veg··on Ask HN: Why is the crypto booming again?
For your particular case, you're referring to some of the slower blockchians. There are much faster and essentially free blockchains (like Base or Solana) which solve 1-3 on your list. UX still an issue.
veg··on Rough.js: Create graphics with a hand-drawn, sketchy, appearance
Absolutely love this library. Easy to use and stood the test of time. Used it for charts on https://usdc.cool
veg··on Dropbox: How to opt out of 3rd party AI partner access to your Dropbox
Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems like a poorly messaged setting and an overreaction by users on X. Sounds like they will use a commercial AI when you use Dropbox AI to ask about a document.
veg··on Amazon acquires Fig
There's no need for a new terminal. Their homepage literally says "IDE-style autocomplete for your existing terminal".
veg··on Elixir – Phoenix LiveView Native
Have led multiple teams on Elixir projects across a few companies. And while I still love the projects, the community just isn't there anymore.

I hope this project sparks some renewed interest in Elixir!

(That said, the linked site has basically zero information or examples)

veg··on Raindrop: All-in-One Bookmark Manager
I clicked the link because I want something like what you mentioned. But your landing page showed a programming language and you lost me.

And I'm a developer.

You're not selling a syntax. You're selling a solution. The homepage should be selling me on what you're solving, not the syntax to do it.

veg··on Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
https://usdc.cool - I wanted to track the supply of the stablecoin USDC, and check against their audits. Another benefit was trying to see what happens to the USDC supply during certain crypto events, like crashes or pumps.

Turns out it's quite interesting. When crypto goes down, many folks sell into USDC, which causes more USDC buying by the exchanges. But when crypto goes up, people often get in with USDC.

So basically: USDC goes up. And since this money is sitting in Circle's bank accounts, imagine what happens when the Feds raise interest rates. $CND is the SPAC supposedly taking Circle public, if it ever goes through.

I've been using the aptly named https://songbpm.com for about 10 years, which seems to have heavily inspired this site.

veg··on Napster.com banned at some universities for clogging networks (2000)
Napster is one of the two or three products that spawned a completely different world, entirely tossing established and antiquated rules on their head.

Of course, very directly, Spotify would not exist without Napster.

But a step further, it opened the eyes to end-users about their collective power, and the beauty of distributed distribution. It was the first proof that "regular" users would buy into such a thing. Napster, in many ways, gave birth to BitTorrent, Bitcoin, and all of the derivative work thereof.

veg··on Show HN: Wit – Natural language for your app
This looks really promising - can't wait to see where it is in a year with community additions.
