Re:Show HN: Coffeehouse, one-on-one voicechat with random HN users on Wednesday February 02, 2022 @03:19PM (#30183420)

It actually would be really interesting if there was a functionality to chat with other people viewing the same article. Or still one-to-one, but with someone else also looking at the article.

I am an immediate paying customer. Working with client-side JS SPAs, I struggled for a long time with getting OpenGraph to work properly. I tried rolling my own prerenderer, but that was a disaster to maintain. Spirit Fish was up and running in minutes and is an absolute blast to work with. Also, I ran into a small hiccup during my DNS set up and Hugh hopped on and immediately resolved it for me. I couldn't be happier!
Congratulations! I just started using DHN and I love it. The bookmarks feature is awesome. Thanks for all your hard work!

Just updated to support arrays, so {foo[bar]: ["x", "y"]}. Working on splitting foo[bar] represent foo.bar

It doesn't currently, but that's absolutely something I'll add.

Feel free to do with it whatever you'd like. I figured since it helps me out, it might help you out!

I know it's not much, but I made a very small, simple tool that fetches the query parameters passed to a web page and makes them available under window.location.query. I found myself reusing this a lot for different projects and thought that I'd share. :)
Super cool! Thanks for sharing this! Question though, when adding to Chrome it asks for permission to read and change data on all medium.com sites. Any reason for this?

I really like the creativity of the site, however it was extremely confusing to navigate. It took me a solid minute to realize I needed to use the arrow keys. Maybe make those arrows clickable?

I'd love to give a hand, but I'm on iPhone. Do you have any plans of releasing for iOS?
Google recently added this feature. They call those sites "AMP Ready" which apparently stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages. You can check out their homepage here: https://www.ampproject.org/

nbolt.io sounds better in my opinion.
Re:Ask HN: Where to get cheap GPU servers? on Tuesday May 03, 2016 @11:56AM (#11621760)
I wouldn't use it for super important services.... But, I hear OVH/SoYouStart have decent servers. Their support & uptime are pretty shoddy at the best tho.
