iOS Ref – a quick reference site for iOS developers

In plain words

The site includes iOS compatibility information, a hex code to UIColor converter, device screen resolution tables, and other resources developers need during coding.

  Together with my partner, we are bootstraping a service that allows product designers (and actually startup founders) to find design references from real life product (web and iOS). Why is this important and why does it even work? Every designer spends up to 6 hours a week (we've talked to over 100 of our users to make sure) looking at references on sites like Dribbble and Behance for sources of inspiration.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
