For whoever built this app: I was checking HN in bed. I clicked your app and noticed the ISS would be passing overhead in less than a minute. My reaction was to immediately jump up, yell at my kids to run with me outside. We didn't kno

If you want passive income with no work, then you have to supply capital. If you don't have capital, then work is required. Unfortunately there are no passive income businesses that require zero capital and zero work. They just don&#x2

I built Flipmeme a while back. Finally got around to a re-design. It's been a really great side project. Been hovering around 250k uniques for while. List view is also cool! http://flipmeme.com/listview/frontpage

I was curious to see how it was able to run so snappy. It actually feels like the help section for a native app. I found the source code: https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs It's not really using a client side fram

I completely agree this is awesome. Would be very interested in a detailed write up of every detail behind this project. In the meantime, you can just ride into the sunset knowing you've provided someone with their daily inspiration.

Wow, I played this game when I was a kid. Can't believe it's just running inside the browser. Great job.

The real story here is capital in the form of private equity. Engineering is a commodity, it can be bought, there are tons of great engineers in the world. Getting access to capital to take these big bets requires some serious clout, influe

Thanks so much. Do you have a MVP that is on the web that we can see?

Thank you! It's very hard to monetize this at this point. The traffic is too low. I would rather focus on growing it first before I start to think about monetization.

Agree 100%. Good data is very expensive and even then many times needs additional cleaning. Public data sources are for the most part unusable.
