This is the bit that is scaring me, as someone who manages website for clients..

I really love how it looks, and congrats on getting it live. Immediate feedback: - a page, obviously linked from a banner / menu which describes what this thing is, how it works and who it is for. It may be obvious(ish) to HN but don’t

That's exactly right. Any product is essentially made up of a gazillion small tasks, whether setting up a framework or writing a database query. If just some of those small tasks can be made quicker / easier using these tools, the

12 years into running a tiny digital consultancy with my wife. We've used an "associate" model for all that time - a posh way of saying "a network of trusted freelancers". We've deliberately chosen not to take

Totally. It's a story about love and yet that's not the thing most people are responding to. I notice this a lot. When I wrote a blog post about the Remarkable 2 recently and it ended up on HN, very few of the comments were about

FWIW - the sync service provided by Obsidian is really worth paying for. Dropbox / Github just aren't as slick and integrated. The mobile app doesn't work without sync (not without some really nasty workarounds), the option

Ace, thanks, will see if there's stuff we can do with our client base - will be in touch :-)

Amazing. Simon, do you know of any museums using this (I know of your niche museum site!) - but thinking more museum collections? Would love a conversation.

It’s cool, I like it, congrats on getting something out the door :-) Would be cool if you could share - if the url updated as you edited?

Note to HN commenters: it's always nice to think, and express, "wow, you shipped a thing" before diving into a solid wall of criticism. This fella has got over the biggest, greatest hurdle of them all - actually getting somet

Been using Preview for years and only the other day did I realise you can redact stuff. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Agree - a UK without WhatsApp would be a UK in revolt. Literally everyone I know from teens to oldies organises their lives on it. Lack of WhatsApp would be enough to drag our sorry apathetic lazy non-protesting arses out onto the street

I've been using Kagi[0] for a while now and it's pretty great in general - but also has options to boost up / down / totally ignore certain domains. It also has "lenses" that let you set a context (example: I&#

There's certainly a lot of baggage carried by almost everyone almost all the time. We spend a big chunk of our lives worrying that X thing will happen, and another big chunk of our lives worrying that Y thing did happen. And yet we onl

I appreciate your response to my response :-) I agree to a certain extent, although I probably don't quite see proximity to family as massively different from proximity to friends. I personally think kids being brought up in "gene

Yeh, we run a small web consultancy. I also have another business which is a little more platform-y / SaaSy. Wife has also learned how to be a florist so is building that up too. All fun stuff :-)

Sure - well, my wife is from the North East so her parents are problematic from a travel point of view, and definitely worse now given that we don't have easy access to trains / airports now. We've mitigated this by having th

My midlife crisis at 40 was more like a midlife epiphany. We moved from a perfectly good and totally beautiful city (Bath, UK) into the arse end of nowhere in Devon to live in a shack in the woods with no running water and to be near the se

+1 to this. I actually use both - Google photos for utility / sharing and Synology Photos for backup. It's good, easy to setup on both my device and my wife's.

This. The hilarity of the HN crew when it comes to personal blogging is just endlessly behind compare. “I just boot up a new Docker instance, grunt the next.js out of my Hugo, netlify the MD files and sync my media using my homegrown jamsta

Yes. This IMO is one of the 3 key issues with federation as it is now: 1. Noone understand what "federation" is so they all flock to the big servers hence making the majority of the system totally non-federated in nature 2. Findab

This. A smaller team without all the b/s is going to have way more impact than a monster bloater full of "happiness engineers".

Kagi is really, really good. Lenses (where you can setup set filters for particular search use cases) are particularly good. Very happy to see them raising, and very happy to give them my $10 each month. Money well spent.

What a cracking article. I nodded so much my neck hurts. I'm 50 and although by HN standards, not a proper nerd (I'm a ..."web generalist?" - more project manager who can dabble in code than anything ey) and I've se
