I think because of the zoom feature...at least that's what caught my eye as relatively unique.

Thanks a bunch for this, very helpful stuff. And congrats on your well-earned success! I just launched an app a couple of weeks ago and am past that first spike on your graph (we were reviewed on AppA…

Wrote and launched http://app.net/emptyinbox with my wife as a spare time project over the course of a few months. It's an inbox zero assistant for Gmail on iPhone. I am my own app's biggest fan, I …

Just wanted to chip in that I thought the article was a great read, informative, and the author's self-deprecating sarcasm was very refreshing. Much preferred to extremely dry and technical stuff.

Thanks re: the page. Weird to see no other feedback from anyone else - maybe I just picked the wrong time to post this seeing as how most of the US are asleep. :-/

My wife and I wrote this as a side project in our spare time over the last few months. Would love your feedback both on the landing page copy as well as on the app itself.

"You should follow me on Twitter" has bugged me for months now, I didn't realize it started with Dustin Curtis as an "effective" phrase. It mainly bugged me for sounding incredibly presumptuous - as i…

Wow. This entire thing from start to finish is like a textbook example on how NOT to handle PR crises. Let me get this straight: you're telling us the lesson you've learned is to not respond when emot…

Big no-no: At login, you just sent me my password in clear text via email. You should never, ever be able to retrieve my clear text password, even just in order to send it to me. http://codahale.com/…

Similar idea is Tastytum ( http://www.tastytum.com/ ), though not much has happened there lately. I was a "beta tester" host last year, and it worked really well and was a very fun evening. The idea w…

Killed my facebook account a half a year ago, so FB-required is a no-go for me. It's amazing how many new sites are requiring FB. But at least yours makes sense why you'd want to.

I thought Hanselman's tweet made the point far better than the entire article because the article very quickly became quite the stretch trying to find examples: overlooking the fact that many, many pe…

But people DO seem to be surprised / disappointed that Apple is enforcing this draconian policy when in fact they have already been enforcing it for months as can be seen in the Kindle app and many ot…

Where are all these Apple bashers coming from? If Apple DIDN'T reject the apps using this API, Amazon and many, many devs would have the right to feel pretty angry at the injustice and inconsistency. …

Very inspiring stuff. A friend of mine once told himself he'd never be stumped by the same question twice and held himself to it. It's amazing what simple habits can do if you give them time.

So frustrating to see people are not learning from the past that these legalese phrases are NEVER as bad as they sound. It seems this never gets old, does it? How often has this phrasing caused issues…

I'd agree it "smells" more like a bug than a feature, since there is no graphical cue that you are actually pressing a key, also, holding the key doesn't cause a popup of letter variants like the ÿ. A…

Like the UI, kind of like Workflowy plus a calendar. In the help it says "Dates and times must be seperated by a comma." - should be "separated"

Seeing how popular personalized songs are on Fiverr, this actually is an excellent idea IMHO.

It IS well made. My wife and I got it about a year ago. It's password-protected and very tastefully drawn. About 25% of the positions are virtually impossible but pretty hilarious. :) I'd have had no …

Since Dropbox (and presumably Google) store files only once globally, mapped to the file's hash, it makes me wonder when Google (or Dropbox?) will let you search and then add anybody's (public) file…

Wow, genuine thanks! That's one of those "why didn't I think of that before?" ideas.

Just downloaded it and gave it a spin with my Bamboo stylus. Here are my impressions, FWIW: * First impression: Nice tutorial, nice animations when picking a notebook. Great idea to do your app planni…

This article, though interesting, is 4 years old (referring to the z-axis as a "recent addition"). I like the technical explanations behind the physics, though! A less technical, but more recent artic…
