Thank you! That is very kind!

I love these threads, and always learn or pick up something new. From my side, I've been working on a multi-lingual first words book for a baby. None of the published books have ou…

It's great, used it pretty extensively yesterday! My only request would be if there was a way to undo your last redaction (apologies if there is a way and I missed it). I found tha…

Thanks for making this, and making it freely available. I actually have a use case for your other product: pdfredactoronline.com as I need to redact personal info on job applicatio…

This is great to see on the front page! I include it as part of the newsletter I run on the best/nostalgic side of the internet so it’s cool to see it resonating with people here f…

Thanks for clarifying, we're a small org and so the few mentions we get could be analysed manually I'm sure. I will flag it to the marketing team!

This is really interesting, thanks for sharing! I'm keen to know how it compares to a tool like Pulsar? I've been quoted a huge amount to use their service, and it looks like menti…

I love that you've shared how you built it and been so transparent around pricing. I think anything that helps reduce asymmetry of information in the markets is a good thing, and I…

I really like this! I created a month or so back - https://www.thedailydetour.co.uk/ , inspired by what seems like a similar ambition! I wanted a way to get interesting/fun/amusing…

For me it's less about training for a job, and more just curiosity - what makes one answer to these questions better than another? I wonder what criteria they use and knowing that …

Fun to see the questions, but I would love even more to read the essays they got along with the mark scheme/examiner's comments. What is they are looking for? And what in their eye…

Thanks, that's a good reminder to just focus on the value. Plus, I enjoy it too - so in the end I guess that's the only thing that matters.

Yeah, I think need to get over thinking it's bad to self-promote and just go for it. I'll check out your blog!

I've got a lot out of reading HN, and would love to learn from this community's experience of how they got users/sign ups for a newsletter they've started/worked on. Any insights g…

I like the principle of making information easier to share and more accessible for those who need it. However, from the perspective of someone who uses WhatsApp a lot, I think a de…
