Hmm I can see this potentially creating a new market. The biggest issue is probably getting app developers on board with variations of their logo.

> The key to a success of this type is luck. What an odd mentality. No, the key to success is skill , with effort (grit?) thrown in there as well. Luck can sometimes play a significant factor, all else being equal. But the idea that everyone is equally "good" at things, or put in the same effort, and that it's mere chance that success happens to someone is...pessimistic to say the least.
They're not keys, they are requirements. And soft requirements, on top of that. But luck is a huge component in getting wealthy. Plenty of people with equal skills, equal expertise, and equal hard work never succeed because they don't get the magical conjunction of right time at the right place.
Look at Facebook. When it was released there were a hundred products like it, but the specific combination of things Facebook did made it super popular. I cannot believe that was due to skill.

Half a second is actually quite a big deal. "A delay of less than 100 milliseconds feels instant to a user, but a delay between 100 and 300 milliseconds is perceptible. A delay between 300 and 1,000 milliseconds makes the user feel like a machine is working, but if the delay is above 1,000 milliseconds, your user will likely start to mentally context-switch." http://designingforperformance.com/performance-is-ux/#desi…
Not in the context of an 8 second boot time. Almost no one will notice 8 vs 8.5s
Most apps start in about a second.

Other than the derisive "sheeple" response, why do people stick with iPhones when Androids have more desirable features?
Apple's obsession over small details and creating a delightful UX.
Apple does not create a delightful UX, but the phone feels a lot more... refined than any android phone I’ve had.
I don’t deny I can do more with the android phone though.

> Has nobody heard about accessibility? Or do they not care, because “I can read it”. Genuinely, no. For those who have it, vision is such an integral part of...well, existence that intuitively grasping that people have completely different ways of perceiving it beyond the obvious is extremely difficult. This goes a bit beyond the "try to explain 'blue' to someone" troupe. I have difficulties explaining my own brand…
I get what you're saying, but decreasing vision acuity is one thing everybody in this world is guaranteed to run into (barring an early death, that is).
I also don't think it would be the firs time younger people do not comprehend the difficulties of aging, but that's a whole other bowl of wax

> Androids have more desirable features That's subjective. Many people prefer iPhones. They may find the features of iPhone more desirable or some other aspect about it like the Apple ecosystem.
I'm referring to features that were in Android and later implemented on iOS - presumably those are desired features, and at some point Android had it and iOS didn't. There's likely features that Android has today that will at some point be implemented in iOS in the future. Yet those features aren't enough to encourage switching.
(For context, I'm writing this not as an Android fanboy, but as an 11-year iPhone user, though I've often had a secondary current gen Android for testing, etc, and have constantly evaluated switching and never found a compelling reason for doing so, despite some of those attractive line-items)

#147> In 2013, the jailbreaking days of iOS were in full effect. I thought jailbreaking was basically over by 2013
That’s correct. That’s around
The downfall of jailbreaking.

If you read his post, he says to continually publish to find out what sticks. Your comment sounds like you want to publish once and succeed. You need to also fail to succeed.
I don't think we disagree. One of Unity's founders once compared what they did, making a game engine for Mac, to building a ship in the desert. Then the iPhone App Store came along, like a tidal wave through the desert, and they've been riding that wave ever since.
> find the right place
But you won’t know it’s the “right place” until after the fact.

> a bit of inspiration wrapped around 'try my product!' Where exactly did you find a “try my product” in the post?
The notion stuff. The entire post is about using his product to quickly create a website that capitalizes on timing.
Ok, I hear you. But I disagree that the entire post is about that. It was just a paragraph (which I didn’t even really notice initially).

Technically it's still not available to iPhone users. The actual method of changing the icons is a really nasty workaround that needs to be performed for each and every application . Instructions: https://icons.tr.af/how Don't get me wrong, I do love my iPhone, but this isn't something most people (myself included) will have the patience to do.
It also slows down the launch of every app because you're launching an app to launch your app. The idea that people would pay money, do a bunch of extra work and make their device slower just to change the appearance of their home screen because a handful of people on social media popularize it blows my mind.
Well, here is some history (from 1992):

I remember it was not inexpensive ($19).
