imakesofton Show HN: Jovrney.com – Get travel inspiration by discovering new countries

Jovrney.com is my personal project and I wanted to get some feedback. What do you think about the current version and what would make it more engaging or interesting?

I already have a lot of ideas how to improve the service but my main talent is in design, not in development, so the work progresses very slowly.

If someone wants to offer help I would be more than glad to accept it. :)

imakesofton Show HN: Read Hacker News Like Pinterest – Built with Vuejs

Sweet! I just think it's too hectic. It refreshes the view too often and I lose my focus.

imakesofton Show HN: Select Star from Movies

Very interesting. I'm trying to think about real life applications for this. Where do you get the data? Are you thinking of making it as a public API? :)

imakesofton Fewer than 3% of cars sold in the U.S. have manual transmissions

I just love it how Americans are so proud if they can "drive a stick". :D Anyway I have a Toyota Auris Hybrid and it's pretty awesome. It's really pleasant to drive. I guess I'm lucky to be able to drive both: automatic & manual because at least in Europe the automatic prices are way higher in rental cars.

imakesofton Show HN: Ridiculously over-engineered my blog

FYI: Your blog looks... different than other blogs. Which is a good thing. :)

imakesofton Ask HN: Do you use widgets on Android?

Who's bookmark widget are you using?

imakesofton Ask HN: Do you use widgets on Android?

Is it important that the widget looks nice?

imakesofton The Estonian president wants a more digitally-integrated Europe

But the biggest problem is that iTunes itself is badly developed? Apple way is that each user has a Macbook which has an iTunes to which user can sync her/his iPhone. Syncing many mobile devices into one machine with one iTunes gets messy.

imakesofton How Not to Explain Success

I could write a book "How NOT to be successful" and maybe in some reverse way people could benefit what NOT to do. :)

imakesofton Android Instant Apps: Android apps to run instantly without installation

This is so strange that I have hard time understanding it. :) Sounds like a potential security issues to me.

imakesofton Airbnb: Building a Visual Language, Behind the scenes of our new design system

Awesome! I'm a big fan of design languages and systems. Mobile & web designers have had too much freedom during the past years. Some streamlining and standards will only do good for the scene.

imakesofton Programmers are not different, they need simple UIs

This article reminds me as a designer how Hacker News (and Reddit) could use a face lift. I have a hard time reading the small text and identify in the listings that what's a link and what's not. :/

imakesofton Show HN: I couldn't figure out what an Emoji meant, so I made WhatMoji.com

I like it. It's simple & elegant and does exactly what it promises to do. :)

imakesofton Is Facebook eavesdropping on phone conversations?

I agree that the nature of the article is bad but still I would not be surprised to hear that Facebook is listening to phone conversations. That's why I don't use it. :P

imakesofton Show HN: Ceilfire.com – Online HTML5 Game Maker

Hey wow, this is pretty impressive. Good job! :)

imakesofton Show HN: Discover random sites that are delightful, exiting, funny and surprising

http://boogiemarks.net

Some of you might remember that I show cased this site here around 2 months ago. Back then it was purely about bookmarks but thanks to our active users the service can now move to a next level.

New Boogiemarks is not just about bookmarks but also about discovering cool & useful sites. You can still save sites for your personal use or collaborate and delight others with your findings.

imakesofton Ask HN: Anyone looking for a cofounder?

I'm a UI/UX designer with a "strong" technical background. I could team up with an excellent developer who needs help with design. ;)

What exactly is the lucrative website he created? :)

imakesofton Results of Pair Programming Experiment

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I would like to see something similar relating to design e.g. Pair designing vs. Solo designing. :)

imakesofton Boogiemarks.net is a free online service with modern way of saving bookmarks

Thanks for this. I still think that Boogiemarks is different. I try to really focus on UX and simplicity.

imakesofton Boogiemarks.net is a free online service with modern way of saving bookmarks

Thanks for your feedback. This is a MVP and I have lots of things in my roadmap that I would like to do. My main expertise is in design, so I've not yet been able to do all the things I've wanted.

I quickly checked your service. Looks interesting. Maybe we should collaborate and not compete with each other? :)

imakesofton Boogiemarks.net is a free online service with modern way of saving bookmarks

Thanks for your feedback. Idea of the service is to easily save links for later use. There is some hidden tags automatically created when saving a link. ;)

You cannot comment a link but you can edit the title or add tags. I use "note" tag for links that I need to check later. It reminds todos 'cos after I've checked the link I remove it.

The date saved is shown when editing a link. The architecture is quite flat and everyone needs to find what works for them. I hope you could register and test the service yourself. :)
