Unrelated, but does anyone know of a successful tech product name with five or more syllables? Antigravity CLI is a mouthful.

I wonder what would happen if someone discovered an efficient algorithm for finding or predicting prime numbers or their factors. It would put the fundamentals of internet security at risk and likely much more. Has anyone ever considered a plan B for such a scenario?

When you are working on a large monolith, how exactly do you managed pull request?

Are they split into git-sub modules/ frameworks? Curious to know the development code review flow.

I also wonder how they handle merge requests in a monorepo, especially when it comes to the code review process.

I am curious to know if anyone is attempting to bring Uniqlo's RFID-based self-checkout system [1] to grocery stores.

In Singapore, where I live, self-checkouts are gaining popularity and work quite well.

We were also using notion for our project management and slowly outgrew it. We switched to http://linear.app and are very happy with it.

When I first created this app "7Web"(https://7web.co) couple of years back many suggested why don't I just use RSS feeds.

Personally I'm not a big fan of RSS feeds mainly because I miss the familiarity and UX of the original website where I spend half the time browsing through Desktop and rest on mobile/iPad.

I thought its just me but many of my users still use this app everyday.

So this was the reason netflix killed its airplay support?

I had the same opinion. So few months back I made an iOS app to read all my favourite sites in one place https://7web.co

If any one who doesn't like RSS like me but wish to get all their news websites in one place, I made an app for that. https://7web.co Hope it helps someone.

Hi HN,

I have a habit of browsing a fixed set of news websites every day (including Recode, Techcrunch, TechInAsia, CNN, HN and stuff ) on both my mac and iPhone. But I found wasting a lot of time trying to open a new website in iOS Safari (open new tab flow) and the UX is very cumbersome and there is no way in Safari iOS to open all your sites in a single tap ( you can do that in desktop only).

Solution 1: So I tried to use FlipBoard and subscribe to all my Sites. this didn’t help me as the FlipBoard broke the UX of the original site and the order of the article was mixed up.

Solution 2: RSS feeds Not sure why but I just didnt like the whole RSS thing

So finally I decided to make an app to solve this problem.

P.s: Sorry for the repost. I didnt know about Show HN so my thread was lost. looking for some feedback.

Sorry for the late reply. I am aware of the keyboard issue. It's a bug in iOS 11 and its already reported to apple (bug : 34229664). you can access the share screen by clicking on the 3 dots at the bottom.

The new update (v 1.0.2) also added Ad blocker.

New comment by spacemonkey92 in "‘Anonymous’ Chat App Hijacks Contact Data"

spacemonkey92 — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 10:25:22 +0000

One of the ios App I built needed contacts permission, but it's only within the app and never sent to my server. When I submitted it for review to Apple, they didn't approve the app asking the reason why I was accessing the contacts and if sending them to the server. Only if they are happy with the answer they will approve your app.

So in a way, iOS apps are much secure than Android.
