I'd say on HN then it makes sense that many will misread it as Trello, but I think it's safe to assume that the name was inspired by Telly, and that the Trello similarity is just a (un)fortunate collision.
When I first saw Go I was put off by its syntax, but after giving it a chance I very quickly fell in love with it.
I've used C#, Python, Ruby, Java, C, Obj-C, JS and Go for mid-large scale projects. Go is the only language I've ever truly loved; sometimes I even feel like I'm writing poetry (as ridiculous as that may sound).
The community is really incredible^, I've yet to encounter anything that didn't have great documentation or solved by packages. My favorite SO answer of any language is probably this one by icza: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22892120/how-to-generate... . I also feel that it's very easy to read and understand other peoples code compared to other languages (imo, the only aspect of Go that I think can be difficult for newcomers to grasp is pointers). All in all, I feel very confident that I'll still be writing Go code after ten years.
^ (Although I hate when certain "elitists" downvote questions because they feel they've been sufficiently answered elsewhere.. if a SO answer says how to display time to YYYY-MM-DD:HH-MM then don't complain if someone ask how to display time as YYYY-MM-DD.. I have a strong dislike towards jquery (or rather JS), but I think the great thing about jquery is that every imaginable edge-case seem to be documented)
And when you turn it into a more realistic scenario (~1 hour video/day - something I'd almost never do with my iPhone but often do with my Pixel), it's hard to imagine not having access to WiFi throughout the week. Even the hotels/apartments with really poor connection seem to have no trouble uploading the photos/videos throughout the night.
Not sure what countries you're referring to, but I haven't had any issues throughout my travels, and when I visited Vietnam then I didn't even bother to buy data (I believe it only costed about $10 for unlimited data for 15 days) because the WiFi at the hotels was sufficient for me.
I also feel some of you really underestimate just how many photos/videos you can store with 15-20GB. Speaking of which, with my iPhone I was always struggling with storage because I wanted to keep some pics/videos on my phone, and I was often too lazy to transfer to my laptop, which would just cause storage issues there.. with the Pixel I've never had any trouble staying above 15GB out of the 32 (24 including system) GB available. In most cases you would likely run out of battery multiple times before you managed to capture 15-20GB worth of photos/videos throughout the day.
I also never worry that any of my photos/videos will get lost/corrupted thanks to Google Photos; this has always been a major issue for me when I relied on external hard-drives (I've probably lost hundreds of thousands of pictures throughout the last 15 years because a harddrive broke, or the pictures got corrupted for no apparent reason). It was also always a pain to deal with duplicates, to deal with identical image names (if I recall correctly then iPhone would have name clashes whenever you reached 9999 photos), etc. And relocating a specific picture/video meant that I had to look through thousands of photos in countless poorly named/organized folders (and always bring the hard-drive(s) with me).. With Google Photos I can just search the name of the place, or only search for videos, and locate what I'm looking for within a few seconds.
Actually, I'm lucky to work remotely, allowing me to travel around in Asia on a pretty much weekly basis. I'm currently in Thailand where they offer free, unlimited data (accessible pretty much anywhere) for only $9 for a month. I was also recently in Vietnam where the WiFi at all the hotels were crazy fast. A great thing about my national SIM card is also that in most western countries, I'm free to use it as much as I want with no extra charge. So far I haven't had any connection problems anywhere during my travels in Northern Europe, Asia and USA.
I've yet to encounter a situation where I ran out of storage (and I take thousands of pictures and a few videos whenever I visit some sightseeing place). Sometimes I even go 2-3 full battery charges (using powerbanks) where all the battery is spent on photos+chatting+uploading, and as long as I click 'free up device storage' under the Photos app then I'll never get maxed out.
Another great benefit of this is that I can easily use great phone covers like LifeProof without having to deal with removing and adding the cover (this is truly a pain in the ass when using the LifeProof cover - not sure if there are any other great and slick phone covers that makes it easier and convenient to take it off/on while also providing great protection for the phone). In any case, I can't imagine ending up in a situation with no wifi, no data, and the need to take more than 2k photos before obtaining access to decent internet, and I'd like to think that I have traveled a lot, especially in underdeveloped countries and cities.
I'm aware, if it lasted forever then I'd gladly pay an additional $1000+.
But as you also know, after 2020 then they'll still offer unlimited high-quality photo/video storage, and I think those who don't abuse the offering by storing RAW files and such won't mind the minor quality difference, and those who do will likely want to upgrade their phone.
I won't defend ditching the headphone jack, especially after Google ridiculed Apple for doing so. But as a very happy owner of the Pixel phone, I'd say the free, unlimited storage of photos and videos in original quality is a million times better than having a SD card slot.
Just today I transferred about 25GB of video and photos, and I probably wouldn't have bothered to record these videos if I had to transfer using SD card or cable. One might argue that's a sign that these videos aren't worth storing, but I'd say it shows the value of unlimited storage. In fact, if I had to choose between two near identical phones, with the only thing separating them being the unlimited Google Photos storage, then I'd gladly add an additional $250 to obtain that.
I think many of us experienced what it's like to make the jump from HD to FHD, or especially FHD to UHD on a similar sized screen. Once you make the jump, then you begin to wonder how you ever lived without it. For me, and I think for most Pixel owners, unlimited storage of high quality photos and 4k videos gives the exact same feeling. Having stock Android, best camera, slick design and great build quality just makes it that much sweeter, and I honestly do believe that marketing, brand loyalty and availability is the only reason the Pixel phone wasn't more successful than [insert any phone here] (I'd estimate 19 out of 20 who have asked about my phone never heard of Google Pixel, and had no idea Google even made any hardware products).
Yeah, it was a group project with a lot of presentations, so could instantly recognize who the project belonged to just by looking at group number/easily recognizable pictures. Not sure if there were other identifiable information.. but you say peergrade doesn't display this, so I guess here it's again the fault of the professor to let students upload entire documents rather than letting them copy parts of the text..
That being said, I do seem to recall that the uploading process was somewhat simplified, meaning that we had no choice but to upload everything together, rather than splitting the uploading part into different sections. I mean, if the assignment was a research paper, then instead of uploading it all together (usually in the form of a pdf), it could be divided into different sections, e.g. introduction, related works, etc. (with only text it would be much harder to recognize the author, and if person A reviewed introduction of PersonB and related works of PersonC then it would be even more difficult to identify).. this could also go a long way towards solving the poorly made questions by the professor since it would be guaranteed that all the questions were relevant and completed (not sure if that makes sense, and I wouldn't be surprised if I remember wrong and all of this is already possible ^_^)
About feedback on feedback, it sounds good in theory, but I recall many wouldn't bother looking at it (especially because most would just leave "ok", "good", "I agree" etc as their grading comment), and those who did would just skim it without taking any actions to correct poor feedback where it was clear the person grading it hadn't bother to read the content in detail. But I of course have no idea if our behavior was the norm rather than the exception :)
In fact, one of my biggest issues with grading in general (second only to being graded based on a stupid test/presentation at the end of the semester rather than the assignments completed throughout the course) is that teachers will often be biased, and I think you have a real shot at fixing this by ensuring that even the teachers don't know the author of the assignment they grade.
I used it for one of my courses a little over a year ago; I don't recall seeing any flag, but maybe that's a newish feature.
My primary problem was that the professor often created a question or two that 9/10 groups hadn't addressed, and failed to add questions addressing the value of their work. Meaning a group may have created a product worthy of a 95+/100 score, but failed to address some poorly made question by the professor. Although you could argue that flaw lies upon the professor rather than your product :)
Another problem was that it was very easy to figure out the owner of the assignment, which basically meant that many of the students would give top score to their friends regardless of the quality of their work.
Finally, I hated the psychology that played into effect when grading the peers. Especially because I couldn't help but think that the professor would be able to associate the comments/scores to me (resulting in me giving overly positive scores to terrible assignments)..
That being said, I think what you're building is really great, and if I were a professor then I'd likely want to use it myself.
Hello, I decided to build note.delivery because I often want to share notes between my computer and phone without affecting the formatting.
I also wanted to familiarize myself with a frontend framework. I am a very experienced Go developer, but this is my first webapp built with vuejs (or any JS framework for that matter). Honestly, as a full-stack developer, I used to feel like frontend was something I had to 'endure', but vuejs somehow managed to make it quite enjoyable.
I'm always interested in teaming up with intelligent and like-minded people; not necessarily for note.delivery, but it would be ideal to begin with a small-size project to see if we are a good fit. As for note.delivery, I see several potential revenue streams, e.g. by including user support, allowing customers to store their notes on an account, or obtain the ability to write notes that only they themselves could delete, or to let notes automatically delete after X amount of time, or let us post a physical mail on their behalf without anyone being able to associate that mail to them, etc.
Ideally, I'd like to find someone who's great at marketing, selling, or have good connections. I'd also love to team up with a talented artist (for game dev). As for fellow developers, the ideal partner would be someone who's great at building scrapers, or capable of building great native applications.
I don't know how the Play Store commenting system works, but I think before jumping to conclusions then it's important to consider that if there were any foul play then it would probably have been better achieved through "shadowbanning". I do feel it would make sense if the Play Store didn't count comments made by newly registered users or known bots.
Windows have EmEditor.. unfortunately Linux doesn't seem to have any. Hopefully someone can develop a great frontend for the xi editor (https://github.com/google/xi-editor).
Sublime Text is imo near perfect, only thing I miss is the ability to edit multi-GB files (on a reasonably priced laptop).. sadly I believe it will be near impossible for Sublime Text to ever support this.
I have extremely high hopes for your app, and I'd very much love to see it on the frontpage again, but you make it very difficult to tell what changes has been made since the last time it reached the frontpage (and just a day ago someone reported that it was still getting flagged by anti-virus software on Windows - I think you might want to either fix this, or open source it, before you attempt to promote it again.. otherwise it will just continue to scare people away from using it)
I also believe that if you want to get votes from those who browse the new section (and I think you should assume most of them already know about your app), then you better wait until you make major announcement (e.g. code being open sourced), or at the very least make it clear what's changed.. In this case it seems like you've added Facebook support, which I'd consider worthy of a new announcement. However, while you should expect people browsing 'new' to be familiar with 'eul', you shouldn't expect them to have memorized which clients were already supported the last time it reached the frontpage (especially since you at that time mentioned clients that hadn't received support yet)..
Perhaps in your future Show HN threads, you can add a comment linking back to the original thread, and explaining what changes makes it worthy of being resubmitted, after being on the frontpage less than two months ago.. I really worry that attempting to promote your site with 3 (perhaps even more) accounts, two different websites, and constant deletion/resubmission, will end up severely hurting your chances of success with the HN crowd. That being said, I do believe that you have 90+% chance of reaching the frontpage if you make a Show HN submission with the Github repo after it's been open sourced, and I'm sincerely rooting for your success :)
What a ridiculous comment.. I can assure you that the majority of the developers do not own a 8GB dev machine, and surely you can see why this application would be valuable for the average user chatting with their friends on Skype/whatever on their 2GB, i3 laptop (assuming they're lucky enough to be able to afford such a device).
I have browsed Show HN every day for over a year now, and I can't think of any project that made me as excited as this (although https://github.com/google/xi-editor and https://github.com/limetext come close). I bet that almost every Go developer on HN would love to read, study and learn from his code, so how about we ask him nicely instead of attempting to attack his credibility in hope of pressuring him into releasing his source code..
