iqonik··on What's the best way to get testers for a new iOS app?
You could give http://www.usertesting.com/ a try. I have used it for web apps and been very happy.
iqonik··on Show HN: Translate Any Website with One Line of Code
Does this help with SEO at all? Can Google index the different languages?

iqonik··on Show HN: Support greek startups in this crisis
Whilst I agree with the sentiment, it is probably best to address NumberCruncher's views directly rather than an entire nation.
iqonik··on Ask HN: Is passpack inaccessible for you too?
Working for me now.
iqonik··on Ask HN: Is passpack inaccessible for you too?
Ah thanks! Good to know it isn't just me. I did check their Twitter acc. but didn't think to search for some reason.
iqonik··on Ask HN: How do you go from being an average software developer to a great one?
Work with people smarter than you. If you're the smartest, move on. The people to the side of me are a better resource than Stack Overflow etc. put together and I owe a great deal to them.
iqonik··on Show HN: Bear CMS – A new, much better way to build websites
Your pricing is far too confusing. Keep it simple and charge more with clear packages - charge me for telephone support or priority email if you have to.
iqonik··on Show HN: TOP.ST – Get the news before it starts trending
A POST request to https://top.st/top/1/GB is good enough for my needs. Can you email me commercials if you would allow me to do so (email in my profile).

I would use and pay for API access too.
iqonik··on Ask HN: When to tell potential employers me and my wife are expecting a baby?
I'm not sure what you do as I believe your profile is temporary just for this post. But the company I work with is hiring Perl devs and Dev Ops. We're based in Canary Wharf, if you're interested email me (available in my profile).

I know we'd embrace the fact you're starting a family :)

iqonik··on Ask HN: When to tell potential employers me and my wife are expecting a baby?
I think you're setting a precedence that it is you vs company. If you're upfront and they work around this or even embrace it, you know they are a good company to work with.
iqonik··on Ask HN: When to tell potential employers me and my wife are expecting a baby?
I agree with this, I have a 7 month old daughter and I am literally running on empty. I pick up colds a lot more often now, but, seeing her smile makes everything worth while. Be upfront about it, you'll want to work for a company that sends you a card with Mothercare vouchers when the time comes, not a company that makes you feel bad for wanting to support your family.

To the OP, your username is interesting given the context!

iqonik··on Show HN: JobHero – Organize and optimize your job search
Side note: Who made the "superheroes" on your homepage? I need something similar and would like to get in touch with them.
iqonik··on Show HN: JobHero – Organize and optimize your job search
Congratulations on making a beautiful website that clearly shows what it does, makes me want to sign up and use a simple, clean interface. Seriously, this is a breath of fresh air and credit to you. Great idea too, will certainly give it a try.
iqonik··on Show HN: INeedAResume – Modern free resume generator
.doc is a must but only because of the technology being used. CV Parsing / Previewing is a lot more mature of .doc format.
iqonik··on Forget the ‘To-Do’ List, You Need a ‘Stop Doing’ List
I'd also be in a nicer place but hopefully minus the pants. That is the dream.
iqonik··on Show HN: One-click button to mark all links on the page as read
Very cool! Also very useful when job searching.
iqonik··on Nomad SMS – Receive a local SMS anywhere in the world
If you change providers, don't change the price. It seems people are willing to pay the current rate and if anything I would experiment with charging more whilst getting your costs down!
iqonik··on Show HN: NotLooking.io - Keep recruiters at bay. Until you need them.
I hope they grant you access as it looks like a really cool idea and it would be a shame for your time to have been wasted.

Does the change to LinkedIn's API affect this service?
iqonik··on Show HN: 7000 skill-keywords scraped from Linkedin
I'm more interested in how you scraped them, is that something you would share?
iqonik··on Show HN: API for generating invoices on the fly
This is awesome, for some of my clients we send invoices monthly (most are paid online) - I'm going to use this to send as an invoice attached to our Accounts Dept. to save them having to do it everytime.
iqonik··on Show HN: Onboarded – User Onboarding as a Service
Not loading for me :( - guess you've been HN'd?

Just purchased :-)

I have a 4 month old daughter and paid for a white noise app to help her sleep / calm down. This is a perfect replacement with better design etc.

I urge you to make an app marketed towards parents - I would pay for it.

iqonik··on Ask HN: What do I use in place of Microsoft Clip Art now that it is dead?
Perhaps you should talk to/partner with patio11, sounds like a great product and relevant to the same market as Bingo Card Creator!
iqonik··on Has someone copied your app idea + design? (Like totally copied)
Could you register it as a trademark and then issue take down notices?
