I run a design firm and would love to use a tool that made everyone happier.
The creators clearly have an idea for a way to change designer's workflow, but after viewing this video, the one on their site, and the tour section, I have no idea of how it really works. Right now, I simply don't see how this is an improvement over our current process (which does most of this).
The lack of links back to the main site on this blog is just odd, and the lack of sign-up at the end of the tour page is also puzzling. Its all so off putting...
I think showcasing real examples would be great. Displaying a scenario of how it can be used for designer, Account Manager, client, etc. Showing how it helps everyone involved. Right now it is all so abstract.
Update: It appears my post is unable to be read, as are the last 70 days of posts I've made. No explanation or notice. No notification my posts are hidden in any way from within the backend. I'm not spamming, nor have I posted anything other than thoughts. I have a positive karma, so I'm hopefully contributing to the community.
I like Hacker News because it is a place where big ideas and honest thoughts meet. It is what is great about the internet.
But being ghost-banned from a site that claims to be a haven for fresh, independent ideas is ironic. I understand how tough it must be to curate this site, but if dissenting opinions are no longer allowed on this site I will happily move on.
They are targeting this at enterprise level folks who own these devices and encourage them to use them. This is the point, at least from my point of view: mobile is so great that it is different from traditional experiences.
To make a traditional site only reinforces the "sameness" and doesn't encourage immediate action.
When I arrive I'm treated with a bar across the bottom that asks me to turn on cookies. Cookies are on. That's a good sign.
Looking around I see the "Hot Topics", the first two news stories are fake. It took about 24 hours to vette though so they are still riding off residual traffic from old lies.
Reviewing the article, the rousing source for this news: some guy's blog. The article's title could be "Chris doesn't like the new approach and believes heavily in metaphor.".
The card idea in the app store hasn't changed my purchasing behavior. The ability to see the list is still there, but added functionality to browser WHILE downloading has been included. This minor item ensures that when I'm spending, I keep spending. It means more money will be spent and I can guarantee the numbers will show this in the coming months.
I'm so sad that the comments that top HN comment areas are individuals complaining about implementation. This should be a place to find inspiration and encourage innovation, not nitpick those who are willing to try for great things.
After the Surface Tablet's debut and their incestious connection with Nokia, I don't think any hardware manufacturer is realistically looking at Windows Phone.
I think the comments in this thread would be most useful if everyone noted how much debt they had on leaving college. :)
When you owe 80k to an institution there is quite a bit of incentive to believe in college's power. I think this pressure is a net positive though in a few ways, as it forces personal action and makes one double-check their decisions.
I left school with no debt, but not a full degree. It allowed me to take risks with my first few jobs which ended up paying off in the long haul. Had I needed money to pay loans I don't believe I would have been so lucky.
Do you ever wonder how many assumptions you're making about those who've not completed college? I don't mean this in an insulting way, but I feel it should be noted that it is quite degrading. Your comment assumes:
1) This writer is not self-aware. They haven't taken stock of the full impact of college.
2) Other writers, who also write similar posts, are also not self-aware. This trend is not that college is in fact bad, but that many people who leave college fail at recognizing the true benefits. This is an epidemic.
3) That most people who don't attend college are unable to write well.
4) On top of the items above, that you feel you know more than this person about their own life.
This all feels to me like hefty cognitive bias to me.
It does seem like there is a variance on the sizes for the male/female parts which can cause connection issues.
I've had to swap the power cords before on new Macbooks as the cords that came with it wouldn't fit well. If you bring it in they will replace it within a year at no cost.
Apple's modus operandi is change. People have watched these changes occur, and have predicted doom for them for ten years now. I'd wager they'll be okay.
As a Chicagoan, I agree with this fully. The people here are very smart and fully capable, but those with the money force their team's hands to make bad decisions. Acquisition is the ultimate goal, not creating value.
VC's make me unnaturally angry because I've seen them ruin some truly wonderful things.
When you get hit with a heavy load and go down, it is an huge issue for a web business. The whole point is to drive large amounts of traffic, and so if a marketing campaign is successful you're paying for nothing.
Apparently you don't think that web based businesses having downtime is an issue. Worse yet, your casual and downright confrontational attitude when confronted with actual evidence.
I'm using the content of his post to make a judgement.
He made a bad deal and is blaming others. Had he not blamed Microsoft for the contract he signed I would completely understand his, very tough, decision.
"I guarantee Phil Fish knows a lot more about the facts of the situation than you do."
• Game company signs deal with Microsoft to be a platform exclusive.
• Game company releases game with problems but has a successful launch.
• Game company complains that their original contract is bad, it would be fixed in an alternate world, and that they complain about paying to be a platform exclusive.
If I didn't think Phil Fish was a drama queen before...
