Same here, when the fans started up I got startled. However my bread toaster often scares me too

Show HN: I measured the half-life of 41,301 Show HN launches. It's 7 hours

Posted by jonnonz on Thursday July 02, 2026 @07:38AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://jonno.nz/posts/your-show-hn-dies-in-7-hours/

I scraped every Show HN from the last 12 months (41,301 posts) plus the full comment tree of every launch with 10+ comments, ~100k comment timestamps, all from the Algolia HN API.The median launch gets 2 points and 0 comments. For launches that do get traction, half the comments they'll ever get arrive within 7.2 hours and 90% within 26, and the top decile decays on the same clock as everyone...

Well I suppose they are finding out if you lay off too many people the IP of how the system works goes out the door with them.
Re:What if the browser built the UI for you? on Sunday April 05, 2026 @01:36AM (#47646416)
I believe branding is still possible, though more of a capability and platform approach like Stripe or Shopify. Local LLMs will likely make it more feasible in the future as costs decrease.

This is actually really innovative! I like it a lot

Why not both? Look at stripe or shopify for example
Re:LocalChannels on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @10:45PM (#39847218)
LocalChannels ->

I wanted to explore a few technical areas, particularly packaging with Homebrew and using Rust as a CLI tool. Additionally, I am eager to give back to a community that has brought me joy over the past 10 years.

So, to be frank (though that's not my name), I grew tired of paying for ngrok for a basic use case: routing public -> local tunneling during development, with a persistent configuration I could start and stop as required.

LocalChannels is about the millionth public to local tunnel tool posted here. It's not groundbreaking; it uses SSE to route the requests to your local machine.

The platform is limited to 1000 "tenants" to maintain performance, and up to three persistent channels per tenant - so once it's full, it's full. I hope someone finds it useful :)
