The tweet from Wunderlist's Christian ( https://twitter.com/christianreber/status/117061566332663808... ) reminds me a lot of Taskade YC S19 ( https://www.taskade.com ) and what th…

Hey HN, We're LVL6 and we build hardcore (male-centric) social mobile games on iOS. We believe mobile as a medium for gaming isn't being done correctly. Virtual joystick? Pass. Tho…

it's crazy it's taken facebook this long to actually give fan-specific insights data... great read.

You're twisting my words. Are you really so naive to believe that if you make a great app that you're automatically going to climb to the Top 25? Try navigating the app store. Tell…

And marketing as a concept isn't? Why aren't people rallying against Tapjoy when they're incentivizing people to download apps in exchange for virtual currency? As long as you pay …
