swanify··on First Impressions Using React Native
As someone who has developed many apps using Appcelerator Titanium, I am looking forward to getting my hands on this to see where the differences lie.

I know that it has taken Titanium years to mature, so I wonder if it will take a similar amount for React to iron out the bugs - I'll be surprised / pleased if they hit the ground running.

Hopefully they'll hurry up and make it public!

swanify··on We just interviewed at Y Combinator – here’s the full transcript
Woah, that site react's badly to that banner being placed on it.
swanify··on Show HN: Leadngin.com finally launched my startup after 18months of stealth.
Great to see this finally become public. I've been a huge supporter of Mark from the beginning of his journey.

You've got to give this a try, the quality & accuracy of the leads produced go above and beyond what you'd think possible.

swanify··on WebFlow
It looks like a modern day dreamweaver, or front page, no doubt a hell of a lot better! Will definitely need to give this a try.
swanify··on Send payouts with Stripe
Taking over this thread talking about your service is pretty awful - surely you can announce your features in your own right rather than riding on the back of Stripe's name?
swanify··on You should be a mentor
Great post!

I've started a number of businesses over the past 10 years, first of which was when i was 17, i've learned so much over this time, but had dismissed it as general knowledge.

Recently I took part in an accelerator here in the UK and one of the things I enjoyed most was offering advise to other teams, even just on simple things like Tax/Vat etc. I really didn't appreciate that much of the knowledge I've amassed over the past 10 years was valuable to people in the early stage of a new business.

I'm hoping to be invited back to that accelerator as a mentor this year, and I'd hope I can do this for other accelerators too as it's extremely rewarding, I'd almost say I find it more rewarding helping others than building my own startup!

swanify··on Show HN: Four months of indie game dev
It's really great to see the evolution of a game like this, i agree with other commenters that it would be great to see other game developers do this.
swanify··on The startups and services behind Close.io
Great post - i've been playing with your product and the integration of telephony is really smart, it's one of the areas salespeople spend a lot of time manually typing in calls into their CRM.
swanify··on Show HN: I built testelf - app testing service for your iOS app
Looks great, i run a mobile app agency and we are forever having issues due to developers not testing adequately, having some external company test would be really useful!
swanify··on Elusive Icons - 268 Sleek Vector Icons For Bootstrap
Great set of icons, you can never have too many icons!!
swanify··on Myspace sneaking into Google search results?
Yea very strange - why is MySpace highlighted as a keyword, something going on here!
swanify··on Stripe Button (beta)
Please bring this to the UK before i kill myself!
swanify··on Forms are a problem worth solving
Thanks, we actually integrate with Wufoo
swanify··on Ask HN: What currency is best for a UK startup to charge in?
Very good point hadn't thought about that! Thanks
swanify··on Inquire.ly - form to mini-CRM in seconds
We've now added a tour page, this shows the product in a much clearer way - http://inquire.ly/tour/
swanify··on Inquire.ly - form to mini-CRM in seconds
Thanks for the feedback I can see your point I'll get to work on getting something a little more visual to explain it.

And yes, it's very lightweight we already use it for bug tracking, beta signups, feedback and general contact. Other early beta customers are using it to manage job applications and competition entries.

Thanks, let us know if you have any feedback once you've taken it for a spin.

It does indeed, everyone loves Twitter Bootstrap! but don't be fooled, we're working on making things look much slicker for launch.

Well i don't think it's the product, it was the content, and in our case, all content is going to be about the product, so i think it's a non-issue in our case, these other url shortening sites are linking to content that could be deemed inappropriate in most countries...

Just noticed your addition regarding `vb.ly` and had a quick route around, it seems that they seized it due to it containing content that fell outside of Libyan Islamic/Sharia Law.

I don't think we'll have any issues with this as we're not linking off to any content we don't know about.

At the moment the vision is to avoid them going into Gmail, or other email clients/services at all, other than sending an email notifying you of a new inquiry...

We believe that managing them in Gmail is ok, but we've found it to be less than reliable, it's easy to un-star an important email and forget it never existed, or indeed miss an inquiry due to spam filters etc...

However i'd be interested in hearing why Gmail integration would be good for you?

i know, it's less than ideal, it was a case of getting it up and attracting interest, and whilst it's clearly not the best way of doing it, we wanted to invest the time in developing the product.. rest assured it's not going to stay that way!

For us it was really just a case of getting an interesting domain with a keyword around what we do, we're all about managing inquiries, and all the nice .com's are taken, it seems to work, and TLD's are becoming less related to countries as the fight for the nice .com's heats up...
