    Just use https://tinfoil.sh They solved all this stuff, I'm surprised more people aren't aware of it.

    Are you still working on this? Because I like the words I see on your GitHub -- vim-style bindings, keyboard driven, sounds like you write a definition language for your designs, b…

    Sorry for the unsolicited advice, but I wanted to share something that was counterintuitive and made a big difference for me. Not sure what types of exercise you are doing or your …

    I'm not sure why you'd want to include AirBnBs and second houses in your measurement vacancy measurement — they aren't available for rent.

    Location tracking requires specific permission from the user, not as part of installation. I think you're a bit out of date. https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices…

    Carin is awesome. Author of such classics as Hitchhiker's Guide To Clojure [1] and World Domination With Hexapods and Clojure [2]. And I think she has a book coming out soonish? Th…

    In the same genre, I watch this when I need a touch of inspiration. They're quotations from The Pale Blue Dot, again with the Sagan voiceover. http://vimeo.com/2822787 Often we for…

    Ha! A) Because I love Double-Doubles. B) Because it's more than 2 year old (before there really was a hamburger icon on Android). It's completely redesigned in the next version, th…

    Oh, thanks for the reminder. I fixed it a few days ago and did a staged rollout but forgot to push it to everyone. I've done that so it should update for you soon.

    Because it can be better designed, use common design / navigation patterns of your mobile OS, notify you when you get a reply, change the text size, change the theme, have richer a…

    I'm not blaming you. It just feels bad, you know? I'll definitely email you in the future about stuff like this. And don't get me wrong, it will be great to be able to throw out th…

    Oh, I'm well aware. I've had to push many quick fixes when some field gets renamed, etc. It's really not the API change that bothers me, more the lack of features. But hopefully th…

    This... is cool, but also kinda sucks for me. I've invested dozens of hours into writing an extremely complicated scraper for my Android version of HN. https://play.google.com/stor…

    I was going to ask -- isn't this exactly like Hydra? But some Googling indicates it's the same project and was renamed. Explanation of the name change here: http://sdegutis.github.…

    Just tried out the beta. I can't import Adobe Illustrator files yet (their forums says this is coming later). But otherwise it seems like a pretty good replacement. The panning and…

    Please yes (on the Light Table demo). I know my way around ClojureScript, and I cannot get the Om TODOMVC demo to run in Light Table. If I get it figured out, I guess I'll be the o…

    Very cool of the people doing the matching donations. I'm always happy to do anything I can to help the EFF. But now, more than ever, it feels like they might be our best chance to…

    Kinda tangential, but mentioning threads brought it up. I have core.async on the brain, so I was just wondering if you've looked at it or plan on using it for anything. David Nolen…

    It's pretty brand new, so I don't think there are any "real" projects using it yet. But you can check out this example repo from David Nolen (the blog posts author) for some more e…

    Cool stuff! A couple of days ago I listened to Rich Hickey talk more about core.async on the most recent ThinkRelevance podcast: http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2013/07/10/rich-hick…

    You should add an "email me when the Mac version is ready" signup form. Because I will forget about this if you don't remind me, but I'm willing to buy as long as the price isn't s…
