Just patched the server - I opened up free account interactions last minute, seems post-creation was omitted in my sweep. Post creation should be working now on free accounts. Thank you for the detailed reports of issues you faced!

Going directly to a tag view will let you browse without logging in: i.e. https://non.io/#all or https://non.io/#dog I've still got plenty of work to do on the UX of the site!

Yes ish, as currently I'm doing payouts via Stripe Connect (and likewise only paying out in countries that Stripe Connect supports, as it takes care of that aspect). Everything is theoretical until battle-tested however.

100% agree with everything said here. My original plan was to pay for ~100 users accounts and seed the site with content for a proper launch. Given what's happening today though, it felt at least pertinent to show off the current state

Are you using a password manager? If so which? If you add the letter "a" at the end, and then delete it, does it work then? I'm using webcomponent form elements, the spec for which is relatively new. I suspect it isn't w

Interesting, I was able to sign up with it. Can I ask if you're using a password manager / what browser you're using? Also for context, instead of testing password length/number of characters, I look for overall entropy

It's funny, I originally pitched this about 8 years ago to some VCs, and Spotify was the example I used as a platform that could do things much better. Turned down the funding offers I got, and kicked things off in more of a slow-burn

First launch learnings. It's something I'd definitely have done a bit more if I were more prepared, but I mainly launched today because of the current situation, not because I had thought through all aspects of launch and felt rea

I have, but I think the two of these feel like different models. I want to encourage people to contribute back to creators, and doing that across the fediverse is a very difficult problem to solve. A few platforms are trying to do it, but i

Yep, still working through the financial aspects. The financials page is definitely demo data! This link should let you subscribe: https://non.io/admin/first-time-signup if you're really keen. That said, I've

Fair. I removed login requirements for browsing. You should be able to see all posts here: https://non.io/#all As a disclaimer, this is truly me just launching today, there's only 4 posts currently.

Looks like someone's first action logging in was setting the password to something else. I've reset it back to "helloworld".

Some other fun tidbits: I'm trying to make this an API-first service, with the frontend being just a representation of how to use it. Because of that, I wanted to make the frontend as reusable/refactorable as possible, regardless

I've written a bit about this before, but fundamentally Reddit has a misalignment between the needs of the user and the needs of the platform[1]. There's a great list of alternatives here, https://www.reddit.com/r&

Some things I find interesting: 1. They're not backing down at all, and even explicitly mention that Apollo/RIF/Sync will be going down because of this. 2. It looks like they are backtracking a bit on the moderation tools tha

So I actually think this model does weigh for better content, but I'd love your thoughts here since it seems like you're thinking about this as well. Part of the reason why I want engagement to be paid only, is because when you fa

And I only brought prod down for 15s or so when I missed a bracket in the production server frontend package I was editing in vim! I call that a success.

Yea my bad there - fwiw I added a hot patch to the frontend to accept hackernews as a valid "email" since I couldn't update the parent comment. It should work now, but j+hn@jjcm.org was the email used.

High risk high reward! I do have nsfw tags and logic baked into the site, but it is risky if the site is perceived as being for nsfw content. Having it is fine, it being the main use case though means I wouldn’t be able to use Stripe as a

This is 100% correct! I'm prioritizing self-hosted OC over external linking, mainly because my priority was finding a way to reward creators. Allowing external links would be fairly trivial, but I'd have to think through the monet

Has there been any official confirmation of the number of parameters used in gpt4? Pages around the web seem to have conflicting reports on the number, ranging from 1T to 170T, but there doesn't seem to be anything official.

Australia is very similar to this, with the exception of activation codes in the post. Australia is pretty digital-first for their services, so you just sign in with your government ID and navigate to your taxes. Everything is pre-filled. I
