While this approach makes sense in theory, in practice it doesn't work because most tech interviewers don't know what's actually essential to the job. Ie they'll probably end up as…

I see your point. My perspective is that HN is already a social media platform with a lot of noise already (AI, latest JS fad, non-tech news). But I've spoken to a lot of people who have produced…

Heresy, I know :) But I genuinely think it can be beneficial for everyone.
comment
I know I'm not revealing anything to you all here, but I figured it might be somewhat entertaining to see me try to explain this to people who aren't familiar with Hacker News :)

Appreciate the feedback! I'll look into the suggestions tomorrow.
comment
Yes! That's what prompted me to build it. And it's already paying off for me as I got a notification about your comment which I would've missed otherwise: https://imgur.com&…

I tend to separate my frontend (Cloudflare Pages) from my backend (VPS/CapRover).
comment
You'll end up wanting to self-host everything in no time :) I've switched from Namecheap to Cloudflare because it's cheaper, and it's very easy to integrate with Google Search Cons…
comment
Thanks for the feedback! Funnily enough, initially I allowed usernames to be case sensitive because of what was said on this API https://github.com/HackerNews/API?tab=readme-ov-fi…

Built a small web app that sends email notifications whenever someone replies to one of your comments or posts on Hacker News. And if you don't want to share your email, I also created a tool on …
comment
Nope, seems pretty quick. Well done!
comment
That's what Blazor WASM promises too. Last time I checked people were saying that initial load times were quite slow though. I personally would recommend focusing on ORM, Auth, and an Admin panel…
comment
I just deploy straight from my machine with a single command "caprover deploy". No container registry involved.
comment
I don't :) I've just delayed thinking about it until I have a service that actually does have that spike, which hasn't happened yet. It looks like the CapRover devs have a solution htt…
comment
No, I wouldn't consider. It's so much easier to Dockerize every application. And I'm running about 10 services on the single instance, so it's a lot cheaper too.

just shows a blank page
comment
Respect any attempts to make a nice web framework in Go. But I prefer the Gin routing API and the ORM seems disjointed from migrations. I'm not sure what's the purpose of WASM; I know Blazor…
comment
Appreciate the feedback! I'll update both asap. Funnily enough, I assumed the usernames are case-sensitive based on this https://github.com/HackerNews/API?tab=readme-ov-file#…
comment
Some questions that immediately come up:
1) What's the business model?
2) What happens when I'm not willing to pay the subscription fee that I'm assuming this service will eventually ch…
comment
Looks like this shouldn't belong in Show HN as it's a (interesting!) blog post?
comment
I appreciate the effort, but I do question for whom this is actually useful. The way I see it, you can either be a software engineer, or a machine learning (data?) engineer. Anyone who does both is ac…

A service that sends email alerts every time you receive a comment/reply on Hacker News: https://hackernewsalerts.com/ . Just finished it and wanted to test it on myself first fo…
comment
I use only Astro for websites / blog sites, and host with Cloudflare Pages. For web apps, I still use Astro/Cloudflare for the frontend. For the backend, I use Django Ninja, hosted as one of…

There's no explanation as to why someone should sign up. Maybe mention that most of the jobs get filled within 3 days or something like that.

Looks like it's been hugged to death.
