Cryptowatcher for Swift will let you fetch data from all of the cryptowat.ch endpoints decoded as structs using Codable, which was introduced in Swift 4. Happy hacking!
Some good points as far as getting noticed in the app store. We're definitely not giving up, though. We've submitted a new app which is a pretty big follow-up to Whim based on What we learned, but is fundamentally different enough to not be called Whim. In addition there were some legal issues with the name "Whim", so it made sense to just shut down the app and focus fully on the next app we've submitted.
What if the code is compiled remotely? If it's a web app, that makes sense because you could then view it in a browser. Of course no compilation necessary for rails and it's colleagues.
Xcode already has distributed compilation support. I've never used Visual Studio, so I can't comment on if it has support or not. Either way, a cloud-like compiler 'front-end' might be a decent idea, as long as you factor in the CPU costs involved. Compiling C family languages is a rather intensive task.
1) "Do you mean something like an automatic check-in based on your current location?" - gowall doesn't like this, see: , more of a reminder service maybe? It's open to interpretation what you'd do with the information once you could predict someones intent to check in.
2) Twitter leaves a lot to be desired for spontaneous event organization. What if all of your friends aren't on twitter, or you need a minimum number of people to confirm before, say making reservations? Twitter is still a tool that can get you part of the way there most of the time.
3) Thanks, maybe it'd start as targeting startups.
4) Clarification on this idea coming.
5) It's a huge interface challenge for sure, I hope someone figures it out.
Agree with Ben on #2 - Twitter is far from a being a satisfactory solution for spontaneous group organization. As it has evolved to be increasing about sharing news, tweets are quick to slip below the fold unless you've limited your following to only your closest friends (and they aren't heavy users). The feed simply isn't conducive to organizing events that are tied to a specific time and only involve a subset of your social network.
I love grooveshark too, but #4 is really about letting people who spend lots of time on something like grooveshark selecting music earn revenue by sharing the music they've selected.
I probably should have been more clear. The concept I was thinking of is more like a premium, maybe invite-only last.fm. This is really about empowering the people who really work hard to find good music and servicing the people who really love good music.
I could definitely see a use for this. While digital distribution is rapidly making record stores obsolete, there still certainly is a need for the guys behind the counter who knows way, way more about music than you ever will (think Jack Black and John Cusack in High Fidelity).
The ideas are worthless argument has been made more than enough, that's not the purpose of this post. I think your argument that "Most decent ideas need great execution, and a lot of great ideas need good execution since they are easily copyable" makes sense. My goal, and the purpose of this post, is to share my ideas, for the motivations explained in the post.
