zackchen··on A backdoor in a LinkedIn job offer
I've pretty much have had the same thing to me happen on Fiverr about 10 months ago.

I even did a write up. It was one of the first reverse engineerings I've did. https://gist.github.com/Throvn/97fcb4981c1ff66725d4b2e408ba0...

zackchen··on LibreSprite – open-source pixel art editor
This looks like Aseprite. Aseprite is already open source and you can get it for free, all completely legal. The only caveat is that you need to compile it yourself (which takes 2-5 shell commands). I think this is more than fair, but ripping off Aseprite is not so much. Their license also strictly prohibits that behavior.

Looks great!
zackchen··on Show HN: Free newsletter signup service (because I'm sick of Mailchimp)
Thank you for all that insight! It's gold. Yeah, I also got the impression that the e-mail industry is pretty old, and only a few big players rule them all. I feel that everything is pretty messy still haha, because everyone has their own methods of trying to prevent spam? Thanks for helping out so much!

Simply said, the user will provide the email. No, there is not yet a features page, because there this feature feature is not yet released. In the first release I wanted to focus on getting the newsletter sign-up flow right. To prevent spamming the signup, there are some checks, heavy rate limiting, and an internal rating system in place to determine the likelihood of a real/spam email addresses.

Thank you! Why did you quit? Was it because the market was too competitive or you wanted to focus on something else? 2. Did you mean that my verification email is marked as spam in your inbox? I use firebase and haven't set up the domain yet, so I guess that's why.
