I spent half my day following your launch, and it looked like things were going downhill pretty quickly. How have things been since? You turned on your paid subscription signup?

Damn, I have a few of these. I keep them backed up to a RAID setup but still disappointing to hear.

Years ago I tried to install and sign up for Turo on iOS to rent out a car I owned. It was a luxury car with a rebuilt title. After I put in the VIN of the car, I received an error, and inexplicably I was banned from the app. No notificatio

I heard recently (on Lex Fridman's podcast with Marc Andreessen) that Oppenheimer was called a "cry-baby scientist" by President Truman, and that his groveling campaign was considered by many to be self-aggrandizing, albeit i

Cool, I've had "add a personal calendar appointment scheduler feature" on my backlog for months, and for some reason I just didn't want to do Calendly. Maybe it's because I'm pretty averse to overgrown SaaS? I

Surprised to hear no mention of Obsidian ( https://obsidian.md/ ). I switched from Evernote to Notion years ago and finally switched beginning of this year from Notion -> Obsidian. Top reasons: - local first files stored i

It seems like there's a lot of recent interest and effort in open-source or self-hosted Notion-like/markdown-with-widgets applications and platforms. AppFlowy ( https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy ) comes t

So, to mitigate, avoid changing Github organization names if possible, and if not, preserve / re-register the former organization name to prevent impersonation?

My first 5 minutes have been positive. I've worked for years on a similar platform but never expected to have the time to ship, so I appreciate that you've implemented a few patterns/features that I was hoping for, namely tag

Really? Why would they fire that off from the client as a separate call? Thanks for the heads’ up, will check out.

I pretty strongly disagree with this take. I’ve used Reddit for over a decade almost entirely as a “lurker” meaning without an account. The majority of what I watched and read has depended on that reaching the “front page of the internet.”

It's funny that I can think of a few legitimate use cases for this type of service: - Deploying a new brand identity. I've worked with larger marketing agencies that may create many dozens of brands in a given month, and the proce

I've been working on this for awhile now and I'd love to chat. I'll send you an email.

I think it's very clear that the recent LLM boom is directly responsible for Twitter, Reddit, and others quickly moving to restricted APIs with exorbitant pricing structures. I don't think these orgs really care much about third-p

I worked with an electrical engineer who disclosed to me a mid 8 figures investment made by a PE firm to develop Ethereum FPGA and ASIC hardware, and while he told me they were underwater on that deal, they did achieve (IIRC) 30%+ performan

Depending on the Terms of Service flavor your platform of choice serves you, it’s generally that you own the content you post, but grant an infinite, irrevocable license to use that content for just about any reason, including as an entry i

You’re right, but I think it’s also pretty clear that A) there is demand for functionality that depends on semi-real-time data, e.g. a prompt like “explain {recent_trending_topic} to me and describe its evolution” where the return could be

Sad to see no mention of the Motorola Q (1) which I got in 2006. My first mobile phone was also my first ‘smartphone’ with a full keyboard. I didn’t have any cellular service (I was a child) so I downloaded a ~2gb package with 350,000 text-

I have the same tendency to fixate on small, relatively unimportant tasks when faced with unrewarding difficult work. The technique I’ve used to channel this to my benefit is to “take a break” from such work by accomplishing mundane tasks,

A weekend in jail for an equipment violation, or for the failure to appear? Either way, that’s absurd and really is emblematic of how inefficient the American justice system is.

Sorry, didn't mean to ring any bells - but hey, you've made #1, so hopefully a little heads' up was helpful!

Site hung for me (us-east) on the first few tries. Get ready for the HN hug, Ashley! I've never used any animation tools, and it's been on my list to make a few basic logo animations in css/js. It's striking how many fea

I’ve been hesitating using ChatGPT for copywriting, in the same way I haven’t used Copilot for anything other than exploration. Part of my resistance is “the principle” in the sense that I’m sick of SEO spam. Part is because I’m concerned I

That strangeloop talk inspired me to explore a lot of things, including my methodology for writing command phrases that are phonetically distinct and succinct. Glad to hear Talon is still around! Their slack has grown and they really seem l

I just really appreciate the candid GTD attitude you guys have. Having just spent 2 weeks migrating from Notion to Obsidian, investing dozens of hours obsessing over various features that save me <5 minutes/day, your “marketing” sty

I remember awhile ago, maybe 5-8 years back (wow, time) I went to log into Twitter, and was confronted with a dark pattern: enter my phone number to access my account. No other option. I only used my Twitter account on occasion, and after t

This matches my experience eerily well, especially the "one unit deeper" aspect. I feel like I can voluntarily summon this experience in my mind and travel through it forever. It feels frightening, in a way, being confronted with
