youngdynasty··on Disqus, a dark commenting system
I’d rather just tweet a link to a blog post and let the discussion happen there. Plus, you get “free” eyeballs on it since it’ll appear in the commenter’s social graph.

If you wanted to “own” the data, you could periodically scrape the tweet’s comments.

I think there’s a cool product somewhere in there.

youngdynasty··on Ask HN: How do you like developing on an M1 Mac so far?
Not all extensions work yet, unfortunately. C++ wasn’t usable, last time I tried.
youngdynasty··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
I use more than one zone because I run TCP services which need low latency. I'll probably just switch to Digital Ocean.
youngdynasty··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
I run a hobby project in multiple zones because low latency is important, and Kubernetes makes it easy to do so.

There's no way I'm going to pay an extra $73/mo -- I already pay for the computing resources, this should be free.

Looks like I'll be moving away from GKE. It's a shame, I _was_ a big advocate.

youngdynasty··on App Store now supports universal purchases on iOS and macOS
> Xcode 11.4 supports building and distributing macOS apps as a universal purchase. To distribute your macOS app as a universal purchase, specify the same bundle identifier as your iOS app in the Xcode template assistant when creating a new project. If you have an existing project, edit its bundle identifier in the Project Editor.
youngdynasty··on Writing Apps in Go and Swift
Thanks for your feedback. Honestly, I was just being sassy. It probably is like comparing apples to oranges. This technique does not concern itself with a cross-platform interface. It only makes it possible to keep the logic cross-platform so that the "only" difference is the UI implementation, which can be done using native SDKs.
youngdynasty··on Writing Apps in Go and Swift
Yes! I've shipped an app, on the Mac App Store, which uses Go in a non-trivial way (including spawning goroutines). The link is in the article.

Thanks!
youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
Hey, thanks for your feedback.

One of the biggest reasons that I decided to distribute on the Mac App Store was to establish trust. If I embraced its limitations (i.e. sandboxing), it'd help me build a product that was more secure and have some sort of proof that it was.

Also, the company (me) behind the app is based in France, which has some of the toughest privacy laws. The privacy policy, although in English, is compliant with French law. The short version is that Emporter doesn't collect user data, or perhaps most importantly, user content.

I have quite a lot I want to discuss about this via the company blog, which ironically is part of the reason I decided to post a "Show HN". I wanted contextualize the product a little bit before inviting this kind of discussion.

Thanks for your positive input. HN can be brutal, but I have gotten some great feedback, even if it was hard to hear.
youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
Thanks for your suggestion! I was hoping to perhaps put together a short video to show it off in action (it really is quite simple).

That said, it might actually be easier for me to use the "accordion" approach, as you suggested, My video editing skills are pretty limited and this is currently a side project of mine that's completely bootstrapped.

I've updated the main page to include pricing. Thanks again.
youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
Thanks for your feedback... why not indeed? I've updated it within product page (and In-App Purchases). It'll probably take a little bit for the description in the App Store to update, though.
youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
Thanks for your feedback! I can definitely see why that's a deal breaker. Admittedly, I just thought people would be stoked that it was free to use and download it.
youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
I admit, I'm usually a lurker :)

I have a few other things that I'm looking forward to sharing, though. I just started with this because it will hopefully contextualize some of the other content.

youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
Totally. I was thinking about designers when writing the interface and product page.
youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
Thanks for the feedback, that makes a lot of sense. I'll be more clear about pricing on the main page.
youngdynasty··on Show HN: Instantly create a secure URL to your Mac
Thanks for the feedback!

I was indeed trying to explain something technical (i.e. a tunneling service) in a non-technical way in an attempt to be friendly towards designers, but it seems like I still have some work to do on the product page.
