I'm an old developer who started with a BBS in my bedroom back in the late 80's. If it's true that we'll move to gated communities, and I think it might be, it's still pretty …

I should do this. Did you have to code something for it or will Twilio just do this if you set some settings?

I’m working on another midlife million dollar idea. https://www.ammid.com You might have read my previous article about How To Lose Money with 25 Years of Failed Businesses.…

Care to share your prompt(s)? I draw a fair bit on a Kindle Scribe. I’d love to try this, but I bet your prompt would be helpful.

I see absolute messes created out of React and associated frameworks. Quite possibly because, “you’re holing it wrong”. Just using a framework is not going to force best practices and it’s very easy t…

I bet Woz’s latest book, which I think is iWoz, probably has some stories (though it probably covers a later time).

I used to think this was hard. The founder of mailwip helped me iron it out. Well worth the price of admission.
comment
This isn’t as hard as you might think. I pay for https://mailwip.com because the founder helped me figure out mine. It was ultimately relatively strait-forward. I stay because I appreciate…

Because I like minimalist tools, onedollarstats.com looks interesting to me. I can’t find much info about their privacy posture (which prevents me from using Google Analytics). I use my own counter, b…

This post was interesting to some a few years ago. Lately I’ve become hyper active with trying again, so I thought I’d post this and start to share my new journey (very much a work in progress).

I'm following the book The Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan and I'm launching stuff (again). This is my second launch. A tool to scratch my own itch and where, to be honest, I didn'…

I do not like to take pictures with my camera for exactly this reason. I want to be there in the moment instead of thinking about the shot. I'm also opposed to nearly everything that FB does, but…

If you like this you might like The Storyteller by Dave Grohl, it’s a great read from the vantage point of Nirvana’s drummer and his adventures and music influences both before and after. The Kindle v…

I write about technology, including minimalist software, and I pursue simplicity. https://joeldare.com

Here's just one example where I think, "maybe". I've been shopping for an Airbrush. These were a dream of mine as a kid. Back then the major brands were Made in the USA and were ex…

I’ve been looking for something to get better at my personal contacts. I’m not really on LinkedIn. Maybe I’ll get on just to try this, but reach out if I could try it some other way.

I've been trying things for 25+ years and I'm about to kick off a test of a whole bunch of new business ideas. You might have read my article, How to Lose Money with 25 Years of Failed Busin…

Don't forget my favorite size, "statement". This is half of letter size. Sometimes used for small statements, sometimes used as letter folded. Hacker News users may be familiar with Jul…
comment
I probably say something similar to this. I plan to create for the rest of my life. I'm also trying to build a business out of this because I hope that someday it will give me even more freedom a…
comment
I've seen similar tools before. This seems like it fades out a bit too quickly.

I’m reading Million Dollar Weekend, trying new things and collecting rejections. Here’s my first pitch since starting the book. Is this a problem your tech team has?

Is there a Shopify store? Their website is catered to the business they do, which is to setup shop for businesses. How do you shop on Shopify?

This comment inspired me to create a workshop to turn your code into a product to sell. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43692540 …
