In the case of TikTok and Afghan folk poetry, there is just no way that I would have been able to reach the audience of tens of thousands that I have without TikTok. I didn't even have to do anything besides upload videos; their algori

I initially entered the US on an L1 visa. Somewhere along the way I met my wife and we got married, so my I-485 was a family-based petition. I used the same lawyer (privately) that my company used for the L1 petition to file I-485, I-130, I

I'm personally better off. Not sure that would be the case for you or others. Re: food- Fresh produce in the PNW is incomparable imo. Never had anything like it in the world. In the UK I was largely limited to Sainsbury's etc., wh

I think as a Brit I'm still technically in the "We". ;) What I have realized since living in the US is that every state is wildly different. Even regions within states are wildly different. Of course, I knew this before movin

I left the UK for the US in 2019. My I-485 was approved this week. I haven't been able to travel back to the UK since 2019 first because of Covid and then because of the pending I-485 petition. I'll be going back for the first tim

This is a great comment. Over the last year I have become a creator. I teach and translate Afghan folk poetry on TikTok, I livestream code contributions to a complex open source project on YouTube, and I'm thinking of starting to strea

This is such an excellent comment that sums up so much of the feelings that come up when I read/see/hear the kind of "nationalism" (for lack of a more accurate word) in the parent post.

Don't mind me, I'm just going to go around this parody thread downvoting anyone who talks about their small bootstrapped passion projects, accusing small funded companies that people like of astroturfing, and then storming off in

Something that could read the screen at any point in time, across apps and flag/filter NSFW images, all running with a local model and no outgoing internet connections would be pretty neat.

Looks like a great tool for recovering addicts everywhere. I hope to see more innovation in this space, particularly on mobile.

Right now I'm quite humbled by the number of people who are using Notado[1] to liberate their Twitter Liked Tweets before the collapse that everyone is worrying about. There are also thousands of people using a tiling window manager fo

Mine is a little bit different as I am an RSS producer as well as a consumer. I curate my own RSS feeds (in my profile for the curious) which are topic-specific and for which the items contain highlights from articles/comments rather t

I use WSL2 as my daily development driver and it is a very pleasant experience. My road here was from macOS to Pop!_OS to WSL2 with Arch. The only missing piece for me was a tiling window manager, so I developed my own for Windows based on

You make your highlights on a physical Kindle or Kindle app as usual, and then go to https://read.amazon.com , select the book that you want to import the highlights for and right click to import them. There are other services av

It's a little bit different to Pinboard and Delicious; it's private by default and you can choose to share things in public feeds if you want, but instead of sharing bookmarks in the feeds, you share text highlights (ie. the thing

Kindle-only right now as it's the biggest piece of the pie and what I use personally, but let me look into the KOreader highlights storage format and see if I can hook you and the other KOreader users with something.

I don't want to derail the comments on this post too much, but it's called Notado (another commenter has already linked it) and I have posted about it a few times on HN before (all in my submissions history). There are quite a few

Yes, Notado is the labour of love that I'm talking about in the parent post :)

Over the years I've realized that I don't actually care for or need the "note taking" part of applications like these. What I need is a textual data store that can be efficiently and effectively indexed, searched and (au

PlanetScale is such a cool name, fits really well for a database company. Just goes to show that even these days when I think that naming something new is impossible, there is still a lot of room to be creative.

I've unfortunately had this experience many times in the Javascript ecosystem as a whole. I recently started writing about going back to a Rust project (check my submissions if you're interested) after 2 years and the experience c

I feel you may be a bit more optimistic than I am about how many people will pay to use Notado once the free beta ends. ;) It's not something I've thought extensively about. I imagine the worst case scenario (outside of having to

Really interesting to see these sorts of comparisons both as someone who was previously a heavy user of Pinboard and really admired what Maciej was able to achieve with solid execution on a simple idea. One thing that I found really lacking
