littke··on Launch HN: Chert (YC P26) – Twilio for iMessage
As much as I want to applaud your progress here, as a user I want transactional stuff to stay in my email inbox. My iMessage is already starting to become overwhelming from spam and apps — I want fewer messages not more.
littke··on Music for Programming
ah memories
littke··on Analysis indicates that the universe’s expansion is not accelerating
Masterpiece!!
littke··on Preventing app removal on iOS
You can still uninstall the app after you go to Settings > Screen Time and then remove permissions for the app.

Once you know, it’s easy to do.

Most people don’t know, so this probably does what the author is intending.

littke··on Do quests, not goals
Reminds me of Dream Mapping: https://www.squadformers.com/dream-mapping

It’s about replacing OKRs with stories and maps.

littke··on Using a self-rewriting README powered by GitHub Actions to track TILs
I recently started, come join me! https://todayilearned.co

littke··on Using a self-rewriting README powered by GitHub Actions to track TILs
I actually built a little webapp for this recently: https://todayilearned.co

For tracking and sharing of personal TILs

Also as an iOS app

littke··on I've been writing TILs for 5 years
I am actually building a site specifically for this use case:

https://todayilearned.co

It allows both private and shared insights, so people can learn together. Check it out

littke··on Lookback.io: capture feedback, user experiences, and bug reports
Thanks for links.

They're not sockpuppets btw — we asked people to upvote/comment if they liked the new release. Guess that was a mistake.

littke··on Confessions of a startup: all our numbers, insights, everything
A fairly standard SaaS model. We haven't decided exactly what yet.
littke··on Confessions of a startup: all our numbers, insights, everything
Good point, and you're right. Will consider it indeed! Thanks.
littke··on Confessions of a startup: all our numbers, insights, everything
Thank you. I'm on a jailbroken 7.0 (hrm), which doesn't support minimal-ui yet. We'll have a look.
littke··on Confessions of a startup: all our numbers, insights, everything
Interesting, OK. Did you see the 'Week' label next to the X-axis?
littke··on Confessions of a startup: all our numbers, insights, everything
Haha yeah, well. User account growth is indeed slowing and is down to 1% the last couple of weeks. I thought that was obvious from looking at the graph but I'll clarify it in the article. Recorded minutes are growingly steadily though and are still increasing with about 5% week over week.
littke··on Confessions of a startup: all our numbers, insights, everything
Wait what? :)
littke··on Confessions of a startup: all our numbers, insights, everything
Hehe, they're weeks man! It's a bad habit we use in Sweden to always refer to weeks by number: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?country=21

Meteor.com is using NodeJS as a backend, but the idea is to not separate these two components. So Meteor spans both and you can write stuff designated for the client and the server side in the same file. In practice we rarely do, but both sides run the same code. Check it out!
littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
Yes. It makes for a much more fluid experience (at least if you have JS ;)), similar to that of a desktop app. The web was originally built to be a set of individual pages but that's not how we want things to behave today. Building a UI with Meteor.com where the JS controls all the interaction, page switching, event handling and automatic data updates is sooo much simpler than requiring a full page refresh or using AJAX to modify individual components. If the DOM is built up by JS in the first place, it makes it very simple to change it by JS. Read more about Meteor's philosophy in the first paragraphs of their docs, here: http://docs.meteor.com/

The downside is that if you don't have JS, you can't do much. In our case it was a price we decided to pay.

It's built with Meteor.com and the Iron-Router project, specifically.
littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
Thank you.
littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
Well, that's interesting. I guess it's about "living at the forefront of human invention", right? But at the same time, only doing that obviously leads no where. I (the OP of the co-creation post) wrote a blog post called 'A life designed by intuition', describing the opposite of what your PM is doing: http://littke.com/2013/11/11/a-life-designed-by-intuition.ht...

As always, it's about a healthy balance :)

littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
Thank you.

I believe this system can be used today, even though there are people out there who may abuse it if you do. But I think we're already seeing the fruits of this behavior, especially in this space.
littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
Yes, I noticed this too (it's mentioned in the footnotes). That's not the concept refer to in the post though, and I was a little bit annoyed when I first found out about it after having drafted the majority of this article :)
littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
The site is powered entirely by MeteorJS. There's a no-script version generated by Phantom but I guess it's not made for viewing. Sorry about that.
littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
That's unintentional and doesn't happen for me. Can you elaborate on how to reproduce? :)
littke··on I am your co-creator, not your competitor
haha... yes. why don't you co-creatively suggest a fix? :D
littke··on CSS animated loading indicators
I would. Certainly prefer CSS stuff compared to GIFs for this kind of stuff.
littke··on Lookback.io - See how people really use your app
Of course we didn't buy the theme :) It's used by a lot of companies already. It's beta because it just launched.
