I may be biased here, but I think almost everyone here is missing the point. Yes, Essential raised $300M because Andy Rubin is at the helm, but the bet is not on the phone they jus…

if you're getting ads after you uninstalled, then you're blaming the wrong app.

IoT finding its footing in augmenting other systems rather than revolutionizing them This is key. All the companies that are trying to start from scratch and build something big ar…

SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel OK Location: Mountain View, CA Specialty: Android, senior level I have 8 years of experience in Android - I started working with it the day it officia…

Nobody is even answering our emails/applications for an IFTTT channel so I'm going to shamelessly hook in here and ask: who do small companies (that's what startups are, right?) ha…

I believe boundlessdreamz is talking about Smart IR Remote [1]. We named our app "Smart Remote" 2+ years ago, and after a month, Peel (the preloaded app) also renamed itself to Sma…

This is Android - what about apps that run mostly in the background ? A music player, fitness tracker, activity tracker? What about apps that run continuously, like a launcher ?

remember that you paid $4.64, but 30% of that went to Amazon anyway. Generally, about 2-3% of the people who would download a free app would also pay for it, which could make Under…

That's maybe a discussion for another medium, but we're actually updating the app right now with a customizable notification - so you have access to your commands from anywhere (in…

As a hardware maker on Kickstarter who is about to ship [1], I can sort-of agree with what the article is saying. Yes, one of the most important things is to find THE right partner…

Android only recently released APIs for sound that are accurate enough for these kinds of applications. As the % of devices running Android 5.0 starts increasing, we'll see sound m…

assuming it's the same anti-piracy mechanism they use for paid apps (and it looks like it is), then you really shouldn't rely on it. Sometimes it takes hours to report an install a…

Of course the author is going to bash WiFi and Bluetooth - they're promoting the only tech they use, 433Mhz radio. But what about Bluetooth LE ? It's already present in all modern …

No, they're not really. We're building Smart IR Remote (universal remote android app) and AnyMote (hardware, now on kickstarter), and we applied on IFTTT's link over a month ago, w…

A lot of us have been hellbanned for comments or submissions, yet still there's no way of finding out what the reason was so that we know not to do that again. Can HN somehow show …

that's the beauty of it: the randomness is "bigger" for objects illuminated "just right" (half way through completely dark and 100% bright), but it still works for pictures taken i…

Please, please, bundle the Mac OSX volume controls in an app and put it somewhere for download. I'd totally pay for that! https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/800/1*AzZdjG36qm…

Not 100% true - I've received steel cutlery even in an airplane (economy class, if it matters). Non U.S. flight, but it did happen.

Would you mind sharing the contact details of the designer & 3d printer with me (email in profile) ? Thanks!
