oh god I need to change my HN username

that's the spacecraft that dropped us off!

Ahhh!!! Congrats Ritik. Huge news and always nice to see good news from other Thiel Fellows :)

Really hope Streem continues to exist as an independent product or at least as a plugin on top of Box or something.

Good luck man!

Bret Victor admitted at some point to being inspired by playing Braid.

This will revolutionize programming education.

Interestingly enough, the time manipulation in Swift was inspired by a game called Braid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_(video_game)) released back in 2009.

This will help young programmers solidify the connection between giving the computer logical commands and what is outputted on the screen immediately.

Reminds me of how excited I was when Processing (http://www.processing.org/) was released which made it dead simple to interact with a screen and graphics. Didn't have live feedback, but it made it incredible easy to understand OOP.

Can we talk about the line height and weight on the font of their blog? Hate to be a classic HN commenter, but it makes it almost impossible to read on mobile. Very little of my screen is actual black pixels, mostly just white space between lines and characters...

Woah. How long has RapGenius had the "Powered By Genius" feature? Really cool that you can include annotations on your own domain.

OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE EVER READ. CHANGED MY LIFE.

But seriously, I try to over share with my close friends because I know I can handle their criticism. Impressed by Ryan's courage to receive such personal feedback from anyone on the internet.

You need to put something up on the home page which shows some of the gigs in your area or perhaps some of the drivers?

Tough to see what the product looks like without actually signing up and posting/bidding.

Entirely familiarity. I had used Restuino and Arduino a lot before :)

I wanted to do this as quickly as possible rather than playing around with Linux and learning a new framework!

Thanks man!

Currently it's security through obscurity... so not great. I'll make the arduino only accept requests with a token next weekend.

Yeah if you take a look at the arduino code on github it's a super light http server. Currently I just do port forwarding to access it.

In order to take advantage of the Siri "api", it has to be a native app. All the native app does is open a webview with a specific link.

Siri doesn't recognize the names of bookmarks you save to your home page.

I mean I stated that at the top... I've read a decent number of the successful apps. I'm not going to write an essay where I don't give my strong opinions. I can only write from my viewpoint...

Nope. I'm silly. Damn. That's crazy.

Pretty sure you can't use Giteor if I want to have a custom domain? Either that or I was being silly.

Dude. Thanks man. I created this almost entirely from my phone while sitting on a plane.

All I had to do was whip out my computer while sitting at baggage claim and run 'mrt deploy www.healthhackers.org'

Web is a crazy place...

My friend texted me as soon as I did this. Maybe it's just me but Reddit always feels so distracting.

Mostly I'm just stubborn and wanted to have control over look/layout.

In all reality nowadays it takes about as long to make a subreddit as it does to make one of these haha.

That'd be awesome :) Haha, there are a lot of those guys...

Same here. I kept wanting to make it and finally got a flight delayed by a couple of hours so I finally made it :)

The goal is generally to cover healthcare tech. Probably a bad title for HN but if you look at the articles on it thus far, it covers a wide spectrum.

I'll have to disagree haha. What's the point in putting in more effort?

Telescope took me a solid 15 mins at most to get running and I can test this "MVP"
