For whoever built this app: I was checking HN in bed. I clicked your app and noticed the ISS would be passing overhead in less than a minute. My reaction was to immediately jump up…

If you want passive income with no work, then you have to supply capital. If you don't have capital, then work is required. Unfortunately there are no passive income businesses tha…

Candyjapan is definitely a business supported by a lot of custom code. Read this: https://www.candyjapan.com/behind-the-scenes/how-many-lines-...

I built Flipmeme a while back. Finally got around to a re-design. It's been a really great side project. Been hovering around 250k uniques for while. List view is also cool! http:/…

I was curious to see how it was able to run so snappy. It actually feels like the help section for a native app. I found the source code: https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs It's no…

Oh, this, this is a great idea. Do it!

What, the .js file for the globe itself is 43 thousand lines of code. Was this a weekend project? How do you find the time? Very well done my friend. ( https://github.com/arscan/en…

I completely agree this is awesome. Would be very interested in a detailed write up of every detail behind this project. In the meantime, you can just ride into the sunset knowing …

Wow, I played this game when I was a kid. Can't believe it's just running inside the browser. Great job.

Pixels don't care, but businesses care a lot about who their vendors are. Specifically, business owners want to buy from companies that can provide more than a result. They need to…

Hello Joe, I'm actually just using the names of the images off of Imgur. There is a discussion on reddit of how this is done, you can find it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpr…

Hey HN! I launched flipmeme.com a couple of years ago. It's a fun side project which really helped my learn Django and Python. I haven't touched it in a while, but it's recently ge…

This is excellent! Thanks for building this. The onboarding is awesome, I was compelled to sign up after the walkthrough.

Hey man, I'm also from Mexico but currently live in NY. This is pretty awesome. How did you manage to get traction with small businesses? Would love to chat if you have time, my em…
