I agree with this suggestion. I have not regretted having both a smart phone a dumb phone I can use when I want to untether but also still be contactable in emergencies.

This does seem unfortunate especially considering the enforcement doesn’t target Apple’s parter IBM which the article says develops similar apps. I guess the answer is that for many of these apps they need to make their own without a template or just encourage use of a mobile website.

Helix looks really cool. One small usability/onboarding to think about is it took me a little while to figure out that I need to double tap on an item to edit it (using Google Chrome on Android phone). Looking forward to trying Helix out!

A coworker two jobs ago told me about it and I've been reading ever since. So glad she told me about it!

I've used NeoBudget a virtual envelope budgeting system for years. You do have to manually upload your bank transactions but I really like the visual virtual envelope UI. https://neobudget.com

To deal with the cats want food before we awake we bought an automatic feeder: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002YHUPC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=... - it seems to work most mornings, but we do think one of our cats may take the food from both so we give them the second part of their breakfast when we wake up. Today they wanted 2nd part of breakfast earlier, they didn't know about the time change ;)

I have really enjoyed Kendo UI but am now just getting into a world beyond jQuery based frameworks, what were you comparing Kendo UI to that you liked better?

I love this quote from the article: "Hackers like to work for people with high standards. But it's not enough just to be exacting. You have to insist on the right things."

Really cool idea!

Minor suggestion, make the TOS link on your signup form open in a new window, that way someone signing up without manually opening in new window won't lose what they've typed.

My coworkers created a fun "ad" for xMap showing the problem it is solving here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPu68JvQvaw

It all started with one of our directors asking me to spend 1 hour estimating how long it would take to build this: http://blog.xmapit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/approx-may...

Then our company had their own "shark tank" competition, which we didn't win and we made this poster as part of our presentation (sorry about the blur): http://blog.xmapit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/xMap-Shark...

The idea is to stop planning things with a wall of sticky notes connected by string but have a tool designed for organizing info via tags.

We have started a blog (not yet linked to from home page): http://blog.xmapit.com/

I'd love your feedback!

Thanks!
