Also a dev on loki-network, we have $4.1+ million USD so far invested in relays (and potentially exits). It's layer 3 (so think more like i2p) but newer crypto and much better late…

I thought that about their keyboard too but they just opened it up in iOS8. I believe things are changing.

Bunch of z-machine games here: http://ifiction.org/

Pretty neat project. I love seeing the base integration with the Android OS. And I think it's a wise move to have some sort of app on iOS. I'm an iOS user myself, however I can't r…

I can confirm they did lay-off most of their staff though.

The parent company is still there. It pretty much means, they're pivoting with all the money they raised.

Taking PHP Seriously is a great presentation that talks about why FB is using PHP: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/php-history

>pure PHP will become a less-tested second-class citizen on HHVM Not really true because HHVM has to run basic PHP before it can apply the Hack annotation. You can pull out the ann…

Sending your random seed over the wire doesn't sound like the right direction. For those listening, it always makes sure they have your seed. Did the NSA get them too?

Excellent point. And as an app.net 3rd party dev, I wouldn't mind paying in BTC however I'm already paid up for the next year. I'm not going to prepare several years in advance eit…

Art can be interpreted in may ways. Just because the author reads it one way doesn't mean it was the intent.

It was actually part of their original plan (See the beginning of http://blog.app.net/2013/02/25/introducing-a-free-tier/ ) First they charged and crowd-sourced for marketing and p…

It doesn't require a 3rd party app at all. For an invite an 3rd party app will give a bonus to the person that invited you. http://blog.app.net/2013/02/25/introducing-a-free-tier/

Isn't DropBox's data api more granular (record-level). Where App.net is more coarse (file-level) and not really ideal for changing data. In fact App.net only has one primitive that…

This is app.net to Push. There are several was to get data on app.net and as well out of App.net. Mainly via 3rd party software and their open source PourOver app. I've written an …

Sometimes the article isn't that great but the comment threads are amazing. I don't want to up vote the article but I do want people to read the threads. It would be nice to be abl…

Ah in that context, this makes more sense. Thanks for the reply.

It's not clear if the wallclock savings was consistent over multiple runs. And by moving one look-up out of redis into ruby, doesn't seem like the right thing to do. That increases…

What group chat app is that? If you're talking about photos in patter chat, there's an established annotation for it that most clients can read and use.

Are open standards not important? Just the source? They have been starting to release the source code of the client applications they've built: https://github.com/appdotnet/

They've embraced open standards: http://blog.app.net/2013/08/07/response-to-brennan-novak-par... And they have started releasing client source code: https://github.com/appdotnet/ a…

It was a big mistake. Clinging on to the twitter model gave them something tangible to model after and improve on but the result of that is the API is largely for micro-blogging. T…

Early adopters aren't tired yet because App.net's continually releasing interesting updates to the platform. And there's even a great example of 3rd party developers working togeth…
