henrikberggren··on FDA clears first over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor
I've been wearing one for 6 years straight and wrote a post back in 2018 when I first got one. As someone who lives with Type 1 diabetes its been one of the absolute biggest game changers for my health

I also started a company focused on CGMs which was too early and didn't work. Maybe its time to try again? :)

henrikberggren··on Heat Pump Water Heaters
Heat pumps are really amazing and can be used both for cooling and heating with the same hardware. If it wasn't for natural gas they would make sense for many American homes

Approved!
henrikberggren··on Realtime blood sugar data from a wearable on my arm
Diabetes technology is becoming pretty cool :) I have a Dexcom G6 CGM on my arm that sends blood glucose measurements to my phone every 5 minutes. It then sends it to Dexcom's cloud service which I poll using an open source project called Nightscout which I have deployed on Heroku.
henrikberggren··on Sugar: Open-source software learning platform for children
Naming a learning platform "Sugar" is like naming a rehab clinic "Heroin"
henrikberggren··on People Are Clamoring to Buy Old Insulin Pumps
The big innovation here is actually the CGM sensor. Having a sensor on your body that passively gives you information about how your body reacts to food, exercise and medication is amazing. I wrote a post last year on how it TOTALLY changed my life: https://medium.com/south-park-commons/the-wearable-that-chan...
henrikberggren··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2019)
Steady Health | Software Engineer & Product Designer | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite Managing your diabetes well can be the difference between a long, healthy life and heart attack, cardiovascular disease, amputations, and blindness. Today, diabetes care is based on guidelines that are the same for everyone, regardless of motivation, lifestyle and other individual factors.

Steady Health (https://steady.health) is changing diabetes care by leveraging a new technology and dataset, continuous glucose monitors. These sensors let patients track their levels throughout the day without pricking their fingers with complex equipment. We’re building an entirely new clinic experience that use data analysis to help patients understand how diet, physical activity, and medication is impacting their blood sugar levels.

I’m an experienced founder who previously sold a company to Dropbox. My co-founder is an MD who specializes in internal medicine. I’ve also been diabetic for 18 years so between us we know both the patient, and care side, really well.

We're looking for passionate people with a low ego and a drive to learn. Our first clinic will be in San Francisco and we are currently building out our founding engineering and care teams. The company is backed by top funds and angels including former Dropbox CTO, FBs first female engineer and Head of Data Science at Airbnb.

henrikberggren··on Wicked Problems - Problems Worth Solving
Have you tried my app readmill to read books and share notes? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/readmill/id438032664?mt=8
henrikberggren··on Log in or sign up with GitHub (but not with Facebook)
I get what you mean and it's probably a fair assumption. But, the data you showed and the conclusion you draw "Won't be adding that FB button soon" is totally illogical. You have no idea how many ppl. that are coming to grove, want's to sign in but don't because they have neither a twitter or github account and/or don't want to sign up with it.

You need to add a FB signup button, test the increase (or non increase) of signups and then draw conclusions. Or measure bounce rates in some smart way. Your current method isn't very scientific.
