No mention of YouTube afaict?
steveharman··on Show HN: I built an AI powered alternative to Webflow and Framer
https://www.instwebai.com doesn't resolve.

At a guess, did you mean to type https://www.instawebai.com ? That seems to be something relevant.

steveharman··on Rabbit R1: Barely Reviewable [video]
Today, after many years, I unsubscribed and unfollowed MKBHD.

I'm just bored and fed up with his smart-alec "hey this is a bad new thing" videos to catch eyeballs and feed the algo.

Seems as though unless you're a big-bucks big-tech that's going to give him a discount on a fancy electric car then you're nothing.

steveharman··on I have a custom domain, what's your guys favorite email provider
https://www.migadu.com Migadu

Single price for hosting as many domains and users as you need. The admin panel makes it the closest thing to hosting your own server, without the headaches of hosting your own server.

steveharman··on Not setting up Find My bricked my MacBook
"Apple ID requires you to have a phone number associated with the account, and only allows one phone number per account."

That's not right.

Login to applied.apple.com / iCloud and add multiple phone numbers to your Apple ID for 2FA purposes.

steveharman··on Ente-io-auth: open-source 2FA app for Android, iOS and web
Hi. I'm not an expert, but should I be concerned that I'd be offloading my auth tokens to a cloud service?

Security breaches and so on.

steveharman··on Ask HN: Alternatives to AirDrop?
You're wanting to share a URL from device (a) to device (b)?

I do this all the time to & from iOS, Mac, Android & Windows in Brave using "Send to your devices".

Simply Share > Send to your devices > [pick one]

The URL appears almost instantly on the target device / the next time that device is powered on

steveharman··on Ask HN: What are some good alternatives to Evernote?
Notion?

https://www.notion.so/

steveharman··on Show HN: I built my own PM tool after trying Trello, Asana, ClickUp, etc.
Doesn't Notion have offline support these days?

I just launched the Android app with all networking and mobile disabled, the app showed me all my pages etc and allowed me to enter new data.

steveharman··on Ask HN: What happened to “Ferdi” – the “multi-messenger”?
Website is back and login to Ferdi is now possible again. This morning I can login to my Ferdi account and https://getferdi.com/ seems to be working again. Similarly Twitter. https://twitter.com/getferdi

Go figure....

steveharman··on Ferdi messaging browser repository deleted, website offline
I'm struggling to find a free alternative, the others (Franz, Rambox) seem to be crippled until paid for. I wouldn't even mind paying, but their entry level tiers are around $6 a month.... Seems high for what you get
steveharman··on Ferdi messaging browser repository deleted, website offline
A sad and somewhat mysterious day.

I wonder what the back-story is to this event?

steveharman··on Show HN: Top headlines of the world to start the day
I wonder if there are other source countries / regions planned? It feels like quite an unusual mix atm! :-)
steveharman··on Bypass Paywalls: a browser extension to help bypass paywalls for selected sites
People don't like ads. People don't like paywalls. People want everyone else to do things for free.

How will that work?

steveharman··on Briar has been removed from Google Play
Apple rejected one of our apps. I looked at the screenshots they sent, they weren't of our app.

Pointed this out - app passed the review process.

steveharman··on Penpot: Open-source design and prototyping platform
I admire this, tried it and it's very good. I even had a feature suggestion accepted for development.

But for some reason, unlike most tools I use, I don't actually care or have an issue with Figma not being open source.

Therefore: Figma works well, has a vibrant plugin ecosystem, lots of 3rd party design assets, can be used on any platform and in 4 years I've never needed to pay for it....

So tbh I can't find the motivation to jump ship to something else.

steveharman··on No results for “backup” – Figma Help Center
What about saving your designs locally from Figma (as a .fig file) ?

Doesn't that count as a backup?

steveharman··on Winamp
Viewing the winamp.com site in my HN client (Materialistic, Android 10) causes the app to freeze with the only available option to quit & relaunch.
steveharman··on How I Use Notion
I really enjoy Notion. But for anyone concerned about lack of offline, latency issues and "my data in a great big silo" concerns I can recommend keeping an eye on https://anytype.io/en/
steveharman··on The metaverse is bullshit
For anyone after a TLDR, from the article itself:

"The metaverse is bullshit because no one can actually explain why it's better."

steveharman··on Steve Wozniak – “A Private space company is starting up, unlike the others.”
Is it just me or does that video clip feel a lot like "Here's to the crazy ones" / the Think Different campaign from Apple back in the day?
steveharman··on Clarifications regarding arrest of climate activist
From their website, regarding Onion:

"...we are one of the only email providers that supports this). "

What now?

steveharman··on KeyCastr – Open-source keystroke visualizer
Nowhere in the readme does it explain what a keystroke visualizer actually is.
steveharman··on Brickit – scans your Lego bricks and helps you build new creations
Having trouble finding the Android version.... :-(
steveharman··on Show HN: Drop-in audio & video chat for remote teams
Seconded.

Also, Discord works perfectly for us since switching from Slack and coats us nothing for a team of nearly 20.

All our text chat, screen sharing, group and 1-1 calling (voice or video) plus adhoc "drop in meetings" are all in a single app.

Which is available now for every desktop and mobile platform. (We're all Mac + Linux)

steveharman··on Apple's iCloud+ “VPN”
"...why don't VPN providers implement a onion router.."

Pretty sure Nord already does. Probably others.

steveharman··on Show HN: NocoDB – Open-Source Airtable Alternative
Fantastic, thanks!
