coffeebroon Are there any good tools for non-technical people to build a mobile-app?

I meant any good "app-builders" out there. I found a bunch of products that are for social profiles or content (like dwnld.me) but nothing that is more integrated with unique mobile functionalities.

coffeebroon How Big is Space?

I'm surprised we didn't see any ads floating through space as we aimlessly scrolled down.

coffeebroon Ask HN: Someone stole my iOS app, what can I do?

Sorry to hear that. If you have any time-stamped material in a repository or on ITunes Connect, put up a blog post with what happened. Launch your app as soon as possible. I don't think there is anything tangible you can do unless you think there was some foul legal play.

coffeebroon Student Language Exchange

Disclaimer: This is not my venture. I found it randomly on IndieGogo. 38 hours left in the campaign.

"At the Student Language Exchange, we harness an underutilized resource on college campuses— the knowledge, experience and social reach of international students, particularly those from countries underrepresented in college curricula— to introduce groups of peers to their language and culture. By mobilizing students to run semester-long language and culture courses, we fill gaps in curricula and prepare students to build collaborative solutions to the world’s most pressing social, economic, political and environmental challenges."

coffeebroon Twitter, but without code

I got a good laugh out of this- definitely very creative and a good idea. I'd just be careful about the whole "please don't sue us" line. Companies like Twitter take these things very seriously.

coffeebroon Welcome Luke and Rick

Luke is brilliant. Critical addition to the YC team as they expand to fund more hardware projects.

coffeebroon Get a prediction of how other people perceive your face

The first thing I thought when it didn't load was "maybe this is a study to see how persistent people are to find out if they are attractive?" It's probably just the HN effect though.

coffeebroon [dead]

I built Notion as a little side-project. Just launched it a few days ago. The app is divided into various controversial social issues.

I have set up a backend that allows me to create/delete new topics within the app. If there is a demand for it, I might open-source the project to let anyone build their own anonymous app for any topic. "Anonymous app for sports" "Anonymous app for high school students" etc. Thoughts?

coffeebroon How I taught my dog to text me selfies

Awesome stuff. Now, how do we train dogs to bring us beer :)
