I was wondering about that for a while now - it feels in my last few jobs as an EM, the major part of my work (or rather the most influential one?) was managing, coaching and guiding product. The realization was actually quite simple for me: while hiring in engineering is defined by an sometimes absurd number of interviews, code challenges and so on, product is a case study and you're good: and that doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

Building Split Flap Displays. Started 18 months ago and kept me on a super interesting learning path. First shot was using open source designs (https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap), but then kept building more and more parts myself. Coming from a software engineering background, getting into designing mechanical things – and then more importantly the electronics around it - has been really challenging, but also very rewarding. At this point I have my own screen printed flaps, custom PCB Design and a, what I consider, really smart protocol that allows me to daisy chain a basically arbitrary number of display elements. It's fun!

Great idea, definitely makes sense when you have that kind of problem.
Also the username of the author made me chuckle, bonus points for that.

Came here to say the same thing: If you're interested in seeing the traffic caused by your own app (and also making that info accessible to other stakeholders during dev time), netfox is the way to go. Super easy to integrate and provides usually enough info. Also no tinkering with the system settings or third party apps required.

So, this is something i've been working on for a while now. What it does is enable you to use cocoapods to integrate prebuilt frameworks for any pod. binpod does this by recompiling pods into a .framework and republishing that pod to its own spec repository. All you need to do is to add a line to your Podfile and you're got to go.

Just my two cents, but I just looked at http://everydaycheck.com and I think it's both a great idea and (from what I can judge) well executed.
Also one piece of advice: Do Shown HNs more often. For me, they are regularly an great source for feedback.

Sessions are ephemeral – once you close the tab or browser window, the session is gone (and the viewer will go back to the 'waiting for content' screen). This is by design – frop is meant for realtime collaboration or presentations, so having something stick around forever is not really the use case (in my head).

At the moment it's one viewer per presentation, though that limit is quite arbitrary and could be changed in the future.
I thought or considered this to be a nice-to-have but not mandatory feature, but more people keep asking for that. Always good to have some external feedback – thank you!

I like the gradient/Color-Mode Idea very much. Going to integrate that (with attribution if you don't mind).
Do you have any example regarding the Visualizations? I'm keen to learn more about that and to see if it fits in well.

Hi, thank you for your feedback!
You are right, the current feedback mechanics need some love. I'm working on that ;)
Supporting Word, Excel, PPT is also an item on the list, but since we rely on client-only processing, displaying documents consistently across platforms and browsers needs some time and work. But: On it!
