> that they can spend more quality time with you

Maybe its just the doc offices i've been to, but i think this would actually just increase the patient churn in a hospital. There's no way a doc is going to increase their patient time by the 40% saved if the hospital can toss them in front of another patient.

I find that it works quite well. This is definitely more of a "rant" than anything else of a user that doesn't like where things are going.
Use the built in backup and restore and you dont lose your groups. Signal's primary design direction is encryption and privacy, you're going to have to compromise somewhere.

I'm wondering the same. My dad got a Surface Pro 6 last week and I had to go and make sure every toggle I could turn off was turned off. It's insane.

make sure you check out kotlin then, for Android

Using Google's android is not, but you could get amazon, or whatever. It's part of the ecosystem, if you buy into Amazon's you get their store, if you buy into Google's you get their's. If you want neither, you have to figure that out, or a new company needs to handle that situation.

Re:Swift is Open Source on Friday December 04, 2015 @12:07PM (#10677487)
look at the signature for `with`

    inline fun <T, R> with(receiver: T, f: T.() -> R): R 
it takes a lambda that is scoped to the receiver type `T`. This means the lambda runs in the scope of whatever is passed in as a receiver.

    with(list) {
      add(item)
      add(item)
    }
This essentially lets you create DSLs for whatever.

Another thing that's bit me in butt recently is that `Protocol`s aren't concrete types, unlike an `interface` in Java/Kotlin.

Re:Swift is Open Source on Thursday December 03, 2015 @02:16PM (#10671832)
In what way? I've recently started writing in Swift and I find it to be less powerful than Kotlin. One such feature that's missing: extension expressions. Allows things like `let` and `with` from the kotlin stdlib

* Login isn't through the official API, I just scrape what the website does

* There is an AlertDialog on the first run of the application that lets the user know about the G+ community

* Donations haven't been publicized yet (I only added the links a couple of weeks ago). I may publicize them soon, as the Heroku instance I'm running the server on may need to be moved into a pay tier.

Re:Show HN: Minimalist HN reader with material design on Monday June 22, 2015 @01:19AM (#9756298)
Ha! The web interface is probably not the best interface to emulate, especially not for mobile. If you're attempting to utilize Material Design, you should take a look at the metrics guidelines for creating a pleasing UI on the device.

I found that I got some good feedback via /r/androiddev and /r/android (once I got the client to a presentable state). My client: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.dwak.holoha...

Re:Show HN: Minimalist HN reader with material design on Sunday June 21, 2015 @11:46PM (#9756039)
Haha, saw this while working on my own android client!

Some pointers:

* Your story list is incredibly crowded and the text/background colors are too similar.

* Your store screenshots: don't need the Pull to refresh image (which, by the way seems like the wrong color). Also, don't know what the image with the empty list items is.

* The story number seems unnecessary, and has too much priority on the list item

Looks like a good start though, let me know if you've got any questions!

Re:Anko – Pleasant Android development in Kotlin on Sunday May 10, 2015 @04:36PM (#9521202)
I have a relatively medium implementation of a layout in anko here: https://github.com/burntcookie90/KotMeh/blob/master/app/src/...

I'm not sold on using it as a layout DSL, it's just not as easy to format as XML, and I don't think it looks syntactically that much better. However, I am sold on using anko as replacement for setters and getters (ie. `setText("test")` is just `.text = "test"`). Additionally, it's incredibly easy to add more extensions for other view types, like `RecyclerView` and custom layouts.
