Re:Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services? on Monday June 27, 2022 @08:23AM (#31893534)
Not here to spam, but we're building a really interesting product called mutter where in it's next iteration, every user can store, curate and post links into streams, which we think of as a combination of User x Topic. For example, if a user wants to curate content on React, then the user can create a stream specific to it. This stream isn't a global topic like a subreddit but something specific to a user.

The user can then curate content via both in-app "post" feature, as well as a chrome extension. Interestingly, the discovery feed will also be built in a way that it allows you re-discover content, because we end up saving a lot of content, but rarely end up revisiting them.

:) The current prototype of mutter (URL: https://mutter.ai) was built as a research exercise. We're working on totally new prototype but with a different set of designs.

Re:Ask HN: What are alternatives to OO programming? on Thursday April 11, 2019 @05:22PM (#19639359)
To be honest, there isn't any mainstream alternative to OOP, when it comes to building software professionally because of the very wide use of OOP , because of multiple reasons like security (provided by private & protected classes) or data hiding or Abstractions or Encapsulation.

If you are having difficulty with OOP & objects, then go through the reference, but do it, there's no better mainstream alternative.
