Welp, this changes my 2024 outlook. I've been using Airplane.dev since their first post on HN, and I was repeatedly delighted with the way the product "just worked", I thought they made great choices about code vs. config vs.

This seems like it could be cool, but I would need an actual product screenshot or a demo video on the website to move forward. And the "Learn more" link inside the Your Design Assistant section doesn't point anywhere.

Agreed, if anything this placebo finding supports your idea that the experience mediates the improvement more than the chemical itself. I once attended a talk by a neuroscientist at UCSF, Adam Gazzaley, that really helped me see what the fu

Ten years ago I was told to never use Git submodules. Five years ago I inherited a project that had four repos sharing a Git submodule. Now I tell people to never use Git submodules.

That was my first thought too, but I don't see why that would be categorized as a 'harrowing experience.'

I was struck by this sentence: "I have no message for suffering humanity and, though I was bullied at school and lost my virginity like so many of us used to do in the old days, I have never been tempted to foist these and other harrow

I really like this. I keep bouncing between text-based todo lists and more visual/kanban tools, so this feels like the best of both worlds. (If I could stand the airtable/notion database view those tools would be great, but alas.)

I would need an example project (the final product and template inside the tool) to give this a try. As it stands you just get dumped into the builder with no guidance whatsoever. I wanted to evaluate the tool, but there's no way I cou

Could someone explain how this compares to Next.js?

How does one come to that figure?

I do. I met one of the founders about six months ago and got a single serving to try (before they started using the tubes). A couple weeks ago I compared it head to head against starbucks Via while backpacking. Sudden Coffee totally blew St

I read this as: "We've built our own APIs by automating the purchase process on the state lottery websites."

Buried under the shitty attitude, there is actually a useful comment here. Remember HN is the sum of it's parts. Be a postitive part.

Good idea and nice design. 1. I'd prefer to see monthly pricing. 2. I found the scroll behavior to be quite jarring. Good luck.

It sounds like your QA team believes their purpose is to test that basic functionality is working as intended. This puts the focus on "checking the boxes" and not exploring edge cases or applying their deep knowledge of your produ

Allowing their applicant list to be used for unsolicited marketing seems out of character for YC. Has either party confirmed this? I'm skeptical.

I think you mean undercutting , or predatory pricing. Price gouging is when you use a monopolisitic position to charge an unreasonably high amount.

There is a strong assumption here that you could encourage hundreds of people to express their opinion on this someone's shirts. The value for the poster is clear; what is the value for the voter?

Are the integration tests driven by selenium, phantomjs/casper, or something else?

This article seems to indicate that YC participated in the series A. Is this correct, and has YC done this before?

Please comment or downvote if I shouldn't even feed the trolls or the inept international HN hucksters. The term you are looking for is a "CMS". Good luck.

Same here. Is there an app with traction that helps people like us find fellow hackers to collaborate with. If not, sounds like an idea right there. Want to help build it?

This also drove my crazy. My Temporary Fix: revert to the old school GMail, and select the theme "Preview (dense)".

Where are you losing people? If no one is clicking get started, address the homepage first. If people look at products but still don't buy, start with your products page. 1. Are you performing split testing on major components of your landi

1. looks great. I would suggest fixing the next button vertically so that it doesn't get pushed down by apps with long descriptions.

I second this. I'm currently guilty of doing exactly what the OP is describing. The free tier was slightly too small for my needs, so I'm using two accounts for development. When I'm ready to use the service in production, I will gladly sig

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked out upout, really cool idea and great UI. To try to return the favor: on your about page, you link to /karma.html, instead of /karma.
