nc··on Facebook launches App Center
It's not a meme, people copy stuff that works.
nc··on Hackathon No More
Your doing it wrong. Get a night's rest and get back to it in the morning and you'll code better than everyone else who stayed up all night.
nc··on Introducing Facebook Camera
They started off with that approach, the app had a pseudo home screen with quick access to different functions.

Ultimately I think it boils down to what you think of when you want to do take a photo or send a message which maps to (Facebook Camera, Facebook Messenger) more naturally than just Facebook.

nc··on Instagram’s User Count Now At 40 Million, 10 Million New Users In 10 Days
So the filters aren't what really make it special, they just make it easier to take a cool photo on an otherwise limited camera. Most people are actually hooked once they get a few likes, from friends (or randoms if you hashtag your photos).
nc··on How to Hack the YC Application
Spend 2 weeks on your product/biz and a day on your application. It will be a lot stronger.
nc··on Proffer: Stop Action Controller Exposing Instance Variables to Views
Would like to see this functionality merged into Gon, https://github.com/gazay/gon. (and maybe Rails core someday).
nc··on Show HN: We made an awesome way to browse and search your Chrome bookmarks.
Hmm, what if we made it orange like the logo? would that fix it?
nc··on Show HN: We made an awesome way to browse and search your Chrome bookmarks.
Oh yes, good spot. Thanks for checking it out.
nc··on Show HN: We made an awesome way to browse and search your Chrome bookmarks.
Just turned that off :)

Kudos to Kerem Suer for releasing this awesome freebie those shots were based on http://dribbble.com/shots/395812-Chrome-freebie-PSD-
nc··on Show HN: We made an awesome way to browse and search your Chrome bookmarks.
Thanks! It's probably still indexing you're bookmarks, we're working on it.
nc··on Show HN: my weekend(s) project, instant websites
Unrelated, but which font are you using for the tagline "Beautifully Simple Websites" ?
nc··on Every Mobile Social App Site, Ever
I might have to steal that design for my next mobile app. Thanks!
nc··on Show HN: StyleBootstrap, create unique Bootstrap design live
I like this. A lot. It reminds me of Bret Victor's talk on being able to see what you're changing in a design live (http://vimeo.com/36579366).

The UI could use some work though, it's cluttered.

nc··on Path uploads your entire iPhone address book to its servers
I think this is Apple's problem really. Path is just one of many apps that probably do this without asking you.

Ideally the OS should prompt you if an app wants access to your address book, just like it does for location.

nc··on 25 Startup Ideas for 2012
There's also HouseBites in the UK.
nc··on Ask HN: Which SaaS products does your startup use on a daily basis?
At my last startup

GitHub, Pivotal tracker, Basecamp, Campfire, Campaign monitor, Send grid, NewRelic, Litmus

Good question, would love to see others chip in!

nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
We've added a NSFW filter (based on whether a reddit post title has the word NSFW in it). Should cut down a lot of those.
nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
Hmm, we should probably filter out NSFW links. Sorry about that one.
nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
Why thank you sir.
nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
We just added preloading for the next image, sometimes you hit one which takes a while - it's faster than before though!
nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
Thanks for the feedback!

We've pushed up a new version:

- preloads the next image, slightly faster than before.

- smarter ordering, the newest and best content is pushed in hourly.

- finally, a tweet button to spread the love.

nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
Noted! :)
nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
Thanks! Ruby & CoffeeScript / Rails 3 & Backbone.js. Hosted on Heroku.
nc··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
Definitely. We'll probably add a counter next to it to show the number of sets you've viewed (as suggested by franciscoapinto)
nc··on Ask HN: Is there a repository of failed startups (re-usable startups idea)?
It would be nice if there was a site built ontop of CrunchBase to document failures, reasons & any other insight.
nc··on Farewell to MIT
That's not the only reason either, if you can pay the cost back later & it's a field you're interested in it will broaden your horizons
nc··on GoDaddy has not withdrawn its official congressional support for SOPA
You're right. Though, look at it this way: this is a battle in the war against SOPA and a victory here does help get people who are standing at the bylines get motivated enough to take action.
