As a sufferer of early onset parkinson's, it's great to see products like this being developed. Hats off.

Re:Say 'Ahhh': A Simpler Way To Detect Parkinson's

I developed a slight tremor in my right hand and had trouble moving my arm as fluidly as my other.

If this works successfully then it would be great but as a 28 year old with Parkinson's, I'm skeptical.
It took approximately 12 months, numerous blood tests, MRIs and doctor visits to diagnose me as having YOPD, so I'm finding it hard to believe that this could be replaced with a telephone call.

Alas I'm still 90% coder, 10% designer. The current site is the third iteration of the layout.
If I wasn't too stingy to pay a designer, I would :)

Honestly, no I haven't looked into any of this.
I have noticed, however, that most, if not all of the sites offer product feeds that include the images. So I'd assume that there is no issue there.
Regarding Google, I honestly don't have a clue. I shall put some time into looking into it though

I originally tried analysing the colours in the images and picking out the most common colours used.
In the end, I just ended up using the colours mentioned on the pages when I scrape them.
It works well generally but throws a few false positives.

I've written crawler for all of the sites featured. Probably not the best/easiest way to do it but it works for me.

I am planning on expanding to men and kids later on. I just thought I'd keep it simple by targeting one section to begin with.

Show HN: Shoplove - A women's high street store aggregator
Background: I noticed that my better half spent a lot of time searching for the same thing (at the time it was maternity dresses) across a whole load of women's fashion stores online. So I built her a site that lets her search some of the top stores from one site.I have an idea for a few social elements that I want to add to try and make more of a community.Any feedback, tips etc...

Show HN: idle.fm - Spotify playlists based on your Facebook profile
idle.fm is an app that looks at the music you have "liked" on Facebook, then builds a playlist on Spotify based on recommendations.I built it in the few hours I have free during the last couple of weeks. There's still a few rough edges (it's quite slow at the mo) but I thought I'd show you guys. It should work on iphones, although there aren't tailored views yet.Do you think it's worth me...

I've never used redis-objects but it does look interesting. I'll have a play around with it tonight and update the post.
Thanks for the heads up.
Edit: updated.
