   Been saying this for years. The www is already a social network.

   I guessed that might be the reason, smart move. Have you tried a webform in the past which resulted in a lot of crappy submissions?

   It might sound stupid, but I'm not a git or github user, I would rather fill in a webform to submit a new website and feed.

   Everything clicks nice, so to speak. A nice UI you have there. I would suggest you explain what it's about in one sentence, just like you explain in your HN profile. The About-page says not so much. You can add some explanation there,

   Not to take away from your experience, but I wrote my own simple self-hosted RSS reader and it has no problems at all with around 2000 feeds I throw at it regularly. About 1% of the feeds does not parse for me, probably because of incorrect

   Nice. I like how clicking a tag also makes the word 'tag' light up.

   I'm not a native English speaker, but since when became 'lessons' a 'learnings'?

   A couple of millennia might suffice. ;) Thanks for the input. The engraving pen on glass is a good one. Any experience with it?

   Thanks! I appreciate the input. Do you just use regular graphite pencils, like with the HB scale or something?

    Thanks for the insight. Acid-free paper sounds like the way to go. Do you have experience with this? Or is it common knowledge? Just curious! I also read letters from my grandparents, stored by my parents in a simple shoe box. No special co

    I could google it, but I would rather ask HN: what are the best pens (or pen(cil)/paper-combination) for keeping written text as long as possible? I had some Stabilo pen which was very nice ergonomically, but the blue ink faded within

    I've done that the past couple of years two handfuls of times. Mostly to people I discovered on HN, with a nice hardware or software project. Only once did I get a nasty reply (probably because I was too much in my enthusiasm), so I&#x

    Also from 37signals, somewhere in their first book they talked about the importance of 'evergreen' things people always want, things like 'the speed of software'. As a junior dev I didn't really get the point or tho

    I used some strange wording when I read it back, but that's what I meant.

    I forgot to say, most of these 2000 feeds I have from here on HN. Please keep posting on your own website/blog and 'share' with RSS.

    Nice! I'm also around 2000 feeds in my reader, carefully selected over a couple of years. Only difference: I always click through to the website to read an article. Now in the process of slowly making RSS my only social feed. Have a ha

    What is also fun is to just say 'hi' or 'hello' to random strangers, accompanied by a smile. I usually do that on the sidewalk (western Europe), but other places might also be fair game. I made an active effort to just g

    You basically just 'forced' me to read your comment. Aren't you talking to a stranger here?

    Yeah, polarizing! /s I have a better idea. Why not distinguish quality from non-quality by reading a series of characters and then deciding for yourself if you like the subject and tone of voice? People themselves can choose how many c

    I don't get it. What's wrong with a website and email address on your own domain, so you can be part of the decentralized world wide web?

    by rambambram 8mo ago

    That's not what I meant. I mean more in the sense of the need to define something in a strict way while it's as soft as can get. The need for definitions, the need for authority, the need for external proof, that stuff.

    This is the most awkward comment section I've read in a long time. Programmers talking about 'taste'... ouch.

    Microsoft is only doing something about this now because there's enough evidence for a lawsuit. I don't know about the US, but the author seems to be from The Netherlands. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I don't know the ex

    This exactly. The post you reply to implies they have discovered something very novel, which they did not. I don't remember which ancient king it was, but they already tried thousands of years ago to make codes of law with every situat

    You're using the word "discriminate" in bad faith, don't do that. Not every made distinction is discrimination.

    As a European, I would like to know in _which_ European country you're based. I think I know all of them, people from abroad might not. Saying "Made in Europe" is too general for my European liking. ;)

    That's an MP3-player, right? It looks like they go overboard to call this an offline Spotify device, instead of what it is. Or am I missing something?

    The open web is your European alternative, not the Silicon Valley-approach but then in Europe. That just invites the same abuse of data, the same enshittification and the same rent-seeking behavior.
