Show HN: I have found the world's greatest landing page
- qrohlf 6y agoI was a very happy Codekit user way back in my undergrad days when I hand coded html landing pages as a side hustle. Glad to see Bryan is still making useful, well-marketed apps
- xyzzy_plugh 6y agoAlright, this is pretty good. I typically just go into DND mode, so I'm not sure what the point of this app is, but cute landing page.
- mgkimsal 6y agoI think the point is not having to remember to go in to DND mode.
- aparsons 6y agoThis is brilliant. The simple solution though, is - don’t sign into personal account in a corporate device!
- mesarvagya 6y ago^ This. I try to keep corporate device strictly corporate. No personal sign-in to any service.
- kazinator 6y agoWhen you're screen sharing, you could receive company notifications that you don't want everyone. Firstly, you don't necessarily coworkers to see some notifications. A manager might not want underlings to see their notifications, for instance, like that such and such is going to be laid off. Secondly, who says the screencast is always for coworkers? You don't want a client or investor to see internal company notifications. So, yes, there is a use case for suppressing notifications even if you have no personal logins.
- danmur 6y agoSome of those messages looked like they were from co-workers :P
- Limb 6y agoEven fellow colleagues can send embarrassing notifications on work related accounts. "I can't believe they don't understand such a simple concept" is not something you want appearing in a message addressed to you from a co-worker. I've seen my fair share of embarrassing messages show up from Microsoft Teams when someone else in my corporation is screen sharing.
- criveros 6y agoI only have one computer, my work laptop and I use it for everything.
- markdown 6y agoThis is a brilliant sales page. A landing page isn't quite the same thing.
- DC-3 6y agoThis is obviously made for people with much more exciting lives than me.
- etxm 6y agoGene is living it up.
- m00dy 6y agoI always feel insecure what things will show up in auto-complete in browser address bar during my live demos.
- nicklaf 6y agoAuto-completion of history is something I find annoying to start with. Firefox actually has the great option of removing history from auto-complete, leaving things like open tabs and bookmarks. Auto-completing bookmarks and not history creates a nice little incentive to bookmark stuff you care about, too.
- throw03172019 6y agoThat will be Muzzle’s second product :D
- bamboleo 6y agoSame. That’s why I don’t use my main browser when showing it to others. Chrome has multiple profiles for a reason. If I had to screenshare regularly I’d definitely have a whole dedicated OS profile.
- wdr1 6y agoI just have two Chrome profiles. One for work, one for personal.
- XCSme 6y agoOh, you still get auto-complete in incognito mode. Maybe the solution is to use a different OS user or browser user dedicated for demo purposes.
- danmur 6y agoThis is amazing. I don't own a Mac, and I don't get those kinds of messages, yet I still want to buy it.
- kube-system 6y agoMe too, but apparently it's free.

- 1337_d00dZ 6y agoNow we just need an app that generates these notifications while screensharing!

- mmcwilliams 6y agoThe app terminal-notifier[0] is pretty handy for bash scripts and cron jobs... [0] https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier
- throw03172019 6y agoMan, I wish my life was that exciting. I might get a message from my girlfriend, “what is for dinner?”
- ksherlock 6y agoWith my new SAAS intrig.ue, you can schedule intriguing notifications. Impress your coworkers. Your friends. Your parents. Your hot date. The asshole peeking over your shoulder at the coffee shop. intrig.ue.
- nohat 6y agoExcellent. You should have different premade profiles like SexyMysteriousCool, LovingCharitableResponsible, FunPopularWanted, HasACutePuppy so users don't need to plan how to look interesting.
- gnicholas 6y agoI can't access this URL — what am I doing wrong?
- throw03172019 6y agoI think he is trolling us :D
- gnicholas 6y agoMission accomplished. I thought based on the other comment that it was real. It reminded me of the first app I ever bought for my iPhone: Fake Calls. You could set a timer and then make your phone ring a few minutes later. Very useful when I had to go ask a quick question of a talkative colleague!
- codazoda 6y agoI clicked through to CodeKit and then looked at what was included and saw, "Neat". My heart skipped a beat that they included my simple unknown framework. Then I dug deeper and found "the other Neat". Uhg, it's impossible not to name collide these days. I tried searching for others at the time and didn't find any... Anyways, NeatCSS is my minimalist CSS framework. https://neat.joeldare.com https://neat.joeldare.com
- w-ll 6y agothis post feels kinda shill, i can't downvote so i'll express myself this way.
- anonytrary 6y agoOMG I LOVE IT. I love how they re-create the absolutely annoying nature of getting notifications one after another. Absolutely brilliant. I wish I was important enough for this to be a problem for me /s
- Buttons840 6y agoCould be better if all the notifications vanished as soon as you hit download.
- tungcv 6y agothose notifications are hilarious XD
- ghoomketu 6y agoI don't think dang likes it when you fuck with "Show HN" like this(1). I guess you should remove the Show Hn part from the title. (1) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24750736 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24750736
- nikon 6y agoIf you hold the option key whilst clicking the notifications icon on the far right of the menu, you enable Do Not Disturb. This generally does the same thing for meetings, screen sharing etc.
- _nalply 6y agoThanks! I just learned something new now. To clarify: if you just click, the pane slides in from the right. On my system there's a toggle DO NOT DISTURB (in all caps). However if you option-click, you toggle directly and the notifications icon switches between being grayed out or not.
- cjamesd 6y agoTrue story -- I got hired at a startup, and sometime within my first few days we went into a team meeting. The Chief Product Officer plugs his computer in to present, and Slack is up, showing his direct conversation with HR regarding my salary. Team lead saw that I had been brought on for more than him and quit. Many others threatened to quit, and they had to give a lot of raises. I guess it wasn't a notification but easily could have been. I don't live a life that will put me in a position to be embarrassed by notifications (at least not like on the site), but there is nevertheless a real business need for privacy that is not related to what some might call immoral behavior. I think to expand the reach of this product you might need to take that angle. If Muzzle is meant only to handle embarrassing notifications, I believe it will become embarrassing to have it/be using it. Just my 2 cents.
- 0max 6y agoThat's why they have a toggle to hide the toolbar icon. Source: I'm a user.
- paledot 6y agoI mean, being secretive about employee compensation in order to extract the most work for the least cost is exploitative and immoral. It's just something that everyone does, so somehow that makes it okay.
