Re: Show HN: Habit List - my first iOS app
#62Minor thing: The iPhone on the site with the app shown on the screen - the low battery percentage, the alarm icon, the odd time and the AT&T icon are all kind of distracting to me. I know it has nothing to do with the actual app, but 11:53 is not a pretty number to look at, nor is 23%. The battery icon is over 3/4 empty which instantly causes me a little bit of anxiety - I'm worried that my phone is dying, not lookin…
It's funny how things like this that has nothing to do with the actual app has an effect on your overall impression of the app.
Absolutely. My favourite is still watch ads - when I realised the watch hands are always (99% of the time) at 10 and 2 - it looks smiley - seeing a watch ad with hands in a different position was very jarring. Odd, isn't it?

Re: Show HN: Habit List - my first iOS app
#64You've done an awesome job with this. The UI is gorgeous and it looks like you didn't lose any functionality with it. I really can't think of anything to critique you on. It seems like most of the criticism on this thread is very minor nitpick-y things. Especially this business about the battery percentage and the alarm icon and not having a favicon for your website... Seriously guys, he's asking for some comments on…

I didn't actually mean kid, it was just colloquial

#65Looks really nice, the website looks awesome, and the App also does. Though, I can't try it because I'm an Android guy. Just two things: 1) 1.99$ ? Are you sure a "free app" isn't best ? 2) Post to blog is bad ? Uh ? :P
I have the impression that the Android platform itself is less commercial, but I fail to grasp the reason for that. I also have an Android phone and not an iPhone and while I probably would have spend a couple bucks on apps on the iPhone, I actually never paid for an app in the Android store. So I just make the claim that "free on the App Store" is != "free on Google Play". Part of that might be simple fact that buyi…
Oh, that clarifies quite a lot: then they are different markets.
And I think I gave the impression of "Apple hater", while I don't own any Apple products, I respect Apple and I think their products are great, but I just prefer Linux PCs and Android phones.
Also, I don't have the money :P

#67Does Habit List use iCloud to sync it's data across my devices?
Not yet, but we're looking into that.
Re: Show HN: Habit List - my first iOS app
#68I've actually been using this for several days now. I tried several similar apps before it and think this is by far the most usable. I like it a lot, but have one suggestion: there should be a way to go to a previous day's list view. I often don't get into the app until I'm in bed, which is sometimes after midnight, meaning I've now lost the current day's list and am actually looking at "tomorrow's" list instead. It'…
Thanks! That's something we've been discussing doing for some time.

#69I was searching for something like this app.
So far I like everything about it except the font, which makes it harder to read the tasks.
As I use it I'll give you feedback, but for now, I like to be able to color code tasks.

#70Beautiful. May I ask what resources you used to learn iOS hacking? Also: What's that font?
As someone pointed out elsewhere, I've hacking for a while. I was just new to iOS. The big hurdle was getting up to speed with Cocoa. Apple's documentation was the best resource for that.
