This is a great idea! It's definitely not a solution for every project, but giving the option to developers is always good, especially in a modern development environment that doesn't always fairly compensate the developers of certain open source projects that more then millions use across the planet. Thank you for this!

This application absolutely oozes design. It’s very fun to use tracking movies, comes with not only the standard in show tracking, Trakt, but also iCloud backups, and has fast loading times and seems to be bug free in my use so far. The developer has gone a long way since building his first app, TV Time, which I also use.
The only thing I’d want? For all the improvements from Movie Time to...

I actually haven't found any issues yet while using my Body+ scale. However, it is sad that Nokia took a working product and broke it massively for others. I will say, once the app is working again, I'm glad that Nokia gave it a refresh. The old app was just weird UI design-wise, and I'm glad it's a little more modern!

Something that they didn't mention during the conference, (as Nintendo is want to do): The Nintendo Switch will come with an Xbox Gold/PS Plus subscription. The details are as follows: http://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/
Essentially, to use online multiplayer as well as dedicated chat lobbies and party features, you'll need to pay up. But, it will come with a free NES or SNES...

While these games are good, I would recommend staying away from the mobile ports. Slow framerate, bad virtual controls, etc. Especially for a difficult game like Mega Man, these are not good flaws to have.

Interesting! Youtube Gaming, while a very pretty site/app, never really gave anything different besides a UI change and different discovery network for Youtube. If they make this available only on the Youtube Gaming site, there might be more of a reason to use this new platform. Curious to see how it goes!

To be honest, the amount of things Facebook is putting its hat into is making me nervous. First of all, Facebook isn't the most well-designed or ethical of companies when giving light of its backend setup, privacy issues, or A/B testing procedures. Plus, they seem to almost be taking a Google-like stance where they feel like they can just try anything and believe it will work.

I started testing this app a few days ago. I wasn't really looking for a new productivity tracker, as I was still testing good ol' RescueTime once again to see if I could somehow make it work in my productivity chain. But after using the app for a few days I was floored by how dead-simple it was to use, and how unlike other productivity trackers, it didn't guilt-trip me, but actually helped...

Nice! The Slack Emoji picker is something of sheer beauty. A way to implement something similar in React? I'm so excited to use this in some personal projects!

This is really awesome. Trying out all sorts of ways to get me to do things I really don't like, I never found something that was good besides sheer will. Most apps/services ended up annoying me instead of actually helping me achieve my goal. Something in the physical space with just a message I send and not a complicated GUI seems to be more like a winner. I'm excited to try this out! ...
