Recently, Apple has been trying to strengthen its services sector as its hardware business slows down. So, why hasn’t Apple bought Adobe yet? Acquiring Adobe would eliminate one of…

Do investors despise game development companies, and do you have to go solo? If so, I would have expected to see at least one on Show HN. Or maybe I missed it—definitely not as pop…

Apparently, this company has the sole right to issue ISBNs; no other company in the USA is legally allowed to do so. This is highly unusual, since it is a for-profit corporation, n…

Thank you for the link, I emailed them and waiting for their response; it is surprisingly difficult to find an actual programmer nowadays, AI brothers are everywhere though.

I have a small project using JavaScript and a Chrome extension. Do you have experience building extensions? If so, please let me know.

I’m trying to get in touch with the developer of (Modern for Hacker News), link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/modern-for-hacker-news/dabkegjlekdcmefifaolmdhnhdcplklo?hl…

I have a small development company that I recently started. My strengths are Java, Python, and Swift, but I am weak in JavaScript due to the disorganized nature of the language. Be…

To close the loop on the last missing piece in the iPhone—making it a fully integrated end-to-end communication and media device—Apple buying Verizon would be a game-changer, espec…

I'm curious: what kind of API or app-based service doesn't exist yet (or isn’t widely available), but you would gladly pay for if someone built it? Think of tools, data, integratio…

>As an avid OpenStreetMapper I honestly wonder what kind of data is missing in OpenStreetMap. Is that something sighted persons cannot grasp and thus not add to OSM? Have you seen.…

>I'm not sure what it means. It's a PDF reader? It's another format that is similar PDF but more screen reader friendly? Yes, a PDF alternative optimized for screen readers. For so…

This is actually a great question. For me, as an individual, the software I create to fulfill an important need for blind people would be worth it. But having said that, I shouldn'…

Yes, as I read HN and Reddit, I’m seeing all the big corporations acting like vultures. The problem is, as these corporations monopolize the market—either by buying out or renderin…

That is my plan, but I am afraid I would have the opposite problem, no programmer, the one we want, would bother contributing.

That’s exactly what I have in mind too. The only issue is avoiding the “freeloader problem” that most big corporations have embraced lately. For example, with my local navigation s…

I am currently working on two projects: a PDF alternative for the blind and Google Maps/navigation for the blind in my city. I started from scratch with no AI or third-party relian…

Why is the term "engineer" used in almost every technical job title these days—prompt engineer, cybersecurity engineer, and even software engineer? Does this bother anyone else? I …

Nowadays, software is slowly but surely becoming more of a commodity than a unique product that requires specific skill and expertise, thanks to AI. To address this new market wher…

While this would undoubtedly invade our privacy more than current advertising companies like Google and Facebook, it could potentially eliminate or significantly reduce the wholesa…

When I observe the most innovative advertising companies on the internet, such as Facebook and Google, their apparent disregard for privacy is striking. Similarly, my experience su…

I think Apple knows that in the desktop market, they don't have as much of a monopoly as they do in mobile. So they often neglect the Mac and its software because if they introduce…
