Anyone who spent any amount of time populating their APIs, apps and websites with temporary fake data for testing purposes, has encountered Faker.js, as of 2 days ago the code is gone from GitHub with the last commit stating 'endgame' and the README: 'What really happened with Aaron Swartz?' If you don't know who is, he was one of the co-founders of Reddit, creator of Markdown and web.py just to name a few, unfortunately he is no longer with us, you can read his life story on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz What does the community make of this ?

What does the community make of this ?

Hello Community !

It's been a while since I posted something, I'll keep it short, I built an app to make professional connections with a short-form video profile that showcases our hobbies like movies we watch and podcasts we listen to.

After all, aren't all the best connections we make because of things we have in common outside of work ?

I am looking for early users, anyone who wants to be an early adopter and give feedback is welcome !

Great piece and very good points, what did you ship in those months ?
Re:Ask HN: What internet/tech podcasts do you listen to? on Wednesday January 06, 2021 @06:52PM (#25664550)
I like the following, perhaps you already know them but if you don't, I recommend them: (1) Lex Fridman: https://lexfridman.com/podcast/ (My favorite) (2) Fullstack-radio: https://fullstackradio.com/ (3) Company forensics: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/company-forensics-slid... (4) The Undefined Podcast: https://undefined.fm/ (5) Signal vs Noise: https://m.signalvnoise.com/

It's not tech related by I listen to JRE as well quite often.

It's normal for a project of that size, never had any major issues with it, it's in active development so it's good to see issues are being reported
Hello peeps !

I have released an early stage version of an idea I am working on, the Android app I shared is a PoC showcasing some basic functionality, I am not going to dive too deep into the app and the project right now, because I am interested in hearing unbiased feedback, let me know what you guys & girls think.

Hello community ! This is an initial MVP of a professional contact exchange app I am working on, it is early stage but usable and I would love to hear your thoughts and criticism.
