Write a HN app for iOS in a week, documenting all the process in a series of blog posts. I've been wanting to do this for a couple of months, but I have so many projects going on t…

I've seen namecheap.com endorsed here at HN multiple times, so I think this might be of interest to freelancers/companies in EU. Namecheap.com won't send you any invoices, due to "…

There are tons of interesting feature requests as well as incredibly needed bug fixes listed in the "features you'd like" thread at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363. IMHO an…

It looks like the machine is under heavy load. My shell just stopping responding and now ssh hangs while connecting :-(.

I'm not a specialist in that field, but my marketing efforts have been basically the same for both platforms. Of course, I might have targeted the wrong users in Android while targ…

Sorry, I'd prefer to not disclose that.

I'd say it's even lower than 7%, both for paid and ad supported apps, at least on my experience of having several applications for both iOS and Android. There is a small percentage…

Nice catch :-)! Since I closed the project I mentioned in that comment, I wanted to release some parts of the code. The article about Readability reminded me of it, mostly because …

Yesterday I decided I wanted to experiment with different ways of reading HN. After considering a few options, I settled on a Mac app and spent a couple of hours planning/sketching…

Good idea. The problem is "FaceBook for iPad" is listed in their submissions rather than in their apps, which means it hasn't been approved yet. However, if they end up passing the…

Sandboxing is only required for apps sold in the Mac App Store and the OS won't require apps to be sandboxed. None of your non-sandboxed apps will stop working on March 1st.

It looks like I can't edit the submission, so I'll add a comment. First, I want to thank everybody for your suggestions and let you know that I'm seeing my lawyer first thing tomor…

I'm pretty sure he meant to say "to incorporate" (fundar in Spanish) rather than "to fund" (financiar).

You've reminded me the time when I decided to leave my job and become a freelance. My parents wouldn't stop telling me I was crazy for leaving a nice job for the uncertainty of bei…

I'm Spanish and my GF is Portuguese. I can vouch for everything you said. As an enterpreneur, I work really hard every day to meet my goals. 14 hours days are not unusual to me and…
