This is amazing! Really enjoyed the trip down memory lane.

It would be wonderful if you could also share or write a post about your vibe coding journey to put this together!

Hi Koji, this looks like a fantastic tool! I think it will pair nicely with Locofy (https://locofy.ai) for handoff from design to AI-generated code to really simplify the frontend process! I’ll be sharing this with my design team!

Where are you based that it allows you to generate this profit? These days, it’s pretty hard to get hands on crypto mining hardware as well!

Re:Launch HN: Fella (YC W20) – Tackling men's obesity using medication... on Monday August 23, 2021 @02:14AM (#28272777)
My wife is a doctor specialized in obesity management and works in a hospital daily where patients come in with BMIs well over 40. Besides semaglutide, which isn’t availble in this part of the world yet, they also prescribe liraglutide.

I’d say that if someone is extremely obese, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to bring their weight down just through medication and counseling because most people lack the motivation or self-awareness to turn it into a lifestyle, which is KEY to keeping the weight off. In most cases, bariatric surgery would be their only option. It’s also very easy for folks to fall off the bandwagon while going on a weight loss journey - I’ve always had periods of being overweight to the point of obese since I was young and it’s been a yo-yo of getting fit and then slowly slumping back into being unhealthy over the years until I had the mental shift that it’s a lifestyle change. Getting people to this state through telemedicine may be difficult. It’s a hard space to be in but definitely one that will have an unending supply of patients due to the way the world eats these days. Let me know if I can help in any way. Best of luck!

We use Roboform for our ~30 person company with remote workers. It is simple to use, and comes at a great price point, although their app and browser extension can use some improvements.

'Challenges' That Worked To Grow A Blog Community

Posted by djshah on Saturday July 01, 2017 @02:26AM
from the self-post dept.

I came across this article - https://sumo.com/stories/create-free-challenge - and was wondering what, if any, experience the Hacker News community has had in building an engaged community for their own blogs? What niche is your blog in, and what sparked the community growth and engagement for you?

That's crazy successful. I'm working on my own auto responder course. How did you build up traffic to the sales page?
