1059 days ago, my buddy posted our project (Show HN: An open-source media hosting service that's anonymous and fast https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6189397 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6189397). It's been dead over a year now, we got to the point where we had to pay for server upgrades and realized that donations hadn't improved, ad revenue was shit, and we couldn't justify paying more out of our own pockets to maintain it.
322 days ago, I posted my tiling window manager for wayland: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11224608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11224608. It's still going very well, I have thousands of users and just today was providing support in the IRC channel and talking with some contributors about features they want to implement.
- frakkingcylons 10y agoWhich ad networks did you use/consider?
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoProject Wonderful.
- frakkingcylons 10y agoKnowing what you know now, do you think using a different one would have made a difference?
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoMaybe. Part of the problem is that we were strict about user privacy and most ad networks felt too invasive.
- lanceloth 10y agoMan, I'm a huge fan of your work. I'm using sr.ht a lot ; used Knight OS and saw your TrueCraft repo somewhere a while ago. What a great job man. Thanks for your code. :)
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoThanks!
