I regret not taking a screenshot of http://skimfeed.com http://skimfeed.com at the start. Then I made some DB changes and now I can't remember the colors I used. So it's all weird and orange. Tip for startups: save! And get that DB right first time.

Do you not use version control?
- brador 13y ago
  I started using version control later in the process. First few iterations, were live coding/happy-hacking.

    yeah I'm starting to think that mkdir should be 'mkdir + cd + git init'

      Why not just make mkdir an alias for git init?
      - agumonkey 13y ago
        Because I never read the manual and thus never used git init without being in a fresh dir, so you're right. alias mkdir='git init' # or mkprj, mkp, mkdirp ... ?

archive.org can help with this, too. The earliest for your site is: https://web.archive.org/web/20120908180933/http://skimfeed.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20120908180933/http://skimfeed.c..., which is within a day of when your twitter account was created. (although this might not be early enough and generally people shouldn't rely on archive.org caching their site.)

  Yeah i've seen the archive, but that was around iteration 3. Is there anything that snapshots or caches websites that hit HN?

    Couldn't find anything during a quick search. If you do a Google image search for 'skimfeed' you'll find screenshots for when it was written up on various sites. (although images might not be as ideal as HTML the screenshots might not include what you are looking for).

      Never thought to do that! Thanks.
