Yes this! Numb to both and the notification/reminders from both and it starts becoming like furniture in the room (it's there but ignored)
Re:Moral dilemma in participating in an App Challenge on Monday September 11, 2017 @04:37AM (#15216967)
The dilemma : The key evaluation point for the challenge is "How the app will promote the use of office paper and the benefits for the user". Even though this is just a challenge, I'm worried if my idea takes off, it would result in increased paper production which will result in increased cutting of trees.

Re:FreeCharge from WhatsApp on Sunday May 22, 2016 @03:11AM (#11747637)
So freecharge now allows u to send or request money from WhatsApp chat. There is a disclaimer that this has nothing to do with WhatsApp brand. Tried the feature out and my fear came true. They wanted explicit permission for accessibility to be given to Freecharge.

Based on which they'll now listen to ​ certain keywords​ u type in WhatsApp and a dialogue appears from Freecharge.

Not sure if I should be excited about the new feature or worried about privacy / potential malware threats.

I tried using amazon's browser extension (for FireFox) and I must say its dead slow compared to this.

You're welcome. I've been an avid user of the web version ever since I bought my kindle. So kudos to your efforts :)

I was never able to use the Android app properly because it didn't allow me to use my kindle account. My account goes something like this [email protected] . But the Android app always added [email protected].

With Amazon's notorious history of locking up / wiping devices in name of DRM (ref 1, ref2) , I wouldn't be surprised if people would prefer pushing it directly to kindle instead of through Amazon. (Atleast one layer scrutiny is avoided).

That said, this looks pretty clean.

Agree. The android app doesn't work as smooth as the web version. (Found out the hardway).
