jenjenhar··on Introducing airbrb
April fools aside, over congestion and under utilized property is a problem where I'm originally from (Hong Kong) where the average citizen couldn't ever dream of owning property.

There are all sorts of businesses popping up that lets you rent your apartment out during the day, whilst you're at work etc... Obviously, they'll need to overcome security and user experience issues, but people are making headway in this area.

But, Don't you agree?

jenjenhar··on Ask HN: What are the chances of raising a seed round?
Could you give us a bit more details on your background?

I would say Drew Houston (founder of dropbox) was an ambitous hacker out of college and get some seed money to work on his start up idea!

Regardless, all the best :)

jenjenhar··on Show HN: Responsive web app in JavaScript on HTML5stac
Looks great and all, but why I would use HTML5stac rather than just backbone+bootstrap which would provide more control.

Is there a particularly nice layer of abstraction that HTML5stac provides?
