Facebook must have optimized for this. Do whatever they do.

And make it so they don't have to log back in frequently.

Good point but those are called fenders. Buoys are some else.
Re:Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @08:34AM (#44169308)
It would be interesting to build an app like this designed specifically to run on Cloudflare workers.

- Essentially free for moderate use

- Use CF Access for simple access control

- Easier self-hosting because it is designed for a specific target environment

- No servers to worry about

- Could build AI integrations easily

Surprised no one has mentioned FreeScout. It's a solid open-source helpdesk: https://freescout.net/.

They have cheap, one-time purchase plugins. Happy to pay a bit to keep the project sustainable.

I'd love to see an open-source Trello alternative that as well. There are a few out there, but nothing that seems actively maintained.

I built thatsexquiz.com - a quiz for couples to improve their intimacy. Changed the pricing model and went from $5 to $50 per day
Re:Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots on Thursday October 24, 2024 @09:52AM (#41935507)
Cloudflare is the easiest solution. Turn on Bot Fight Mode and your done
I had a college professor suggest this and I 100% agree. I think of it as loading the problem in your brain. Then sleep on it and you will make a lot more progress in the morning than if you had just spent the same total time in one sitting.

Pretty much everywhere. I guess to demonstrate the framework's attention to detail, craftsmanship, etc. No clue

Laravel does something similar. Each line of multi-line comments are exactly 3 characters shorter than the previous line.

Re:Fake Job Interviews Are Securities Fraud on Tuesday July 30, 2024 @11:49PM (#41116264)
Sell the data to hedge funds. I saw a company selling this data at an alternative data conference a few months ago. I can't remember of the name of the company but if you message me I'll find it.
You can run the decryption locally. The code is on git. The bigger concern is that the League of Entropy will disband and delete their keys permanently.
FYI - this has used 33% of Cloudflare's daily free tier limit for workers since I posted this 3 hours ago.

Every pageview and API call is an invocation. You get 100,000 calls per day for free.

Would love to know how
Yes, essentially. However, the 'pinky-promisers' are large, well-funded, geographically distributed organizations that have strong incentives, both in terms of reputation and operations, to keep their promise
That's a good point. Not sure how to do that right now
Re:Harnessing chaos in Cloudflare offices on Friday March 08, 2024 @11:12AM (#39642463)
The whole point is that it's chaotic. Knowing the the approximate current state cannot be used to predict future states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
Pointing out one problem does not imply not caring about all other problems.
It just takes time
Re:Show HN: Inbox Zero – open-source email assistant on Friday December 29, 2023 @08:57PM (#38812238)
This is the best way to use email as a to-do list- configure your inbox to show unread emails on top then starred emails below. Then everything else.

That way starred emails are front and center instead of buried in another folder

Re:Crypto Twitter Found SBF's Fraud on Sunday November 05, 2023 @09:20PM (#38158042)
Your comment isn't attacking crypto or someone who's supportive of crypto so hacker news doesn't like it.
There was a lot of noise coming from the people trying to get rich quick. We are all tired of that.

But there is real utility. You can do a lot of the positive things you mentioned with crypto. Admittedly it is still super hard and there are big problems with scalability.

But there are serious people working on those problems.

My comment is pointing out that many anti-crypto comments here are thinly veiled jealousy.

When there is a post about crypto do you comment silly things like how there is zero utility and it's all a scam?

I think not. In which case my comment isn't about you.

I agree the crypto hype was ridiculous and annoying. But reading the comments here you can tell some people get glee from seeing bad news about crypto.

The comment section on any crypto related post is so predictable.

Everyone who loves seeing bad news about crypto really just wishes they bought in early.

Re:Why Tailwind CSS Won on Wednesday August 16, 2023 @09:42AM (#37146863)
People on HN (and elsewhere) said bootstrap was terrible when it was the most talked about CSS framework. Now it's tailwind.

The top comments will always be negative.

Don't give too much weight to this when choosing what tech to use.
