You can start a chat with yourself in WhatsApp: https://messageyourself.com
That explains a lot, I was redirecting to the website from a "Subscribe" link in the app. Maybe if I just called the link "Sign up" it would've been a different story. Anyway, I like having the subscription option in the app, it makes it much easier for the user to sign up, without the need to go to the website and fill in the forms.
Why is Apple allowing this?:

“3.1.1 In-App Purchase: If you want to unlock features or functionality within your app, (by way of example: subscriptions, in-game currencies, game levels, access to premium content, or unlocking a full version), you must use in-app purchase. Apps may not use their own mechanisms to unlock content or functionality…”

My app was previously rejected because I had to built in In-App purchasing.

Can't visit the website from the NL, blocked by Sucuri.

I noticed already for a longer time how Facebook Inc. is restricting more and more what you can do with data on their websites, sharing stuff like video's and pictures outside of their domain is nearly impossible, and now you can't even select comments anymore. I suggest Facebook takes notice of the story how PayPal only started to become successful when they made it is easy for their clients to get money out of PayPal. In the early days it wasn't easy to get your money out of PayPal, PayPal thought it would be good for their financial numbers to try to keep user's money on the PayPal's bank account. But users stopped using it, because you couldn't get your money out easily. Only when PayPal decided to make it easy to get your money out, users started to come back. And guess what, users didn't take out their money en masse, it was enough to know you could get it out easily anytime you wanted to. I feel the same is with how Facebook Inc treats users data. Using Facebook's websites is like being in a prison, you can't get data out of it, it's annoying and I noticed I just stop using it more and more.

Thanks for your message and no worries, I'm not trying to get rich off of it. The website is just there to make it easy for people to message themselves, without the hassle of creating a group and annoy other people with it. PS: messaging yourself from the phonebook, like you mention, doesn't seem to be possible on iOS..

I have a little suspicion that you didn't try it. :-) Messageyourself is not a separate app, the website only activates a WhatsApp chat with yourself. I will make that clear on the website shortly. WhatsApp also doesn't need an internet connection to send yourself messages btw. What this method also allows it to forward messages from other chats to yourself as notes, instead of having to copy paste and switch between apps. Just a little example of how this could be a little bit more convenient for some people. There are probably other uses I didn't think of besides using it as a "notes" app.

Just to make it easy for everybody to send messages to yourself.

Thanks! And I'm a big fan of Solomun, I saw him DJ'ing live once and he will definitely be in a playlist for when we need to slow down hacking a bit because of a rate limiting firewall. ;-)
After some research I created this playlist to help hackers code faster. "Software eats the world", so I hope this playlist will help the world move forward faster. Together we can do it! Hack the planet!
I had a corrupted SD card after power outages or when I overclocked the Pi too much. After several times and re-images the damage was permanent and had to replace the SD-card.

Offtopic, but how come, when I see this website is on windows.com, that I expect it to load slowly?

Also, how can I get a WifiMask.com ad on your site? :)

Nice, it would be awesome to be able to sort the cafe's in a city based on their internet connection speed.
Re:Ask HN: What's your backup setup? on Tuesday February 21, 2017 @11:24AM (#13696668)
My backup strategy is top-secret, I don't want anybody to know where my files are located and how it is recoverable, especially not everybody on the internet.

Let's reject the low-impact politics going insane and instead focus on the advancements of high-impact technologies.
