Yeah I think so. Honestly we don't really have much in terms of analytics but based on timing it was earlier than hacker news. I think the verge users were more likely to initiate a migration from Pocket or Instapaper. Imports can be quite intensive if we have to fetch the content, especially because a number of older sites might not exist anymore and timeout.

When we started I liked the concept of the mono repo. Things like a client update landing in the same commit as it's API requirements and doc changes all sounded great.

I still think there are some pros of the mono repo, but definitely some cons as well. Especially for people trying to work on just a small bit of the code.

Yeah not actually this post, but another post that generated a lot of user's running huge imports of their libraries from other services, which unfortunately are not 100% isolated yet.

Looks like you hit the rate limit, was this happening while trying to setup an account?

Re:On the Road to Continuous Delivery at Localytics on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @10:25AM (#7743904)
It's pretty nice to see companies that are still young working so hard on their process and making effort to do things "the right way"

I use localytics for a couple of my apps and its a really useful service.

OK, I'll definitely look into it. They literally just enabled this a couple weeks ago, so I didn't get to test much.

If you want, feel free to email me [email protected] with any other issues or details on this one (especially if its a public repo).

Thanks sirn. The top two things are on the roadmap. Especially preview.

Regarding font selection, which fonts would you like? I'll have to bundle the fonts with the app, so I'd like to hear what people are into. Right now it uses Meslo for source and Avenir everywhere else.

GitHub recently fixed the unable to fetch PR updates when issues are disabled thing. You aren't using GitHub Enterprise are you?

Yeah, I actually joked about doing a version that would randomly insert meow in your comments (with increasing density the more you use it) for free.

With WWDC looming there is a chance trials might get announced. If not I'll probably do something.

Yeah, part of the problem is they are all retina. Lots more screenshots here: http://tinyurl.com/codereview-appstore and on the blog: http://blog.codereview.io
Yeah I agree. I'm going to put more effort into the site eventually. In the short term there are details on http://blog.codereview.io and on the actual App Store page ( http://tinyurl.com/codereview-appstore ).

To directly answer your questions: it is GitHub only. I see the main benefit vs other tools is a streamlined and focused workflow for reviewing and collaborating on pull requests. Also the iPad form factor is a nice change of pace vs reviewing on your computer.

Right now its GitHub. Definitely BitBucket is something I'll look at in the future. Internally everything is abstracted away to support different backends. But I want to make sure I totally nail GitHub before taking on another provider.
This is awesome. Thanks. Love this kind of stuff. If you are interested there is a book "Making Software: What Really Works, and Why We Believe It" that takes a scientific approach to evaluating software practices.
Basically because you can access external web content. Either that or maybe I clicked the wrong box somewhere, but I'm pretty sure all apps that let you browse the web get the 17+
I've always found code review to be incredibly valuable. I remember a long time ago reading that NASA studied a bunch of different development methodologies and found code review to be the most effective at reducing defects. However, we already sit in front of our computers too much, and its hard to shift mindsets from coding to editing.

The iPad seemed like a good alternative to reviewing code on your computer. You can get away from your desk, and change your mindset.

Have you thought about adding coworking space? I would kill for a bookstore environment with coffee and decent chairs. As it is, I do most of my work in a Barnes and Noble, and my back hates me for it.
Re:On Why Open Source Developers run Mac OS X on Friday December 17, 2010 @01:30PM (#2017141)
I work on the Mono team and we do nothing of the sort. Most of us don't even have a windows machine.

Re:Ask HN: The current state of DotNet Web development on Tuesday December 14, 2010 @07:39AM (#2003958)
I guess while I'm at it I'll throw my project into the mix. Its still very much under development though and more focused on Mono and running on OSX/Linux.

http://manosdemono.org (nothing really there right now) https://github.com/jacksonh/manos/blob/master/docs/tutorial/...

Re:Ask HN: The current state of DotNet Web development on Tuesday December 14, 2010 @01:21AM (#2003322)
You can just compile Mono's System.Json if you want it on the desktop. a lot of people using the Newtonsoft.Json stuff too.

Kayak and OpenRasta might suit your needs.

Gitmarks helps you keep track of cool projects on Github

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dbjampjhnhcfjgcapnkkbolmjghhpiio

Gitmarks is a Chrome extension for Github.I created Gitmarks because hackernews leads me to so many cool looking projects that I want to keep track of. For awhile I was watching all of them, but that was muddying up my News Feed. I didn't really care about these projects development, just didn't want to lose track of them.
