jam3sn··on Show HN: IMDb SQL Best Movie Finder
Not heard of OMDB before, thanks, will give it a go
jam3sn··on Show HN: IMDb SQL Best Movie Finder
The Movie Database (TMDB) is a good resource for this. Likewise, TVMaze offers some details / media missing from TMDB for TV shows.

This looks great and covers a lot of interesting areas.
jam3sn··on Physical buttons outperform touchscreens in new cars, test finds
I miss the buttons and dials from my old car. Muscle memory meant I could just turn on air con, change the fan speed, zone, volume etc with taking eyes off the road. Having to do this with the touch screen is bit of a pain in my new(er) car.

I have, but the fact the heatsink didn't event mount properly is kind of annoying... I agree, they know what they're doing, but I also wish they'd have designed better cooling.

Can't have that MBA beating the base spec MBP... -_-
jam3sn··on Show HN: Enkel – A clean and simple RSS Reader
I do need to add this button, I just had other areas of the app that took my attention. In the meantime, drop me an email james@enkel.fyi or use the support form on the site and I'll get your account removed :)
jam3sn··on Show HN: Enkel – A clean and simple RSS Reader
You're not the first person to ask this today, so I defiantly need to clarify this! But yes, a web app, I've added the mobile meta too so you can add it to the app drawer of your mobile device if you so wish :)
jam3sn··on Show HN: Enkel – A clean and simple RSS Reader
It sure does! I find naming stuff hard and can't remember exactly how I decided on Enkel, but it meaning 'Simple' in Norwegian was a big part.

Good call! I'll defiantly think about implementing this!
jam3sn··on Show HN: Enkel – A clean and simple RSS Reader
So I created Enkel originally to fulfil my own desire for a clean and simple way to consume news. Having tried a few platforms, I found them to be cluttered and distracting. Further more, some placed ads among feeds and offered no methods of reading the article without visiting the source site and being bombarded with ads, popups, video etc. The free tiers were rather limited, bugged you to upgrade and have fallen into the current trend monitizing user data.

The intial offering of Enkel is somewhat less than other competitors, which is why it comes at a significantly lower price. However it's in continous development with new features being implemented regularly.

Enkel isn't the right tool for everyone, and that's okay. It's intedned for those who want a clean and simple way to consume written media regularly without distraction.

jam3sn··on Show HN: Enkel – The clean and simple RSS reader
Enkel is a clean and simple RSS reader. If you like me, you probably have multiple news apps or sick go being bombarded with images and popups. I aim to simplify the way you aggregate and check your news.

Inspired by the minimal movement and the challenge of building a black & white UI, I want the user to be able to focus on the content.

Using Laravel Spark right?
jam3sn··on Ask HN: What is your “Just got home from work” typical routine?
I try to make dinner as soon as I get in, it's done then and I can spend the rest of my night doing whatever.
jam3sn··on Ask HN: What is needed in startup world?
From my perspective, a strong and honest leader that learns from their mistakes, listens and considers advice, but importantly can stay on top of the finances. Basically the opposite of my last boss.
jam3sn··on Ask HN: Would you switch to Win 10 from OS X on a MacBook Pro?
Why Debian over the likes of Ubuntu or Fedora, if you don't mind me asking?
