Need help understanding why this is interesting enough to be on front page.

Yeah, this was last week's news from WWDC. Not sure why it's picking up the votes now.

It is interesting because it allowed easy integration, literally just a few lines of code, to Facebook and Twitter accounts for iOS developers. It was also easy for the user as well because as long as they were logged into those services system wide they literally just had to hit a button to login. It helped a bunch of startups quickly onboard users with very little time or effect and now those days are drying up. Expect updates soon to about 75% of your iOS apps. (Yes, it really is that common.)

It involves a major new version of a major mobile OS, and how it drops integration for major social media platforms.

In HN where we get posts for minor Node and Golang update releases, what more exactly do you needed it to have to be on the front page?

To discuss an effective way for achieving cold fusion?

Did they also remove the contacts integration?
