100% fun satire + a loving shoutout to all the folks who maintain GH projects that start as a labor of love and a desire to share with the community. Please don't let the triage of silly demands …

For performance reasons alone, you definitely want to host as much as possible on the same domain. In my experience from inside companies, we went from self-hosting with largely ssh access to complex …

There really is good info in the article. It’s less a tip and more detail on the spec that I didn’t know.

Yes even for some companies with current revenue the multiples are extremely high. Really struggling to decide if AI is ultimately a winner take all market. Of course the very best models will require…

Soren is so good at these “doodles” of UI gone wrong. He had one for a zoom call that positions you in the frame based on your real world height.

She turned back—-for a brief, brief moment—-and it felt like all the mad activity of the world stood paralyzed, save for a soft flutter from a single wisp of her hair. “Target closes in 45 minutes and…

This is welcome. Central password management really should be an OS feature. Drives me crazy that every browser I use has a different credentials store and sync service.

I thought privacy was really well handled for a high-level overview. Basically it seems like anything thing it can't do on device uses ephemeral private compute with no stored data. Any data sent…

Can only say: Screw you, Intuit. The tax prep industry spent more than $93 million on federal lobbying to prevent direct file since the 2003 launch of the Free File Program. “Direct File is not free t…

Yeah, it's now in EVERY producthunt title. So fatiguing. I wonder when saying "AI-powered" will = saying "computer-powered" and we can just drop it. - Your in-house AI vid…

Prior founder here: I think this is a fair question and glad it was asked for discussion. They raise a good point about the pool of potential founders being limited by the necessity of a low salary. I…

It was one of the first PC titles ever to enjoy that sort of traction with non-gamers. I know a couple of people who actually bought a home PC just to play it on. Whatever your opinions of the game, i…

I loved middleman back in the day! Great to see the project is still finding use. While it definitely works without Ruby knowledge, I found it rather un-fun to maintain a Ruby environment. And I felt …
