thedg··on Bugs vs. product market fit: why startups need to build high quality products
Hey HN! Maybe other founders can relate - when you're in the earliest stages of your startup trying to find product-market fit, everyone tells you to ship fast and messy. The thinking is that you'll know you have product-market fit when users are willing to use your product even when it's janky and broken.

But I think "startups can afford to have bugs" is bad advice. Startups need clarity to find product-market fit, and bugs obscure clarity.

Curious to hear – what are your experiences?

thedg··on Automating Chrome extension publishing with GitHub Actions
Hi HN! I'm Dani - one of Preston's teammates. Using GitHub actions to auto publish our Chrome extension has helped us move faster without breaking things. With GitHub actions, it's part of our CI/CD pipeline so our tests are part of it.

The way we used to do it before where we manually uploaded the extension was cumbersome and bug prone. This is much better. If you're building a Chrome extension like we are, I hope this helps you.

thedg··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2022)
Jam | Senior fullstack engineer | Remote

Hey HN! I’m Dani, the CEO of Jam (https://jam.dev), a new dev tools startup building a new way to capture and debug frontend bugs - here's a 90 sec video: https://youtu.be/iXjmUwZLzVs.

We have raised $10M+ from the CTO of GitHub, CTO of PagerDuty, CEO of Cloudflare, etc., and are growing quickly. We're a team of strong generalist engineers (mostly early ex-Cloudflare) and we're looking for someone with experience building highly performant front-end apps.

The stack is fullstack javascript - react/typescript front end, and node/graphql backend. Every engineer on the team works fullstack.

Would love to chat if that sounds interesting to you. You can reach out: dani@jam.dev.

thedg··on Ask HN: Is there a tool / product that enables commenting on HTML elements?
When my cofounder Irtefa and I were PMs at Cloudflare we actually searched for a tool like this and when we couldn’t find one we liked, we went out to build it ourselves.

Our first attempt was a product that let product teams leave feedback as annotations tied to DOM elements, but what we learned is that product teams have a hard time trusting those comments as the underlying DOM does change (screen & viewport size, os/browser, geo/language, recent deploys, logged in account).

From there we went on to build Jam (https://jam.dev) - letting people quickly comment on what they see in the DOM and send a perfect snapshot with way more context than a screenshot (with even console logs and network requests attached) to a link to share or even a Jira ticket.

If you give it a try, I hope you find it’s much faster than screenshots and feedback the old way (we used to do feedback in a spreadsheet as PMs ), and would love to hear what you think! :)

thedg··on Designers Jam Together to Create Beautiful Websites
What are you currently using for Design QA?

Spreadsheets and screenshots? That's what we used before we started Jam. :D

thedg··on Awning Raises $9.3M to Help Individuals Invest in Single Family Homes
Incredible, congratulations!!
thedg··on Bug Jam – capture debug logs and screenshot in one click
Hey all! Really excited to launch this today. We built Bug Jam because we realized every time we took a screenshot we tried to make sure to open console logs so developers could see the screen with the console side by side. We were like - what if we could just have that happen automatically? And Bug Jam was born - capture a screenshot and debug logs in one click! Hope you take it for a spin - can't wait to hear what you think!

thedg··on Introducing Cloudflare Orbit: A Private Network for IoT Devices
^ yes, exactly. Most IoT security solutions focus on the security of the device itself today, but when a device isn't patched, that security model breaks down.

Cloudflare is running a firewall in thousands of nodes in over 100 data centers. As requests are proxied through Cloudflare to the devices, Cloudflare inspects the request and checks them against a list of known attack requests. Orbit customers can additionally create custom rules to detect and filter traffic based on any traffic pattern. When rules are added, they take less than 30 seconds to propagate to all data centers, and then will protect traffic to all devices.

thedg··on 98% of sites on Cloudflare now use IPv6
+1 - We actually do that automatically for you when you signup for Cloudflare.
thedg··on Universal DNSSEC: Secure DNS for Every Domain
^"No major web browsers inform the user when DNSSEC validation fails, limiting its strength and enforceability"

-- when DNSSEC validation fails, the domain is unreachable: www.dnssec-failed.org. The browser doesn't have to warn the user, the resolver will fail to return the DNS answer altogether.
