Super cool. Typo here “Show your art, keep friends up-to-date or share family photos with lode ones.”

Start telling your story about why you built it in the first place. Tell it on any community that you think people who are in a similar need will be. Get narrow, try a few small niches. Stick with it for a month and then see who is followin

I believe there will continue to be a market for people building websites. Storefronts, landing pages, personal pages, blogs. I don’t see these going away. The feedback I keep seeing on hn and elsewhere is a mix of ease/ownership/

Can't wait to try this. One workflow I've started using is drafting/formatting in notion and then exporting to markdown. But having the visual editor of Github would reduce the steps. https://www.notion.so/h

I finally splurged on an Apple Watch. But before I had a very cheap $20 alarm vibrating watch marketed towards reminding people to take their pills. It worked great as a vibrating morning alarm so I didn’t wake my partner up.

This is not shade because I like this space, but how did you decide YC/venture path was right for Roame? I see many bootstrapped builders in travel (or have a lower margin business around content/affiliate revenue) and would love

For early versions I’ve had a much easier time building with subscription model (used a third party, set up in one day). Unless it was a key differentiator for a customer choosing me, usage based was more complicated to set up for shippin

Love this askHN post. I'm currently working on "JobMailer". When I was looking for a job and applying to 100-200 positions, I got really good at the process. To me it seemed like a somewhat wasted skill set, because I was ju

In a python-based backend, one suggestion for retrieving "additional details" could be SMS via Twilio or other. Easy to use with Python and might be a good context fit for following up that doesn't require a user to be at th

You can do both to hedge that interest rate risk. Some fixed, some floating. No one knows where rates are headed and savings account providers can change rates at any time.

I’ve had that happen too. Unfortunately these seem like edge cases for most companies and sms based 2FA remains the default. I’ve finally found a good workaround when traveling abroad: adding a local eSim for data-only and keeping my U.S. n
