i'm also curious what you're switching to
Re:Show HN: CSS Studio. Design by hand, code by agent on Thursday April 09, 2026 @01:56PM (#47707044)
A bunch of comments are complaining about how it's crazy that this is $99 or that they'll vibe code a free version this weekened. I've tried to make a similar tool for myself that let's me change CSS values live without talking to the agent and it made me appreciate the hundreds of invisible details that figma, framer, paper, etc. get right when building a visual canvas editor. I spent 6 hours going back and forth with claude just to get the editor to feel somewhat usable for editing existing front end work.
My friend and I made something for this recently which works as a google chrome extension: https://nextcall.xyz/

Would you be willing to accept applications for frontend interns with previous work experience on a React team?

I like the way you designed your website!

This website is missing a subscription gate. How am I able to view the site if I'm not a member!?
Re:Algorithmic merchandising will erode trust in Amazon on Thursday October 11, 2018 @05:05PM (#18197030)
Amazon needs to improve the way it ranks products. I think it is unfortunate that, once a company gets a good grasp on market share, they blatantly disregard the user experience.

Examples: Pinterest/ Quora subscription gate

excited to see how we are able to connect with other founders. This is something I have wanted for a long time.

Am I the only one who finds this ironic coming from the top tech incubator in the world?
Re:Startup School Advisor Track: You Are In on Monday August 20, 2018 @06:57PM (#17804869)
I'm in the same boat. I wonder what some of the people who apply for the hell of it could do if they were joined together to make a company. There are a ton of really talented people on here.

Wow, I can't believe you got rejected. Email and ask for feedback on your application as mentioned above.
> That is, it's all wide open if you know where to look

I believe you are right. My whole point is that I am surprised that process is not easier.

I don't think that is necessarily true. You might be able to tell using information from a data broker like Acxiom or search engine data that people are not satisfied with the current options for buying LED strips, for example.
I think your comments have serious merit. That being said many people are focused on building a faster horse that nobody even wants. Isn't it strange that this is still a thing?

What I am saying is that the "deeper insights about what people really want/need (based on their words and/or observed actions)" aren't really that deep when you consider the amount of information available. Its surprising to me that people like you and me rely on people's claims to develop a hypothesis and test ideas. Shouldn't it be easy to get insights on a large portion of the population?

Ask HN: Why is there still guessing involved in “Make something people want”?

On the bottom of Y Combinator's website, it says "Make something people want." There are troves of data about the American consumer and information about people's desires is so public and easy to obtain. Why is there no easy way to figure out what people want so you can just focus on building said thing?

These look like some pretty cool interactions.

This is the part I'm having a hard time with.

This site looks awesome! What did you use to build it?

Especially like the design and color palette.

Re:Ask HN: Is this is a good way to learn JavaScript? on Tuesday April 03, 2018 @03:17PM (#16748129)
That tutorial is much more expensive than many others, is it that much better?

My friend bought a react tutorial which is good, not great. The teacher of the tutorial tends to just say what he is doing which is all to familiar for anyone who has tried to learn something from one of these "tutorials."

I have been reading YDKJS lately and I have found it really useful thus far.

Yes I definitely need to learn more ES6 and ES7 stuff.

Will be on the lookout for those learning plans!

Re:Ask HN: Is this is a good way to learn JavaScript? on Tuesday April 03, 2018 @03:12PM (#16748078)
I did the basic JS syntax on fcc. Then took the dive into react, but had a hard time getting it.

I liked your posts and subscribed:)

Ask HN: Is this is a good way to learn JavaScript?

I know – these questions are asked a ton on here, but there is rarely a definitive answer. I understand that everyone learns differently, but I was wondering if you could critique my learning plan for this summer. I want to read through the materials for my uni's back end web development course [1], and take a front end class like this [2]. Let me know if these should suffice. I did the...
