Re:Ask HN: When to release the first version of an iOS app? on Tuesday August 30, 2022 @08:47PM (#32657034)
Release it now then keep working on it taking advantage of users feedback, this way you will know exactly what you need to work on first.
Re:Migrate from Heroku to Render on Tuesday August 30, 2022 @02:01PM (#32653216)
If you're planning to use Render's free plans as an alternative to Heroku, then you should know about this: "Render’s free database plan allows you to run a PostgreSQL database that automatically expires 90 days after creation. Free databases are suspended after 90 days (unless they are upgraded to a paid plan), and are no longer reachable at this point." so as a workaround, you should keep creating free databases after every 90 days.

Please, if you know other good alternatives share them with us
I just contacted them on that email.

I sent them this submission so they reply here

I think it's possible to do not block immediately by alerting the user as a first procedure.

A lot if users doesn't know about this, that's why I think it's not right

Yes I understand that blocking his blog's URL because of promotion is normal, but still, I think he should know about that
You can't be an expert in many things.

Be an expert in one thing + know a little of more other things

Look at this user for example, he was posting for a year and guess what, for a year of posting, all of his submissions are dead, without him knowing, only the first 9 submissions from 2021 that are visible, only 9 from ~58 and he keeps posting because he don't know that his submissions are not visible.

I don't think this is right

Hashnode and Dev's links are marked [dead] automatically

Have a look here (make sure to enable dead posts in your account):https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=hashnode.dev - https://i.imgur.com/joAk5kH.pnghttps://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=dev.to - https://i.imgur.com/dw06r2Q.pngAlmost all the posts from Dev.to and Hashnode are marked [dead], it's like 98%!Maybe it's because users are promoting their blogs on those two platforms, but why...

Re:Ask HN: Any tips for staying focused on side projects? on Saturday August 27, 2022 @04:34PM (#32622916)
First, don't work on 3 or 2 projects, work only on one, when you finish it you can start another. Try sharing your progress on social media or where ever you want, make a post where you say something like that "I'm going to make an app called X that will do Y and Z, I will start tomorrow, I'm aiming to finish it in 02 months and I will regularly share progress". By just knowing that you have to share progress and that there are real humans waiting to know what you have done, will push you to work hard and don't stop.

Ask HN: Heroku free tier will be stopped, what are some good alternatives?

As Heroku mentioned in its latest blog post, they will stop their free plan starting November 28, 2022. I guess some companies will take advantage of this and will launch a free tier themselves, it's a great time to do that, they surely will get a good amount of new users. So what are some other good alternatives?
