So you "cringe on" Wikipedia?
Good point. Still, MySQL in 2016, almost 2017 :)
Please do suggest an alternative technology rather than just sneering at them for using MySQL.
The Memory App – Instant personalized memory recall

Re: The Memory App – Instant personalized memory recall
#42Why can't they provide at least a little bit of information about how it works? All we get is glossy descriptions without substance... "you want this app, it's really good".. but nothing about whether it works offline, what cloud services it uses, or any details about back-ups, data handling or web version, permissions, or anything.
This is my pet peeve these days particularly with mobile apps. Sure, you can use hooks to draw my attention but if you want me to install it - you've got to tell me "How it works".

I'd also appreciate seeing the real cost - free with in-app purchases doesn't tell me much.

#44Can't even verify because it tells me I used the wrong phone number, lol. Wtf
Re: The Memory App – Instant personalized memory recall
#45My memory sucks, and I would love an app to help me. Alleviate my concerns about data privacy, and make it available on Android, and I'll give it a serious try.
I'm the same way - I kinda freaked out when I realized that I'm graduating college soon and barely have any memories to look back on (besides the obvious ones, but that's not too fun). That's why I came up with www.remnis.com - I'd love to hear what you think.

#46Yet another iPhone-only app. Please remember 2/3rds of your market runs Android, not iOS.
Please stop leaving money on the table.

They're not leaving money on the table if it takes 6mo to learn android and rebuilt they're app.
I hear your frustration, but this goes against other common HN advice: "avoid the hip thing, build it with the tools you know best" (not to mention "ship early and often").

99% of "Show HN" type of apps are website-in-a-box HTML+CSS+JS blobs.
There is at least 50 frameworks for easily building apps for both platforms (with some also supporting Windows Phone as well) with a single press of the button. Choose one, use it, stop reinventing the wheel.

Reminds me of the third episode of Black Mirror: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You Similar, but in the case of the episode you could also replay every interaction you had with other people... Was that a slight frown before they smiled?
Or this Ted Chiang story? > There’s no denying the usefulness of software that can actually answer the question “where did I put my keys?” But Whetstone is positioning Remem as more than a handy virtual assistant: they want it to take the place of your natural memory. https://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/fall_2013/the_truth_o...
Thanks for that link, interesting reading for sure
Re: The Memory App – Instant personalized memory recall
#50So.... What does it do? Is it a brain training app like lumosity or a spaced Repition system like Anki or a cause in using memory palace or what is it?
There is nothing on that page telling me how this app will help me remember stuff (or what kind of stuff)
