Re: Thread on Hacker News

 

Wasn't aware either of the etiquette - nor could I care. The links were really useful - thanks heaps for posting them! Would be awesome to see more such posts in the future.

I wasn't aware of the etiquette, and was emailing from my phone. Copying and pasting is a little laborious so I copied both urls from a tweet - hence the shortened urls.

A front page story on HN can be a significant driver of Web traffic so I thought it worth posting both links quickly.

I'll observe the etiquette in future.

    It's polite to give any kind of description on what to expect when
    posting links.  It's downright rude to use link shorteners with no
    context.

    The first link is a comment on YCombinator, discussing an
    article.  The second link is the article in question.

    The article discusses in some detail the experience of developing
    for Ubuntu phones using the SDK, and describes his problems with
    the inadequate Ubuntu documentation.  He also provides as many
    solutions as he has been able to find:

    <http://zxstudio.org/blog/2016/04/06/experience-ubuntu-touch-development/>

    The post is overall positive, and he provides links to help
    interested new developers find their footing.

    The YCombinator comments don't seem to be related, and are just
    sort of man-on-the-ground comments, although there only appears to
    be one Ubuntu device user, and he isn't happy (but seems hopeful
    for improvements):

    Worth taking a look at.
