I built this app to solve an annoying problem I had while living in San Francisco. My landlord was very strict about how they accepted rent payments given the strict housing laws for the city. They only accepted checks from a single person on the rental agreement. This was fine at first– I just used my bank Simple's BillPay. But one day Simple killed that feature so I had to do things the old...

Alerty is a web app that allows anyone to send real-time push notifications to their phone with little to no code. One perk of being a home-screen web app is that you can customize the app icon and title, giving you the perfect look for notifications.

Already tons of great content here and looking forward to learning more!

Looks great. Couple of notes: When using j and k to navigate I'm hearing a bell noise each time, is that intentional? Also, are you guys focusing on performance? I know inbox was built with 60fps in mind, and first glance the native app seems to be slower than the web version. Would also be interested in hearing about plans for fine-tuned notification control. Still really excited to see this...

looks really neat. what kind of file sizes do you get from this, and is it easy to tweak compression?

Just picked one up. Seems like a better alternative to hunting down a tiny screwdriver only to be disappointed the next day when my glasses are already loose again. I've even gone in multiple times to get my glasses adjusted, but they aren't able to keep shape from all the pillow time they get.

Do you plan to support tinnitus sufferers? It would interesting if you could cancel out frequencies to avoid over stimulation.

This looks really great. The only thing I feel like I'd be spending money on though is the nice UI, and maybe the menu bar button. Is that really worth it when there are lots of other free options out there?

I spend way to much of my day managing my own schedule. Esper covers small tasks and scheduling for you, so you can focus on what's important. Sort of like an invisible app - all you have to do is cc your virtual assistant. The key is that they aren't trying to replace humans with software (at least for now), but instead they are writing great scheduling software for their executive assistants...
