Care to share the Swift port?

Happy new years!

I didn’t even know you could favorite…

A lot of little projects like this that end up going bust because of the cost of running the business.

Still cool that projects like this are launched.

Will this approach work with image generation models?

Why does this look like it’s from the 80’s still?

Article sounds like an excuse for billing a client $2500 per day.

Same for me.

I like reading the top stories by points on Hacker News, not necessarily the front page. So I made this app:

Sounds awesome. I'm an iOS developer and hoping to go the same route. Where are you based out of?

Good luck! This seems awesome.

This is a very educated estimate. Let's hope it rains less than 2 inches per day.

Will Feature #5 be available through the Firebase API?

Yeah - it is. It's really an inside joke. It abbreviates to HN. And Helvetica Neue is the default font of iOS and OS X.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

Damn.

vike22 Awesome! Keep it up!

It's the default font on all Apple products and abbreviates to HN. My favorite variant is Ultra Light condensed. Unfortunately, a lot of people have problems reading such a light and tight typeface. Thus, I made an effort to use dynamic fonts in as many places as possible so that the font is the same size and weight as you would see in first party Apple apps.

As soon as they move to Cocoapods, I'll remove the git submodules.

Since Firebase 2.0, network activity has improved dramatically. Also, I cache any favicons. The only problem right now is battery life because of the always on WebSocket. I'm going to add functionality to turn off auto updates soon.

I thought I'd post this now that I'm using this as my de-facto way to read HN. How annoying is it when the front page is clogged with "We're going to Mars in 15 years" and "Gangnam Style broke YouTube" stories. I read them, but I don't want to see them after that.

Comments and enhanced animations are up next.

Actually, I have had an iOS app using the client out for about 3 weeks. It was meant to be a tutorial on how to use Couchbase Lite to consume APIs. However, it's going through a complete rewrite to make it full featured. I use it to consume Hacker News. I have a version that allows me to sort and hide stories I've already read that is waiting for approval.

I (briefly) took tax law in college. In the US, if you are a professional and you offer your services for free, there could be a tax liability past a certain amount of time. I always thought this had interesting complications for time banks. Anybody look into this?

A-men.

I am passionate about location based apps and the quantified self movement. I am looking to join a team which takes mobile seriously.

I got started by programming a prototype for an ambient location platform. As a result, I am fluent with CoreLocation, CoreBluetooth (iBeacons) and MapKit. However, I am now fluent in general Mac and iOS programming. Recently, I picked up Rails, Backbone and D3.

Seriously. People hate bankers because bankers are ignorant to their own behavior.

I think that's because Cloudant's solution is the same replication protocol (CouchDB) talking to it's hosted databases. Thank's for pointing this out, I didn't know about.

Seriously love this product. What the Realm guys are missing is the fact that Couchbase Lite is really a replication protocol overlayed SQLite. Couchbase Lite did not always use SQLite and is in the process of switching to ForestDB as the underlying persistent store. As far as API's go, I have not seen a more intuitive design than CBL's. It almost makes too much sense. Once you get Sync Gateway setup, you have a mini iCloud. Watch the CloudKit presentations and you'll see that CBLite solves what Apple is leaving up to developers as far as Sync goes.

Actually, this was discussed at the last session of Alt Conf. WebObjects is "Server Side Swift." (SSS) If you look at EVERYONE that presented during the keynote, they all had a hand in developing WebObjects. I think this would be the Apple play:

* A lot of App developers develop iOS first as it is (Think Instagram). * The entire toolchain is provided by Apple. From IDE to digital distribution. * However, they have to go outside of the Apple ecosystem for Servers. * What if Apple could provide - along with distribution a server side EC2 style service. * Then, developers could use Swift in the cloud and their apps.

Here is the kicker: * Now developers can develop Web Apps to push to Android and Windows phone devices with a completely Apple toolchain.
