this is exactly what Steve Jobs did after coming back from Next. Simplifying is very useful, especially in a big corp that want to be differentiated

woogleon De-Brainrot Vacations

Leaving the phone charging out of the bedroom (or unreachable without getting up) during night and having a kindle in bed did the 80% Pareto De-Brainroting me every day and changed my life

woogleon Fusuma – Make slides with MarkDown easily

Nice questions!

I use DeckSet since a lot of years, I find it easy to use and I love the result. I don’t care about multi platform because I’m doing my presentation on a Mac. I don’t care paying fair prices to software.

The only downside I found was the lack of customization offered.

I’ll look into the GitHub list, especially to the 2 others macOS apps

woogleon Fusuma – Make slides with MarkDown easily

On macOS, I strongly recommend DeckSet[0]. It's a Keynote/Powerpoint from Markdown, especially valuable when you embed code in your presentations.

woogleon Start with a Website, Not a Mobile App

While I agree on your point, your comment made me smile as I’m reading HN using a mobile app

woogleon Ask HN: Moved from Windows to Macbook Pro – How can I get up to speed quickly?

Yes. For those you often switch (eg Atom > Chrome > Atom). O(1) access FTW.

I use Spotlight for app I launch but don't really switch Mostly CSGO, Heroes of The Storm, Mumble and TS (Games!)

Actually I use shortcut a lot more for switching than for launching. For instance I launch atom from iTerm. A standard flow could be code, test, terminal commit, chat on Slack/IRSSI, IDE.

woogleon Ask HN: Moved from Windows to Macbook Pro – How can I get up to speed quickly?

If you like speed as much as I do :

1. Total Space. Setup shortcuts and disable transitions

2. Disable (or speed up) OSX animation (I don't have the commands on my phone, just Google it)

3. iTerm and window splitting (Cmd d) and switch (Cmd [ or ])

4. And The REAL time saver : Keyboard Maestro Create at least one macro per app. I assigned shortcuts like

Cmd Shift L - iTerm

Cmd Shift / - Atom

Cmd Shift ' - Chrome

Ctrl Shift < - Finder

Ctrl Shift M - Mailbox

And so (Xcode, Slack etc.)

Then I pur each app in fullscreen (Ctrl Cmd F).

Now I have O(1) access over my computer \o/

Edit: disclaimer I'm a vim user

woogleon HockeyApp Joins Microsoft

My comment would apply to any acquisition. If I'd use an analytics tool for Facebook acquired by Twitter, I'll take 10 minutes to think about it.

I'm not anti-MS. I was one of the first to make Windows Phone apps. I like a lot Nadela, but do you know how many time will he stay MS CEO?

As I said, MS is not only interested in Windows Phone but win a lot of money with Android.

We probably continue to use HockeyApp but I'm not fan of the "don't ask questions that may hurt" bashing here.

woogleon HockeyApp Joins Microsoft

I agree with that, but things may be different in 2 years. And MS is also the company that gains the most money with each Android phone sold.

woogleon HockeyApp Joins Microsoft

Why downvotes? I'm only asking questions. Yes, MS strategy is cross-plateform. Now. But in a few years, who knows what MS goals will be?

IMO, taking 10 minutes to think about is not lost time.

woogleon HockeyApp Joins Microsoft

I'm not sure it is a good news.

In one hand it's great to hear that Analytics will be added and cross support is still important.

But in the other hand, it puts developers in inconfortable position. Should we still use HockeyApp for our iOS apps? Depend on a tool owned by a concurrent of your target platform is not so safe on a long term sight..

woogleon Show HN: I made a game (4x4x4 Tic-Tac-Toe)

Played on iPhone. It was really simple and intuitive. Altough too easy to win

woogleon Microsoft Xim

Wow, I exactly felt the same. Microsoft made a vim editor?!.

(I'm using XVim every day, so Xim brainfckd me very hard)

woogleon RTFM 0day in iOS apps

The article is misleading, if you do nothing your webview won't open any phone call. You have to implement a specific method to intercept links and explicitly open them in the device.

see `- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView )webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest )request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType` method in official UIWebViewDelegate reference[0]

woogleon Ask HN: How to split equity?

You told us what you've done until now, but are those "many areas" ?

woogleon Show HN: Pagekit – A new, modern CMS built with Symfony components

This choice is weird for a product based on Symfony, which, by default, includes the Twig engine. It means that it requires every Symfony dev (this CMS target) to maintain (at least) their brain plugged on two template engines..

Maybe the OP could explain?

woogleon Show HN: Steady – Shoot Cinematic Videos

Nice see!

The video are legit :-) The best thing to prove it is to try the app (it works better outside) and I'm pretty sure you'll be amazed.

woogleon Tech Blogger Tries To Cancel Comcast Service, Hilarity Ensues

What is terrible is you have to LIE. I understand the OP POV. He has the right to disconnects without justify himself.

This is a privacy matter.

The operator acting is barely legal.

woogleon Do VCs have an age bias?

Very interesting graphic, but without the pitchers age we can't know if VC have an actual age bias.

woogleon Is there a justification as to why Hacker News is without responsive design?

I often use elinks to browse HN, and the comment feed neither is well displayed..

woogleon Vim as Language

Thanks for the book I'll take a look on it, it seems interesting.

For vimtutor it's introduced in the first part http://benmccormick.org/2014/06/30/learning-vim-in-2014-the-...

The most disturbing thing when learning vim is the fact that shortcuts actually "means" something rather than being near your fingers. Like the old flashioned way to use shortcuts in RTS games vs grid modes.

woogleon Vim as Language

This is what I was looking for a long time! Thank you. As vim is not learnable in a week-end. Understanding the basics progressively (like you do with a language) seems a nice approach.
