I vibe coded a chrome extension that highlights new links on HN frontpage since your last visit, so that you dont have to waste time looking for which links are new.

I have another issue. Randomly my M1 Macbook Air's frames drop below 20fps and I can see a trail behind the cursor and when I swipe between diff apps. Happens quite regularly with cpu idling at 97% and 6-7gb of memory left unused

Yes, please, yes.

It doesn't matter what anybody says, if some users love you and it is sustainable then keep building and make it a big success. Don't listen to the weirdo-naysayers here.

Hey HN,I am a 24yo from India and have been self employed building websites and apps small businesses since I was 17. I have also built a ton of side projects but none of them have been "successful" yet.

Re:Chrome exempts Google sites from user site data settings on Sunday October 18, 2020 @09:15AM (#24817653)
A tangent but, a lot of google's sites disobey browser standards and rules like for example sound autoplay on load. When you visit https://santatracker.google.com/ or youtube, it automatically plays sound without any user interaction, which is impossible for non Google sites to do
Re:Feds may target Google's Chrome browser for breakup on Sunday October 11, 2020 @01:23AM (#24743907)
How would an argument against Chrome this even hold up? Google has decoupled the technology from the distribution. The chromium browser is open source, any body can build on it and many companies have. The platform where chrome is pre-installed doesn't prevent the use of other browsers and underlying technologies unlike Apple. How does consumer preference make one a monopoly when moving away from chrome is not difficult at all as you have no lock-ins

Hi Peter! If YC accepts a company from a south asian country like India and the founders decide to relocate their company to the US, what does the visa/immigration process look like for them?

Keep making stuff like these, this habit will be the biggest force multiplier in your life. I wish I had started so early. All the best.

Creating something. I am not a maker/creator but I have seen gazillion examples of people building/creating things that ultimately gives them an exponential push in life.

Creating can be blog posts, photographs, videos, software anything, doesn't matter as long as atleast one other benefits from it, just one.

I am building a website where you guys would be able to post your startup's daily progress and metrics and investors will find you on a leaderboard sorted by "fastest growing / most active" startups and be able to contact you for investment. You'd also be able to contact the investors and show them your progress and you daily, weekly and monthly growth (in %). Is this something you'd pay $20/mo...
