There is also iAPS, the AAPS-version but for Apple Devices; also take a look at Trio.

But I like using Loop/LoopKit due its simple interface.

Yeah, thought so too.

At least adding some major timestamps in the description would be great.

tigerwashon Ask HN: How to blog things I've learnt in graduate school?

> Speak with your professors about that.

Or instead of linking to it, maybe you could recreate (instead of copying 1:1) the content (e.g. as a sketch in PowerPoint) and link/reference to your professors site/original source.

Nice demonstration of your skills, however I recommend you to change / renew you photo - smiling would make you far more attractive for future employers/recruiters.

tigerwashon Show HN: Minimal native MP3 player for Mac

Awesome! I really like the minimal interface.

After I switched from Windows to Mac about one year ago, I couldn't believe I had to abandone foobar2000 and IrfanView. After some try-outs I got a bit comfortable with iTunes to play my local music, esp. different display modes (song list, album overview) of what's currently played is well done.

Your player is a nice little program, I'm gonna keep it on my mac!

tigerwashon Ask HN: Is it 'normal' to struggle so hard with work?

+1 for Todoist.

It's awesome to structure tasks into more and more subtasks.

tigerwashon Ask HN: Is it 'normal' to struggle so hard with work?

Problem Slicing is the key; Kent Beck wrote an article about "Master Programming" and I'd like to take his advice whenever I encounter a problem in programming, but also in real life (e.g. coordinating tasks in work or private life): https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4n3s7c/kent_be...

> Slicing. Take a big project, cut it into thin slices, and rearrange the slices to suit your context. I can always slice projects finer and I can always find new permutations of the slices that meet different needs.
