How are you using Syncthing on iOS?

I want to be able to access the same content from my laptop, phone, and tablet. I used Obsidian for a while with a convoluted setup (a Git repo with an iOS shortcut that fetched wh…

The ideal “knowledge base” app I’ve been searching for is as follows: - Self-hosted - Attractive web client that loads very quickly and works well on mobile - Can point it at a nes…

Nice to see this here. I’ve using a tablet for cursor movement since around 2010, and I find it amazing except for one small issue I’ve never been able to solve: tapping with the p…

I agree about the left-right issue. I just can’t get acclimated to the current controls. Lovely game though, still good fun :)

+1 for Outline! Self-hosted server and web app, clean codebase, loads fast, mobile friendly, actively maintained. I had tried Obsidian, Trilium, TiddlyWiki, and all the rest (not t…

Fastmail’s calendar does exactly this - infinite continuous scroll - and I love it. I also find it constricting when I use another calendar (Google Calendar, for instance) that pag…

As a fun counterpoint about case sensitivity in English, consider: - The man spoke to God, saying he had made poor decisions. - The man spoke to God, saying He had made poor decisi…

I agree with you on this. Ultimately I think there's an element of pride ("I don't get taken in by scams!") that I would do well to shed. But looking at the vague list of attribute…

Thanks for this. I've struggled with the effective-vs-true question, even to the point of panicking that I had read too much about the placebo effect for it to work on me. I like y…

I've seen this book recommended from time to time. I have a condition that falls within the book's purported domain, but when I read the synopsis, it raised all kinds of red flags.…

Blindsight, by Peter Watts. It's a sci-fi novel that asks fascinating questions about sentience and intelligence, and made me stare at the ceiling for weeks after I finished it.

I'm not always sure. There was a Lifehacker feature, and it's been on one of the App Store productivity lists for a few months, but daily sales vary mysteriously and I have no idea…

Continuo - http://continuoapp.com It's a numbers-free habit tracker for iOS, for people who want to self-track but don't want to deal with remembering and inputting precise values …

Plenty of professional animators use rotoscoping. Modern CG animators often reference video recordings of themselves acting. It's just another tool, not some form of cheating.

Given the tone of the site, I assume it's the creator's friend, or maybe the creator. Personally I think it's a hilarious change from the fake-looking testimonials you usually see …

No worries, the bassoon is never anyone's first choice ;)

Not to derail, but as a bassoon player, I'm curious how you landed on the name.

Update: The fixed version is live, and I have confirmation that it's working correctly on iPhone 6+.

For anyone using an iPhone 6+ experiencing a crash: It's a memory issue specific to the 6+, and I've submitted an update that corrects this. Apple's doing an expedited review, so t…

Yeah, this was a strangely tough screen to design. There's no established shorthand for "swipe this way" - I tried arrows in both directions, and each time approximately half of my…

That's so nice to hear. I've so been nervous about launching and this incredible HN community makes that fear seem ridiculous. Thank you!

Awesome, thanks for the support!

Shucks. If you would email me at naftali@continuoapp.com, I'd be very grateful.
