That's my plan :)

I'll just leave this here for silly entertainment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n50wnvo3dA

looks pretty simple and sweet. Best of luck!

Not that great yet. My day job doesn't allow me much time to focus on everything an app implies. Hopefully I will fix this soon.

I like those screenshots. :) Let me know on twitter when it's launched @tudorizer

Good timing with this thread. My attempt is with making iOS games. Trying to mix pleasure and profit. First attempt is http://clumsyandthestars.com/. Working on a second one now...

Link?

That is very strange.

I did this experiment 1 year ago. This was my result back then http://tudormunteanu.com/post/1341815876/a-day-without-color...

A few minutes includes cross-browser testing? I have the feeling that this would take minimum 30-50 minutes. 7$ for that sounds decent, plus re-usable.

I see what you did there. A meta/piggy-back business on top of the YC buzz, but i'm ok with it. As much as I stay away from wearing unknown texts on my clothing, I'd be fully ok to wear these if they look decent and the quality is ok. I'm fully happy wearing my Mailchimp t-shirt because 1. mailchimp rocks 2. it's comfy and creative.

I wonder if the people who commented about free t-shirts do realize that the money doesn't go to the YC companies, but to this other start-up.

There is one small reason why I'm here ranting and not actually signing up: that credit card form. I see that you use https, but there's something I don't trust about this "1 page, bam, give us your credit card info" bit.

My iPhone 4S which dropped down the stairs last week could tell you some stories. Plus now I can sell it at a better price. Plus my case is also a bottle opener, that helps :)

yeah, just tested with German keyboard. I guess a localization would be needed?

Anyway, upvoting because the guys behind it are awesome.

Why sad?

Did anybody notice the background behind this? https://heello.com/live, from the founder of Twitpic, which actually has a very close goal as App.net.

After reading the title and then the article I felt a bit sad, but now that you posted this link and I'm confused. As much as I respect hard work of other people, what's the point of this plethora of sub-standard apps? Getting a wider net of possible quick sales?

Going with a publisher should be avoided as much as possible and it's a very ignorant answer, but for the end user, it seems that only these types of games seem to be worth their money.

If we could only choose this :)... Anyway, sounds like a matter of family culture. Her dad was already running the family business, maybe motivated by his dad before him. This is some of the best advice a parent can give, IMHO.

[edit: 'His' changed to 'her'. Sorry for that]

My point exactly.

I kinda conceptually disagree with approaches like this, for the same reason I dislike the official Github client: it renames some basic git concepts. e.g. git sync. How is this helpful when the dev is put in front of a situation (not configured server, new colleague who is not aware of legit)? Essentially I admire the work put into this project, I just question the goal.

You hit the nail in the head here. From what I saw while living in London, Singapore and now in Germany is that the problem is not with the talent, but with the right compesation. There are so many hackers out there, but "rockstars" or "ninjas" for 25K GBP is an insult.

what? This actually exists as a theory? Now I'm a believer. This got me laughing "in order to be useful for validating an age of the universe less than 10,000 years rather than more than 10 billion years".

I wonder how the browsers will be in 2015...

Here we go again. Another "Obj-C killer". "Ooh, that ugly obj-c is so unproductive!".

Currently I'm mainting a couple of medium to big obj-c projects and one big ROR custom CMS. My background was mostly in Python. A few years ago this sharade of writing faster obj-c app started. You guys might have heard of Wax (in Lua) which seemed to have a similar concept to RubyMobtion (of course, w/o the shiny presentation style that comes with the ROR community). After rolling my sleeves and digging into Obj-C (and CocoaTouch), all other alternatives look like made for people who are comfy/lazy and stick to writing in high-level scripting languages. If they admit their status, no problem, just that personally I would not bet medium-to-big project on anything else except plain obj-c.

The "RubyMotion Makes Debugging Easy" is the silliest part. Good luck on using GDB/LLDB!

Note: sharade and other casual language was in no intent meant to discredit the hard work put in by the developers of such tools. Full respect for the gents behind RubyMotion. They are building a fair business.

All and all, stop whining and get to know both sides.

Where is this from?

I like the "get things done" attitude and let's say that the article's tone is related to age, but how this made top 1 on HN is far beyond me...just...how!?

I love windturbines too, for some very strange reason. I could stare at them for hours. Especially fields of them.

Was there one in Stuttgart? :(

I'm not directly interested in the job position, but it's good to see you guys growing.

That orange on light blue is difficult to read.
