Back in high school this was one of my first introductions to assembly programming, compilers/linkers, and OS design. It sparked my interest in what an operating system could be and was small enough that someone could pick it up and learn about what made the system tick. I recently emailed Mike and thanked him for creating something that put me on the path to my PhD. He's a super cool guy and a true tinker-er at heart. Really great project.

Watch your posts on a dog-themed clone.

Is that Spencer Grammer narrating the video? The narrator's voice sounds incredibly familiar.

I initially balked at the high price of things but WOW I've never been so productive using it. And like the analog site says - it feels so good to cross something off.

I also use a similar process and its easy to backlog things that you know you just won't get to today. I recommend this app to all of my friends and +1 for the commenter above.

Having never played video games before, I tried Stadia for the Cyberpunk 2077 release. I liked the experience initially but long loading times, and unintuitive menu navigation slowly turned me off to the experience. I ended up playing less and less, and now my controller sits in a box in the closet. I'm not against stadia, as a newcomer to the gaming environment I like the idea that I don't have to keep buying and upgrading a console or PC parts to get the best experiences. What holds me back is the odd interface and the inability to share my gameplay with my actual gamer friends.

All that being said, I wish the best for the Stadia team. The article said several people left and the division now only takes up 20% of the team's time but I like the idea of cloud gaming and hope it continues to get better and live on as the backend of other big games as "Google Stream".

This reminds me of the Verizon One Home Phone[1] which didn't have many applications to justify it being smart but was smart for smart's sake. Breaking beyond that barrier and aligning a product, in a customer's mind, with a problem it solves is a key starting point (IMO) for someone who wants to justify the cost of a first adopter product.

I think it is interesting they branded the Simon as "the first personal digital assistant or PDA to include telephony features" rather than the telephone with PDA features. I think this is a key distinction in marketing that can go overlooked - everyone has a household telephone but a PDA was more of a niche product. Its easier to wrap your head around "I have one of these and it does more!" instead of the other way "I don't have a PDA so why would I need one that makes calls? I already have a phone!"

I see. Nice work!

Works for me! Cool project!

I really like the "Comparisons" page with brief info about the repos.

Does it crawl all of GitHub to find repos with similar names or only stick to the popular repos that were already indexed? Also how does it rank the alternatives that it finds? For example on https://www.libhunt.com/bitcoin/bitcoin , why is umbrel above dogecoin or bitcoin book?

Lift heavier, eat consistent macronutrients amounts, get proficient at italian (3rd time is the charm), cut down on YouTube and other time wasting sinkholes, sleep as close to 8 hours a night as possible.

First off, congrats on getting your idea out into a tangible product. Many people come up with ideas, even fewer take time, or have the skills, to try to actually build them, but you put in time and effort that made it to the end goal of putting it on the App Store. Not everyone makes it that far so congratulations on doing so.

I took a look because, as a current student, I often have to write research papers and tag ideas from multiple websites and sources. I think the cost is a little steep for Mac apps in general, let alone anything a student might want to trial. The question students are asking is "How much can I spend to improve my research paper skills?" $40 is comparable to a night out with friends or several meals and might turn off any potential customers.

Looking at the promotional screenshots for the application, I don't get a gist for what the application is or does. The actual images of the application are smaller than the text describing what is in the application. It's also not clear from those descriptions what the benefits of the application are. I'm not sure what a "structured workflow" is but maybe giving a juxtaposition between the traditional way a student might try to organize a paper and Epiphany's way might help students visualize how they could use the application themselves.

Lastly, the website[1] needs more examples and demonstrations of the application in action. I still can't tell what I would gain from spending $40 on a Mac app. To use an example, none of my friends are willing to buy the Things app[2] at $9 on iOS or $49 because they can get other apps that do the same thing for free. It's a price comparison game and there needs to be more discussion around what can be gained with this app over a competitor.

I hope this helps and I wish you well with your application.
