   Nice work automating this process! I had a similar idea but music licensing is tough so I never thought it could survive in an app store without getting sued into oblivion. Maybe if it only read the user's own library of songs? Are yo

   If this doesn't work I suggest pivoting to nutritional supplements. There is a lot of uncertainty on the quality of products in that market.

   Looks great - I'll see if I like this better than Buffer when I have time to try it out. I can't believe how bad Buffer sucks. Sometimes video uploads don't work, you can't select more than 2 video thumbnails, max GIF up

   Their machine learning algorithm is probably optimized to reduce churn and keep subscribers at any cost. By making people search and find content, there might be some subconscious effect on people that makes them think the service has more

   Ok someone else mentioned their startup so I'll mention mine. My startup is a free cartoon maker: https://www.superanimo.com There's a ton of competitors in a similar space but I think mine is the best if you want to

   Meh - it didn't work that well when I tried it. [1] Params I used were {architecture: 'ResNet50', outputStride: 32, quantBytes: 2}, with segmentMultiPerson function. The same images DeepLab handles perfectly. [2] If anyone se

   Wow that's impressive. Is this library MIT license or something else? I would try using this to cutout people from images/gifs for my animation platform SuperAnimo: https://www.superanimo.com

   To break habits it should have the same form factor as a phone case. Even better if it was a reloadable flipbook phonecase with super-thin paper. If you can swipe through the flipbook you'd get a similar feeling as using a phone but b

    That's what I was thinking about my project. Only took me 8 years (on the side) to make a cartoon maker/meme editor that exports to MP4 and I get paid $0 for it and have no traffic: https://www.superanimo.com

    And how did you feel about Kapwing recently getting $11 million funding for the same thing? This is how I felt: http://www.superanimo.com/animos/mfw-competitor-gets-11-mil-...

    Is it still 404 for you if you don't mind me asking? From what location? Over the weekend AWS reported my instance health went to Bad for a bit not sure why.

    Hah - yes I do. The project is just a mess. The main thing that makes this project work is this great scene-graph based animation library: https://github.com/hyperandroid/CAAT If it wasn't for that I would have

    I still prefer that method. With frameworks I'm always worried if it's me or the framework when something goes wrong. You also don't have to worry about build tools or if npm update will suddenly break your application. I h

    That's why this feels like a publicity stunt to shame Microsoft. If you've made millions of dollars from selling something - I don't feel like you have the right to shame the buyer especially if you're only offering 25%

    I tried SnappySnippet before when looking into the idea - it didn't work well for me and crashed often. I never saw DesignPirate, but just now I tried it and it didn't output any CSS. I'm not sure but it doesn't look l

    More and more research is showing procrastination to be an emotion management problem. [1] That's why it's been really helpful for me to start keeping a journal. It helps increase self-awareness and helps when I get off-track on

    I never tested a url with a port number so that could be it. I'll have to look at that this weekend. It will be smart enough to grab everything but I'm still working out the issues. The extension version only runs once, but for

    Do you mind me asking which site you tried it on? I haven't had it crash in a while where it produces nothing while snipping. Maybe you found a new way to crash it. What if you try it on this site? (HackerNews as a test) Also your Ch

    It doesn't account for user interaction but I might attempt to do something for that in the future. The desktop version uses puppeteer so I do force a hover state on each element and get extra psuedo selectors by doing that. I'm

    Thanks for letting me know! The homepage doesn't have a link to the pricing page so I didn't think anyone would find that. I'll let you know when it's ready!

    Thanks! I haven't thought much about marketing yet - when it's ready I'll try submitting it to ShowHN, ProductHunt and dev subreddits.

    I'm hoping to make SnipCSS part of my workflow so a desktop version means I could have it more closely tied to an IDE. For example I could import code snippets, manage extracted Fonts/Images, or even analyze the existing project

    Why not release a completely different framework if things are changing so much? Here's a rule for framework creators... if your framework is changing more than jQuery has in its entire 13 years of existence, save everybody the pain&#x

    There are no tabs in basic HTML view. That pretty much makes it unusable to me.
