Given the debt and deficits the government is running I worry they're not going to haveh te financial muscle for a rescue package when this implodes.
Re:Your 'App' Could Have Been a Webpage (so I fixed it for you)

I did something similar (though I used a slightly different method to intercept traffic) to make the US version of the Costco app better: www.97cost.co
I'm only surfacing two api requests that Costco's app is using, but even with a server as a middle man between the browser and Costo's backend this is way faster than the app.

What backend are all these slop apps using for the paid tiers?

I am a little confused because I got a 401 when I tried to pull an image from there. Do I need a login or something? For a free image it sure doesn't feel that way.

I think there are crawlers that do that. Somehow I accidentally had a commit with an openai key in it, and when I published an open source repo with that commit within ~20 seconds I got an email from openai someone had retired my exposed key.

Every job I've had with Gusto has managed to screw up payroll at some point. The support from Gusto is very poor, even a supervisor that's offshore when you call em won't be able to understand your basic questions.

Honestly that's a great case for vibe coding, getting a splash page for a project that's not a website.

What were you doing to get traffic from the open Internet to your webserver at home? I always felt that was a risky proposition, but I might just be stupid.

I heard on npr, can't remember which radio show, that customers these days do a really poor job of punishing poor companies. They cited the statistic that the most pissed off customer is only 2% less likely to use a service/product than the most loyal customer.

Dude you do not understand how bad those "APIs" are for booking flights. Customers of Travelport often have screen reading software that reads/writes to a green screen. There's also tele-type, but like most of the GDS providers use old IBM TPF mainframes.
I spent the first two years of my career in the space, we joked anything invented post Michael Jackson's song Thriller wasn't present.

There have been previous articles posted with people's direct experience with the hiring process at Canonical. I don't think this is a good candidate for a case study.

Did you get a cease and desist letter?

good idea, that's appreciated!

What are the consequences of this? I think they can seize the domain for free if I'm misrepresenting the site as part of github, but lets assume I use no branding, etc what's the worst that can happen?

That's not the worst idea, how does that tie back to the domain though?

How did you figure out that was available? Searching just for, "github" on domain searches didn't pop that up but you were correct. I scooped that up because I could :)

I found fly.io to be very generous and pretty easy to get started with. There's also free tiers from AWS, GCS, or maybe even Vercel depending on your needs. So get free hosting, build things out, they pay for a domain which seems to be the only thing you can't cheat or steal :)

Hey just to follow up youtube videos like the above will now work. I tested with that video and few others. Let me know if you have any other issues and thanks for the great feedback on the project!

Show HN: YouTubeTldw: ad‑free, login‑free YouTube summaries in a flash
I made an open source, no BS youtube summary website that makes use of the tldw [1] python library to create really quick youtube summaries.The longer a talk is, the more ad revenue a creator gets. But we don't all have 40 minutes to listen to someone slowly edge around a point.This website has no ads, no login, and is 100% free.You can find the source code here [2].[1]...

I realize this is out of scope for your site, but where do you recommend going to purchase domains that are expiring? It seems a bit different process from buying a brand new domain.
Also you have a spelling error in the bottom left of the search screen. For today I see, "Total 395 doamins"
