It's a shame fuchsia is so hard to spell. 25% of the references to "fuchsia" so far in this thread spell it incorrectly.

Vote for politicians that want to address monopolies in big tech, so someday we have real alternatives to Apple and Google that I can consider switching to.

Are you confused about the stock market? I know I am. I'm a data nerd who is putting together free analytics for people who want to track and understand what's going on in financial markets.

I'd love to have some beta testers if any HN readers are interested in this.

Good point

Ask HN: How can we see "content" again on webpages?

Posted by krausejj on Sunday September 22, 2019 @10:34AM
from the ask-hn dept.

The internet looks so bad right now: most sites I visit have massive warnings asking me if I accept their cookie policies, and many at the same time have an on-page chat widget which creepily knows my email domain and makes noises. Then, I start scrolling and popups appear asking if I'll allow notifications.It's awful. I can't see the content anymore.Is there a way to fix this? Ideally, my...

do you feel like the 20% of your submissions that go to the top are your best submissions?

for me, my submissions that get attention are not my best submissions, IMO.

i can spend a long time on a really thoughtful idea or product, and get zero clicks from a hacker news submission, whereas sharing a poorly researched press article with a clickbaity headline goes to the front page.

it's really disappointing.

it's subjective, but i think most would agree that "best" doesn't mean "requires a voting ring to get actual consideration" or "requires a super-clickbaity title" (like the title of this post)

Ask HN: Is Hacker News broken?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'll keep it short... I'm a critic, who is also promoting an alternative (https://mendoapp.com), but when I post something I've written or built on hacker news, and I have access to analytics, I see that referral traffic from hacker news is typically zero, or less than whatever vote count I receive (which is typically not a lot of votes).so, based on this, I don't believe anyone is really...

Re:We should replace Facebook with personal websites on Friday December 21, 2018 @11:35AM (#18734390)
we're working on this problem with mendoapp.com

but instead of following "feeds" you follow people, and it queues up links they've shared on twitter

Re:Sharing something better – we need new experiments around social media on Wednesday December 19, 2018 @10:50AM (#18716418)
Imagine if Hacker News was whitelisted to a set of people you trust & respect (so only their votes count), and it queued up the top links so you don't miss anything, even if you take a day or two off. That's what we're trying to build.

Mendo is a platform to see links shared by a selection of people you follow (and trust), sorted by most-shared.

It's like a "private Reddit" or "private HN" where you have your own feed, and you get to choose who can vote on it.

It's great because it puts the best stuff first and doesn't addict you.

We made a few "example groups" to show what Mendo surfaces when you follow a group of people who specialize in topic areas:

Economists - https://mendoapp.com/group/econ Scientists/Environmentalists - https://mendoapp.com/group/enviros Tech Commentators - https://mendoapp.com/group/tech Politicos - https://mendoapp.com/group/politicos

You don't have to check social media all the time – the most important things being shared come to you, via email and our iOS app.
