Is this your service? Since you've made seven posts to HN about it and also your username shows up in the commits on their GitHub. Because I'm quite curious on where the IPs are from. Usually residential IPs is a fancy wording for malware infested devices from regular people.

> Is this your service? Since you've made seven posts to HN about it and also your username shows up in the commits on their GitHub. Ohh, that makes sense haha. @m00dy: please disclose when you’re talking about your own projects! It’s okay to plug your stuff sometimes, just be honest about it :-)

    No, but you weren’t upfront about it either. I’ve suspected it looked like your own project but checked your comments in the profile and didn’t see any other, so I didn’t dig any deeper. > I’m not here to promote anything just wanted to share a valid use case in the right context. There’s a small difference: if one of your users did this it would be totally fair, but when a founder does this I think it’s a polite thing to disclose it. That’s what I’ve been doing when talking about my own project on HN [1], and I think in most cases other legit founders just say that upfront, too. I’m not sure if that breaks any rules, but it feels juuuuust a bit shady not to :-) [1]: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=notpushkin%20lunni&sort=byDate&type=all https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

    Yeah I also have to fight the URL parameters on Algolia from time to time, the JS front-end seems to have some syncing bugs Makes me think I should probably have reported it, even if I found a quick-for-me workaround. Looking at the repo, though, it was discontinued several months ago. https://github.com/algolia/hn-search https://github.com/algolia/hn-search Wonder how much longer it'll be online for

  Actually should have clarified, I meant submissions not general posts. I just searched their profile's submissions and found seven mentioning proxybase. I actually didn't check their comments.

    To me, that is even worse that comments. That violates my internal rule about submarine adverts. At least they can be honest about it and add their business to their profile, and mention it when they submit.
