Re:Mozilla to shut down Pocket on July 8 on Friday May 23, 2025 @11:15AM (#44073624)
I've been using wallabag for a while, switched to Pocket for this exact reason. Maybe switching back is the answer to this? Looked around a bit, someone seems to have thought about this already.
I don't understand, does this replace the need for the iOS/Mac application?

How would companies submit bids though? Should they have their own natural language/keyword analyzer to identify which product the customer is actually looking for and submit their price for it?
We've been doing this for a while for a website that receives not too much traffic:

- we use a single server and the domain name determines which white label we are on.

- we use LESS and everything is variable. We load a single compiled CSS based on the domain.

- we never hard code anything, unless we know it's a single page for a single domain (everything is internationalized).

- the database contains everything and we filter out stuff a particular white label doesn't want.

This is because the website displays content (it's not a service like shopify) and most white labels want most of our editorial content, so syncing DBs is not an option (is it?). We have 40+ white labels and unless the customization is heavy we can create a new one in a matter of minutes.

I guess this wouldn't replace proper server side validation anyway, but it would be a nice addition.

did they remove rss though?

Is there a way to download them all?

Trash has restore: the menu item is "Put Back". I'm on Snow Leopard.
A job (especially if well paid) is what I'm looking for right now, to actually pay the bills.

My plan would be: accept what they have if good enough, keep my startup, ask for equity in a while.

Not properly direct competition. They want to build something else (a social game) but in the same field.

Ask HN: My partner and I were offered to close our startup...

... to go work on a similar service for another startup.A little bit of background.Us: two tech co-founders.Our startup: a non-funded fashion directory service. It started as an exercise to learn new programming languages. This project isn't a money maker yet, but it helps with paying the bills. Given some money (mostly for marketing) we believe it could become big.Them: two apparently...

I'm like you: I've been an active reader for the past couple years, but I rarely comment.

Sometimes I have stuff to say, but I'm afraid I'll spend the rest of the day coming back to HN and hope for acknowledgment and responses. This could be selfish, I know, especially when I really know something about a topic, but I can't help it.

Re:Italy has its own Hacker News on Saturday January 22, 2011 @07:19AM (#2130340)
As always, Italians are not able to do something properly. And this is an Italian writing.

The level of Facebook addiction in this country is really scary. I see fellow engineers constantly on Facebook during free time, instead of actually building something.

Sad, really.

Re:Ask HN: Who launched something in December? on Sunday January 02, 2011 @05:41AM (#2059845)
I launched http://www.dinnerdiner.com/ It's my very first Rails project: a service that helps you find restaurants close to you (using HTML5 Geolocation API and the very good geokit-rails gem).

Suggestions and reviews appreciated :)

Re:Ask HN: How do you deploy your PHP apps to production? on Thursday October 14, 2010 @12:37PM (#1791526)
I use git with a remote repository to which you can push (and pull) stuff easily.

Ask HN: which web-based client/invoice management app do you use?

Being a freelancing web developer I'm exploring solutions to manage my clients and projects. Invoice management and a mobile interface (I have an Android phone) would be a nice plus.Argentum (http://www.argentuminvoice.com/) doesn't seem to have a mobile interface nor does Ofuz (http://www.ofuz.com/). But they both seem to fit my needs.Thank you

Well, for cheap I mean $1200/month maximum, for a private room in a shared apartment.

I'd have to work in greenwich village, so distance is to be considered; airbnb seems pretty nice with some good offers, thanks!

I already checked studenthousing and SVA and they both offer housing for much longer periods (semester/year) and much much money. NYU asks for a SSN and since I'm from Europe I can't apply.

I contacted HHH, let's see what they say... Honestly, I thought that for a student/intern this would have been very easy!

Where do I find cheap places to live for a month in New York?

Hi, this summer I'll be in New York for an internship and I'm having trouble finding a place to stay.Craigslist (and padmapper) do provide such informations, but they are quite hard to browse and I'm already spending hours to search for a suitable accomodation.So I was wondering if there's a better tool to search with; some sort of student house would be fine but I couldn't find anything. Also,...
