Everything about the book publishing industry is antiquated. I wish Amazon focused on books instead of ecommerce. The real disruption of books haven't really happened. I thought eB…

Seeing that aqua scrollbar fills me with such joy. This is when tech was joyful and fun. I think what happened to the scrollbar is such a reflection of our industry as a whole. A m…

I want to try this, but unfortunately there are just too many Electron applications on my computer now. I literally cannot run anymore without slowing everything down. This is some…

Hey HN, I built this originally last year because I was frustrated that epubs even though they are digital are not being fully utilized. I also read on many different platforms and…

I loved Magit when I used to use Emacs but I review a lot more code these days and I wanted something lightweight and fast where I can see changes happening in real time as the cod…

This is a first draft of an app that I am working on that is the "anti blinkist (the book summarization app)". I call it Augre (aug-ur - short for augmented reader) and the whole i…

I am working on a ebook reader which uses AI to make reading easier and has a built in book club to talk about the book as you read it and once you are done. Basically I am buildin…

If you think Canada is the answer then let me stop you right there. Canada's problems are only increasing and while there are no school shootings there are stabbings and homeless p…

Email is great for consuming but something for browsing / discovering newsletters for different product areas in a company is something that I was looking for. Do any of your compa…

The delivery piece can be email for sure but the discovery / browsing piece is harder to do through email.

Something like monthly newsletters for a product area and an easy way to consume it via a mobile app.

I use supabase as our backend for https://sudopad.com and recently crossed 1000 shared links. Has been pretty stable for me. The only thing I am waiting for is the ability to call …

I use RLS quite heavily for my app Sudopad ( https://sudopad.com ) and it has been working quite well so far. One gotcha specific to Supabase (where I run the backend) is because t…

Sudopad is a link sharing board where you or others can add links and share them with others. Imba has been a great language choice so far. It makes everything easy. Now I have add…

Thank you. I'll add the edit functionality shortly. I'm glad simple bookmark sharing is something that you like. After building it for just my friend, I see more and more use cases…

Yes adding it would be trivial. Right now I just add the new link with a note. Would it help your usecase?

You could. Maybe not slack but google doc you can. But it just feels not built for this purpose. Along with the extension I'm developing this would let you share with 1 click and g…

Pad url aliases would be nice to have. But I would have to gate it behind a login so that there are no clashes. Would you be ok signing up with a magic link for such a feature? The…

Well why not. I can definitely see it can be useful. I just added it. Should be live. It's text field. So you can also write long notes if you want. It's up to you.

Oh that is actually shynet self hosted analytics which is privacy friendly. https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet But I think I'll just remove it for now. Update: removed

Interesting. Can you kindly let me know your browser and os?

Huh. That is so strange. Your ideas about the browser extension is exactly what I have in mind. Ill post a link on sudopad once it is ready. I was going to build a Firefox extensio…

Ya that's a nice side effect I didn't think of. Thanks. I also use browser bookmarks a lot so I just bookmark one board for a friend and another for family.
