danest··on Show HN: AI Executive Coaching
I tried to work with a very popular coach here in NYC, but he wasn’t available, so this looks like a good option. I’m curious if there are plans for different coach ‘personalities’ that you can choose from if you’re looking for a specific type of coach to work with
danest··on Show HN: I made a search engine for emails and newsletters

I am currently using AWS S3 to host the images, and I noticed that the images are very big.

danest··on Review my startup - RecipeTonite
These are from really good suggestions. You brought up some points that we didn't consider. In the future, we planned to post recipes along with blog posts and tips.

The difficulty level is also a great idea. I think giving them a choice of meals/difficulties is good, we also want to add the option like "surprise me" for people to discover new things. What do you think about that?

danest··on Show HN: Made a FB Application to find new programming books.
Yea since the recent switch to https, you have to convert apps to show on the https but since I am hosting it on heroku for free I dont have the https.

But if you click switch to http you can see my app and you will see the permissions I ask. I only ask for basic information.

The applications that go 'viral' are the ones that usually ask for permission to post on your facebook feed and these are the ones that usually post things even when you dont want them too.

danest··on Best Way To Learn iPhone Programming
I suggest looking at Apples getting started guide for the very basics of Objective-C.

I have also used CS-193P Stanford classes. These might be better if you are a visual learner.

Another great resource has been this Design and Code website.
