> Unacceptable TLS Certificate It would be really nice if the new services commonly showcased on "Show HN" would take the time to correctly implement HTTPS. In fact, since my browser is set to strict-ssl enforcement, I cannot load the webpage at all.

Also vulnerable to POODLE.

Yet another entry in the growing list of websites whose creators didn't bother testing in anything other than Chrome.

You could have just said: "you need to test this in other browsers"

and your comment would have been more concise and less gratuitously negative.

Same goes for the commenter bragging about how many bugs he's found and how "insecure" this app is. You could just tell him what the problems are.

It's a show and tell project, be nice.

This is what I use http://pcache.alexa.com/images/settings/windows7/notepad-bla...

I'm also a big fan of using standard notepad programs (this, TextEdit on OS X) but struggle to find a good program for mobile note taking. Any suggestions for iOS or Android?

I use Jotterpad on Android and it works well, also can sync to Dropbox (though I can't testify that works well, as I haven't yet)

I was intentionally shaming him. The problem is becoming much more widespread and it's the product of simple laziness.

A bit off topic but pertains to your question: I made an iOS app with Parse.com for my backend[1]. Should I worry about others breaking in to my user's info? What can I do to protect their data?

Supporting Firefox and IE are decisions. I choose not to do it until something I've built had had consistent usage for a few months. Then I spend the time and support them but it's a pain. I test on chrome and safari web and mobile (blankslate is not a good mobile experience mind you). I'll jump in and fix the known Firefox layout weirdness soon but it's not laziness, it's a choice. Instead of doing that I built a google docs integration and PDF converter, I felt that was more worthwhile. You don't, that's fine.

As for the commenter saying he hacks my stuff, he has told me the problems and I appreciate it as I always do. He's always been a dick about it for some reason but that's his prerogative. I hope he keeps hacking what he thinks of as my projects (almost everything he's hacked before was something I was either re-coding or didn't code at all).

I don't think shaming someone is an effective way to encourage them to create better quality software.
