In what way does this help people with hashtags? What problem is adressed? Just by looking at the use of hashtags by my non-technical acquaintances on Twitter or Facebook, nobody seems to have a problem with them. #confused
Idea for your next website: de-hashtagify a text. Implementation: something like s/#//g on the input text.

- esusatyo 13y agothe developer here: yes, that is what it's about :)

- nicholassmith 13y agoIt's an excellent riposte to the frankly silly amounts of hash tagging that's now occurring. I personally blame Instagram for it as the root cause.
- esusatyo 13y agoyeah, if there's enough people who are confused about what this is about, I might write a blog post about it.
- jschulenklopper 13y agoYeah, thought about that too. Not very effective satire then, because this HN-announcement and the tweets by the developers don't give any hint that this is to be considered a joke. (Even though they would want it to appear as such by now.) Well, another example covered by Poe's law.
- nicholassmith 13y agoI got that it was a joke straight away, maybe the humour hasn't carried well across the medium.
