Show HN: Pocket - my first app ever

I used Evernote on Android to take notes. In the end, I just Gmail myself. It has two advantages: 1) Sends next time I have WiFi connection. 2) The email acts as a reminder to follow up.

Passwordless signup or guest mode would be good - I want to try your app however I do not want to commit yet by creating a nother password. Perhaps link it to ip + username and once logged in have the option to enable any other ip using a password?

What are you referring to? I don't see how the word pocket has any "negative" connotations. It's a little confusing in how it relates to note-taking, but that isn't really negative to me.

The site looks great! Unless you stole the layout ideas from someone else, you should be quite proud of yourself and what you've got started here.

A few pieces of input:

1. Like others, the logo doesn't stand out. In fact, I didn't see it until I read some of the other comments and adjusted my monitor position a bit.

2. Emphasize the txt'ing capabilities a little more. Assuming you're using something like Twilio, why use that validation code in front of the texts? That makes it highly unusable. You should be able to see what number the text is coming from and attach it to the proper account.

3. Put in an sms reply feature. For example, I text #todo or #grocerylist and it returns my notes that haven't yet been completed with that tag. Which leads to... You've already got the ability to post notes, now retrieve them.

4. The simplicity is totally nice, but how about putting these things into different buckets? Mark as complete, next week, etc... ? That way, you can manage the "boards" on which they go in a level beyond the hash-tag boards. Make sense?

You REALLY should be VERY PLEASED with what you've got here. I'm so impressed with the visual appeal of the app.

My guess is you're using authlogic for authentication. Is that right? If so, there are some good articles out there that will walk you through implementing password resets - in fact, I think it might be in the main authlogic page (been a little while since I've done it). It's really easy to implement.

Looks like I was your 84th user! Congrats and keep it up. I love hearing stories like this.

I agree with LRM about the logo... little too dark. Didn't even realize it was there.

For your issues:

1) Try using Authlogic (https://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic) to handle users/passwords... It's a great solution and is super easy to implement. Once you have Authlogic, use this (http://www.binarylogic.com/2008/11/16/tutorial-reset-passwor...) to figure out password resets.

2) Dunno about this... Twilio + some logic?

3) Here is a fix for the jQuery UI + IE9 problems -- http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-ui-does-not-work-on-ie9
