It's hard to know exactly what you mean by "simple", but I'm fairly sure you want to avoid any frameworks, as those tend to have a learning curve, even for the easiest ones. Same g…

Help me understand the appeal of NFT art. I love digital art, but I don't see the appeal of spending money to get the token certifying you as the owner. The image/work is still out…

Yes, and still is attempting. He and his climbing partner used the weather window to make another acclimatization rotation up to camp 2. I believe they are at base camp now.

Question for everyone on this thread who went from being (1) a regular caffeine user to (2) completely or mostly abstinent: did you find that you were as or even more mentally prod…

When you describe it as a "Rotten Tomatoes" style platform, I think of only having a handful of trusted people/experts giving reviews for items (IE established movie critics). It l…

This is a cool idea, but I'm worried (like a lot of other commenters) that a "rapid fire" approach like this may not work, and could get you banned from a lot of communities. As a …

HackerNews is listed as one of the directories. When I submitted my project (soon to be startup) I got a ton of support and advice, it was invaluable. That being said, I don't thin…

uigradients is really nice, although they only have linear gradients (which look really good). I created Gradient Magic to highlight the large variety of styles and patterns that a…

It depends on a number of factors. Some of the more complex gradients could certainly be larger than some of the SVGs you are using in terms of raw size, but I'm not sure that woul…

They should work consistently on all modern browsers except IE. As far as performance, they should be "faster" than needing to download external images. In terms of page rendering …

Yeah, thats my concern with subscriptions as well. I'm not sure many people would need to come back that often. Maybe more premium features (like what you highlight below) would wo…

I looked into it before, and I don't think html2canvas would work. IIRC the only way to get the gradients was using the screen capture API [1], which works, but requires users to c…

Great idea! I've considered adding an option to download individual gradients as an image, but I haven't thought about that as the primary focus. Certainly the number of people int…

Hey HN! GradientMagic is a side project that I launched roughly a year ago. It’s a large gallery of unique CSS gradients. You can browse the different patterns and copy the CSS wit…

Agreed! After all, look where we are posting :) What I was trying to say, but didn't have the space to fully articulate, was that it can look a little noisy and random at first gla…

Just skimming some of the replies here makes me think you will get better advice on the Bogleheads forum [1]. Despite the minimalist appearance it is actually a great place to get …

I’m debating starting an email list to keep people up to date on my personal projects and writing. My main motivation is to get eyes on some of the projects I'm working on. I don’t…

Another +1 recommendation for the book and related videos. While it has not been a silver bullet (nothing is), it has given me a lot of helpful tools to improve my designs. The boo…

I’m trying to build a (non-mobile) website that resembles a crowd-sourced blog. Requirements are thus: (1) users can create accounts, (2) users submit posts (text w/ optional image…
