I really enjoyed sanity.io a year ago. It had the best data structure flexibility by a mile, with the ability to have multiple user draft states and merge conflict resolution. Other Headless CMS felt restrictive, with shared drafts or the r

Really fun to see! I'd love to have something similar for esports, like League of Legends or Rocket League. So much of the commentary feels like filler with stats and statements about a player.

I used to do this (10+ years ago), but once a few get leaked, everything else would get exposed if someone wanted to target you. Much easier to just manage randomized passwords through 1Password.

If the employer adds more friction with custom, upfront questions, they drastically reduce the quantity of applications while increasing the quality of those left. If the employer doesn't post to job boards, they reduce the quantity of

Cool idea and tech! The idea of "plug and play" for chicken ownership is pretty novel. Bet my parents would love the smart cameras. For EggsteinAI, did y'all build with CV tools like Roboflow? Or completely custom process? Wo

Is there anyway to bypass Meta on these? Or is there an open source version in the works? Interested to see what could be done locally with always-on visual capture + LLMs. Not interested in sending that data to Meta.

I was! Responded in a comment below. The public library serves the digital books directly through Amazon. Either I'm missing something more obvious or the system I've seen libraries use for digital books over the past 10 years is

Actual library that lends me ebooks (Austin). The library uses Overdrive (Libby) and anything provided in the Kindle format can't be downloaded directly from the Library's interface. You have to click a "Read now with Kindle&

From what the article says, that's doesn't appear to be true. In order to download and transfer Kindle books from the Library, I have to first add them to "My Content" on Amazon, then from the Amazon interface click &quo

This is... terrible news. This is primarily how I get books from the library. I found that if you keep the Kindle on Airplane mode and download + transfer them, they never expire. Nothing malicious. I just can't read books arbitrarily

Love the idea! Just wish you could clarify a number like you do in codenames. Otherwise, it just keeps going until all of its options are wrong.

Glad to hear someone else doing this. I feel bad not using the grow light to... you know... grow plants. But the light it provides in my office is lovely.

The thought process was tracking all candidates (not having a user-submitted number). That tracking is already happening for most marketing analytics. I'm surprised I haven't seen it show up on the job application side. As for the

I highly recommend LunchMoney ( https://lunchmoney.app/ ). It's built by a solo developer who is very responsive and continues to make the app great. Lots of automation and ability to create custom classification rules.

What would you suggest changing? I think the hard part is everyone knows that it's bad but no one has any ideas to combat the problem.

I've personally found that even when I do my best to exude interest in the industry/company through custom question responses or the cover letter that auto-rejection is still the most common end result. I'm still amazed that

I'm definitely a fan of a monthly "Meet HN" thread that others have recommended, if dang would allow it. The ability to post local events and find others currently interested in meeting up could be invaluable. The biggest bot

Y'all weren't kidding. After the first full track I knew I couldn't treat it like background music. I just gave the album an uninterrupted listen this morning. I had an outpouring of emotion. Incredibly moving. Thank you both

I eat apples almost every day and have found that some growers are just simply better than others. Have you ever looked at the sticker brand on your apples? If not, pay attention next time. Rainier has the best Honeycrisps. They're phe

As an avid board gamer, I think one of the biggest factors is page count. A big rule book makes the game feel less approachable. In the example provided at the bottom, the rewritten rulebook is ~50 pages. The original is 24. It doesn't

I'm on Android using Chrome and got the following error. "Access blocked: GenChess’s request does not comply with Google’s policies" Kinda funny to run into that error for a product published by Google.

Glad to see someone working on an alternative! Personal note - I used to be a pretty frequent user of ProductHunt. Some folks I worked with jokingly called me the SaaS King. If you had a problem, I knew of 3 tools to potentially solve it. T

Thanks for sharing this! I've always wondered why the browsers themselves can't implement this type of feature to improve the web. I assume it's some legal factor.
