This is hilarious. This is one of those "in the right place at the right time" things. Vandalism like that usually only is up for a few minutes, apparently the same few minutes when DuckDuckGo was crawling that page. Amazing.

Ask HN: Name that website

I seem to remember a story on HN a while back about a website that I really wish I book marked. Can you help me find it again?The site allowed you to send random gifts to a friend of yours for as little as a dollar per day. You would sign up and say where you wanted the items shipped, then, with however much money you chose to spend per day, the site would choose a gift in that price range and...

Seems like Ghostery is causing problems on Chrome.
It is a good idea, I just don't remember it being like that before. Thank you for informing me, though.

I don't have experience with this sort of thing yet, but I'm going through something similar. I don't think it would be unreasonable for you to ask to see their earnings.

The likelihood that they will be successful, considering you will be employee number 4/5 will largely depend on you.

Ask HN: A good screen sharing app in the browser?

I always find the coolest websites on here, but today when I was trying to work with a client I couldn't find the one I remembered in my mind. I used to use screenleap.com because I seem to remember it not needing a plug-in. Now it needs Java.My question is this: Is there a screen sharing app out there without cost that works in a browser so my client doesn't need to download anything?Thank you!

I disagree with the your dichotomy. It isn't whether the end-user likes the design, it is whether the design is useful. So useful that they don't even realize "design" is taking place.

Thank you, masonhensley. I really appreciate the advice. I think I will find the last link very helpful.

Ask HN: How do you make a simple to-do list app in PHP?

Hello HN,I need your help. Too often, my to-do list grows out of control. So out of control that I haven't logged into Wunderlist in months because of fear. I have tried many to-do list apps out there, but the story always ends the same way.I have figured out exactly what I need in a to-do list app, but none exist that do what I need to my knowledge.So I want to build it. I don't want to make a...
