Exercise, and in particular 30 minutes or more, every day, has been successful as one of the best forms of preventive medicine out there. It's highly effective against progression in depression, anxiety, knee arthritis, frank diabetes, and many other illnesses. One of the best videos that illustrates the benefits is 23 1/2 by Dr. Mike Evans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUaInS6HIGo

We based our app on the notion of moving at least 30 minutes every day. We've had very positive feedback from people that cope with depression and/or anxiety. Would love your feedback: http://human.co


"omg I'm so afraid of change!"


Ok, I'll bite.

Rolling your own GUI should be done when the native OS GUI doesn't meet the expectation or needs of your application. A custom GUI may not play nicely with accessibility and may look increasingly alien with OS updates.

I don't see any advantage to using the iOS look, and it only added to my confusion when downloading. I wasn't sure if it was at first looking at the screen shot an app that required an iOS component.

1) No maximize dot, I wasn't sure if the window was resizable until I moved my mouse to the corner

2) No Resize in icon in upper right hand corner

3) Lack of menus (really, ever action must be found in the gui?)

4) clicking off the app window does not "grey" out the title bar letting me know its not the front window.

5) Close/minimize icons do not highlight on click

6) Settings fields cannot be tabbed between

7) Settings cannot use keyboard controls for the cancel / save like OS native dialogs

These are just the errors I noticed while writing this post. The app looks like it could be a nice MAMP alternative.


Great work, guys.


We'd love to invite you over to get to know the startup scene here better. What does it take to steal PG away from YC for a day or two?


Just a very big thank you for this. That we have a product out there doesn't mean we're saying we've solved the problem. It's feedback like this that's making us better. Again, thank you.


We're diving into NFC - although still doesn't solve even half of the problem.

And something physical? Like cassettes? CDs? Newspapers?


Sorry about the belated reply, but what I meant to say that something tangible will always have a higher value than anything that is intangible. So while the business cards are really a great idea, it's gonna be a bitch to get people to use them. People prefer to have the cards in their hands, each one representing something individual, while E on the other hand represents the combination of all separate information onto one thing. Also, because business cards are physical, people other than those intended are able to find them and create opportunities. Finally, business cards are like the magic rabbit in my black hat of a wallet. I always seem to be able to pull one out that I need at random. It's less likely that I will find the business card of somebody I'm not looking for, if I'm not looking for a business card in the first place. Business cards help me by making sure I have contacts with whomever I want, whether or not I look for them. The only way I can think of this being implemented is if there is a card randomizer that pops up with a random card each time I look at the collection. I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense and also I hope that this will be read, as I believe it should be taken into consideration.


Valid arguments, we're working to make everything easier each day. Thanks for the lengthy response!


Fixed! Thanks.


'Guesstimates'.


... can also be wrong?


Very much so - the graphic is very much tongue in cheek though, can be taken lightly.



yeah, I saw the vid.... it's not really the same though, is it?


Nope. Notes on E get pushed back into the cloud. Notes on cards get stained. ;)


touché ;)
