Everything about the book publishing industry is antiquated. I wish Amazon focused on books instead of ecommerce. The real disruption of books haven't really happened. I thought eBooks and digital books would get us there, but it simpl

Seeing that aqua scrollbar fills me with such joy. This is when tech was joyful and fun. I think what happened to the scrollbar is such a reflection of our industry as a whole. A microcosm.

I want to try this, but unfortunately there are just too many Electron applications on my computer now. I literally cannot run anymore without slowing everything down. This is something which other software makers need to start considering.

I am working on a ebook reader which uses AI to make reading easier and has a built in book club to talk about the book as you read it and once you are done. Basically I am building it for myself as some books are hard to read, and if I can

The delivery piece can be email for sure but the discovery / browsing piece is harder to do through email.

I use supabase as our backend for https://sudopad.com and recently crossed 1000 shared links. Has been pretty stable for me. The only thing I am waiting for is the ability to call a subabase function on db change.

I use RLS quite heavily for my app Sudopad ( https://sudopad.com ) and it has been working quite well so far. One gotcha specific to Supabase (where I run the backend) is because there is no anonymous login in Supabase, turning on

Thank you. I'll add the edit functionality shortly. I'm glad simple bookmark sharing is something that you like. After building it for just my friend, I see more and more use cases for it. Someone is already using it to share link

by ishanr 4y ago
Yes adding it would be trivial. Right now I just add the new link with a note. Would it help your usecase?
18.
by ishanr 4y ago
You could. Maybe not slack but google doc you can. But it just feels not built for this purpose. Along with the extension I'm developing this would let you share with 1 click and get notified in realtime if you want etc. It's a mo

Pad url aliases would be nice to have. But I would have to gate it behind a login so that there are no clashes. Would you be ok signing up with a magic link for such a feature? Then you could name your pad with however short of a name you w

by ishanr 4y ago
Well why not. I can definitely see it can be useful. I just added it. Should be live. It's text field. So you can also write long notes if you want. It's up to you.

Oh that is actually shynet self hosted analytics which is privacy friendly. https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet But I think I'll just remove it for now. Update: removed

Interesting. Can you kindly let me know your browser and os?
23.
by ishanr 4y ago
Huh. That is so strange. Your ideas about the browser extension is exactly what I have in mind. Ill post a link on sudopad once it is ready. I was going to build a Firefox extension first since that's what I use. Does that work for you

by ishanr 4y ago
Ya that's a nice side effect I didn't think of. Thanks. I also use browser bookmarks a lot so I just bookmark one board for a friend and another for family.
25.
by ishanr 4y ago
Yes exactly. Our company works remotely so often times I want to share something that I have read with my friends and talk about it later. Do you see yourself using sudopad then? Anything which would make it even better?
26.
by ishanr 4y ago
Aah yes that is pretty cool. Puts the link in the body and the title in the subject. Well should have used that more! I do like a board which I can search later though and also multiple boards for different friends and family etc.

Thank you. Imba is a real pleasure to work with. I have only good things to say about it. It brought back the joy in web programming for me.

There were a few places where the compiled down JS to Imba was a bit hard. But when it got tricky I could just compile that single file and see the results. Overall it was pretty straight forward but also my app is pretty simple. And here i

Hi HN, My closest friend only uses email and over the years I have grown tired of writing a heading and a body every time to share something with him. So I built this very simple link sharing board which generates boards with uuids and as l
