Show HN: Minimalist HN reader with material designhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9755681Hello everyone!, this is a app I have being working on recently. I know there are number of HN readers on android. But couldn't find a one suitable for daily use. So I started developing this app. News articles, comments open in default browser of the device. Click on title of the item to open the article and anywhere else to open comments. Pull down to refresh. Swipe left and right to change the tabs. This is only the first phase of application. Lot of functions yet to be implement (you can read more in Google play listing). Before developing further I would love to have some feedback. BTW I'm a CS undergraduate.Thank you.Image :http://www.kasungamlath.com/assets/hnyc_framed.png Application :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kasungamlath.hackernewsAny feedback is appreciated, thanks!Jun 22, 2015 1:12 AM

Ask HN: Finding a technical lead in Cambridge, MA?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8675900Over the last several months, I have tested and validated a business opportunity in the legal space. Customers are very interested - 4 or the last 5 have asked to be part of a paid Beta as soon as possible. I'd like to get something workable into customers hands as soon as possible, but am hamstrung by my technical skills.I'm by background and skillset much more business than technically oriented. I know enough Python/Django to be dangerous and have built a working proof-of-concept / demo. However, I know when I'm at the limit of my capabilities, and to take it from POC to working product, would like to bring on someone to help buildout a real product.Some of the problems that need to be solved for (many of which I've been dealing with in one capacity or another): - web scraping. Done mostly with BeautifulSoup to date + lots of custom regexes. There are a lot of corner cases to deal with. - regularly scraping 10,000s of pages and watching for changes on those pages - entity and person Nov 30, 2014 3:42 AM

Ask HN: When to use background jobs vs. one big inserthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7776649Hi HN, I'm sort of a newer coder and need some advice on building a website (I'm alright with the actual coding, it's just the processes that sometimes confuse me).I have an application where I'm using a service for embedding Youtube videos (basically you give it a url and it gives you back HTML to embed it).With background jobs, my initial insert is super fast (because the actual request to the 3rd party service happens later). Unfortunately, after the insert is done, you need to wait a little and then refresh the page for the background job to complete.Without background jobs (where I just insert and go lookup to the third party service at the same time), the initial insert is slow, but when it's done, so is the video html.I just wanted to know if any of you have had experience with this kind of problem. Thanks for any tips!May 21, 2014 4:08 AM

Ask HN: Need of a much better GitHub/Gitlab?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7618161Github [1] has become slow and the hosted solution (enterprise version) is too costly, so we have been using Gitlab which is a Github like repository hosting platform that also has issue tracking and merge/pull request based workflow and integration with its CI (gitlab-ci project).In the past couple of months, we've been facing a lot of problems for example -- Gitlab has broken our development workflow (due to bugs in it), the web hooks would stop working, the merge request diffs would be too slow to load, sometimes the ruby based backend would blow up and give us 500 etc. So, we've started working on a single page webapp based on Go and AngularJS that just does minimalistic things that we need. We wanted a tool that is easy to manage and install so we chose Go (single binary) and we wanted to keep the frontend easy to implement and use so we chose AngularJS (single page app).What are the pain points you've faced while using these tools, and what features etc. you want in it and will yApr 20, 2014 7:30 PM

Ask HN: Help 3rd Party Registering my Common Law Trademarkhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7580458I have been working as a freelance Web and Application developer for the past 6 years, operating under an unregistered mark. I live in the UK, but have had clients globally, including the EU and USA. I consider my services to be global in nature.In the USA, a company in the same market sector has decided to rebrand themselves using my mark, and has decided to initiate trademark registration for it.What are my options here? I am not a corporation, I am a sole freelancer clearing less than $50k a year before tax (I'm bootstrapping a startup and using my freelancing to support myself). I highly doubt I can afford to 'lawyer up'. Even the costs in filing an objection to the USPTO seem prohibitive, plus after reading through the site I still have no idea how to do it.I want to continue operating and marketing my services under my mark. I don't see why someone with deeper pockets should be able to seize the rights to a name I have used for the past 6 years.I have read articles on the net ranApr 13, 2014 6:24 AM
