My most popular post, at least here on HN, is about how Cloudflare Images had a lot of issues ~1.5 years ago - unfortunately they still do too. A previous PM for the product told me at one point that he and the team was "very well aware" of my article, and it was at one point one of the top ranking search results for "Cloudflare Images" too.

I'm currently writing a post about how I discovered I have low-frequency tinnitus.

Thought perhaps this was an intentional nod to that exact situation!

It's a reference to how autocorrect will turn "fucking" into "ducking" as of now. I understood this as with iOS17, you'll finally be allowed to have "fucking" autocompleted and not autocorrected away - thought I might be wrong :)

Finally there's something on the status page! https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2554

Exactly the same here - the ones not deployed recently works fine!

danielskoglyon Thoughts on Render.com

I was eager to give Render.com a try, but $20/user seems both strange and unnecessary - especially considering your positioning as an alternative to Heroku (you even have "Compare to Heroku" on your frontpage). For our case, if we were to switch over from Heroku, we would be paying more for _just the users_ than we do in total for everything at Heroku.

I'd be really interested in hearing why your reasoning for seat-based pricing, as I struggle to see this from a user perspective, and from the perspective as someone who runs a SaaS. Paying a $20/month premium per user just for the privilege of paying you for computing seems like a strange proposal.

How fun! I'm also quite proud of another contribution, also related to detecting visibility, but this time with `document.elementFromPoint` to filter out elements completely covered by other ones :)

The $350/mo plan includes 20 stories! Will look into clarifying the wording of our pricing table, as well as adding what extra usage costs. I'd love to hear more about your use cases though, if you'd like to get in touch at daniel at instorier.com

Only if you're religious about it - something I know many in the HN crowd are!

Jokes aside, this is one of the reasons we plan to add top notch support for both reader mode and clients that browse without JS enabled.

Well that sucks to hear! I'd be really interested in knowing what device you're on, and whether or not you have things like battery saving on.

I really can't envision a future where every single article would be made in a tool like Instorier - plain text is enough for most things, and I hate it myself when pages scroll-hog. Some experiences may have something to gain from being able to synchronize scroll with e.g. drawing a journey taken on a map, or being able to highlight and zoom in on statues or buildings as a story is told.

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it, and agree completely with you when it comes to the pricing - especially for things like personal or small-business use. In the longer run, we aim to introduce more affordable tiers to enable as many as possible to use the product, but until then we understand that either hand crafting or things like Wix/SquareSpace might be a better option for many.

danielskoglyon Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?

My SO got 4 thermoses for Christmas one year, so I decided to build a simple wishlist service[0] to prevent it happening again. Launched it 6 years ago, and since then it's been used by friends, family and myself for all Christmas and birthdays - so I consider it a huge success. In addition to already being a success for me personally, it's growing organically, and last year really picked up the pace when I reached 1k users. Now it's at just over 7k, which is surreal.

I made a small tribute[0] to Winterbells last year when beginning to learn Godot. Spent much time with that music on loop way back when playing that cozy game!
