Really cool - fun to see your notes and a break down of the work over time that was committed to the project!

We've recently released an app on iOS that has ads and is aimed at a younger audience. We have an option to remove the ads and it comes with an added ability to put a childlock on in app messaging. Later when we add a store into the app we will add features to lock it further because we want to do right by our customers who we hope include parents of kids.

What I didn't expect was the slump in sales we make from ad removal offerings. We make more money from the ads than from purchases of ad removal. I see a lot of folks say "I'll pay for a no ads experience" but the reality is most folks will continue to use the app with the ads even when the option to remove them exists.

Adding code to handle ad removal is another feature which takes time to develop and keep up to date as APIs and system versions change. Sadly, it may not be lucrative enough for most developers to put that effort in to provide the option.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the name. I was confused.

From the FAQ: Will lectures be recorded? Because this is a student initiated course, the lectures won't be recorded.

This. I'm taking the class now. Octave is invaluable and I wouldn't be able to complete the course without it. I've donated and agree that anyone that takes the course to contribute too.

As a privacy concern I didn't want to give up my facebook information so I backed out of trying it.

The point where I became hesitant and backed out was when it showed my picture and said you wanted my public profile, friend list and email address. Why would this site need my friends list?

Am I dead? I haven't participated much in conversation but I know the few posts I made awhile back didn't get much response.

So cool. The best part is sometimes the randomly generated names are aptly appropriate.

I was worried it would come off as spam. shrug

The design firm he works for does very high profile work. He expressed he enjoyed making the logo for my startup. According to him smaller companies like progressive and exciting logos. I just thought I'd post it here. Hackernews has been a great community to me and this seemed like a really nice opportunity.
