You can keep reading as much as you want, there's a button at the end of the email that sends the next installment. There's also an option to send multiple times a day.

Since 2003 I've been on a mission to help people "read instead". From my experience as a bookseller I know that most people want to read more, but the full context switch to "reading" is increasingly difficult for m

Would love to get feedback on this version. I've been thinking about this for awhile and recently revived something I first posted on HN back in 2009: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=586798 Eventually I realized t

In a flash of nostalgia from my early web programming I remembered the names "Rob McCool" and "UnCGI". Much to my surprise what looks like the original Uncgi source code and website is still available. This is what open

I recently did something similar but as a Mac app. It sounds like a similar stack, but distributed as an app. FFmpeg (LGPL compilation). I haven't tried Pixi.js, looks interesting. I guess it was good for this. Have you looked at remot

Nope, not an outline prompt. Just my early morning jumble. (We still might be screwed, but I like to think not!)

That sounds closer to achieving a good outcome. Of course I think anything that includes the set of all users as columns will be game-able. You need to either choose the set yourself from "trusted peers" or "foaf" degree

The spoilage by money is half right, but I think the more interesting part is where the money ends up and how that influences the system. I'm increasingly convinced the issue isn't feedback itself, but centralized, global, aggrega

Doesn't the web already have implicit identities? And maybe that's enough for some use cases. I guess that's my take away.

I mean isn't this just a side effect of DIDs coming out a time when a lot of activity happened with blockchains? They came from w3c, a web org. I guess my experience is similar to what you're saying though: we didn't really n

SaaS pricing is tough. Free trials work, but startups often need a middle ground between free and enterprise without requiring a credit card. That's why we built betapass—users pay for access, and funds are distributed based on usage.

They are labeled "fake" and there's a pretty obvious call to action to replace them with human testimonials when we have them. It certainly seems better to call them out as not real than have them try to pass as real. What th

These are good questions. I'm not sure. As it was a quick project I didn't start with user research, although remember the people that were interested in it last time I had a similar product were lawyers and their clients who had

Right the nonce–the "dibs code"–is there so that you can't just copy a known sha256 and claim it as your own. You have to at minimum have the file, and to prove you have it one way is to come up with some random data and hash

What's changed? The interface and primitives available for building applications. Rather than having to create a blockchain, we can _use_ a blockchain to do the timestamping. Our insight is that this is still too hard to have quick acc
