The design is nice (very headspace like) and I like the ease and selection of packs. I’ve used Memrise, ChineseSkill, HelloChinese, and Plecco. In comparison, the spoken words could use a lot of improvement. It would be nice if the characters could be color coordinated on tone — which is helpful for new learners to remember tones. Also, I would like to create my own packs or have the option to...

This seems less of a "Netflix-killer" and more of a "HBO-killer." With WarnerMedia trying to turn HBO into Netflix, focused on broad array of content instead of the very best -- Apple may have the chance to control "high-quality content." HBO was always know as the place where artists wanted to make their content, can Apple now be that place? They've already been accused of being too hands on...

This is a really fun way to help your kid remember your phone number. Pros: Great animations, fun music Cons: None

Congrats @matte on the launch! The animations and music are great. Who do I get if I call 415-894-2418?

@bonsjoerd - This is awesome. Saves a ton of time. One bug - I couldn't get the in and out points to work properly.

@sethlouey - just tried to use it in Starbucks app with Apple Pay and got an error. Do you have to fund the account first - shouldn't the $10 credit cover it?

@scottwww is there a way to search for the cheapest day to return for a given departure date (if you don't care about the length of the trip)?

I would love if they partnered with local gyms in the city. When I travel for an extended period of time or even in another city for a few days, it makes it a lot easier to stay in routine if there is a gym accessible in the hotel.

Is this using a translation service like Google Translate? How does it work if the translated string is too long? Localization is a pain, but the cost barrier is pretty low (<$1,000) if a market is really important to you.

I actually used this to propose to my fiancé (she said yes). :) I'm glad I did it, but the build quality of the product is lackluster. The first one they sent didn't work and then they sent me another one that spontaneously stopped working. Fortunately, I was able to flash the software on one of them to get it working before the proposal, but I wasn't confident that it was actually going to...

@mulligan - this looks awesome, but I am getting "Whoops! We ran into a problem uploading your screenshot." I am trying to pull from the App Store.

@virtualgoodz the website is a little light on details on how each of the things work? Do you support dynamic deeplinking in push (send each user to a most relevant place)?

@tomhschmidt - would be awesome if it all showed areas where surge was lower. I'd rather walk a block for 1.3x vs. 1.6x than 15 minutes for no surge.

We use Parse at Ebates for Push. They are the best "free" service and are much better than many expensive solutions. Their recent updates to the Android SDK which support multi-line and custom receivers make a big difference. The only thing I would like to see is faster sending of unique messages. Sending 100K+ messages if its personalized to the user can takes 40-50 minutes. When you send a...

I think Apple Pay's impact on eCommerce will be substantially greater than offline for the next 3-5 years. Conversion on mobile is a huge issue that people are trying to solve. The idea that you don't need a wallet for each app to checkout should be a win for merchants and consumers.

I've been using a similar app called Cinch for a while. You drag the windows to resize (side by side, one in every corner, etc.). It now feels weird when I am on a Mac without it. http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/

@rdgthree - this is a great idea. I was looking for this while traveling in Asia, but ended up finding only cookie-cutter guides from travel books. Does it allow for you to request input from different experts? I would want a foodie to recommend dinner spots, an adventure junkie to recommend zip lining etc.
