Nothing is too low for Sam. I expect any kind of shady shit from that company
I work async and communicate via screen recordings a lot. Loop and other softwares felt clunky with their litlte windows obstruction on every window change/reboot. So I built a simple in-browser screen recorder with basic editing and share links that expire in 24h. Cloudflare R2 giving free egress allowed me to make it free.

Hi HN, Lookie makes youtube videos readable by summarizing with as much detail as possible while removing other useless segments like sponsored sections. You can highlight and save necessary parts for easy access and chat with them (soon!).It came out of personal need when I was traveling I found myself turning to youtube for most travel tips and good spots to visit/eat etc.The process was too...

I also did the same, built my own analytics with TinyBird for one of my projects (https://linkycal.com). It ended up costing less than paying for a hosting provider

I am not sure what you are trying to say here but if you can find a way to make something like this with a tailwind-whatever-the-fuck, please let me know because I need it too.

- I have 154 active users as of now.

- I had the Pro sale running since January starting as a new year sale, it was at 20 now 11 left.

- I have been building the project for over a year on and off. Everything is made by myself. Scheduling, messaging, page builder, etc, I am not launching off of a template.

If you are actually a developer, you should know these things are not that npm-install easy.

Hope your weekend gets better

Pettiness and entitlement in the comments are another level! Kudos to Tony for having the guts to take the leap and reaching this milestone
Re:Thoughts on Svelte(Kit), one year and 3B requests later on Thursday June 22, 2023 @07:00AM (#36430314)
I have used both SvelteKit and React. Dev velocity was great in the beginning with SvelteKit when everything was super simple but decreased drastically as the project grew. Went back to Next. Apart from devs, none really cares if you wrote it in Svelte, React or bare HTML/CSS or if your site loads double digit milliseconds slower.
Re:I lost $209,640 of my own money trying to start a business on Tuesday January 31, 2023 @09:57AM (#34595792)
Thing I learned through experience and also from other people is always do the bare minimum when starting a project like this. You should be able to get away with low code/templated websites for most cases. No need to build mobile apps unless it's absolutely necessary, like when it wont work without native apis. Also Rob W says dont start a marketplace if you dont have one side already figured out
