Thank you, this is very detailed and valuable feedback. Much appreciated!

Has anyone found the easter egg yet? ;)

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of this project. I doubt he’d be interested, but I’d love to shake his hand and ask him for an autograph. That man is a legend! I’ll check it out!

I did this in order to get hands-on experience in building a platform like this. A lot goes into it, even though it doesn’t seem so by looking at what is rendered. Full stack, from data model to front…

You’re right, and this was a tough design choice I made when I built the first prototype. Loading only first level of child comments should (correct me if I miscalculated this) be the most cost-effici…

A rewrite is in order with clarifications. The intent is to minimize risk coming from users submitting copyrighted content (entire news articles which are behind a paywall, for example, pages or entir…

Bare metal dell tower for the time being. Linux is coming when redis caching layer is added, and I’d like to move keycloak on a linux node as well.

Thank you, I’ll dig through this.

Thank you for checking it out. I will make sure firefox is supported, I don’t see why it won’t work out of the box, but I’ll investigate and roll out a fix asap!

Correct observation. That post inspired me to make my Show HN submission as well. All other similarities are coincidental :)

Thank you and welcome! Did you open the browser dev console? :) An easter egg lurks...

The comments can be infinitely nested. You can see the comment model if you scroll down to schemas: https://api.flingup.com/swagger/index.html …

I am currently working on setting up a non-profit and plan to operate the platform just like Wikimedia runs Wikipedia. I see non-profit as the only viable, sustainable alternative in the long run. I a…

#1 makes a lot of sense, but I guess we’ll never know :) It looks cute and I could watch it for hours!

By creating a non-profit foundation and running it like Wikimedia does Wikipedia. No ads, tracking etc and no shareholders. This way, it will be alive for as long as the users find it valuable enough …

I’m building one, but I don’t think it merits a Show HN. You can check it out at https://flingup.com

You're more than welcome to establish on https://flingup.com (still building it).

This is exactly my goal with building https://flingup.com

It’s a react frontend with a standard API and a database, and Keycloak on top for IAM.

I’m building an alternative and I could use a hand: https://flingup.com but I doubt people will jump ship, Stockholm syndrome?

Sorry to hear this, but I can’t say that I am surprised. I can offer you a new home on the alternative I’m currently building: https://flingup.com …

It is merely a tool, guided by the same principle Aaron Swartz implanted into reddit. Freedom of choice, freedom of expression, as long as the laws in the country hosting the servers are upheld. Commu…

I started to build an alternative: https://flingup.com It’s not much, but it’s honest work. If all this does is create a tiny fragment with a hundred people, I’ll call it success. For now,…

I judge OS projects on github by the presence of donation/sponsor information. If this is missing, the project will eventually die, regardless of how popular it may be. Sure, forks will popup, bu…

Outlaw fashion. Let us all wear the same type of suits as in Star Trek. Problem solved. I wouldn’t mind :)

I built a simple service just for cases like these. You upload a pdf, get a qr code for it and you can re-upload the same pdf again and again while the qr code remains unchanged. I don’t know if the p…

You do take it personally, a few times. Then you get used to it and stop worrying about it.

What is bitwarden doing to help lower the number of accounts, exactly? I'm out of the loop.
