Re:Your Website Is Not for You on Friday May 01, 2026 @10:33AM (#47975250)
Very true. I did over 300 product marketing website reviews and the most common thing I would see is a generic description of this big aspirational vision of the company and none of the specifics of what a company actually does. If you’re into see what great websites do the YouTube playlist with the top sites is at http://goatedguild.com
its crazy to me that Flo is used so widely, as its started by Russian men and their treatment of data has bee public for a while, it just hasnt spread fast enough. I know theres at least one other option called Calessa (http://Calessa.app)

Canva has more expansive editing tools but I agree, it seems like a frenemies situation.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @04:18PM (#47798946)
So what am i then? i only replied to someone claiming people are bots for having an opinion. I use opus regularly and its great.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @02:17PM (#47797365)
we arent bots because we disagree with you. I switch between codex and opus, they have their differing strengths. As many people have mentioned, opus in the past few weeks has had less than stellar results. Generally I find opus would rather stub something and do it the faster way than to do a more complete job, although its much better at front end. I've had times where I've thrown the same problem at opus 4/5 times without success and codex gets it first shot. Just my experience.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:58AM (#47795313)
I've had good experiences with codex, as have many others. Its genuine content since everyones codebases and needs are different.

On strategy do you ever worry that we trend towards the same patterns? This being relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDL3Ch7Nz8c&t=4m7s

Interested in the calorie tracking (have done amateur bodybuilding). Are you mostly cooking your own meals? Wonder if scanning items and tracking more loosely (a more forgiving myfitnesspal) would be helpful for you? Its on the roadmap of things I'm looking to build for myself (just made this last weekend for buying tovala meals: http://brovala.site)
love this, happens too often
Implementing maps into our app so giving this a shot. How does pricing compare to google maps api?
Re:The Appalling Stupidity of Spotify's AI DJ on Sunday March 15, 2026 @10:45AM (#47387889)
My gripe with the AI DJ is that it just talks way too much, emulating the worst djs.

Songza was able to do this properly years ago which customized playlist based on your mood but Spotify just doesnt get it.

Great work Chase! I remember meeting you back in the shared office with Teespring. You are right, we are not our startups, but there is a lot to be proud of, an impact is always the goal, for profit or non. Onward!
What do you mean exactly by lost so much of the original internet?

Taking Tesla from where it was (an overpriced prototype) to what it is now did take some skill. He wasn't some passive investor who put money in and didn't do anything. The rest for sure he was gotten credit that isn't earned.

Re:Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic? on Thursday January 15, 2026 @03:00PM (#46638316)
Working on a basketball app to bring people together. Basketball was invented out of grief, by James Naismith who lost his grandfather, mother, father, and family home to a fire within 4 months. He was tasked with helping to have rambunctious youth learn the principles of teamwork and sharing and slowing down and thus created the game. It truly brings people together and I hope everyone gets a chance to experience the magic that is pickup basketball. It got me out of a deep hole after the pandemic after my mom had passed and I gained 30 lbs.
Love this, it is interesting to see the links between topics, with things like father son relationship. I have a long queue of books to read that this year I finally set aside planned time on the calendar to read and walk. There are specific topics I want to read about so even if it just helped with finding some experts from books around a topic, it would help me decide. I think you're onto something here.
