Insanely cool. I'm in the midst of building a web tabletop for Magic [1] that really just me and my friends use, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can contribute our game data t…

Hey HN, I built a little game to test out a few technologies I wanted to try out. The object of the game is simple: find the most common answers to a prompt. How it works: - player…

Yup that's about right. I don't mind though; I view this project as a labor of love.

Ha I appreciate the thought, but it's hard to compare novel writing from thought leaders to funny images. I wish I could charge more, but I don't think the value is quite there yet…

Web comic newsletter: https://funnies.page Full disclosure - $500+/month in revenue, but not profit. The majority (95%) goes to the creators I work with.

I can give you some data from my own newsletter [1]. Newsletter supports both RSS and Pocket as alternative sources for newsletter issues. ~200 subscribers ~6% accessed their RSS U…

Even for my own newsletter ( https://funnies.page ) I set up email filters so I wouldn’t get email notifications in the morning. Eventually added RSS and the option to disable emai…

[shameless plug] I run a web comic newsletter ( https://funnies.page ) for anyone interested in comics from contemporary artists. I’m always in search of the next great comic strip…

Recently I've been thinking a lot about the Facebook VPN that paid its users to collect data from them. There was a ton of backlash around this story, but it left me wondering, cou…

I actually like this. 1.) Totally opt-in. Unless this cafe holds a monopoly on the coffee market on this college campus, students can choose to participate. 2.) It seems like the s…

Does anyone have experience using refundable deposits to filter out serious applicants/users from not-so-serious ones? Does it work? Why or why not? An example of a service that us…

And what are some current examples?
