I couldn't disagree more
HeadOfProbing··on Show HN: Invader – an indie iOS podcast player that never phones home
Care to elaborate?
HeadOfProbing··on I launched on Product Hunt and all I got was spam email
Product Hunt is a legacy platform
HeadOfProbing··on Show HN: Invader – an indie iOS podcast player that never phones home
Thanks, still figuring that out.
HeadOfProbing··on An update on leaving Gmail for Fastmail
Some of it feels like so.
HeadOfProbing··on Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub
A big difference between Probed and Slack Connect is being able to create public community channels where all your users can talk to each other. You also get a feedback system, a public roadmap, and other features to help foster that community-driven growth.

Anyone here know why the animations in the Fastmail iOS app don't run in 60FPS?

Looks neat! I'll try your project if you try mine: https://getprobed.chat/
HeadOfProbing··on Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub
What are people using as alternatives for GitHub Actions specifically these days?
HeadOfProbing··on Firefox for iOS now has a native adblocker
Love Firefox. But I always thought it was terribly misguided product direction of them to ever release this as a separate iOS app.
HeadOfProbing··on "Code was never the hard part" is an insult to all programmers
Well said.
HeadOfProbing··on What is a product?
This article is riddled with logical fallacies. And this is a very Silicon Valley-esque, growth-minded, narrow way of thinking about this new world we live in.

I maintain half a dozen products, some of which enjoy only a handful of dedicated users, and I consider them all a resounding success. We are living in a new future of readily available custom software for extremely niche use cases.

> Don't feel bad if you don't have anything to show up with all the free intelligence available nowadays. Almost nobody has.

But I can empathize with the author's attempt at "vibe writing" something meaningful, considering that they seemingly don't have anything better to "show up with".

HeadOfProbing··on Chatto is now open source
Seems neat
HeadOfProbing··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
Building https://probed.chat!

A chat platform for founders, creators, and small teams to talk directly to their users! No more email or ticket queues. Build a real community around what you make.

I built this because I've seen firsthand how community Discords just don't scale for support or community-driven product growth.

Would love your feedback if you try it out.
