This looks like a great product! Can I ask you want sets you apart from other services in this market like Vercel's og-image [0] or other more marketing-heavy sites that let you have more control and customization? Also, I'm reall

This is what my company is currently just getting started with, so I'd be interested in this comparison as well. If Reflect is much better, we still have time to switch.

Back when I was working on another startup, I hired a freelancer friend to create "The Freelance Rate Calculator" [0], which ended up on Sourceful a few months later. Before that, it went viral on Twitter (112,570 impressions) [1]

This is a culturally important moment in which people in all 50 states are holding valid, peaceful protests in response to centuries of injustice. And we have a president who is not only unwilling to listen, but encourages division and hate

This is a terrible measure. The World Wide Web was invented only 30 years ago, yet it's arguably the single most essential service during this time. Without it, social distancing while keeping large parts of the economy alive wouldn&#x

I just made some bread the other day. I'm also trying to get Remake off the ground: https://remaketheweb.com/ Currently working on 3 intro blog posts, as well as coming up with a sustainable pricing model.

A lot of the comments here are missing two key points: 1. Google and Facebook have created really high-standards for what's considered a usable web application 2. HTML is still a language highly optimized for creating static documents,

I prefer having more freedom than a turn-based system provides — the the setup I currently have is actually super simple, but I'll look into this for the next turn-based game I make.

I just tried it out and it was really hard to get started. I couldn't figure out how to edit a game board and there was really little guidance around what to do, like a step 1, step 2, step 3. I had no idea what an "Encounter&quot

Yeah, I love these! Definitely made me want to give it a try! Maybe embed them both the home page somewhere?

This looks great. I love the font! A 2 minute screencast overview video showing the interface would go a long way to making me want to sign up.

This looks great. Do you think your friend might add a short paragraph to the home page explaining what this does? Might engender a little more trust. I'm totally gonna use this to play Codenames with my parents-in-law.

A few friends and I invented a board game several years ago and we all thought this pandemic time would be a great opportunity to get back into it. I set up a real time board game maker online, called DoomGrid[0]. It's very basic and j

Oh, nice, I was completely unaware of this feature. I must have missed it because it's only available inside private or group DMs, not channels!

The one thing I like about Zoom above Discord is the ability to see people's faces. Discord doesn't have this, right? It's nice to use the mini-layout in Zoom and put it off to the side like the article suggests. I'm sti

I guess I'm looking for web-components with really powerful APIs. I could see it happening within the next couple years: building a full web app using only 4-5 new concepts on the front-end, all powered by web components. Any good reso

Yes, I've been down this rabbit hole before :) I'm not just looking for static includes, but dynamic, real-time, editable includes built in to a framework that uses a single syntax to describe a full web app. I'm tired of usi

Yes! I'd never heard of XSL until today, thank you for pointing me to it! This looks exactly like what I'm trying to do. Could you point me to any resources on XSL that would make a good starting point? Or any XSL libraries that h

Actually, that's exactly what I ended up doing. Using HTML alone ended up being too cumbersome. I needed a single source of truth that I could serialize the data into and JSON ended up being perfect. I'm still holding out hope for

I'd like to see someone create a CMS that uses HTML files to store data and let's you query and copy data between the files using CSS selectors. This, to me, would be the simplest CMS. You could just do: <div data-copy-co

This looks really nice on mobile and the default typography is great. I've been looking for something like this for a while to publish a few short non-technical books I've been working on. I'll definitely give it a try!

In my experience, switching from task to task and not being able to maintain focus is a minor form of burnout. It takes energy to stay focused for a long period of time. My advice: take a few months off. Let your mind wander. If you come up

It looks like a programmable version of Notion ( https://www.notion.so/ ). Like, if you were frustrated by Notion's limitations, you could use this to build your own. As well as consume external APIs with it.

When I'm researching apps like yours, the thing I'm most curious about is the experience for my users. If you added a walkthrough showing the user experience for the top 3 most common problems people run into when importing data a

Thank you! I added Strapi and Quasar to the post now. They both look good!

Thanks tyingq! I removed AppMaker and added Knack (which looks awesome btw). I decided against Quickbase because I want to focus on non-enterprisey tools and focus on products that are more friendly to small businesses and solopreneurs.
