    It's essentially a find-a-name-for-your-coming-child app for expecting parents.

    Please shoot me an email (the email address is in my bio) if you have an active Android developer account and are potentially interested in taking over the app; then I'll send you …

    Not all new tech is good. As someone who experienced life before smartphones, I can unironically and without hyperbole say that life was better back then, and people were smarter a…

    Ask HN: Where can I give my app away for free?

    I’ve made a mobile app that taught me a lot about the process of app development, but hasn’t seen a lot of downloads. For various reasons I’m moving on, and after having closed my …

    > It makes no sense to bother individual translators with such a miniscule job You're not bothering them if you're paying for the job. On your part, all you need to do is to set up…

    Machine-created translations are bad. They've become better over time, but they're still bad. If you've ever tried having your native language butchered in the way that machine-cre…

    It wasn't immediately obvious that the form on the page can be edited. Also, several links aren't working. While the idea might be good, some work needs to be put into telling user…

    Six months of darkness is a bit hyperbolic, to say the least. The sunshine, temperature and daylight situation in Denmark is on the whole comparable to what you'd find in Germany, …

    The Proton ecosystem (email, calendar, drive, docs, password management, VPN, etc.) is great. https://proton.me

    I second the support for Proton. Proton, however, is not EU-based (not that it matters in this context). It's Swiss. Switzerland, like Norway and the UK, is not part of the EU.

    What's your experience using Lynx (mobile framework)?

    It's been a few months since Lynx JS (https://lynxjs.org/) was open-sourced. It seems to offer a lot with regards to speed, but it doesn't use real HTML elements, and seems to cate…

    Based on the numbers I've seen and the comments I've read here, I'd go for in-app purchases instead. Good luck with your app!

    It genuinely wasn't meant as an ad. What sucked about it was realizing that every prospect I had of making money through paid apps (as opposed to apps with in-app purchases) wither…
