#2 and #3 are only effective if you're Dan Cederholm. He already had a reputation which put him in a very luxurious position to essentially choose his first users and have them actually use it. The same goes for #3 – imagine if all of the "people you want on your platform" got tshirts and postcards from every startup that wanted them?
> The biggest pain in running your own OSM geocoder (nominatim) is kind of a bear to set up.
You said it shouldn't be scary then immediately call it a bear. I am scared of bears.
I'm not sure that's true (see: Sparrow). I just don't think there is enough demand for people to want to pay for an email client. I imagine for a huge majority of people, default mail client's work fine enough for personal use.
We're looking for iOS and backend (Golang) engineers. You can read more here: http://timehop.com/joinus
We've got millions of daily active users who love using and opening the every single day.
For iOS, we use a MVVM architecture for our app and use ReactiveCocoa in a bunch of it.
On the backend side, we written a ton of Golang using DynamoDB to access and play around with our > 160 TB of data.
Timehop is building the place online to connect with friends around the past. Whereas Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram focus on the real time, Timehop focuses on anniversaries and bringing meaning and relevancy to old content. We have millions of users opening the app every day and signing up a user ~every second.

It is this kind of "not my fault" attitude that slows down progress in gender equality.

They're a major technological powerhouse, to the point where they offer their own AWS equivalent: http://www.aliyun.com/

We write a ton of Golang and Ruby to support our recent amazing growth (see: http://j.mp/TimehopGrowthGraph - thats 6.5x since March!).

We recently became consistently a top 25 US iPhone app, making us the fastest growing app in NYC!
We also just raised $10mm (http://j.mp/TimehopTCSeriesB)

iOS Engineer - We're looking for an awesome iOS engineer who knows the ins, outs, and annoyances of the iOS platform. We're a venture backed startup (Spark + OATV) that is making reminiscing online fun by taking your digital exhaust (ditial photos, tweets, checkins, etc) and showing you the most interesting things you've done on this day in history.
In an age where we're creating more digital data than ever before, we're trying to take the 90% of stuff that isn't real time and searching for the important signals and making it useful again.
Our stack is mostly Rails with PG (and decommissioning Mongo). As of late, we're adding more and more Go into our stack. As part of the iOS team, you'd be contributing to the iOS efforts on all fronts: making major decisions about how the codebase progresses (libraries, code conventions, etc), major part in hiring, etc. Since we're a small startup, you'd also have a huge amount of input into the product.
We're also looking for junior iOS folks as well!
We've raised $4mm thus far and have got a bunch still in the bank :)
Shoot me and email, I'd love to hear from you! benny@timehop.com (tech cofounder)

- after signing in/up, there is no link on any page that actually links you to your portfolio.
- The welcome page is a waste of space right now. It only has a link to give you feedback, while providing the user no useful information.
- If you're making me sign in with github, the projects section shouldn't be empty. It should pull from my github
- Under Theme, I understand it's probably more work than it's worth right now to preview the themes for a weekend project - but the link out to bootswatch should at least go to the preview so I know what I'm choosing: http://bootswatch.com/#gallery
As a hardware noob, the promise of the arduino has been that you can build anything(!) with it - which is also the downside. I've always felt like the setup to get pieces of hardware battery powered and communicating with each other was much higher of a hurdle than it should have been and mostly lost interest before getting to build what I actually wanted. Plus, an arduino board + wifi shield + whatever else makes it super bulky.
This feels like an arduino with smart defaults - like a Rails for hardware.
Indeed, an RSS feed would be cool. In the queue ;)
The reverse is solved by Instapaper or ReadItLater. This is the reverse of those apps :)
