"never hand your phone over the counter" - do people actually hand over their phones to random strangers? I'd never do that unless I really know the person

I live in Romania. 90% of the buildings sport this brutalist look, not to mention there are rows after rows having the same design. You get bored and depressed very quickly if you live in such environment. I'm always amazed at the diversity of the facades when I visit other european cities.

At the company I work for we actually hard-delete all user/tenant data, when requested. The column you mention is used for soft-deletion, which is a transient state. Even when not explicitly requested by the customer, we still hard-delete soft-deleted data that has been stale for at least X months (6?). So yeah, some companies really delete customer data, by request or by policy.

You have a very submissive attitude. Do you do the same when a thug threatens your family? Or when bullies at school ask for your lunch? You just give it to them? Sorry, but your comment is pathetic.

so that tweet was right, eh? at the time of this writing, I'm seeing: California 274 Canada 137 Germany 127 UK 116 New York 110 Washington 104 ...

So yeah, "Silicon Valley".

Not all companies, maybe some. I've never worked for such a company, I've always been provided with decent/powerful desktops and laptops as extra (for meetings). Last two jobs I got powerful machines (Xeon/9900KF, 32/64GB RAM, SSD + HDD, 2 monitors, etc.)

The LED strips are replaceable (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003706329242.html?spm=a2...)

I had my TV (similar to yours) fixed by replacing those bars, check with a TV repair shop in your area.

Always ON. Off only for large meetings where I'm only listening.

I too am disappointed at the amount of "off" responses.

Most web development toolchains depend on Node.js, which compiles on a single core.

That's because USA is way behind in card payment infrastructure (technologically speaking).

Umm... I can't seem to find Romania. It would have been nice to mention "U.S. only"

In contact detail screen, there's an arrow in the bottom-right. It takes you to the standard (iOS) contact edit screen.

T9 is a text prediction technology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T9_(predictive_text)

Fliple is merely using a method to filter contacts using less keys, I used T9 just to explain the feeling to the people.

That's an interesting idea. I'll look into it.

I've used the term just to describe the UI in one word to the HN community. I haven't use the term in the app itself or any official description (landing page, App Store, etc.).

If the person doesn't have a picture assigned, there will be no animation, just the name (see this screenshot http://flipleapp.com/img/screenshots/AltLayout.png)

Thanks for the feedback. I see that this is an issue for some people (mixing contacts with groups in different accounts), I'll try to come up with a way of overcoming the limitation. The problem is described in a support article: https://fliple.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/182665-i...

This --^ :)

I've looked into it and at the moment I'm still in doubt about localizing in cyrillic/arabic/chinese/japanese. If I do it, it will have to be a complete implementation, along with T9 filtering, wich frankly scares me because of the vast amount of information I'll have to digest to make it work properly.

Thanks for the feedback. If you have any problems or suggestions you can post them to the UserVoice site I've set up: http://fliple.uservoice.com Some of the features I've implemented lately have been suggested by users.

Sorry about that, you should switch to "all accounts" in settings (see https://fliple.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/155508-i...). By default it only shows up contacts from the "default account" - lots of people were complaining about seeing duplicate contacts, when in fact they were seeing contacts from all their accounts and indeed they were duplicates.

Nope, it's a modified version of ExpandableNavigation from Tobin Schwaiger (http://tob.in/post/15654557154/how-does-path-2-0s-iphone-app...). Which reminds me I forgot to credit him :(, thanks for asking.

Sorry that it didn't work out for you. I'll put more work into solving this problem, I'll have to come up with a seamless method of merging groups or moving contacts from one account to another.

The problem is described in a support article, as you said: https://fliple.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/182665-i...
