skunkwerk··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
I've met Sam 3 times over the years, before he ever started openAI. He was always extremely generous with his time and willing to help others without asking anything in return. I am shocked to hear this news, and hope he will recover and continue his work.
skunkwerk··on Launch HN: BaseDash (YC S20) – Edit your database with the ease of a spreadsheet
Congrats on the launch. Have wanted something like this for years - most admin tools aren't easy to use like Airtable, and Airtable itself isn't designed to be a backend for your apps. Would love to see a lower-priced tier for just a single user (no collaborators).
skunkwerk··on An Open Source UI Builder for React
I've been compiling a list of these design-to-component code apps here: https://github.com/skunkwerk/awesome-design-to-component-cod...
skunkwerk··on Ask HN: How to organize personal knowledge?
Dynalist.io is the best note taking software I've seen in 12 years of using note-taking software. Features endlessly hierarchical lists, with tagging, links to other nodes, images, zooming to a single node, full-text search, Chrome web clipper, Dropbox backup.

- It's like Workflowy, but better... - I've tried Evernote, OneNote, Apple Notes, Google Keep... they all just end up becoming a massive mess of unorganized notes.

skunkwerk··on GDPR for lazy people: Block all European users with Cloudflare Workers
You need a legal basis for automated decision-making, such as doing geolocation on a user's IP address (which can be considered PII, as per EU legal rulings from last year). Which means you cannot block them without first getting that legal basis (i.e. consent). Therefore, you're in a catch 22.

can't wait for support on RDS!
skunkwerk··on Ask HN: Need a web-based news agreggator/filterer
Intigi sounds like it's targeted to marketers. I'm looking for more of a consumer-oriented site.

thanks
