It's a tool and it depends on how you use it. If you tell it to fix your grammar with minimal intervention to the actual structure it will do just that.

Which uptime checker tool would be based on status pages (owned by the marketing department)? That defeats the whole purpose.

Not sure if that was changed since then, but it's not bold for me and also readable. Maybe browser rendering?

Requiring a user to use cryptocurrency sounds like a great way to not have a lot of users.

If you look at these companies it's never aimed at the privacy enthusiast use case. They are aiming for mass-sms outreach, anti-bot measures and sell them in bundles of 1000s.

Yea, same feeling here. I did that for a while but in the end I maybe went ahead and blocked one address in over 10 years of doing that. It was more of a hassle than it was worth, especially if you want to do password resets and you have to

If you are in that business the question isn't really if it's against the rules or not, but if it's possible. You can use your in-game currency that you've gotten through whatever means to get a physical product that you

These days I just use https://www.irccloud.com/ as it comes with a decent mobile app and a good web interface and everything is in sync like any modern chat app. Getting this working with znc is a lot of work.

That’s duplicate content and Google doesn’t like that. You can set the canonical url etc. but in the end the URLs will not make the difference between a user understanding the interface or not.

In my opinion that's not good advice. Over the past 11 years this domain already built up some domain reputation and incoming links. Changing the domain for no good reason won't help with people understanding the use case of the s

That's a lot of assumptions unless you know their internal numbers and customer feedback. I've talked to many people building products and often they themselves are surprised what's needed to get certain larger customers, eve

Most people can not differentiate between a web app in a browser and if an app they start through an icon on their computer is a wrapper around a website. People on HN who care if it’s built with Rust, Swift or an Electron app aren’t really

For us technical people "native" means something different than it does for regular users. It just means they have an app for their platform and not just a web app.

Do you see a regular user researching, downloading and setting up a third party email client or is it more likely they click the download button on Fastmail and log in with their account? That’s the beauty of open standards, everyone can ch

I don’t get the negative sentiment here. I know that as someone who uses a third party email client to use Gmail / Fastmail via manually configured IMAP I’m a very tiny minority. Most people probably use the web interface or the Gmail

You can very easily turn that argument around and say: if you are smart enough, use an operating system that doesn't babysit you and switch to Linux which is a very valid option.

Isn’t Pinboard (Who bought delicious) very similar? I also see bookmarks of my friend there, recently switched to Raindrop though as it’s much more maintained.

I get that point as a person who frequents HN, but for many regular people that’s probably a net positive. People would install random apps or browser extensions just to gain an advantage in some Facebook click came. Having some kind of hid

> feel the urge to come up with frequently wrong tidbits Isn’t that a very subjective and personal preference. Why do you feel people’s reasons are not valid? You don’t have to convince everyone.

I’m going to give Typesense a try today. I’m just working on a Rails app and went from Meilisearch (which is great) to Elastic for some more complex aggregation queries but this seems like a good option for instant search like behavior too.
