Here are a couple of my apps on sale. I'd be happy to give coupons to HN users - shoot me an email: haseebq _at_ jumpdesktop.com Jump Desktop RDP & VNC for iOS: $15 -> $10: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jump-desktop-remote-desktop/... Jump Desktop RDP & VNC for Mac: $30 -> $15: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jump-desktop-remote-desktop/...

Does Jump Desktop support RDP file transfer using copy/paste? I looked at the product description but didn't see this noted.

No it doesn't support copy-paste file transfers yet. Supports folder redirection though.

I expected more, nothing really interesting on that list. Just the usual suspects, the same old Mac software that's (1) always on sale or (2) bundled up every few months.

I had the same thought. Now I remember that most of the best software for developers is already open source.

Simply not true on Windows. Hardly true on OS X, but otherwise, yes, gcc is free.

Pity that jetbrains didn't join the party (I know they are Czeck). At least, I got me some little snitch && pixelmator 50% off which it nice.

It seems they haven't had a sale in ages, which is a shame because I really want Pycharm but won't pay full wack for it.

Sorry, not picking on you, but statements like yours kind of bug me. You want a quality product yet refuse to pay what the developers have determined is both fair for their development and continued evolution and support for their product? Well, then, use something else.

Disclosure: No relationship to Jetbrains other than being a happy customer who paid "full wack". I do wish they'd improve their support though. My experience has been it's mostly crickets for a while before you hear back.

My book, Bulletproof SSL and TLS, is available at 50% with the coupon BLACKFRIDAY: https://www.feistyduck.com/books/bulletproof-ssl-and-tls/bla...

Please note that the discount on the bundle (paperback and digital formats) is about 48%, due to the coupon limitations of Shopify. For full disclosure: we currently have a small discount for everyone, and the coupon adds 40% on top of that.

Reading this list makes me happy I develop for/with Linux.

The only software I pay for is my IDE :).

Where is Sublime and IntelliJ Idea???? They are the only ones that matter :D

use emacs

You're being a bit irresponsible, people are not really the same after embracing Emacs. First you try to understand what's the deal with all these parens and year later you frown at almost everything that isn't Lisp.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

aren't those for ebooks?

That is true, the discount is only good for e-books. I hardly even thought to make the distinction. These days, for technical topics anyway, the "e-" prefix is just as optional for "book" as "mail".

No, it's not. If you sell me a book, and it turns out to be an ebook, that's a scam, and I'm getting my money back. Technical topics or not.

30% off Bvckup 2 - https://bvckup2.com/purchase/?code=BF2014 Not a dev tool per se, just a general purpose app that may come handy as a part of the development pipeline. Here's the Show HN I made several months ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8027405

Off topic, but kudos for your product site - I think it's functionally and aesthetically very well done. The annotated UI pagers on the homepage are neat.

Thanks. I was actually going to redo it soon, but mostly just the pitch, not the styling.
