What HN said

What people liked

  • Beautiful, delightful design

    From 3 comments
    • YES YES YES I have wanted something just like this for so long. I want a nice high-level view of which "optional" tasks I'm doing. Am I learning French for half an hour a day?…

    • I don't usually write comments on HN, but this app is so beautiful and tasteful that I just had to get it out. If I'd be allowed to use one word, I'd use "Delightful". Well done,…

  • Simplicity without bloat

    From 2 comments
    • Haven't tried it but looks nice. My input would be to resist the urge to add features. A lot of what makes these simple mobile apps great is the simplicity. I used a checklist…

    • Looks interesting, but too complicated (for me). The beauty of Continuo is its simplicity. It feels like the dashboard to my life, without the effort of tracking everything to…

    • Looks really nice, I love the concept behind it, and avoiding trying to quantify everything. Of course I have to ask the obligatory 'Any timeline for an android release'? If not,…

Objections

  • App crashed on iPhone 6+ after tapping Add an activity; maker says fixed

    • For anyone using an iPhone 6+ experiencing a crash: It's a memory issue specific to the 6+, and I've submitted an update that corrects this. Apple's doing an expedited review, so…

    • Update: The fixed version is live, and I have confirmation that it's working correctly on iPhone 6+.

  • Swipe direction on a screen was confusing

    From 2 comments
    • I can't seem to get past the blue landing page that says CONTINUO > > > on it. Server issues? I like the screenshots, and look forward to trying it out. I'm on an iphone 5, btw.

    • I've got to say, this did trip me up too. I was trying to swipe the screen in the direction of the arrows, which it seems was the wrong way. It's beautiful, but that particular…

  • Multi-device sync

    From 1 comment
    • Is the data stored on the device / does it sync across multiple devices if I have an iPhone + iPad or similar? Also, one thing that would be cool to see is an API, so I can poll…

  • More reminders, customizable per activity

    From 1 comment
    • Beautiful! I can totally see myself using this. I'm sure it's in the works, but I'd pay to have more reminders and (maybe) reminders that are also customizable for a particular…
