Haha "Stripe-no-webhooks library"

Library based on processing ... wait for it ... webhooks".

Good point! I don't understand why this link received so many points.

Nice! I made something very similar, but with a focus on frequent daily use, means no clicking required, you can only use keys

Look at stringify.cc

When we logged into the tax portal, only this amount was shown as to pay. Terrible UX.

In fact, the fine was actually what we paid (minimum tax + missed deadline + interest).

“Normal fine”: We just didn't expect you to be able to incorporate a company and if you miss the tax payment deadline, you will receive a fine 100 times higher than the cost of incorporating the company, no matter what.

But of course, I don't recommend our way. Don't do it. It was wrong. Pay your taxes. Fill out all the required documents.

Good question. We have considered all options. But the company cannot be officially closed without paying all taxes/fines, etc.

At the same time, with a C corp, only the company itself is liable for taxes and fines, not its founders. If a company does not have sufficient funds, it cannot operate, and there is a process for automatically dissolving the company (after several years, if you have no outstanding obligations to third parties, no fraud intentions, etc.). We didn't want to do this and be left with an unpaid bill in our minds.

Our target market was US, so US company was the first and only choice.

I agree, and I think we knew that even back then!

However, we thought that starting a company would motivate us because we would be "commited" and this would demonstrate to each other that we were serious about it, given that we all had other jobs. And to this day, I still think it has some meaning.

what is the difference?

C corp in Delaware

Well sure :) but we expected to pay a "normal" fine, not $60,000 right away. Especially since we had zero revenue. Today we would do many things differently...

Haha, I see people talking about slides everywhere, from specific moment in my life... that's when I started coding slidepicker.com!

Anyway, nice work! I created something similar for our product (a list of divs that switch visibility based on keyboard input).

Thanks! I can’t wait to read your feedback!

Haha, same! Which tools are you using or trying to use?

WTF? Privacy first?

Thank you! Exactly this "It is JSON with some fingerprinting/hashing send over Websocket" should be write there somewhere + put a link to the documentation and an example of how to use it. I don't want to watch an hour-long video.

I don't understand. Can someone explain it to me from a technical/IT perspective? Is it like HTTP or JSON, or like XMPP...?

"An open protocol with a chance of working" = ?huh? "Nostr doesn't subscribe to political ideals of "free speech"" = ???huh? "BEEP BOOP" ???wtf??

Please don't explain technical things as if you were talking to children. Explain them as if you were talking to a colleague sitting next to you. Talk to them as a person and as a professional.

Hi HN,

Last weekend, I wondered whether I could replace our clunky contact form with a WhatsApp chat. Forty-eight hours (and a lot of Claude Code prompts) later, OWA.link was live.

Stack (all edge-deployable): Cloudflare Workers KV for storage/DB React app link generator (most of the UI and functionality was generated by Claude Code). SimpleAnalytics was used for anonymous click stats.

Here's what you can test:

Try this link: https://owa.link/book-meeting

Click and answer to see WhatsApp open with a pre-filled message that includes your form data.

Alternatively, try this simplified version: https://openwa.link/plDumo

It's completely free if you're OK with sharing your analytics data (everyone can add "+" to the end of links to see the number of clicks, like bit.ly does).

Why share? I'm curious to know if this edge-only approach makes sense in the long term.

Is the AI actually useful? This is my first project that has been created entirely by AI (front end, back end, help guide and translations), and I think it's pretty awesome.

All feedback (technical, UX and business) is welcome! If people find it valuable, I’ll clean up the code and open-source the Worker next week so you can host it yourself.

Thanks for your attention, and happy hacking! :)

I really like it. Good job! Please keep it ad-free/tracking-free. It's very rare in recent years ... for the same reason I built stringify.cc in recent weeks - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44386194

Nice. But why?

it looks great!

Can anyone explain to me why? I can see that I can already install it from the original repository as well?

Thanks :))

5$ vps probably not

Isn't the point of OTP is to keep it on one device only (ideally not the primary one?) If someone gets access to iCloud then they will automatically be able to read all OTP passwords?

Keep making. The web is mostly not working (docs -> 404 etc.)

I see a huge markdown fan! I'm on the same page! We're building an entire ecosystem for markdown slides for the same reason.

The same design for all slides in the same workspace, a hosted version for non-developers, each slide has its own public url for easy slide playback, and more ...

Try if you are interested in slidepicker.com (beta)

Hi. Yes, it’s like hosted version of sli.dev but for non-developers. With a focus on good looking slides, hosted url with slides for easy sharing and other great features..

(I'm the co-founder of slidepicker ;))

I use “about:blank” as a start page. It’s way faster then anything else.
