This is very cool! I love how no-fuss it is. I'm on a train travelling home, and suddenly I'm in a slipgate.

I've built a little demo on the landing page now! Enjoy!

This feedback has been really great and detailed, just what I was looking for! - I've added an option in user settings to turn on a 'Skipped' stack. - Card titles should now all be clickable! - It's now more obvious that

That's a very good point. I've just put up some screenshots on the landing page - it's not a demo to be fair, but at least you can see what using it might look like!

This is super nice, and it looks like it's going to have some really great features, well beyond OpenOrb's! Excited to keep an eye on this.

That would be _so_ cool! What an amazing resource that would be.

I'm so sorry, I've been doing some digging and I think there's a bug in the way the libraries for this particular board implement a WiFi server! It seems to crash quickly with even minimal code. I'm going to go back to t

You're right - this was my impression too! You read a few dramatic posts about being hugged and you get this idea that HN is a behemoth that DDoSes everything it loves. Thanks for the context!

Not as far as I can tell! Absolutely ashamed to say I did it because it looked cool. I did manage to get the dithered GIF down to 7KB, but I think I could have done the same with a limited palette and no dithering.

That's a really interesting point and one I hadn't considered! I'm reverse proxying it through a larger server on the home network which is public-facing, and that server automatically slaps HTTPS on whatever it sends out.

Well, granted, no doubt, but my poor little server routinely crashes after a few dozen connections, and exposing it to HN was the first time it experienced that many. Something is clearly amiss!

I've been resetting it every 2 minutes! This is how regular servers work, right?

There's no better stress test than Show HN, and unsurprisingly, that's revealed that Solar Witch has a buffer overrun bug somewhere which I'm investigating! If Solar Witch is currently offline, here's a screenshot of wha

I'm OP, and this was in fact my response to my question! Everyone else is suggesting these wonderful grandiose economic and social changes, and I just want a strongly typed (or, hell, even a little bit typed) Internet...

For a while now, I've been working my way through the reasons why I don't like the current state of social networking with a series of little social coding projects. Pond is the latest one - it's sort of like a newsletter, so

It's just a very little Node thing I made in a serious bout of procrastination, but I'm surprised I've not seen anything like it around before - general, quick to use, easy to share, doesn't try to snoop on you. I'm

I will check this out later but for now, _what_ a good name. Although I'm not sure how good the connectivity is in Helheim.
