Show HN: My Anti-Boredom App Project

Something as simple as writing (even if you don't know what to write), or drawing (even if you think you can't draw), going out to explore your neighborhood (even if it's for the 800th time), starting a new project (even if you don't think you'll ever finish it).
I almost feel bad for hijacking this thread, but it is phrased in terms of boredom not "I made a Reddit reader".
I'd be glad if you accepted my pull request with the fixes: https://github.com/kirualex/kirualex.github.io/pull/1
PS: fantastic UI!
* In a Constantly Plugged-In World, It’s Not All Bad to Be Bored (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/01/your-money/why-its-not-all...)
:)
Also, I tried to remove all the default subreddits and add NSFW ones and found out that:
- It doesn't work, if you want to add a custom subreddit you have to browse them one by one, this would have been a great use of the new "multi" reddit feature, no?
- NSFW images don't actually show by default, I found no way to change this, why?
Funny enough, "iAlien Gallery", a similar iOS app, just got updated with a nsfw option.
* From inside the "photo focus view", add swipe based navigation to move through pictures.
* Add an option to unset the content filter. Could even be detected automatically ("You just removed the filter on 3 photos. Want to disable that for a while?").
I think part of the reason sites like 9gag have taken some share is their great mobile experience making it easy lazily browsing—however, I'm sure hardcore reddit users will hate it!
"We require a license to use these logos in anything outside reddit, both for free and for profit."
"To apply, or if you still have questions after carefully reading all of the above, send an email to licensing@reddit.com."
This policy is still be thoroughly defined. Stay tuned for this to be updated more in the coming months. We’re pretty open here as well but are very cognizant of the use of the reddit trademark.
It is a best practice when creating an app to not include the reddit trademark in the name or icon and to be clear that the app is not made or maintained by reddit, i.e. “App for reddit” is much better than “reddit App.”"
