Re:Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare If You Don't Need To on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @09:35AM (#45966674)

I find "X does Y, why don't you?" As a means to keep vendors from becoming complacent. As customers, we don't know what the tools limits are. Sometimes, vendors will not invest in improving their tools/results without a credible threat.

Ask HN: Mobile app legal/redtape too far gone for hobbyists?

I was looking to build a free app that would take, process and store photos - nothing earthshaking but solves an annoying problem. It's really more of a way for me to explore a new framework. I haven't really kept up with all the ways one can break privacy laws and I understand the need for them to protect consumers. Question is: In 2022, is it possible to just put out an app or a website...
