Now instead of just shitting bricks, you can piss bricks.

Seriously though, I wish the article had more information about material strength, time and cost. Eco-centric tech like this is great in my opinion, but is it something that's actually practical?

I always thought this was to ensure you get a photo of what you're seeing in the moment; not something after a delay which is what was happening with older phones. Essentially it's a fast and dirty way for the photos to be WYSIWYG and avoid camera lag.

I'd add a privacy policy. I didn't want to enter my real address since I didn't know what could be done with my address. I know your intentions are not nefarious, but a simple blurb around what you do w/ collected data would be nice.
Re:Show HN: Spaced Repetition System for iOS on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @02:52PM (#14606826)
Great work, I've been searching for something like this for a while, and never really liked the UX for Anki. I love the UX, very clean and easy to use. Tutorial / intro was the perfect length, gave me a quick run down on how to use it without taking too much time.

I almost skipped over this because I didn't know what "spaced repetition system" was. My only suggestion is to market it around what benefit the user will get out of it, and not SRS / or the algorithm behind it.
