I predicted "more drama" when this thread hit the HN homepage two days ago, and now we have it. Given what's going on in the world this weekend I'm not sure a "Twitter petition for f.lux" really should be on the top of our minds. But apparently the people behind f.lux think it should.

Perhaps we could avoid making HN part of their ongoing social media awareness campaign? Happy to talk about technology features, happy to debate what I feel are highly-suspect medical claims being made on their site that defy common sense. But I'm not excited to debate open vs free vs app store twice in the same weekend over an app that so very obviously goes against Apple's core vision for their products.

If and when Apple chooses to offer such functionality, it certainly won't look and behave like f.lux does. And I'm equally certain Apple won't make such wild claims regarding alleged health benefits.
