Awesome a comment. Thanks so much for the feedback holyjaw. I have a lot to learn both about Hacker News and about how to tell people about my app in the best way.
Great point. My intention for this title was to explain the key features and uses for my app in as little space as possible, so that people who might be interested in trying it would get a chance to see it. Hacker News titles are very limited in space and I struggle with what to use for a title. I wondered if using just the key features in the title got more to the point of what the main uses and features of my app are.
But thanks very much. Point taken. It sounds like you'd rather people use a sentence title instead of comma separated values like I did here. If I'm wrong about this let me know. I'll definitely consider this if I make another post to Hacker News. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Thanks pmx. Before I had the beta ready and up I posted just the screenshots to Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/2jss4e/dev_snea...) using the following title. It was too long for HN, especially with the Show HN: TextFile at the front.
"Dropbox Android app to keep your notes, lists, drafts, and tasks in text files."
But anyway, do you guys like that better or do those commas still bug you a bit? Of course if you have any ideas let me know. Thanks again. I'm at a point where the more feedback I get about anything the better, because I don't know what the heck I'm doing :)
If you have any questions, feedback, ideas, or thoughts of any kind please post them here and I will read them all with interest and hopefully reply to questions or comments. I don't know what to expect by posting this here. It's my first app that I will hopefully be releasing.
