   I’m working on a simple site builder, like Linktree but with styling and features more to my own taste. Not sure where it’s going long-term though: https://tray.club

   Opening the garage door: I built this over 2 days, Friday night and Saturday. Thanks to the new search endpoint in the v2 Twitter API, I was able to go from concept to launch really quickly. I definitely wouldn't have been able to bu

    Hi! Author here. I built this because I wanted to be able to unroll Twitter threads to markdown (for import into tools like Roam & Obsidian). It was also a great chance to try Twitter’s new search API released this week. I used NextJS,

    Sharing a concrete example: 4 friends of mine are in a moderately successful band in LA. They have 1M monthly listeners on Spotify, and their top track has 17M plays. Spotify sends them ~$2k/month, which isn’t enough for 4 to live on (

    Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! I really appreciate your feedback, and the encouragement :) I totally agree with you that it feels like this product currently sits in a weird mushy middle – not a great fit for coders on HN, a

    Thanks for this comment, it was really encouraging! Do you know if there’s a community where these Insta founders hang out? I’d love to chat with you more if you’re open to it, I’m @benzguo on twitter!

    Yeah, I’ve been thinking that too. Low-code definitely feels like the space for this, and I just need to go find that community :)

    Definitely early stages – mostly looking for feedback on the landing page / demo! Agree that it’s hard to compete with more full-service solutions like Auth0/Firebase. Maybe there’s some variant of this, like self-hosted, that co

    Thanks for the feedback! This is definitely early stages – mostly looking for feedback on the product and landing page, but I’m definitely embarrassed you ran into that Firebase error! I built the admin side using Firebase auth to get start

    Thanks for the feedback! Currently passwordless email confirmation is the only supported login flow, but I’m thinking about building alternatives like Twitter OAuth, or a password based flow. Does the pricing model make this less appealing

    That makes sense – I’ve had the same feeling, but was curious if there was a niche, hence this post! Is there a price point at which you would consider using something like this?

    I’ll try to make this clearer, thanks for the feedback! You’d pay both, the Loginland fee on top of Stripe’s rate. (This is a pretty common pricing model for platforms – BuyMeACoffee has a similar 5% rate on top of Stripe). Open to suggesti

    Thanks for the feedback! I’m open to changing the fee – is there a % fee you would be more comfortable with?
