Yes, same question here from my end, if anyone can answer. I had purchased some during those time frame here in EU. How does that work?

Oh, thanks for pointing me to Soniox. It is really good. Would also pick up the words with different languages, identify and output in the right language. Looks interesting. It was much faster too, but that I cannot say much since it was on their own website.

The latest LogiOptions plus is a nightmare and I was really happy to see this. However, looking at comments I have now found one more alternative which I had not heard of. Thanks HN. I also have installed karabiner elements for some of the mouse remapping.

Everytime Lobste.rs get posted, I get to think should I dive in. This time maybe. Could somebody be kind enough to give me an invite. Email in my profile. Thanks.
Re:LinkedIn is a cesspool of scammers and identity theft on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @01:37PM (#48924391)
I am also amused at how people are still using it in its current context. Like some of the recruiters and companies want to have access to your linkedIn. They themselves use it as it is good for their own SEO, a nice emoji on their corporate website, push employees to be on the platform. Well I think the site also tries to do a lot to leverage on the users presence there and it is working for them. Q3 FY2026: Revenue increased 12% year-over-year (9% in constant currency).

LinkedIn has job boards, sales navigator and a bunch of things(ads, learning etc). We as users are paying them and also giving them data and they are harvesting on this data. They already have their AI to generate posts for you and all you get is infinite scroll of garbage like Tiktok or instagram. It is bound to pollute when you are doing a lot and trying to make shit load of money through it.

I think many have mentioned that the alternatives are also not addressing the right problems of LI.

But I have been observing the alternatives that have been showing up and of course it does not do justice for a professional network. Its my 2 cents and I can say this with my own conscience as I have built a couple of social networks across the last decade and have had considerable success. Maybe it is time to roll up my sleeves and take a jab at it. :). If anyone is interested to join just DM me and if we hit it, I am willing to angel invest and start a true professional network.

Re:I Build a 10 Inch Mini Rack from Aluminium Extrusions on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @11:53PM (#48742053)
Do we have something similar to McMaster-Carr in Europe. I am looking at maybe Germany, Denmark, Sweden , North Europe and Scandinavia?
First, I have not read the book. You mentioned Novo Nordisk, but given the current context and so many changes that employees/company has undergone recently and the way it is performing, do you still think that it was a good example to include here. What factors played for it to suddenly undergo so much when you have mentioned they have been structured to resist gravity and thrive for decades -- or even centuries?
This looks interesting. With auth and certs we might have something equivalent!
+1 for this. Looking for something like exe.dev. self hosted . I tried using ionos cloud VPS , 4gig one could not handle even 3 basic web servers.

Re:Your Website Is Not for You on Friday May 01, 2026 @08:20AM (#47973945)
Maybe that's why I am not in your target audience, but love how the design looks. I have bookmarked it also. You show so many features and it is nice in the way it is being presented and is also mobile friendly. Also I too am a fan of neobrutalism. :)
unfortunately I do not have it anymore. I would say my ux was more producthunt approach with grids of creators and each detail page looked like github readme. A simple show of text and data that the creators had.
There goes my idea :). Time to sell my domain :) But nicely done. I had looked at official api's to get the most data and in my case I was doing more liked linkedTree. The creator themselves had to upload data and agree for that to being shared. As I did not want anybody to put in the handle and start using the data and me hitting the endpoints on their behalf. But scaling was problem for me. Also it was a challenge for me to entice users, but somewhere I thought, creators and influencers would be more willing to showcase their data and claim more if being shorted. Anyways best of luck. (Maybe I should get back to the drawing board, since it is on top of hn :))
Thanks for quick response. It started to work. I think it must be some caching issue. But it needs a trailing '/' . Maybe will raise the issue for this. Cool.
Nice idea. To test I ran a simple nextjs on port 3000. Added the service via the dashboard. However, when I visit the url, (using chrome latest version), https://{mygivenname}.numa/ I hit a DNS resolution fail error. If I do not use a trailing '/' then it is going to google search for {mygivenname}.numa and shows me some search results. Should I open an issue?
I cancelled my pro plan last month. I was using Claude as my daily driver. In fact had the API plan also and topped it with $20 more. So it was around $40 each month. Starting from December last year it has been like this. When sessions could last a couple of hours with some deep boilerplate and db queries etc. to architecture discussion and tool selection. Slowly the last two months it just gets over. One prompt and few discussions as to why this and not that and it is done.
I know I was not going for it. After I pasted I realized I should have put it in a Gist and linked here. I had already edited the code twice and still had issues. I could no longer edit it. I am also not seeing a delete option too.
I think there is too much customization and options. Maybe having a .*aml/json file would be good.

I have a few hammerspoon customization for me to choose and open the applications I have. I put those on different desktop but use this to open applications. Whereas for the tiling itself use either aerospace or Loop.

Here is the hammerspoon code for opening the apps using keyboard more like vim jump options.

```

----show all windows of the clicked application

local function showAppWindows(window) local app = window:application() local appWindows = app:allWindows() if #appWindows > 1 then hs.hints.windowHints(appWindows, function(selectedWindow) selectedWindow:focus() local frame = selectedWindow:frame() hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 }) end) else window:focus() local frame = window:frame() hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 }) end end

hs.hotkey.bind({ "cmd", "ctrl", "alt", "shift" }, "p", function() hs.hints.windowHints(nil, showAppWindows) end)

----window search modal

local function createWindowSearchModal() local allWindows = hs.window.allWindows() local windowChoices = {}

    for i, window in ipairs(allWindows) do
        if window:title() and window:title() ~= "" then
            local app = window:application()
            local appName = app and app:name() or "Unknown"
            table.insert(windowChoices, {
                text = appName .. " - " .. window:title(),
                subText = "Window " .. i,
                window = window,
                id = i
            })
        end
    end

    local chooser = hs.chooser.new(function(choice)
        if choice and choice.window then
            choice.window:focus()
            local frame = choice.window:frame()
            hs.mouse.absolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 })
        end
    end)

    chooser:choices(windowChoices)
    chooser:searchSubText(true)
    chooser:show()
end

hs.hotkey.bind({ "cmd", "ctrl", "alt", "shift" }, "o", function() createWindowSearchModal() end)

---- window search modal for active application only

local function createActiveAppWindowSearchModal()

local frontmostApp = hs.application.frontmostApplication() if not frontmostApp then hs.alert.show("No active application detected") return end local appWindows = frontmostApp:allWindows() local windowChoices = {} for i, window in ipairs(appWindows) do if window:title() and window:title() ~= "" then table.insert(windowChoices, { text = window:title(), subText = "Window " .. i, window = window, id = i }) end end if #windowChoices == 0 then hs.alert.show("No windows found for active application") return end local chooser = hs.chooser.new(function(choice) if choice and choice.window then choice.window:focus() local frame = choice.window:frame() hs.mouse.absolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 }) end end) chooser:choices(windowChoices) chooser:searchSubText(true) chooser:show() end

hs.hotkey.bind({ "cmd" }, "1", function() createActiveAppWindowSearchModal() end) ```

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026) on Monday March 09, 2026 @07:18AM (#47307570)
Super cool. We are also doing something similar but not open sourced (still thinking about it). We are doing e-commerce, pos, kitchen-screen etc. Both for product and services so from Yoga Studio/Salons to Take-away Restaurants or ecommerce shops. However focussed only in Europe. Since we are working with a Europe payment processor and early users are getting 0% in transaction fees. The live demo is still not working and we are onboarding on a case by case basis. https://storenu.com
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026) on Monday February 09, 2026 @02:25AM (#46942514)
Somehow i had landed on your page sometime back and was just impressed with the quality of landing page and also the concept. Hope to use it in near time.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026) on Monday February 09, 2026 @02:21AM (#46942492)
I am working on a e-commerce and pos solution. More like shopify/saleor/woocommerce etc. with ready to start for small businesses selling physical and online and in-store products and services.

The platform itself is built on elysiajs/bun and tanstack and is completely hosted in EU and the payment processor is a EU based entity and we have an ISV partnership.

Re:GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2-Codex are now 40% faster on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @05:17AM (#46883965)
I do not think so. I have been using both for a long time and with Claude I keep hitting the limits quickly and also most of the time arguing. The latest GPT is just getting things done and does it fast. I also agree with most of them that the limits are more generous. (context, do lot of web, backend development and mobile dev)
Re:Flameshot on Friday January 30, 2026 @02:50AM (#46821644)
This is one of the must have apps on my mac. Combined with hammerspoon or even Raycast, you can do quite a bit of things.

The author mentions about it in the name change for edgeDb to gel. However, it could also have been added in the Acquisitions landscape. Gel joined vercel [1].

Re:SQLite AI on Friday December 26, 2025 @07:12AM (#46391341)
Normally, I hate to comment on things like license, trademark etc. as it is not what I understand deeply nor I think my comments would make any difference since I am not any Lawyer etc.

But really interested in maybe understanding this a little better.

sqllite is in Public domain. From their website 'All code authors, and representatives of the companies they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to the public domain and originals of those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe at the main offices of Hwaci.[1]'

Now if one of the authors is behind this or funding this, how can they still use the domain to a personal benefit? I do not understand that. Does that mean, if I hold on to a good domain hack of something that is highly regarded in public domain will it not be trademark infringement irrespective of whether somebody from that company is behind or not?

Always nice to see something in here. Would love to hear what is your take on https://www.instantdb.com/?
Re:Show HN: rift – a tiling window manager for macOS on Sunday October 12, 2025 @04:26AM (#45556430)
I have been using Loop(https://github.com/MrKai77/Loop) after trying some of the alternatives listed here and wanted to post that as it was not mentioned. It is something that solves what I was looking for in window management on macos and just putting it out here :).
Re:No Figma, I won't fit in your little box on Wednesday October 01, 2025 @03:39PM (#45442323)
Like all the comments below, a show HN should have been the norm, but they knew that would not get any clicks and this. However, I do not understand their pricing. If nordcraft's ppl are here, please tell me how does it work. For open source, you say there is a limit of 20k requests? . But I can always download the code/web-components and deploy anywhere I want right? Then even enterprise can do that? I do not understand it. Also it is Apache License 2.0. I can host it on my own cloud. Are there some restrictions if I do that?
