This concept sounds great. I despise Xero, and felt the same about QuickBooks before it. "Linear for accounting" basically already has me sold. Just please make it work for UK companies some time (from a YC22 Founder).

Love the concept, but if the core developers don't rely on direct relationships with non-government customers, then I assume this software is unlikely to meet my needs as a startup founder (or the need of most other readers here on HN)

Can somebody explain core use-cases? Postgres UIs of various flavours are already pretty numerous. Is this for developers? BI people? Is it intended to run on existing production databases or only new small databases used exclusively by Mat

I got married in Denmark for this reason. Super easy. Costs plenty. Smart economic strategy.

Please don't only offer registration via Google. That's bad for you. Bad for users. And very bad for the world. Yes it's cheap. And also catastrophic.

We've been using Zulip at our startup for 2.5 years now and still generally love it. We self host and haven't had any issues with that (pretty much zero maintenance so far). The Android app is awesome. Searching messages sucks, an

We are fans of the clean docs experience this produces. Works great with Postman.

Unfortunately 50% of the world's mailboxes are hosted by 2 companies. That means the open internet is far as email goes is already dead in practical terms for most people. When they block another host that host no longer has email netw

That's a problem this app is trying to solve actually. You're thinking of brute force attacks or something else? Disclaimer: I'm one of the founders.

Yes running your own mail is still hard, and our approach is to manage and automate existing MTAs via an Open Source app: Lightmeter.io. Maddy looks great, and necessary. For people wanting to stick with Postfix, Lightmeter is worth a look

Delta.chat looks similar to mail.app. Basically a WhatsApp UI for email. Open Source and E2EE.

As well as for regular stuff, I'm now using email as a WhatsApp replacement with a few friends, with the delta.chat mobile apps.

I recall that they did try, but didn't succeed, because it was consided to be too generic. But can't find a reference for that :\

Just by starting to use the TM symbol next to words or images you intend to trademark is enough to offer some immediate and free protection (IANL)

Good catch. To quote them: "the court rejected the argument that the lack of direct profit from releasing software under the GNU General Public License rendered the original Coolmail name unenforceable as a trademark, holding that dist

Sooner or later bigger brands will inevitably take the existing qmk ecosystem mainstream. Enjoy being a member of a niche while it lasts. (Lily58 user here).

We migrated from Cypress to Gauge/Taiko for fuzzier (more human readable and guessable) selectors.

+1 for wacom tablets. Been using them for around 10 years instead of mice, for the ergonomic benefit. Portable, and cheap (bamboo series 2nd hand). Last several years each, too. Also native Linux support.

I need self hosted analytics and product intelligence, and am interested in the "new wave" of self hosted apps in this category. But there are already enough Open Source options, and its important enough to my firm, that we'd

All the Matomo propriety plugins I've used work locally as well as via their cloud platform. They could use more polish on their product intelligence features, but it's a mature and relatively scalable product.

Great article. No mention there, or in these comments, about using split boards vertically- I adopted this two years ago and won't go back. It's trivial to strap a split board to a box of approximately shoulder width. The result s
