Nice! But i have another problem, I upload a picture and this turned one left.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean.

I tested this behavior a little bit, it does not apply to the profile picture but when you submit an other picture it appears to be rotated 90° left. So I manually rotated my pic 90° right to counter this, unfortunately the picture appears exactly the same way as before so I suspect it to not be just a rotation 90°left

EDIT: here's a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/efngFHN.png (on the picture I uploaded the sky should appear at the top)

Hmm, wait. If I upload a picture file, this rotate 90° left. (See screenshhot) http://s14.directupload.net/images/130401/asanfblz.png You now what I mean?

I can concrete the problem. If i take a picture with my smartphone camera, this pic rotate. If i take a screenshot with my smartphone this pic don't rotate. I use a samsung galaxy s3 mini with android 4.1.2. I hope it helps (Sorry for my bad english) I'am native Kraut speaker ;)

I would love some comments on the maturity and performance of Clojure (speed, load times, memory consumption, executable size...) for Android apps.

Things have improved quite a bit recently. Daniel Solano Gomez is the pioneer here, and Alex Yakushev made it a lot simpler by creating the lein-droid plugin for leiningen last summer. It will impose a few seconds of load time no matter what, so it is best for long-running apps where loading time isn't as important. The cost in runtime speed, memory consumption, and APK size are also present, but aren't a big issue i…

I've just tried NightWeb and the startup latency is very high, even on my Nexus 4. Sadly I can't think of an app where 5-10secs of latency is acceptable :(

Yeah I will definitely work on this, I apologize for that.

I'll look into this; it hasn't happened on my phone but hopefully I'll figure it out when I get home from work tonight.

Thank you for narrowing that down for me, I'll try to fix this soon.

No prob, from dev to dev. I like your software, the clear and minimal design and, sorry, why isn't a btc donate code on your project page?

I'll consider that in the future, but I'm not in a rush to solicit donations right now. If I decide to quit my job and work on this full time, I will definitely start begging =)

I ran the app for most of this morning on my Nexus 4, after adding most of the links in this HN post as favorites. Between 9 and 11 my battery lost 40% of its charge. Ordinary usage tends to yield 14 to 17 hours of battery life from a charge. This kind of impact on battery life will be a deal breaker for most people until resolved.

Fell out of my chair reading those "ordinary usage" numbers. Reading a book for a couple hours drops my N4 by 50%, easy.

I own a Nexus 4 and agree with the parent poster. 14 or more hours mostly idle is normal. I get even more if I dim the screen for normal use.

Fortunately, Android JellyBean provides all the data you need to fix your problem. If you are getting worse battery life, you need to check Settings -> Battery and determine which apps are unreasonably eating up your battery life.
