I hope nobody is surprised by this. $35M is insane for a launcher.

Not really. It had an ugly bug for osx so I didn't use it that much.

I got sort of used to the chrome extension, but that uses to much screen space. I want an app that takes advantage of the notification system built into OSX.

These sort of wrappers (like op's app) get really close to native apps (in terms of ui/ux).

Good job! I see that you also made a wrapper for FB Messenger. If you could do the same for Hangouts it would be awesome. Might be a bit tricky because Hangouts doesn't really have a standalone webapp right now (you might wrap the chrome extension though).

How else would you sync conversations across multiple devices? Let's not simply forget about the benefits of a decision.

If we're analyzing the video ad, it's worth mentioning the fact that people don't usually go to a coffee place with a monitor and keyboard.

This makes sense, but unfortunately not all clients are inclined into accepting propositions like these. Some clients do the research and design internally and then they hire a "consultant" to do the development part of the project.

I consider that the term "consultant" is used to freely and most of the time clients advertise that they are looking to hire a consultant when they actually want to hire a freelance developer.

Can you give an actual example of some problem that one of your clients had and how did you consult him/her?

This sounds kind of similar to what Cover was doing (they got acquired by Twitter). Hopefully Nokia has more resources to turn this into something that actually works.

There seems to be a problem with the web app. You have to wait a couple of seconds before the QR code appears.

[not a lawyer] that clause usually states that any work done on company time [time paid by the company], belongs to the company. If you work on your side project from home and you are not paid by the company for that time, the project belongs to you.

How is it possible that although this post gets only negative comments it still gets to be 3th post on front page? If everyone considers this service to be bad, then it shouldn't even get to the front page.

I don't have anything against this website, but I've seen this stuff happen before and I don't understand it.

Would be awesome to see a DIY kit for this
