I agree my family couldn't handle it currently, but I think that's a UX problem rather thana protocol problem. I've often fantasized about creating a social network that just creates an inbox for each user and then sends emai

What if it was easy to manage mailing lists? So my email provider allowed my friends to subscribe to my mailing list if they want to hear from me, and unsubscribe when they don't. The good thing about email is: * Everybody has it, *

Serious question: How would such a platform be significantly better than email? I'm genuinely curious as to what features of social networks people think can't be fulfilled by email. The only issue I have with email is convincing

Thanks for taking a look. As per my other comment, there is a hidden field in the form that sets the wordLimit (default 3000, assuming 200wpm average reading speed). Feel free to adjust this value. I'm looking into adding some customis

Thanks for taking a look. There is a hidden form element on the page called wordLimit that defaults to 3000, you can edit the value of this to something lower if you'd like. I hadn't considered counting in terms of paragraphs, I m

Hey HN, I made dripfeed to scratch my own itch. I would frequently find myself leaving several tabs of long-form articles open for weeks at a time, never getting around to reading them, and then eventually just closing them. dripfeed is a s

When I noticed that you linked to a subdirectory, I immediately went to the root and noticed you're serving a raw directory listing at https://www.eliteware.co . I don't expect I'll be the only person to check thi

If headphones don't do the trick, and you want to stop people before they actually bother you, have you tried just putting a sign on your desk or the back of your chair that says not to bother you?

I think it's really about how you define success and failure. For example, you have a great idea for a product and you decide to form a startup to build it. If you define success as "built the product and made lots of money",

The website looks great. I note that you have a few screenshots in the app stores, but none on the website - might be good to add some there too, and if possible, a video would help a lot to demonstrate what it's like to use the app. I

Off-topic, but I find it rather baffling that with uMatrix blocking scripts from ajax.cloudflare.com, the page renders with the article content missing, despite it being included in the page source (just with style="dispay: none")

I built a web app called Bucket for tracking todos, inspired by the technique described in this video[1] whereby you put tasks into buckets based on the time horizon for completion. Your tasks are stored entirely in your browser, so there&#

Not GP but my guess is the attacker removed the proof from his HN profile, and KB sent him an email to let him know.

This isn't a fault of email but the way we use it. I think what you're really saying is that we like to keep personal chat separate from impersonal spam, and I agree with this 100%. Couldn't we do this by keeping two separate

Why can't email do this? Serious question, I've never understood why people refuse to use email for chat. Everybody has email, we don't need to convince people to adopt it or agree on a provider. It should be perfect, and yet

Slightly off-topic, but I just finished reading the section Ant Fugue [1] in Gödel, Escher, Bach , and I think it's the most amazing chapter of any book I've ever read. In it, an anteater describes his relationship with an ant co

Great stuff. My next suggestion would be to make the logos shown in the results clickable to search for them, so that you can explore similar ones quickly. I'm curious if you have a particular use case in mind for this, or was it just

Looks to be a pretty well made site. Just a note that it breaks down a little when there are no auto-complete suggestions for the input - there's no indication at all that there are no auto-complete results or that it won't work w
