The "long range doorbell that doesn't do evil things" seems like a product space that is a bit of a vacuum. We've recently had an office built at the end of our garden. Finding a doorbell that will work from the front of

Your point doesn't really work, if it is "at the heart of any left wing moderate is a left wing fringe lunatic" because obviously you could just claim the same of the right, and suggest that every moderate right wing has fasc

You're right. And they shouldn't. Being liberal is about being able to take on opposing views.

Couldn't agree more. The airtime on this topic is insane. People's email signatures filled with their pronouns. The anger. The division. I get it's an emotive conversation but then so are gay rights, gender rights, race right

Absolutely stunning. I work with loads of museums who are always looking for ways to tell interactive stories. I'll be sharing this with them and may be in touch with you :-)

Hey - thanks - I reckon a hybrid would work well. So the tiers for those that are happy with a regular payment, or a "pay per page" for those like me who are maybe more project based. Will be interesting to see what you do!

Really nice. I'm definitely your market (micro digital agency owner) - but feedback on pricing: I think it's the wrong model. I'd prefer to pay per project rather than per month. I think this makes more sense at the lower end

It's nice but it frustrates me when people use digital toys rather than real ones. Blocks, Lego, trains, dinosaurs, books - real, tangible, pickupable items are waaaaay better for kids. In my humble (yes, and old fashioned) opinion, mo

Every time I think about developing a product I'm put off by the hell that is SEO. The whole landscape is just horrible, full of snake oil sellers. It's not like the end result is any good either: man, Google results are so fkn bl

I'd suggest mindfulness before you do anything else. In fact I'd suggest a formal, longer term, structured bit of mindfulness specifically - look up "MBSR" which is an 8 week stress reduction approach. I'd recommend

Why God why make a map and not let people actually move around it LIKE A MAP. Madness.

There was a time that companies paid back into their local communities, funding schools and parks and infrastructure. It was normal until relatively recently for a pretty big chunk of profit to be "distributed" in this way. And it

Well, I'm glad he got to the bit about freedom. Literally the most important part of being self employed. Choose your days, you haven't got many of them.

That’s the trope. But it’s not true, provided you know what you’re doing, don’t use $50 a year hosting, don’t install a gazillion plugins, and keep stuff up to date. Which, as I say, is the same for Every Bit Of Software Ever. Like, conside

Yeh, sure - but two things come out of this "dominance". One: the enormous quantity of support online. Have a problem with littleknownbutcoolcms? You're stuffed. Have a problem with WP? 10 gazillion people have written about

This just isn’t the case if it’s done well. If you do need help doing it then migratedbpro or migrateguru are seamless. It’s, like, really really easy to move Wordpress.

Every time there’s a WP post on HN, there’s the inevitable haters. The ones who say things like “just setup a static site with a CI pipeline”. The understanding of audience here is pretty bad. Your average business owner wants to focus on t

That’s a pretty bad comparison. The entire reason WP is a better solution than SS and Wix is it’s extensibility, data portability and usability. Plus: what headaches? Do it well, keep it updated ( uh, yeh, like literally ALL the software, e

It's just blindingly obvious to me that some services absolutely have to come under some kind of longer term (and therefore state) control, and preferably away from the whims of political change. You absolutely can't build infrast

Have just taken a proper look - it's cool but I can't see a way to sign in. I made an account on my mobile but now want to access it on my desktop. I would have assumed I'd just use the same email and it'd send me a logi
