iwonagr··on Show HN: Chef's Hat for iOS
Great idea. I save the recipes in bookmarks and it's a mess.
iwonagr··on Show HN: Turn any image into a collage of emojis
I tried copying the emojis and sending via iMessage. Didn't work :( didn't work on FB either. How do you use it?
iwonagr··on Show HN: Turn any image into a collage of emojis
hahaha :) cool stuff! Feedback: smaller emojis would be a bit better. Would it make sense to add 'download' jpg after conversion?

Nice job!

That's why I love the expression "value of information". Learn learn learn! It will save you money.
iwonagr··on Ask HN: Am I the only one who finds HN's interface user unfriendly?
Hi Dang! Thanks a lot for your insight. Well, in the application guidelines for YC there is a passage saying that if the reviewer "knows" you from HN he/she may give your application a little more consideration.

I don't give up on anything before I understand the concept. Only after I know how something works do I decide to use it or not.

Many things interest me so I think I'll stick around. Moreover, those conversations are great. I love exchanging opinions and HN seems to be the place where 'great minds discuss ideas'.

Thanks for the links!

There is a FAQ section at the bottom that has a lot of information. Don't worry though- I didn't see it either. It takes a little time to figure out how this all works here :) Thanks to Colin I have a better vision.

Building.

Well, I am wondering what HN "is for". People talk about it. People say it's good to use but I couldn't see it myself. I would love to engage but in a way that is beneficial for the community and myself as I mentioned. I am playing a devil's advocate a little in order to learn.

It's not that I am criticizing. I am just trying to better understand.

Thanks!

Hey Colin,

It still does not answer my question "Why" although I have just realized that HN is someone else's idea and they structured it they way they wanted, not the way "I" would like it to be.

If someone finds it beneficial, then fine. The only thing I am concerned is that if I wanted to apply to YC I'd need be active here. And if that is what motivates users to post here then they'd post just anything to get noticed. Anything is not good. Good quality information is good. As a startup founder I value time more than anything hence I'd rather spend time working on my product than on trying to get noticed on HN or brush through so many articles (of different value). But it's just me. Maybe I am wrong....

iwonagr··on Ask HN: Am I the only one who finds HN's interface user unfriendly?
business, entrepreneurship, startups, technology and solutions for startups (I am not a tech person so I have to educate myself on new trends and how it all works to better understand my team), self-development (in terms of entering the tech & startup community), branding & marketing, networking & relationship building.

These would be the categories I'd come to HN for. And I just clicked on a topic and was redirected to National Geographic.

I am a marathoner so my other interests include anything related to running, training, etc. but for those I go to e.g. RunnersWorld... so for my brain it's a little bit confusing why on something that's called HACKER news one would post things about...nature (inspiration?- "Let's build an app that would prevent animal poaching"?)

Oh and one more...how do I ask an HN question in the 'ask' section?
iwonagr··on A Startup Just Got $30M to Shake Up the Garbage Industry
There is another start-up that tries to tackle the topic of Garbage Management based on data. It's really cool how they are trying to set up a system for smart garbage collection. I saw them present at Slush14 Conference last November in Helsinki. http://www.enevo.com/
iwonagr··on Show HN: Facebook Page Unliker
Sounds like a very useful app. At least for those "liking hyperactive" FB users who have grown up and now are using FB to build their brand through the platform. Nice job guys!
iwonagr··on Where to find a co-founder?
Hi,

I have found my cofounders at cofounderslab.com . I just contacted them and then we met in person to discuss the idea. You don't need to go to their meetups. You just need to connect.

Good luck to you!
