Just signed up and love it so far. I'm not using any Apple services or devices, so this is a welcome alternative. Love the design of it. How long did it take you to build this?

Why recreate it, if it still exists?
Re:Show HN: Otechie – Search Freelancers on GitHub by NPM Package on Sunday September 09, 2018 @10:52AM (#17946137)
How are you retrieving this data? I wonder if it would be against the TOS of GitHub to clone public repositories in bulk and analyze them. I also believe that GDPR makes a service like this impossible in the EU without consent of the people on GitHub.
Re:A Road to Common Lisp on Monday August 27, 2018 @06:35PM (#17855117)
Just recently searched for an IMAP library but only found one for Allegro Common Lisp. The lack of libraries is one of my biggest concerns when it comes to using Lisp in production.
Re:Show HN: Chrome Crypto Ticker on Wednesday July 25, 2018 @06:00AM (#17608095)
Well done. Ive tried out a lot of these crypto tickers in the past and this seems to be one of the better ones. Where are you getting the data from? You seem to support a huge amount of coins I've never heard of.

Ask HN: Are services like Clearbit legal (in Germany)?

Posted by hirow on Sunday July 31, 2016 @05:17PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I live in Germany where we have very strict rules in regards to saving personal data etc.I read a lot about services like BuiltWith, Clearbit, Rapportive and similiar.Clearbit obviously harvests data from multiple sources. Who gave them permission to? What if someone doesn't want to be in that list?To Germans (with some law background maybe): Theoretically...could it have been founded in Germany?

Re:Show HN: Pandascore the e-sport API on Thursday March 24, 2016 @04:24AM (#11351316)
This is great! BUT: I think on of the biggest concerns with this right now, is reliability. Many sources that you get your data from are just heavily unreliable (I'm looking at you Valve). Our startup would heavily rely on an API like this, but I guess we'll have to wait until Valves and other API get more mature and offer solutions for websites under heavy load. I see the problem you approached here and it's definitely a big one in the community. I wish you guys best of luck!
