I think news paywalls need to be bundled in not with other newspapers but other subscription services.

I'd kill for a Netflix/Spotify/choose-your-newspaper all in one bundle.


Cheers!

Nothing planned at the moment, but I've been thinking about it. Hard to sync events with times into a diary where there is no concept of time. Even harder to go back the other way.


Hi Dan,

I didn't do too much research to be honest. As a beginner, in-app purchasing looked a bit daunting, so I decided to start simple with an up-front cost. I chose the Tier 2 price so I can run promos to the Tier 1 ($0.99) price from time to time.

Down the track I might look at making it free with in-app purchase or something though.


Hi kadder,

No I didn't, except for the Twitter-designed emoji and a few icons from an icon pack I purchased. I looked at many libraries for the month view but I ended up just making it myself so I could control exactly how it looked and felt.


It does look a bit weird doesn't it!


Thanks! Looking at implementing something similar as a week view for the app.


The biggest problem I have had with travel planning startups is that many of them focus too much and too quickly on monetisation - often leading to a poor user experience.

When I'm travel planning, I like to somewhat explore the destination (like reading a guide book) and think about what to do, where to stay etc -- rather than being immediately shown a list of hotels & airfares.


Have a look at http://owegoo.com I talked to the founder yesterday. Basically they are a search engine for destinations. Good if you know what to do but not where to go.


Yeah, we launched http://owegoo.com just a few months ago, trying to solve a few of these problems. Please hit me with feedback - here or at sofia@owegoo.com!


Someone should really make an 'Airbnb' for High Speed Internet Connections around the world. Hotels, universities, internet cafes, business centres - a lot of businesses would pay to find high speed internet locations around the world for business trips


There is commitcoffee.com, which goes a tiny step towards that for coffee shops


Also works much more reliably in foreign countries where Google services may be slow/blocked


The launch of the iPhone 5s/5c, we saw price rises in Australia due to the Aussie dollar.

I think it's likely we'll see similar price rises on the release of the new iPads shortly
