I've been writing custom web apps for awhile now and with my less technically astute clients I usually just refer to the application as a "system" that they can access from your we…

I've had almost all of my apps rejected at least once; and in every instance is was an app update that was flagged for violating a guideline or rule it passed for on the initial re…

US Golf Courses ( http://www.usgolfcoursesapp.com ) was the first and most successful app I made back when I was starting with iOS development in the early spring of 2011. Over the…

I've predominantly been a lurker here for quite awhile (my account is only a few hundred days older than your own) and I feel the quality is down from when I joined. Contrary to mo…

I built something similar to this back in 2007 and while it did ok for a few years it eventually fell off of a cliff. It's difficult to compete now against free alternatives and ch…

I haven't tried Flurry. I had Mixpanel working so fast I didn't even bother with anything else.

I use MixPanel in my apps and found it to be very easy to implement and use: https://mixpanel.com/docs/integration-libraries/iphone

This is surprising to the OUYA folks I bet, who were very recently touting that OnLive was coming to their box.

I like Postmark: http://postmarkapp.com/

These are some of my favorite HN threads and, hopefully without touching on amoore's toes, I wanted to get one rolling for May before it was too late.

My guess is that this was the crux of the breakup with 5by5. I have no idea what sponsors pay to be on 5by5 but I would be surprised if Gruber's cut of that was anywhere near $5,00…

Your reply just reiterates my point because you're doing the same thing the post author does. In between the talk of version control, his post is laced with allusions that people w…

From the article: "...but choosing to build a MySQL editor into a web development package just furthers my impression that Coda is basically designed for the php crowd." I'm not su…

I felt the same way as you at the time I listened to it originally but it's very possible we are over analyzing it too. One day a week I work on-site for a client and it's a monste…

Here are the last ten seconds in the history of The Talk Show on 5by5: Benjamin: "We'll be back regular time next week, right?" Gruber: "I guess so." Benjamin: "Ok. Thanks John." G…

I'm a sports nerd but trolling all of the blogs and newspapers that cover my favorite teams is a bit much. RSS is fine but I like to keep the number of feeds I subscribe to low. My…

I've been using freshbooks.com for quite awhile now and I like it a lot. I'm a one-man shop and it seems to fit my needs perfectly.

You're right. At first glance it just seemed transparent to me because it has that gradient at the bottom. A better complaint would be that since the background color of the menu m…

If I had one tiny criticism about the site it's that the menu bar, once it detaches and scrolls with the user, is a bit hard to make out because of its transparent background.

This was my first thought as well. This is a good reason why you need to take down payments. There probably isn't a freelancer out there that hasn't wanted to do what this guy has …
