nsabine··on Show HN: Family Folder – Help your family remember everything, organise anything
Love the concept, but it's also a crowded space. I'm always on the lookout for good ideas in the space, so keep it up!

A few thoughts:

# Comparison

How are you different from other competitors, such as Cozi, FamilyWall, etc?

# Organization

Family life is busy, but the screenshots show only a few things. What happens when there's multiple events every day, with overlapping timelines for different individuals? Are different people assigned to different colors in the todo or calendar functions?

# Screenshots

The website lists 6 major features of the app, but have only 4 screenshots. What do the other screens look like? I've never thought of creating a FAQ for my family, so what does that look like? Is it just shared notes? (also, isn't "where did I put my wallet" a weird thing to put on a FAQ?

# TOS

Um, no: `When you use our website or its associated services to post, upload, share, or otherwise transmit content covered by intellectual property rights, you grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide licence to use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly display, translate, or otherwise create derivative works of your content in a manner that is consistent with your privacy preferences and our Privacy Policy.`

The privacy doesn't seem to directly address the above point, so I assume that you permit yourself to publicly post my family pictures and WiFi password?

# Header menu

Pricing is listed twice: Once as a page, once as an anchor link. The anchor link breaks if you're on the pricing page.

Edit: formatting.

nsabine··on Show HN: I Created an AI-Flashcard All-in-One Learning Platform for Students
Interesting idea - I like the concept. A few comments:

- no demo? I see a 7 day free trial, but I’d like to see what it does before signing up.

- the headline “Get Better Grades Without Turning Into a Study-Obsessed Nerd” hits me wrong. It seems to be shaming students who study, but it’s a studying tool. Why insult your target market?

- $25/month is a lot, especially for students.

I love this!
nsabine··on SketchFlow: The AI-Powered Whiteboard for Seamless Brainstorming
I don’t understand what it does that’s different. After reading the webpage, I see that it’s powerful and smart, but no detail on what that means. No demo pictures or video, or example diagrams.

Is it different from Lucid or Draw.io?

If you’re concerned about these issues, please consider donating to a civil liberties or legal defense fund.
nsabine··on Digitapes – open-source personal media ecosystem
It’s unclear from the site what the system does now, vs what a larger ecosystem could bring. Can you provide a demo or screenshots to clarify?

Your FAQs has this question repeated:

- Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?

nsabine··on Show HN: KISS IDE – A simple web based IDE
Use a container to package the dependencies and runtime, so you don't need to install them on your OS.
nsabine··on Don't be a Glasshole: Use FaceBlock
So to protect my privacy, I should create a algorithmic representation of my face, allowing it to be identified in other people's pictures? And my phone/wearable should broadcast this via bluetooth to every camera in my proximity.

I'm sorry, but this sounds like a huge opportunity for exploitation.
