Rate-limited Playground Only key? Lock to requests for said key to be only permitted from the exact referrer? Give me one free and then auth?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just want to try before I buy, sir.

The first rule of Show HN is, "don't give me a playground where it looks like I can push the button and then force me to auth when I actually do click the button, expecting magic on the other side."

The second rule of Show HN is, "YOU DO NOT FORCE USERS TO AUTHENTICATE AFTER THEY'VE CLICKED THE BUTTON."

In terms of the incubator, looks like it was replaced with Mozilla Ventures:

With respect to Kanary, I have my entire family the platform and it's drastically reduced the amount of garbage (figurative) that comes through our door. Needed help with something non-standard the CEO personally took care of things while learning more about our specific use case.

Puzzling they chose to partner with Onerep when Kanary was part of Mozilla's incubator and is just a fundamentally stellar service.

BigCo shenanigans will never look the same!

Our twist on the family email is to have [email protected] point to a Google Group that for the moment, only goes to the adults in the room. Makes sorting/labeling things significantly easier.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.

Self plug but high relevancy - measuring keystrokes-per-second to convert the characters saved into actual $TIME.

Calculation for "the" from the screenshot in the repo:

9933 characters saved / 8 kps = ~20 minutes

Cheapest being humans.
+1 for Kanary.

The amount of time/effort/rage that goes into dealing with a stolen identity makes paying for this a no-brainer.

+1 on weight lifting.

Issues began when I stopped lifting. Since then, they flare/fade according to the 90 day trend line of gym attendance.

The loose theme is intended to be how making incremental improvements in the thousands of tiny things we do each day compound to make a difference over the course of our lives.

In practice, it serves more as a publishing ground for a bunch of random things that need to be put on paper/into code.
