You need to go through an exchange. Or if you use Mycelium on Android they have a service for finding local sellers.

Are you the one who called them out in the issue on C+= to which they responded with character attacks instead of a sensible argument? Thanks for doing that!

Title made me think Stallman did this. FSF = Free Software Foundation not these people. Are xhe and xhem even real words? They make absolutely no sense

thaweathermanon Show HN: Softcover – A publishing platform from the author of the Rails Tutorial

I love it! One comment I do have though is that the space alloted to the video on the page is quite large. Larger than the default zoom in Firefox at least. While it isn't a huge deal to not be able to see the whole picture and there is a full screen button, it might be helpful to some to make the video smaller on the page.

Do authors have the option of providing a book preview for free online rather than the entire thing? Or does that feature only allow for the entire book to be made free online?

thaweathermanon Ask HN: What are the best Linux-based laptops?

Both of these is just signing in with an account from some different site. We want to provide that option, but we want our own option as well for users who don't want to use social media to login

thaweathermanon Google Coder: a simple way to make web stuff on Raspberry Pi

So you can install other stuff on there right? If I want to use some cool framework can I? Or am I just restricted in what the browser IDE provides?

thaweathermanon Tox: secure messaging for everyone

Another app that is the same as good existing solutions and is an outgrowth of spying revelations. Easy secure messaging, calling, etc apps already exist and are freely available. Once Whisper Systems apps are out for iOS at the end of the summer the bases will be covered.

Not free though. Most people prefer free apps.

thaweathermanon Crowd steps up to fund 'NSA-proof' app

Time out on chatsecure is a draw back of iOS. It forces app to close after 10 minutes of inactivity. Very annoying.

I'm with moxie. There are already plenty of good encryption apps out there. That 100,000 could have gone to existing apps that do what they say they do rather than an app that might not turn out as promised.
