There does seem to be evidence that X (formerly Twitter) is a dying platform, but what surprised me here is that longtime platforms like Snapchat, Reddit and even Pinterest get more MAUs than X - and this is more October 2025: https:/

I have found that: - If I ask Claude to go and build a product idea out for me from scratch, it can get quite far, but then I will hit quota limits on the pro plan ($20pm). - I have not drunk the Kool-aid and tried to indulge in ClaudeMaxxi

Hello throwaway150 and ThrowawayR2, I wanted to share the demo to show what's possible with Claude Code in a short window of time (I only started building this on Friday evening, and I've spent probably no more than 6-7 hours in t

Yeah it's still a bit buggy on that front, will try and tweak it manually to get it right. Fun bit, if you hit the ball against the billboard on desktop, it will open the link for the billboard advert and then bounce off.

Yeah I'd like to know too. I presume I should have put "Show HN" beforehand. Perhaps this isn't the place to post demos of what is possible with tech nowadays.

I completely get where this person is coming from (being interested in lots of things, diving down rabbit holes and then losing passion and moving onto the next interesting thing). It feels like minimising distractions is one piece of the p

I can relate exactly to what he's described. This decade (the 2020's) has definitely thrown a lot of curveballs.

In theory you can change the licence and hope that those that use the software respect the licence terms, but that depends on trusting others. I think of the case of the Russian programmer who was arrested and jailed for stealing proprietar

I got rung in the UK I think a month ago from someone claiming to be from Coinbase. I told them I only had about £5 of Bitcoin cash in my account (which was true), and they immediately lost interest and said a forthcoming email would handle

I think the scepticism around whether the AI firms can provide the return on investment for their capital expenditure plan is completely understandable. It reminds me of a mini-story within Michael Lewis' Flash Boys - there was a massi

Oh my word Riak - I haven't seen that DB mentioned for years! I totally get the point it makes. I remember many years ago we announced SocketStream at a HackerNews meet-up and it went straight to #1. The traffic was incredible but none

Looking at the portfolio of businesses that Bending Spoons has, it's like a who's-who of 2010s startups. It'll be interesting to see what they do with AOL. That business itself was an amalgamation of other businesses over tim
