Takes me back to the days when I was 9 years old making websites on angelfire, geocities, etc.

Brendon... Brendon... Check it out... We've got wiggle animation back, Brendon. This is great.
I got one where the subject was wearing glasses but had no eyes!
Re:Why Blogging Platforms Suck on Monday December 11, 2023 @09:23AM (#38600873)
Friendly reminder that in 2023 ~90% of consumer internet traffic is done on a mobile device. Us power users and people pretending to work in their cubicles use desktops a ton (though both groups also use their smartphones extensively). Best practice is to design for mobile-first, especially if you're trying to optimize for search. Google now indexes with mobile usability priority, too.

ETA: That said, it works pretty well on mobile for me. Not sure if you made any changes in the last 3 hours (:

That was fast!
The new Discord mobile layout is even worse than the new Webflow designer layout.

Kinda looks like it's the original launch version of Instagram but sharing only with friends (approved followers) instead of publicly. Combined with that app from like 13 years ago where you could have your photos printed into postcards and sent to people... dang what was that called? That's a throwback.
Re:Ask HN: Does Email Open Rate not matter? on Friday December 08, 2023 @09:32AM (#38569458)
Open rates for tracked marketing/sales emails are almost always determined by an image with a unique URL being loaded in an HTML email. So if you load remote content, it'll register as an open even if read receipts are blocked.
Re:Ask HN: Does Email Open Rate not matter? on Friday December 08, 2023 @09:30AM (#38569439)
Not only that, but if your recipient has an iPhone and uses the Mail app (and a few other platforms now), the images are all loaded on Apple (or other) servers first as part of a privacy and safety process, registering as an Open. So it's even harder to tell if people are actually opening the emails or not.
Re:Ask HN: First Salary Buy, a Sovuvenir on Wednesday December 06, 2023 @02:35PM (#38548436)
I was like 12 when I got my first paycheck and probably bought Pokémon cards (which I still have) but no clue, really... 20 years later when I received my first payout from a company I co-founded, I bought a bottle of Hibiki 21... does that count?
Re:Co-foundercheck on Tuesday December 05, 2023 @09:45AM (#38531445)
Now take that data and use it to power a co-founder matchmaking network, rather than it just being between two people!
I wonder what this does for people who cannot picture things in their brains?
Re:Venezuela voters approve claim to oil-rich swath of Guyana on Monday December 04, 2023 @09:47AM (#38517927)
I love that Venezuela was totally fine with Guyana being the way it is for 100 years but now that there's oil. They're all REAL SHIT? meme.
Re:Appsumo Products Competitor Analysis on Monday December 04, 2023 @09:16AM (#38517481)
Probably, because 90% of the tools that launch on Appsumo are kinda garbage.

Okay but there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Homestar Runner. Well... yes there is, but there's nothing wrong with the site aside from it being built in Flash.
Re:Ask HN: What laptop computer do you currently use? on Thursday November 30, 2023 @10:14AM (#38474455)
2021 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 R9 5900HS + RTX 3060. A wee beastie, I love it.

This is beautiful.
Re:Ask HN: Is ChatGPT Down? It's not even allowing me to login on Wednesday November 22, 2023 @10:09AM (#38380259)
No problems for me. Just logged out and back in.
Who could have possibly seen this coming?!?

Polygon has always been pretty awful.
Re:Super Mario RPG is an endearing, perplexing relic on Wednesday November 22, 2023 @09:57AM (#38380078)
Oh, so it's more like the Evangelion Rebuild. That's cool. I haven't touched FF7 Remake yet.
Re:OpenAI staff threaten to quit unless board resigns on Monday November 20, 2023 @10:08AM (#38349289)
Boards suck. Especially if they are VCs or placed there by VCs.
I've wanted something like this for a while... might have to pick one up. Congrats on making something you wanted AND bringing it to market.
Re:CSS Text-Wrap: Pretty on Thursday November 16, 2023 @04:30PM (#38295826)
Now THIS is something I can get behind. I'll have to experiment with this a bit, it looks pretty good.

Yes

There is a very thin line separating "scalpers" and "opportunistic investors" and that line moves based on where you are standing.

I use, on average, 5 HSR quotes per day. Even now in 2023.
Re:Texture Healing for Monospace Fonts on Friday November 10, 2023 @03:33PM (#38224133)
Yeah... I hate this. Solves a "problem" for someone with a different type of OCD than mine.
Reddit's on-site search is so incredibly awful. It's impossible to find anything even remotely like what you're looking for. If they de-index or go behind a paywall or something, it will become useless.
Lousy Smarch weather....
