Maybe the button with the phone icon could be green and much larger than the other buttons. I think that would make it easier for users of this app to understand and remember where they need to tap to call the person on the screen.

Any chance you still have that article around? I would like to read it if possible.

> Simply bookmarking the article itself to read later [...]

I actually send the HN discussion itself to my Reading List. So when I find some time I start with the comments here and then decide whether or not I should read the article. And tbf most of the times I get enough information here and never follow the link to the main reading.

Did you explain your thoughts about the ideal mattress some time ago maybe? I'd say I already read those same arguments before and found them extremely interesting.

It's usually easier to just look for the paper somewhere else once you've decided you want to read it your own way. In this case, you can find it here [0]. As they often show kind-of-classic papers, many of them are publicly available through a Google search.

After using several different blogging platforms/tools, I finally decided to use instead a GitHub repo for my notes. Something really simple that lets me 1) create a note in plain Markdown, and 2) run a publi.sh script. That's all. After that, the note is already in my GitHub repo ready to be ctrl-f'ed when I'm looking for something I know I documented. In case anyone is interested I used this tool [0], but it was first time in my life creating a Bash script, so fairly assume the code is, well... you know :)

If you were a developer with 10 yoe looking for something new to get into, what would you choose at this moment and thinking about the near future: Haskell, Scala or F#?
