ob1gman··on Ask HN: What US-hosted, non-Google email service do you use?
I've been using hey.com - it's great.
ob1gman··on Digital Minimalism: What are the alternative to screen time?
You’re my hero
ob1gman··on WebContainers: Run Node.js natively in the browser
Yes definitely! Firefox compatibility is close to done and will ship soon. Waiting on Safari to ship some additional features. They don’t share timelines so it’s unclear at this point.
ob1gman··on “So, BBVA took over Simple. No one can access their bank account.”
This is beyond annoying. I was able to get into online banking, but now I can't access my savings account...

This is ridiculous.

ob1gman··on Ask HN: Who doesn’t want to go back to the office?
Oh. Thanks for that. I’ll have to repost both questions.

ob1gman··on Launch HN: Feroot (YC W21) – security scanner for front-end JavaScript code
This is a huge problem! This looks very promising!
ob1gman··on Ask HN: Thoughts on Earnest Capital
I'm trying to understand the OP's perspective... I've always thought of Earnest Capital as an investment company that's differentiated by being founder-friendly? Are you under a different perspective?

So it seems like if they only hit it off with X founders then they should only invest in X companies/founders? They're putting the emphasis on living with people as opposed to quick exits?

So it seems like @bentossel's review of them should mean a lot more than the number of investments or the dollar amounts?

One problem that investors, revenue and profit can't always fix is working with terrible people, btw.

ob1gman··on Show HN: The Bench Project, a project for people who hate shopping
Hey All! A little back story here... I've always hated shopping and then some friends (and my wife) encouraged me to do a capsule closet.

It's been working really well! I have fewer clothing decisions than ever and look good!

So I wanted to make a list of sites that make this approach possible. Feel free to add PRs. I would love that!

ob1gman··on Is Start Up School Down?
Very true!
ob1gman··on Is Start Up School Down?
Same thing happened to me! Very interesting...
ob1gman··on Is Start Up School Down?
Just making sure I'm not crazy!
ob1gman··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2017)
applying now. :)
ob1gman··on Show HN: How Ant Saved Dove - An Experimental Book
Maybe give the hacker news post a more descriptive title? I wasn't quite sure what it was until I clicked on it... :)
ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Ok. Good!!
ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Oh no! Can you send a screenshot to info@remotetogether.com ?

thx!

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
I'm going to set that up tomorrow. I honestly wasn't sure what kind of feedback I would get, but so far most people have been excited.

If you want to send me your email I'll let you know when I've finished setting it up. Thx for the feedback! And good call!

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Just looked you up via your HN username. Looks like the email went through and was delivered. Hopefully, it's in your spam folder.
ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Did you check your spam folder? Since we're a new org we are a little unknown by some spam filters.

If it's not in your spam folder will you email your account details to info@remotetogether.com ? That we I can diagnosis the issue better. Sorry this is happening to you!

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Thanks! :)

This is kind of the story behind RemoteTogether for anyone interested!

http://hi.remotetogether.com/t/remotetogether-why-now/20

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Completely agree!
ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Hmm. I didn't quite realize that, honestly. I don't plan to monetize hi.remotetogether.com. I could maybe see ads at some point on there? But that's about it. I have other monetization strategies. Like create an actual product.

Also, I would say what Levels.io has done with nomadslist.com is exceptional. I've used it for a couple of trips (Vacations - DigitalNomad-ing) I've been on. I realize you may not be a big fan of him, but he's done some good! Just food for thought.

Thanks for the responses though. Very. Very. Very. Insightful. Things I hadn't considered.

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Yeah - very true. I would say if you're a digital nomad you should join https://join.nomadlist.com/.

Looks like a great community and if I were a Digital Nomad I would join. But if you work from home I'd love to have a network around that... And that's why I've created RemoteTogether.

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
yeah - no problem. This isn't quite for Digital Nomads really. Honestly, I think digital nomads already have a community... I work from home. I don't work from other countries really.

So my vision is to create a community of Remote workers. http://levels.io has done a great job of creating a community for Digital Nomads. RemoteTogether is more for the people who work from home and spend upwards of 10 hours at home working.

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Looks like an issue with DNS. Resolving now. :)
ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
I'm looking at this right now! :)

Sorry for the inconvenience.

ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Awesome! Sign up. Would love to talk more!
ob1gman··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
So hi.remotetogether.com is a community and support group, but I'm going to eventually create products around RemoteTogether.

The forum is just the start. Also have some podcasts coming soon. Sorry for the confusion.
