Ask HN: Similar Opportunities to Show HN?

Hi there!Does anybody know any other websites that have sections similar to Show HN? I try to get some feedback on my early-stage platform (https://linkwall.me). Where do you suggest that I should share it? Any recommandation of communities (interested in this kind of product) is highly appreciated.Cheers! :)

Thanks a lot! I will let you know if I need some help with the platform.
Thanks for your answer. Do you use any external libraries? Are there any options?
Nice work! What do you think about LinkWall? Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for your question. As this is not a full service right now, there are still a few features to add to match the entire set of LinkTree's options. That main advantage in using LinkWall compared to alternatives is the automatic fetching of your content. Your followers need to visit only one page to see your latests posts, and then browse on those social platforms.
All the content is stored in a database separate from the social platform. It is fetched and updated periodically. You can choose what content to hide (by default, all non-public/suspended content is not displayed).
You can add social links right now with your custom icon, text and link (in the custom social icons section). Regarding automatic streaming, I plan to add Facebook and Instagram first, then continue with other social platforms. Someone suggested Medium so I will have a look at their API.
Thank you for your feedback!

This product should and will be free forever. However, for professionals wanting to customize their page more, removing the LinkWall branding and streaming from multiple accounts, there will be a small monthly fee. In the meanwhile, all available features will be accessible at no cost.

Your question about copying is really interesting, and not limited to thi particular product. Do you think that it should be forbidden in some way or that it is a normal evolution for giants as Instagram, Youtube, TikTok?

For now, you can show only your tweets automatically. I plan to add custom posts as widgets soon.
Thank you! I will try to include features that most of those alternatives don't have, and iterate as fast as possible until all users have all the widgets they need.
Also, if you feel stuck, please let me help you customize your webpage (live chat, comment on HN, email at [email protected]). I want to learn from your interaction with the website and build what you need.

Thank your for your time!

This game is addictive! Good job!
Hello everyone!

The idea of LinkWall (https://linkwall.me) came when one of my friends asked me to build a social media aggregator for his webpage. I often have to check multiple social accounts of the same person to keep updated on its latest posts. Therefore, I decided to build a platform where people create their webpage, add links to their favourite content, and stream their social activity automatically.

You can embed tweets for now, but Facebook and Instagram posts will be available soon. In the meanwhile, you can link to any content from your LinkWall, including all your social accounts, blog links, songs, etc. Just create a new button that leads to what your followers need to see. Analytics will give you insights into how people discover your content.

I plan to add more widgets in the following weeks. Youtube, HN and GitHub integrations are on my list, but I would love to hear what else you want to display. Your feedback and suggestions will shape this project to cover all you need to build an amazing personal webpage from scratch in just a few minutes. There should be only one link to someone's content, not 10!

Please look at the example page (https://linkwall.me/example) to see what you can build, and give it a try. Whether you like or dislike it, contact me in the live chat (or comment here) and let me know how to improve LinkWall for you. I can't wait to see what you think!

If you feel like sharing your webpage with others, I am happy to change the example page with yours for some time. :)

I read the Atomic Habits book and I can say it helped me organise my work better. Keeping a habit tracker provides a fair indicator of your daily schedule.

It is quite old, but I found it very helpful for writing my university project. Does anybody know any similar materials?

Thank you for trying it! ScreenToVideo is a screen recorder and also a video editor. You can use it either to record directly to .mp4 without any export time or to edit the video with transitions, annotations and more. Similar products do only one of this options and have higher costs. Please try it and let us know what you think.

Thank you for your feedback! That is the price for a lifetime license with free upgrades and priority support. You can also try it 15 days for free before deciding if it suits your needs. We are also running a 50% off promotion. If you feel that $39 is still too much, don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
