Very nice UI/UX, is there anyway to apply this to a website via entering a URL and it does it auto-magically?
Re:Ask HN: Do you think HN should add support for smileys?

My love (reasons for returning) toward HN content consumption comes from its plain text simplicity.
Im trying to escape social emoji overuse found everywhere else these days.
Re:Ask HN: Why some startups grow soo big where as some stays small?

2 key ingredients.
1: build a great product for a very large market, by very large I mean mums and dads can use the product.
For example, if you build a startup say a CRM for Lawyers, think how big can it get. Take uber, they have a very large market because mums and dads (all of us) can use the product.
2: marketing, marketing and more marketing. It creates hype..
Re:Show HN: EmuCast – a perfect video meeting tool for remote and dist...

Hello HN - I'm Sean a co-founder at EmuCast.
Quick history: At my last company we would 'work from home' a few days a week and we realized legacy video meetings tools were still cumbersome to use and didn't cater for remote working.
As Dev's we thought that's not good enough. We wanted a lite-weight instant video meeting tool for our agile teams which didn't stop us from doing other tasks in parallel to having a meeting.
We decided to setup a new tech startup, and so EmuCast is born.
Hit me up with any questions or feedback. We have a FREE option to allow you to get started.
Re:Another Terrible Interview Experience with a Bad Recruiter

Damn, what a awful experience dude. Good on your for calling out this behavior.
I do have a question. Why didn't you call out the recruiter in the meeting and pull them up then and there on their condescending attitude and approach to you? I know it's not easy especially when your wanting a role they represent but man sometimes people need to be stopped in their tracks.
Do you work remote, apparently it can cause more stress

It probably did prompt the second round review, but someone in head office is going too many reviews could lead to a congress led inquiry, so they stay quiet until a a contractor spills the beans on the nastiness happening behind the scenes.

Im not a fan of devices actively listening and sending snippets (if not all the info) back to home base.
My simple solution is to not use these kind of devices.

If you in Sydney, Australia (in the CBD, which is downtown) your looking at $65 USD per day. Absolute rip-off.
