Hi HNers,

In That Box is a side project I've been working on, partially as a way to learn more about iOS development.

Last week I released the latest version which adds a number of new features and brings it past MVP status. I'd love to hear what you think about the app. I've included some promo codes below -- if you like the app I'd really appreciate a review on the app store.

Thanks, Matt

Please comment when you use a code so people know which are used!

Promo codes (US only):

Used RK69X6HHY9MH. Been looking for something like this for a while. Will write a review after using it for a couple of days.

Used FY9JLX9PR6H6. Thanks. I take it you've read Makers by Cory Doctorow?
mmorris
I never have read it, but I will definitely check it out. Looks like it's even available for free online.

Ya Doctorow writes everything under creative commons or some such license. I mentioned it because there's a fictional technology very similar to your app in it

Great idea, but I suspect too painful to type in contents. How about this...let me take multiple photos while filling the box, integrate it with your website, then later I can inventory items I want to by viewing the pictures for each box. Or if not, i can quickly skim through boxes and just look at the pics if i'm looking for something.

Typing on a regular keyboard is a must. Website integration is a must. I'd use an online app like that for lots of things, especially if it bad a nice iPhone app. I've been unable to find my travel router twice in the last 6 months, even though I swore I wouldn't forget where I put it each time!!

How long until RFID tags are cheap enough that we can just attach one to every new thing we purchase?

I've been planning to integrate a web-based version, but I hadn't considered the photos first, title later idea. I'll have to think about how it would in to the existing interface, but that certainly seems like it has potential. Thanks for the suggestion!
