Are you referring to the analytics tracking (a la Google Analytics) or enforcing limits on user activity? For a GA alternative there are many and what you should look for is an analytics provider (if you don't want to self host) that r

This is a nice article, echoes my thoughts a little better than the other post [1] on thd front page right now. That said, there are strong competitors to Google Analytics, that's the one take I don't agree with. With Portabella (

I run a business that competes with those companies you mentioned, it's called Portabella ( https://portabella.io ), an end-to-end encrypted and privacy friendly alternative. We have a free plan that basically locks you down

Hey HN, recently I shipped PrivaNote ( https://privanote.xyz ), and also took some time to write a tutorial on how it works. When looking for new apps to use, I always have a preference for them to be end-to-end encrypted. Hopeful

Portabella ( https://portabella.io ) is my primary focus (side project wise) right now. The long and short of it is: privacy friendly and end-to-end encrypted project management. Think Asana/Trello/Jira but end-to-end en

Ha, I made something similar last year https://github.com/AlexBHarley/skipper . It adds a keyboard shortcut to take you to the next top level comment. I think it's broken now because I did it in a really hacky way.

Don't think it matters so much but when negotiating salary, abuse it! One definition of seniority I use: - requires a base level of knowledge. 5 years at least of development but less if you've done tons of side projects / ov

Interesting, I was just looking at Qwant this morning. They seem different to other search engines in that they actually have their own index rather than just proxying to another engine (e.g. Bing)

Yeah I chatted with Tom (primary guy behind Etebase) the other day, definitely passionate about this space and knows what he's doing. Etebase didn't exist earlier this year when I wanted to build Portabella, but I think it's

Social media is a tricky one because it's got such a bus factor wrt. usage, however I'm pleasantly surprised at the abundance of products coming out where you (your data, that is) are _not_ the product. Analytics - Fathom ( https:

I see in another comment that users have a key pair generated for them. What you can do is fetch other users public keys and encrypt data to them, or better yet, generate a symmetric key for a project and encrypt that to trusted users. It&#

Fuck. Shit sucks. I myself have dealt with long lasting (> 1 month) pain and it's horrific. Your whole perspective changes, you think life will never be the same. I can't imagine what it's like when these issues stretch in

Cool! Did you know about https://arcentry.com/ when you started this? Sorry on mobile so I won't look at your commit history to see if you started before. I know the guy behind arcentry so just curious.
