Show HN: My Sticker Calendar App is on iTunes

It's just a whimsical little portfolio piece. I just missed putting stickers on a calendar like I did when I was a kid. The calendar is my own and it contains some clever code. (Note how the "leftover" days on the previous and next month behave.) There's also a O(1) double-ended queue behind the UIScrollView so that there's the illusion of infinite scrolling with only 5 objects.

The app sounded only goofy on a first read-through, but I think if your copy describes more benefits of the application for users, it would come off as more useful! Have you heard of Jerry Seinfeld's "Red X" productivity trick[1]? This application can be used for exactly that. If the description discussed that first, instead of the relation to childhood "star charts," then it would read to be more useful more quickly.

Congrats on shipping code!

Yes. I'm trying to get to the point where I program every day without fail. That's a good suggestion. I'm going to put that on the app website.
