ezzato··on WorkOS – Building blocks for quickly adding enterprise features to an app
So true.
ezzato··on Ask HN: Is Quora Finished?
Idk never used it. The paywall makes me flee every time a search leads me there.
ezzato··on Ask HN: What (side-)project are you working on?
Working on an ad network for sideprojects (just launched). tinyads.io

It works by sideprojects showing each other on their landing pages.

ezzato··on Gitlab.com was experiencing elevated error rates for Git, Web, and API
I was just pushing some new code to production when it stopped working. So frustrating.
ezzato··on GDPR – No reject option – what to do?
UPDATE: the cookie banner was updated. A reject option is now available!

Thanks to everyone supporting this. We changed the world a little bit.

If you think this format has potential please follow @LetMeReject.

That's true. As long as they have not to bear the external cost it's cheap to pollute. But the market is two sided. We can bring the cost to the polluter if we choose to.

The DPA (Lower Saxony) says it's not. German link: https://lfd.niedersachsen.de/startseite/themen/internet/date...

They call it Nudging.

I might translate this to a proper blog post in English.

In this case the footer banner is not accessible with an open cookie banner. E.g. German law requires the website owner to have a legal link to the website representative.

In this case, only by consenting to the cookies I could have access to those links.

I filled 2 years ago a few complaints. It took over 1 year for an answer. Basically nothing happened.

The Data Protection Authority are underfunded and understaffed. They try the best with their resources.

ezzato··on GDPR – No reject option – what to do?
Some do some don't.

The GDPR strictly requires an explicit opt-in. So it's reasonable to assume that clicking on 'X' is a rejection. But some website do not accept that as a rejection.

Quoting the banner: "You can consent to the use of such technologies by closing this notice"
ezzato··on GDPR – No reject option – what to do?
As a European I encounter a lot dark patterns to circumvent privacy laws. Some just ignore your choice and track you. Some don't give you a reject option. Some make it really really annoying (or slow) to reject.

Do you think it's possible to politely ask them on twitter to change? Maybe as a group?

ezzato··on The Framework Laptop
Are the privacy switches hardware or software based?
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Thanks for the feedback. There are some issues left unsolved. I will take care of them.
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Thank you!
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Is there a difference between the two?
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Thanks. I fixed the typos.
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Yes. Tailwind mixed with alpinejs.
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
What a great project. Love the idea. This might be a new game gerne. Developer Board Games or so. Haha
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
No I don't. The ads must be respectful and unobtrusive.

Edit: typo

ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
No wobble, juggle, jumping in the live version. I'll remove the animation now. haha
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Yes, the ad endpoints are locked right now. Doors are opening on March 15th. I wanted to give this a slow start to have a credible amount of projects to show.

Only ads with the script tag will be included to the ad network.

ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
I run postgresql in the backend. Right now most of the apps logic is written directly as postgres functions.

After experimenting with datalog and mongo I settled with postgres. It's flexible enough for most situations.

ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Love ethical ads! I guess finding OSS through an ad is not the right way.
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
I did but couldn't find a simple solution to implement that. The plan right now is to integrate flurly as a payment solution in the future.
ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Creator here. Tiny ads is my attempt to create a cross site ad network for hackers and side projects.

It's more an experiment than a serious business venture. The idea is simple. We place a little ad on each others page with a link back to ones side project.

It privacy respecting (no user tracking) and will work in the beginning by me judging which project to include into the ad network.

I hope to create a positive sum game and give cool projects a new platform.

(The ad will start showing on March 15th)

ezzato··on Show HN: Ad Network for Sideprojects
Never noticed that while coding the frontend xD I will change the animation to something else. Maybe a little bounce. Haha
ezzato··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I'm building a search engine to find free web services. https://freeplan.app

It's a week old now and I have around 2000 services listed.

This services rose from my own need to understand how to build something as cheap as possible. Working on this gave me the understanding how many services gives you a free plan which is good enough to solve a problem you care.
