YTMND, instant upvote

This always trips me up when I enthusiastically knock on my friends door to this tune. Oops

good to keep this in mind while you're designing it. "will i be able to maintain this for 10+ years?"

I think we should solve this problem with some sort of social seal of approval. I call it E-Corp (like B Corp certification)

Companies and projects can get E-Corp certified if they:

- publish their email templates publicly

- are regularly audited by anon user accounts (created by the e-corp project)

- honor unsubscribes per type

- have a unsubscribe from all in emails link

- have a unsubscribe from this type in emails link

- link to their published notification surface area doc

- clicking any "unsubscribe from this type" or "unsubscribe from all" link is honored immediately (meaning "are you sure?" or "enter your email" follow ups after clicking/tapping)

Can work for push notifications too

I know it says "Facebook daily active users (DAUs)" but I'm not sure why it wouldn't include the "Family of apps", ie Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc

we might start it up again if there is any interest (reply to this message)

noob question, why does the title say [flagged]?

came here to say this. 7MB hero image served from nginx. put it in a cheap object store or behind a cdn?

that being said, great looking app!

Hmmm... HN strips "Ultimate" from the title here

I've noticed this too. My art/advertising project (https://24HourHomepage.com) let's people advertise themselves for free. Lots of people promote their IG/Twitter/Tiktok etc.

I'm not surprised given how much "influencer economy" marketing there is (also, I advertise the site on Tiktok/IG/YT) but I'm over-joyed when I see good ol' fashioned websites.

Even then, they seem to be older sites :/

Here are some things I've tried. All give a net positive to me being less anxious.

- Rejection therapy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rejection_Therapy): get rejected by another person at least once per day. Great practice.

- Gardening. Shut off the computer and leave the phone at home. Plan to have several hours doing something you enjoy (for me that is gardening, hikes, beach, ocean) with no screens

- Exercise. Even if you don't do it at all, start like a child. Choose an activity you can imagine yourself realistically doing for the next few years. Bouldering, Biking, Power Lifting, Crossfit, Running, Yoga, Calisthenics.

- Treat your body and mind like a temple. As you consume something (food, digital) ask yourself: 'is this serving me?'. If it isn't or gives pause, explore alternatives. One of many reasons I don't drink anymore.

- Toastmasters (https://www.toastmasters.org/) or Improv club. I had a few years where I noticed my speaking skills plummeted. Toastmasters was recommended and I loved the playful club.

- Lunchclub (https://lunchclub.com/). Casual way to chat with other people in tech and other industries. Lots of people there are also working on social skills

pretty fun! the first quiz i did noted Indian markets. does the app reference other international markets?

that sounds fun...link?

did you know that "institutionalization" also resolves to the English numerical contraction: "i18n"?

here's a tool to test for conflicts in other words (a11y, k8s, ets):

thanks for sharing!

I love focusmate.com

Less for the “i can’t focus without some external accountability”-pitch it seems to market itself as and more for the serendipitous network of people doing interesting things

i too would love to listen to a Mexican Spanish version

update: found one on ebay

haha excellent!

I sort of do this for physical projects too. I call it the "stub your toe method"

Put the physical things on the ground around the house and if you stub your toe on it, address the thing!

I partially encrypt/decrypt a file based on the presence of special HEREDOCs (ie <<PRIVATE) so I can keep a public daily journal and keep some notes private.

The tool is still a WIP as it isn't portable between machines -- https://github.com/higgins/privatize

`clean`

in general: small, bit-sized projects that solve a problem i have or something that has been on my mind for a while
