Legend··on Show HN: PennyWhale – Use natural language to search for any financial data
+1 I like these suggestions given that I was expecting the exact things :)
Legend··on Show HN: Cockpit – Self-hosted API-driven CMS. Manage content once
Yes. A demo would be really nice!
Legend··on Show HN: Invest Your Money In What Matters to You
I looked at the site and liked the design though I agree with the rest of the comments here about SSL etc. One basic question I have is why did you choose Motif as against others such as TradeKing or AmeriTrade or E-Trade. Any particular reason for that?
Legend··on Ask HN: Screenshot Saturday
Amazing concept! :) Good luck with the game.

I am also interested in knowing an answer to this. In these designs, I often see people ignoring network costs. Can someone with practical experience comment on this aspect?
Legend··on Popcorn Time Is So Good at Movie Piracy, It’s Scary
Reminds me of a work on detecting copyright monitors. Read the introduction part to understand the risks of using torrents to stream movies.

This seems pretty awesome. Can someone please tell me where this could be useful?
Legend··on Richard Lynch, an awesome PHP community guy and former colleague needs our help
I am still a student so donated $50. I know its not much but neverthless.

PHP is the first language that I ever learnt and it has had a great influence on my life. Thank you for everything you've done Richard. Please spend the rest of your days peacefully.

+1 Excellent suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to write this! :) I'll start with Blender and see where things go. Really appreciate it.

Sorry! Made an edit to my post. I wanted to ask if there was a cheaper way to learn game programming than investing so much in Unity upfront. Thanks for the pointers anyways.

Any suggestions on where to start with the artwork for a complete newbie? I'm very interested in game programming but the artwork has somewhat discouraged me for quite a bit.

I have never done game programming. Can anyone recommend whether it is easier to pick this up compared to Unity? Also, isn't Unity expensive [edit: for a newbie]?
Legend··on Show HN: I built a local/fast marketplace for used gadgets, games
Looks very nice! Neatly executed. Here are a couple of quick observations/suggestions. I am not a UX designer so most of these are from my personal perspective.

- When I click on PS3/XBox 360/Wii, the page scrolls down and that's fine. However, it would be great to put a "Top" button somewhere to take the user back or ideally, make the "item" band containing Tablets, PS3, XBox 360... stick to the top.

- That brings me to my second point: This type of design is not scalable unless you are planning on supporting only Tablets, PS3s... See what I am saying?

- When I first visit your site, I would love to see you auto-detect my location instead of waiting for me to select one. See here for an example: http://html5demos.com/geo

- Too much space is wasted for each item cell. You can easily have two categories next to each other if the space permits. Think of making it resposive, for instance.

- What is the intuition behind the purchase/selling mechanism? Are you designing around some auction schemes? When I want to sell something, it does not ask me for a price. When I want to buy something, it is asking me for a price. So this seems closer to an auction mechanism than any other regular kind of a purchase. Why not explore mechanisms where you can let the seller specify a minimum amount he is willing to accept? This way you can eliminate spammy customers who are trying to purchase an iPad for $1 :)

That's all for now. Keep up the great work!

Legend··on Ask HN: I need some help with an investing-based startup
Definitely looks interesting. Can you also elaborate on how you came across this startup? Were you googling around for something related or did you hear this through a friend?

Legend··on How to bring back Chrome's old New Tab page
I thought the new tab page was really making Chrome slow so found this trick on CNET.
Legend··on Show HN: AdminJS, the Backend-Agnostic Administration Framework
Great work if it is what I think it is though I'm not totally sure what this is. Can you please elaborate? Any usecases would be awesome!
Legend··on Ask HN: Any examples of business cards?
Thank you. For someone independent like me, what kind of logo could I have? Or can I just put my university logo?

I can confirm that accessing that the following boots you back to the home screen:

Looks like Google is keeping its promise :)
