I’ve been using Nhost for the past year and both the software and founders have been really great. There’s a vibrant discord community, an active group of contributors, and it all makes for a very productive stack. Highly recommended!

I just recently launched https://slideswithfriends.com for exactly this purpose — it's a slide-based game builder with a bunch games made for team building. Imagine Jackbox-meets-Powerpoint but designed for companies. We ha

This looks really neat and I'd love to connect and talk about partnering somehow. I'm working on a related project[1] aimed at the same problem but with a slightly different take. We don't do game hosting and our software is

I'm working on a game builder to make remote team events more fun — imagine a trivia or Jackbox-style game customized specifically for your company or team. The UI is mirrored after a presentation/slide builder (e.g. Powerpoint) b

Just applied. I've been looking for something like this for the past few months — we've recently shipped our MVP and I'm gearing up for the long push to find good marketing channels and the right features/message to fit.

Interesting feature release even though it doesn't impact many of us (e.g. 150k/yr buy-in). I'm very curious to see exactly what level of personalization and per-user optimization their Optimize360 suite offers. I think this

"Valuations are based on what the company might accomplish (potential energy), not what it's actually accomplishing (kinetic energy)"... I'm not exactly sure why but for some reason this metaphor irks me. Just seems like

I agree with you on this, but generally they'd have an easier job of it if they worked as a connected mesh rather than independent controllers. I can't say for certain but it doesn't seem like the added engineering time would

I agree with this entirely. I've been waiting patiently for a way to add microphone distance to my Echo and this is perfect for that... except it doesn't work that way. I am very much hoping they fix it in the future and add a sof

This is a better product than the original. They added one of the most requested features (audio out) and didn't remove anything important (unless you don't have a better plug-in speaker system). The biggest oversight is now the f

Congrats guys this is pretty exciting. We've used unsplash in a lot of our projects (some pretty heavily) and it's always nice to see that the biggest source for original cc0 photos is alive and growing strongly. Keep up the good

Hey HN, co-founder of Glyphs here. We're trying to make SVGs much much easier to use. The SVG format is in a similar place to where font-embedding was years ago when TypeKit was founded (somewhat complicated, multiple best-practices ba

Very cool! Love the inclusion of SVG and not just canvas, I'm personally very invested in that format so it's nice to see the tech being pushed forward.

It's been pretty clear for a while now that data has enormous financial and strategic value.. But that doesn't mean code _isn't_ the future. You really don't have much value out of one without the other, at least in the

Excellent read. Especially interesting trying to figure out all of the behind the scenes reasons for writing this essay, timing, content, etc. My co-founder is a woman and we have a somewhat similar dynamic: she doesn't write as much,

I always love seeing clever ways to be random. Hadn't considered this one but it's a pretty good idea, and I'm sure there are even better ways to run with the basic concept (maybe analyzing color values of recent pinterest or

Interesting changes, seems like the trend of pulling items out of icon-based menus and into persistent nav is gaining speed. I'm not sure how I feel about the full-width pages yet.. easier to read commit messages but stylistically I di
