MegaLeon··on Show HN: MindIT – A web based Freemind alternative built in Meteor
Nice, I am developing some stuff to learn Meteor as well. What would you say be the biggest challenge you had while developing this was and how did you solve it?
MegaLeon··on Show HN: I'm Writing a Book on React “Thinking in React”
Nice pricing model. If I get the book now will I be able to read future chapters once they're released?
MegaLeon··on Show HN: HN Reads – the books of hacker news
This is damn good. Surprised it's not getting attention at all. Well done, bookmarked!
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Jukedeck – create unique, royalty-free music for your videos using A.I.
One of my favourite games ever. Was recently announced with VR support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xegBdz8K2nU
MegaLeon··on Show HN: WebGL Cube Snake Game - plays itself using Dijkstra's algorithm
You can if you press the arrow keys!
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Juxta: detailed Amazon product overview, to deliver you from tab hell
Sweet, thanks man!
MegaLeon··on Ask HN: Review my startup: dynalist.io
I normally use my browser on half on a fullHD monitor, just entered the demo and it looks broken. The sidebar overflows on the document and disappears for some reason, leaving only the separator overlaying.
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Juxta: detailed Amazon product overview, to deliver you from tab hell
No support for Amazon.uk?
MegaLeon··on Show HN: A Canaletto painting in Van Gogh's style using deep learning-DeepArt.io
This looks seriously impressive, some of them look way to good to be generated procedurally.

Shame about having to wait 1+ day to test one. Would love to see a stand-alone desktop implementation.

MegaLeon··on Ask HN: Best daily “get-stuff-done”/todo app?
I love workflowy: https://workflowy.com/

I Use it as to-do list, organizer, idea jotting, project manager.

> some studies indicate that making a todo list of manageable action items for each day results in modest productivity gains.

Don't sweat too much on this. As log as you actually get the work done, even pen and paper can be fine.

MegaLeon··on Show HN: Vertexshaderart.com
Wow, really dig this. Love how the music fits as well. How long has this been up for?
MegaLeon··on Ask HN: Best Linux/dev laptop as of October 2015?
I'd say that since X201 go so cheap nowadays, you might as well add $20 to that and get a X220 instead for better hinges, trackpad and CPU juice.
MegaLeon··on Ask HN: IDE Right Screen == Better Problem Solving Skills?
This is damn interesting and fascinating. Wonder to how many other user cases it can be connected to.
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Hand Drawn Icons V.2
I'm not sure the wooden background works well to present this, why not a paper-like texture since they are hand-drawn?
MegaLeon··on Ask HN: Promoting a free niche online tool
Maybe you could approach some experts in the field, humbly present yourself, briefly explain how your tool works and how it can make their life easier, and ask them whether they'd consider a no-string attached test run.

If it's a real niche field like you said, they probably won't get swamped by this kind of emails very much and will get curious.

Once you make a few fans, you could ask whether they can spread the word, or, if they're really into it, they'll do it for you on twitter and such.

MegaLeon··on Phaser – A fast, fun and free open source HTML5 game framework
I released an android game using HaxeFlixel and the process was relatively painless, actually I was suroprise at how well it run on my device and how flawlesly things like immersive mode and in-app purchases were implemented.

But again, it as last year, so I assume 3 years make a huge difference in development, plus Haxeflixel is a haxe framework tailored for making games. To whoever might be interested in diving into it, we shipped a nice amount of polished finished games: http://haxeflixel.com/showcase/games/ (Mine is polaritron)

MegaLeon··on Ask HN: What are the habits you notice in conspicuously happy person?
Working out for sure. Not just from a "spiritual" self-development feeling, exercise does actually release endorphins.
MegaLeon··on Ask HN: What is the best device for reading technical e-books?
If you don't mind shelling $$$ there's the Sony Digital Paper: http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/show-digitalpaper/resource.solu...
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Shakespearean Insult Generator Web App in Go
Love it! I'll send this to my Theatre buddies - we actually have the last showing of a modern reinterpretation of Midsummer's night dream and as you like it tonight - I'm sure they'll love it too!
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Maxx Bench – Gravity Release Bench Press
Sadly most of the gym I've been to in my life don't use benches with those "side catchers" so it wouldn't be really useful in those case.

That aside, looks like a really cool project. I wish you guys best of luck

MegaLeon··on Show HN: scorethings - a website for scoring things
You were going to lose me when you scored the Blues Brothers 7. But then I kept watching and you changed it to 9. Good man.
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Airstrip.io – Nomad stories land here daily
I like it! Are stories hand-picked or are they aggregated automatically based on popularity or such?
MegaLeon··on Show HN: A tool that crawls a subreddit, downloads images
When I quit the program the process doesn't end, and I can't seem to terminate it myself
MegaLeon··on Show HN: A puzzle game inspired by functional programming, written in PureScript
Thi is damn fun, well done. Any plans for a mobile version?
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Re-innovate the resume to the modern digital age
Landing page spells "Exmaple". Other than that looks good, expecting more customization options as this gets developed!
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Website for a student startup – Kassette
Nice overall, all the blue / blueprint smells a bit of github pages template. Definitely need some more clear screenshots video about what the app does because I had to read through the description to figure it out, the current video doesn't tell me anything
MegaLeon··on Show HN: Giving Away Education for Free
The landing page doesn't give away much. What are its features? What advantages compared to similar solutions like codeacademy / etc? Are the videos linked from the same people (they are branded devcast)?
MegaLeon··on Show HN: SORS, a sci-fi doctor sim game inspired by Papers,Please and real science
Dunno if this is an alpha version, but personally I think the visuals are a mess. Papers, Please (since you cite it as element of comparison) was very charming from this point of view - as every grapahic element of the game fell within a precise style and was presented very cleanly.

Here we have stereotypical green light terminals, OCR Font mixed with Mission Impossible strikethrough font mixed with bitmap fonts mixed with serious fonts: cartoon portraits with flash-style-shaded body illustrations with real life pictures.

MegaLeon··on DevArt Art Made with Code
Ah, Google DevArt. I partecipated last year and my project got a weekly feature award from the judges (every week they'd pick a promising project for that) but sadly didn't make in the final selection.

For some reason my project was pulled from the website after the competition ended, I tried to contact them about it but with no success. The project is on github, for those curious: https://github.com/MegaLeon/devart-arsmatrix

MegaLeon··on Show HN: Create a mobile adventure game for your next date
Nice. Can you give us some details about how this was made?
