I agree. Is valuable information see the _rejected_ items.

I make a year list of movies that I personally recommend [1], and that is why I start to add a full list with 1-10 points of all the movies that I watch (the "rejected" or "not recommended" are the 6/10 and below). I think this make the list more interesting and highlight my personal taste.

Re:Migrating from Google Analytics on Wednesday January 02, 2019 @10:07PM (#18812499)
I have the same concerns with Google Analytics and tried to install Matomo [1] for my personal website [2] few months ago, seems a more robust tool than Countly [3] to me, maybe I'm wrong.

But I had an error installing Matomo and got not help in the official forum [4], if someone here can help me I will appreciate it, I'm not a developer (I'm also considering get rid of analytics tools for good, anyone?). Thanks.

Re:Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2017? on Wednesday April 11, 2018 @08:35PM (#16817076)
$1000/year for hosting.

Got a cheap HostGator shared hosting and host low traffic websites for some clients (static/WordPress).

As a designer with no advanced knowledge in hosting/IT/domains/backend, it was pretty easy and no complications, I can't complain.

Now planning to move from HostGator to DreamHost because HTTPS is expensive in HG and free in DH (also using the free Netlify plan for static sites, HTTPS free).
