irunbackwards··on California’s Monarch Butterfly Population Hits Record Low
Super sad, it's not even something that requires measuring to see. I visited the Monarch sanctuary in Santa Cruz in 2017 and there were thousands of butterflies easily visible. In 2018 it was so hard to spot even groups of tens.

I thought this was like a for sure thing already.
irunbackwards··on Tell HN: Will design for food
Super cool! You should blog about your experience(s), at least the non-NDA ones!
irunbackwards··on Show HN: Pulse – Develop the Future of Energy Services
Only PGE right now? Are you implementing Green Button Connect? How are you getting past the requirement for users to fill out CISR forms to allow 3rd party to manage data?
irunbackwards··on Show HN: Magic Keyboard
But what about DVORAK!?
irunbackwards··on Show HN: Traceur, automatically track packages found in Gmail
I used Deliveries and built this because I was tired of manually adding tracking codes to their app. Agreed, it's not for every one but it solved a problem for me.
irunbackwards··on Show HN: Materia – A modern dev environment to build mobile and web applications
What's funny is Omnihash was right below this post when I first clicked on it. So much nostalgia.

I don't understand, aren't there tons of companies doing bluetooth/wireless earbuds right now?
irunbackwards··on Show HN: Traceur, my weekend project to auto-track shipments found in Gmail
Basically, Traceur requests access to a Gmail account via OAuth and scans hourly for any valid FedEx, UPS or USPS tracking numbers. If it finds some, it adds it to the database and periodically checks for status updates. I plan on charging $1.99 per month for this product as it seems very useful for general consumers (I started building this because I wanted it for myself) and also people who order a lot of things for their business. (Artists, repair, office managers, etc.) If you want to try it out, each account comes with a 7 day trial period. I have a couple 1 month free codes I'm willing to hand out for people who are willing to give me some constructive feedback.

Next features I'm working on are notifications (via Pushbullet) and then hacking out the mobile applications.

Of course we did. We've been behind almost every coup of any truly democratic (we Americans like to call this communism) society in the last century.

Anyone interested in the app can still build it from their repo.

irunbackwards··on "BitHack" Hackathon by Coinbase
I think it's to encourage adoption of their API offerings. However, there's nothing stopping a developer from abstracting their payment method so that they can implement a BitPay or bitcoind integration later.
irunbackwards··on Gmail was down
It's not working for me either, and there are widespread reports on Twitter of the same experience. Funny thing is, the App Status Dashboard shows green for me.
irunbackwards··on Verizon’s $20 iPhone Plan
Neat write-up, but I feel the primary usage of a smartphone is for when you're NOT connected to WiFi. I can use Google Voice / Hangouts to make calls from my laptop. Do you carry a hotspot or anything for on-the-go use?
