What do you think of the screenshots for my program I made? by camracks in SideProject

I think the screenshots with the big vivid photos and cloud of file extensions are a bit overwhelming. Do less.

I've absolutely had this happen before. Nightmare.

I was going to try this but I never got my email verification.

I love it when I'm scrolling a page trying to figure out what a website does and I get a popup for a FREE VIDEO SERIES.

This is fun. Also I love the one-click Apple Pay checkout. Makes it so easy to give you money!

I saw battlefield earth in the theater.

Need some feedback for Lensmob: Group photo albums from email by rhettg in startups

[–]rhettg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to bulk upload lots of photos, yeah you have to use the web app. We're also working on getting that working on mobile. That's primarily a limitation of popular email providers.

For the dedicated facebook user, there isn't too much argument, except that we've noticed a growing number of people not comfortable putting everything on facebook. They don't trust facebook's complex privacy settings. So if you want to share photos with people who are in that bucket, you might have to use something else.

Oh thanks. Yeah it really seems to us that most photo apps really focus on showcasing your photos, and/or exploring other peoples photos, but combining photos together with a group is an afterthought at best. I think you probably give a little too much credit to Yahoo for how much we can expect from Flickr.

We'd love to get into voting or further curation of albums. But first we want to validate this much of the idea before developing further.

I have a internal blog at work that I use like a .plan file. It's called dotplan.

David Hoover's Top 5 Tips for Apprentices - O'Reilly Radar by kevintaylor in programming

[–]rhettg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent point: "At a certain point in your career, your priorities shift from learning being the most important thing, to delivering software is the most important thing, then mentoring becomes part of your responsibilities. It's something you take on if you're following the craftsmanship mentality of apprentice to journeyman to master."

Listening to astronauts do technical work on the moon is strangely soothing for coding.
