flashblaze··on Gemini figured out my nephew’s name
Yeah, I believe it is called Stylometry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylometry
flashblaze··on Harmonic: Modern Android client for Hacker News
I have now emailed them. I was under the impression that dang had set up an automated system which notified him of his mentions.
flashblaze··on Harmonic: Modern Android client for Hacker News
You're right, my bad. @dang, possible to add it?
flashblaze··on Show HN: Bulk Image Resizer
Nice tool. Facebook seems broken to me. I'm on Windows 11 on Edge: https://ibb.co/kgPV0ZFZ

I would have liked to see a preview of the changes I've made as well if possible.

flashblaze··on SHOW HN: How I built my first SaaS as a 13 year old to solve invoice management
I tried to sign up, but did not receive the email for verification. Is there no way to retrigger it?
flashblaze··on Show HN: Microfeed – open-source Self-hosted CMS on Cloudflare
Off-topic, but I love your podcast feed. This project looks nice as well
flashblaze··on Android 16 UI update thoughts? [video]
I feel the elements are too rounded. Apart from this, I dig the new UI changes.

While not a custom solution as many have proposed, but I do use Modern for Hacker News: https://www.modernhn.com/
flashblaze··on Show HN: InstaClock - Time Tracking App for Individuals
That's weird. Are you being blocked by Cloudflare? I agree. It is definitely a populated field but majority of them are focused on B2B rather than B2C and have something to desire w.r.t UI and charts (in my opinion).
flashblaze··on Four years of running a SaaS in a competitive market
Ah! I get what you mean
flashblaze··on Four years of running a SaaS in a competitive market
It is B2C. I'm from India, so TT is a no go for me. My product is also not exactly Reels material. I'm not planning on doing ads since that is a different path which I would like to avoid as long as possible after I've exhausted all my other options.
flashblaze··on Four years of running a SaaS in a competitive market
I think you're right, I may be jumping to conclusions, and I would be in a better position to answer in a month or so whether the 30 signups are good or not. However, the reason I feel they are not enough is because I got them in my launch week (if you can call it that). I won't be able to do this every week, and I would like to find a sustainable way to get new users discovering my product.

I think SEO is the answer to that and I am planning on checking out resources or short courses if there are any since they might help me in the future as well. The reason I was curious about your process was whether you had tried something different which I hadn't tried (or thought of) which might help me avoid/improve on your feedback.

flashblaze··on Gmail to SQLite
Is there anything similar written in TypeScript?
flashblaze··on Four years of running a SaaS in a competitive market
Can you share your experience regarding marketing? Any specific courses you'd recommend, channels you tried and what worked or didn't? I have posted on Twitter, mentioned my product in Reddit comments and also "showcased" it in some Discord servers. All that amounted to around 30 signups in 1 week. But this is not sustainable, and I would like to try some other avenues as well.

Will check it out. Thanks
flashblaze··on CryptPad: An Alternative to the Google Suite
May I ask why not Zoho?
flashblaze··on Ask HN: AI-Filtering Browser Extension?
I'll definitely give it a try. Would be interesting to see how much slop is out there.
flashblaze··on Netflix is removing Black Mirror: Bandersnatch
I don't get it. What do they gain by removing the episode though?
flashblaze··on RSC for Astro Developers
If you're planning on using any framework (like React), I won't recommend it. The reason being, if you're using any library from React which depends on the Context API, it will cause issues since you'll have to wrap your respective pages/components with it and handle navigation on the client side to preserve any global "state" if any. At which point, you're better off using a fullstack framework.
flashblaze··on RSC for Astro Developers
Love love love Astro. Been using it since it was launched. My personal site and 1st product's landing page both are built using Astro. Builds fast, has the ability to ship 0 JS and allows to any frontend libarary makes it a killer framework imo.
flashblaze··on Open source Google Analytics replacement
I'm using Clarity and was under the impression it was better than GA
flashblaze··on On Not Carrying a Camera – Cultivating memories instead of snapshots
This really made me think. While I don't plan on not carrying my camera any time soon. I do plan on enjoying the moment first rather than trying to click a picture first.
flashblaze··on Linkwarden: FOSS self-hostable bookmarking with AI-tagging and page archival
I have been using Raindrop and like it quite a bit
flashblaze··on Show HN: A pure WebGL image editor with filters, crop and perspective correction
I'm so glad this exsist. I've been meaning to get something similar started, but did not due to one reason or the other. I'll definitely try to contribute.
flashblaze··on Show HN: Bhvr, a Bun and Hono and Vite and React Starter
I haven't worked with trpc, but looking at the docs everything looks to be pretty tightly coupled together In Hono RPC, you just have to replace the fetch api call with the RPC client and you're good to go
flashblaze··on Show HN: Bhvr, a Bun and Hono and Vite and React Starter
Using Hono RPC would immensely help this. I'm using a similar kind of setup for my upcoming micro SaaS and the API integration has been a breeze

flashblaze··on Icônes
Kind of in the similar vein: https://iconify.design/
