Really good suggestions. I appreciate the feedback. I am definitely going to increase the quality of the gif, and figure out a way to include a demo of the product.
You're absolutely right. Even me being the creator of this the one vibe I get when using the product is "well this is not very intuitive". I'm going to be optimizing for that over the next few weeks. Thanks for the gut check.
I understand what you are saying, but have yet to encounter any of the same problems. I didn't know I could create aliases in bash though, so that really invalidates that portion of my article. Thanks for pointing that out. I will certainly look into that, and if I have any of the same problems I will certainly think about just switching back to bash and using aliases.
Horrible border around the image. And no mention of your inspiration? Come on man, you even use the same spelling type. We can't change the border? Seriously...that's ridiculous.
Exactly! None of the previous submissions had made it to the front page, so I googled for "rockstar apple patent troll" and submitted this link and totally forgot about it afterwards. Now I woke up and saw it's on the front page and I'm very happy that many are now familiar with the issue :-)
I agree. I like to pay Dropbox because in doing that I know what I am getting. I know they aren't selling my data, or my privacy because I actually know what I am purchasing. I am giving my money over to them for a service they offer. "Free, unlimited" is just something that I have a few concerns with. The first, would be that I have no idea how they make their money (probably advertisement?), but if not they are perhaps selling your data or privacy to third parties. Of course, there is an option that it is run by someone with just so much money that they don't mind giving it all away for free. But that is very rare. The second concern I have is how long can a free and unlimited service stay up. This is why I have moved my stuff out of Bitcasa after testing it, even though after an SSH I realized I had over 300 Terabytes to store items. I just can't justify those sorts of things though in my own sense. So yeah, I agree spidey-senses be a tinglin'.
If we use your service do you have any terms for selling an app on the store? Do we have to give you a % or can we just freely do what we wish/if we pay your service?
Thanks mate.
