Re:Show HN: Mobile browser with different browsing mechanism
on Friday January 31, 2020 @07:11PM (#22207363)
Would love to get feedback/suggestions for this mobile browser that we built with a different browsing mechanism - jumping down/up pages as an alternative to scrolling! Initially built as a project to help folks who can get dizzy (or eye fatigue) with scrolling, Jump Browser's feature of jumping down/up pages feels more visually comfortable for many users. As an equally strong benefit, this method is much faster for browsing/reading through an article than traditional scrolling. So it's a faster and more comfortable browser experience overall. We also incorporated a built-in ad blocker. Would love you get your ideas regarding improving the browser and overall promotion of it! Thank you.

Ask HN: Using social media buttons - good, bad, necessary evil?
I run several content education sites, and i've placed facebook like buttons, tweet, and +1 buttons on them for the past few months. While they gather a decent number of likes (a few hundred), the actual facebook referral traffic i get is fairly low (several hundred visits per month). sometimes i think it's just clutter and a waste of space. then i read articles about them (as being necessary...

wow that's incredible. what does the company chip-in/cover per month for each person? or is that included in the $200 cost per person per month that you mentioned? how much would it cost to cover a spouse/child? i've seen some plans from empire blue cross (i don't think anthem covers NYC), and it's nowhere near that low.
Re:Ask HN: small startups, what do you use for health insurance?

thanks! i have talked to a broker, and he pointed out several different options - all somewhat pricey unfortunately. as i expected, he viewed HSA's as a generally inferior option, thought that was a bit unclear why (i recall perhaps something to do about ease of reimbursement/coverage). not sure if that's actually true.
> If you can do it, get a high deductible insurance plan with an HSA for the years in which you are not having a baby.
this seems like a good strategy. why not just use an HSA exclusively? is it due to risk of complications/cost during pregnancy? or do pregnancy costs likely come close or exceed premiums of a traditional plan anyhow?
> Fyi, COBRA will most likely be more expensive than any plan you can get at the family level.
why is that? my wife is looking to quit soon, and is coming from a fairly large organization. and it seems like the cobra, group-negotiated rates are slightly better than the family rates i'm trying to negotiate on my own. just my own experience.

great info thanks - you're right, there really needs to be an FAQ on this.

Thanks for the info - that's helpful.
> That said... if you're starting a family... pregnancy (and RX) are usually (ever?) covered. So you might not have a choice.
HSA's do seem to make sense, but the pregnancy and any potential complications were my main concern. It seemed from initial research that for this scenario, and regular plan seemed like the best option, unless you had a different experience? Perhaps use a typical plan initially, then switch to HSA's later assuming health is ok?
Ask HN: small startups, what do you use for health insurance?
Do you use an HSA, or pay pricey premiums? I live in NYC, and (for me and my wife, who may try to start a family next year) am looking at plans of about $1.5-2K a month (assuming a child/children). As a couple only, it's about $1,300 a month. =/ What would you guys recommend in a situation like mine?

There a few automated tools that can help you analyze your site for potential SEO mistakes - this is one I've made which can hopefully help:
Ask HN: Most efficient practice schedule for learning?
I surprisingly couldn't find much information about this online. Say you're trying to learn a new skill, whether it's guitar, a new language, coding, or even a sport like golf. Are there general guidelines to follow for the most efficient practice schedule? Is it "x" hours a day of deliberate practice? Is it daily with breaks every few days, or basically just get as much practice in as...

Heheh, yes, definitely. That's why I've tried to indicate that it's only moderately important at best. Perhaps its best to remove that analysis entirely, but I think beginner's would be looking for that kind of analysis (just to see what keywords are being used - if anything, to check/avoid keyword stuffing there).
Re:Ask HN: Review My App: SEOSiteCheckup.com
on Wednesday September 23, 2009 @09:53AM (#839233)
My tool looks for a number of other factors which those sites don't, and specifically ignores other factors which they do (it's a matter of personal expertise/opinion as to which factors are really impactful/helpful for beginner/intermediate SEO analysis). It's also supposed to more clearly convey why certain factors are important to analyze, and just how important they are among the entire list. If that's not immediately coming across, that's good to know. Any other suggestions for better making that point/differentiation would be great.

I developed a search engine optimization (SEO) tool targeted for non-programmers/small businesses, to help them easily analyze and improve their site for search engines. I haven't found many tools that do this (they generally seem a bit confusing), so I built an app that tries to do this in a more user-friendly fashion:
I'd love to hear your feedback as to whether this is going in the right direction, missing some key features, or if the balance between SEO-speak/web terminology/simplicity should be tweaked. I've included explanations and links in the analysis where I thought it would be helpful, but I'm unsure of the right balance. Thanks for your thoughts!
