Show HN: Export/embed a Dropbox folder as a gallery
http://fourtonfish.com/#dropshow
Hi all.

I'm working on a small web app that lets you export/embed any Dropbox folder as an HTML gallery.

Some technical details: The app requires full Dropbox access, but this is only to get a list of folders and navigate through them. No files are stored on my server, everything is done through Dropbox and your browser. The whole things is done in javascript/jQuery using the "official" javascript implementation of the Dropbox API (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdk).

Usage: After logging into Dropbox and connecting the app, choose a folder with images you want to use. After it's loaded, you can either save the gallery inside the app's folder in your Dropbox (generated files will include time and date of creation) and optionally download the HTML file directly from Dropbox or click the Embed button to get the HTML code.

You can see a more detailed how-to with screenshots at www.fourtonfish.com/dropshowgallery/howto

The app is in a pretty early stage, but I would like to start getting feedback and make sure the core of the app is working. I plan to add customization options for the gallery, different styles etc.

Direct link: www.fourtonfish.com/dropshowgallery

A note: I don't think this should be a problem yet, but just in case: while the app is in development mode, only 100 users can connect to it (5 slots are already taken) - this is a Dropbox limitation.

I would appreciate any feedback on the app (design, functionality etc).

Thanks in advance, have a great day everyone :)
Putting employees' smartphones to work
http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-20020818-266.html
Two years ago, casino giant Harrah's Entertainment needed to cut costs. One of the first places managers looked was cell phones.As the company evaluated its business, one of the quickest and least painful ways to reduce its yearly budget by more than $1 million a year was to change its cell phone policy. Specifically, the company started allowing its employees to use their own cell phones for work.

Hidden iOS6 Ad-Tracking settings
http://board.protecus.de/download.php?id=358290.ios-adtracking.jpg
Does anyone know more about the hidden Ad-Tracking setting?
General → About → Info → Advertisement
To be sure, i just deactivated it! 😋

Content:

Ad Tracking

iOS 6 introduces the Advertising Identifier, a non-permanent, non-personal, device identifier, that apps will use to give you more control over advertisers’ ability to use tracking methods. If you choose to limit ad tracking, apps are not permitted to use the Advertising Identifier to serve you targeted ads. In the future all apps will be required to use the Advertising Identifier. However, until then you may still receive targeted ads.
Norwegian Military Mash-up: Virtual Reality + Actual Tanks

How do obvious scam apps make it to top 10 paid in iOS App Store?
If you've used an iPhone, you must've seen applications that claim to "improve your battery life" or "track any cell phone in the world using sophisticated government-level technology" in top positions in the store. The latter app, for instance, is a prank that only find location of your own phone.

Current top 10 includes "Fingerprint Protector," an app that claims to add a fingerprint scanner to your phone, with a long convincing description and one sentence mentioning that it's a prank. The description ends with "It works. Guaranteed 100%!!!!!!"

Usually these apps have a small number of reviews (most one star, of course.) It seems like these apps fall off (or get killed?) periodically and then come back with another name and a similar description.

In this case, a scammer is likely netting thousands $ per day while some hard-working developers on this board may be struggling to promote their apps.

Or perhaps no "blackhat" tactics are at play and the users are just gullible and buy anything that sounds catchy.

Ask HN: Sign up for my HN November side project beta: Minklinks
http://www.minklinks.com/
As an alternative to NaNoWriMo I decided I'd do the HN November Launchpad - see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1773398 for more details.

My project is now underway, there's code checked in and some basic functionality, but I need people to sign up for the beta (either next week or the week after) to try the app out.

Basically Minklinks is an anti-social bookmark sharing service. It creates a personal bookmarklet where you can send links to your friends with one click. I wanted to write this as my wife and I send lots of links to each other, and I was fed up with signing into e-mail on which ever computer I found the link on.

The Multiverse, Quantum Immortality and the Meaning of Life
http://www.scitechexplained.com/2010/06/theory-of-nothing-written-by-russell-k-standish-the-multiverse-quantum-immortality-and-the-meaning-of-life/
If Quantum Immortality is true and you can experience only your own survival then imagine this: You buy a lottery ticket; after that you create a room with a sufficient number of guns guns pointed at your head (for added redundancy – i.e. a big number guarantees your death if they fire at the same time). The triggering system is connected to a sufficiently secure data channel that will guarantee the security of the connection (i can’t imagine a 100% secure network but for the present matter we’ll accept this premise) through which it will receive the lottery numbers. The guns will be programmed to fire at your head at the same time if the lottery numbers do not match the ticket you played.

Rate My Startup: Vye Music
Hey HN,

Presenting: Vye Music. Recently re-launched / re-vamped, it's a mashup of Last.fm and YouTube (http://vyemusic.com) with some funky extra sauce to spice things up. The idea was to create something to take advantage of YouTube's awesome music catalogue, without just using the normal YouTube search API (which other YouTube music sites do for some reason) and present it all in a visually appealing way, which I think music fans and general internet users will appreciate.

By using the Last.fm music data (I hope) the experience is a bit cleaner, and there's some additional functionality with being able to upload your iTunes library (as an XML file) and move all your tune-age to the cloud. Of course the usual playlists / library thing is all there as well, and radio mode for the more adventurous audiophiles out there!

Anyway check it out, let me know what you think works/doesn't and if you have any ideas for how to improve the thing. Really appreciate any feedback, and maybe you'll find Vye Music an enjoyable music site (or maybe not, let me know why :D) --

Thankss

Responsive Multi-Level Menu

The main idea is to save space for menus that have a lot of content and sub-levels. Each sub-level in this menu will be shown in its own context, making the “parent” level disappear. This is done with subtle animations that are defined in separate animation classes. The menu is fluid so that it can be used easily in a responsive layout.

Ask HN: Strategies for managing the proliferation of office SaaS products?
This tweet (https://twitter.com/gossipbabies/status/1487161069143576576) resonated with me and I wonder how common my experience is. Working at smallish web software companies over the past few years I have observed a trend toward increasingly many specialized SaaS products for stuff that might previously have been handled by (for example) emails, spreadsheets and documents.

Are you seeing this as well? What kinds of systemic issues do you think might arise from this sort of change? Have you, or your organizations, evolved any strategies for balancing operational complexity and information siloing against the perceived benefits of this kind of SaaS specialization?
