   I resisted using 1Password for a long time but then once I got into the 1P world, it was better than all the alternatives. LastPass is unsafe, Dashlane has subpar experience, and all the proprietary ones are missing tons of features. Chrome

    I've learned from HN posts over the last 10 years that Paypal and Ebay are two of the worst places to do any kind of business, let alone hold any money there.

    I also paid for it, my first font I paid for just for aesthetics and personal enjoyment. I don't regret it. I use it anywhere and everywhere I can!

    As is with all things in the JS world, I usually ignore new things until they have some traction. Is Bun ready to be used for production projects?

    I'm a huge fan of using PlanetScale, I've been using it for a few projects recently and can't wait to try out the "Boost" feature when it becomes available. I think it will reduce one more thing from my stack (cachi

    I've been reading HN almost daily for almost a decade now. I found it through a friend who has taught me a lot about programming, the internet, and nerdy things in general. When I discovered HN, it felt like I had a whole community of

    I’m currently unable to sleep and I’m on my phone, so I can’t code and I’m thinking about how to implement an easy to use audio player on my site [1]. I have been slowly making progress on it as a side project and it has been a fun learning

    Out of all the HN extensions/websites I've used, this one has become my favorite. I really like the customizations available and also, it really does feel "modern" in that some things just feel easier to do with this too

    Yup, this has been very helpful. Coming back to 20+ messages where 50-75% of them are reactions was annoying to get alerts for.

    Turqoise health kinda does this now, not as robust yet but I have been using it to check out prices. Hopefully, your use case becomes a reality soon.

    You can also use a custom domain (and/or anything else Fastmail lets you choose), this way you can put all the randomly generated emails coming to you in a single folder (as a rule).

    Pretty amazing how quickly my brain just started thinking of the cursor going in the opposite direction. By the 5-7th trial, my hand and brain were pretty in sync. Then going back to the normal movement I was 0.41 seconds slower.

    Great job! This along with the WorkLouder boards really excites me in pushing forward in the mech keyboard scene. We have a ton of makers who are replicating stuff to make it cheaper but these projects are what will push the envelope on wha
