    Here's my basic understanding of it: This sounds like webhooks, but they have a set payload, so that the server that is sent the webhook just calls the rest endpoint it is given in…

    This sounds like webhooks, but they have a set payload, so that the server that is sent the webhook just calls the rest endpoint it is given in the payload. Interesting idea, but i…

    I made a feed reader called Bulletin that has infinite scroll that works just fine. Can't see why others couldn't do it as well. We also went for minimal on the UI. bulletin.io

    I'm genuinely curious about the motivations of some of the people that endorse me. Are they expecting me to endorse them back? Why do they keep endorsing me for things I don't real…

    Neat trick, but probably too limited to be of much use. Also, stopping it is kind of a nuisance.

    That's great and all, but my RSS Service has SSL by default, no support queue, and is only $2/month or $16/year. Everyone is a user, and everyone is treated the same. No ads, ever.…

    Not a bad idea. Might help to keep the list in alphabetical order too, so that people can check for duplicates more easily.

    Can't say for myself, but I would bet such a person exists. I know a few that could be candidates, but I don't know how much they're making monthly. Add on that he's probably exagg…

    I always wondered if that was the case, so it's nice to see someone actually checking it out. I do wonder why some of the numbers weren't more specific. A 5% discount on the solar …

    This is a great first step, but can we sustain this and keep more patents from being granted. Everything hinges on community involvement, so hopefully we can build and sustain a co…

    I've been using Stripe for a little over a month now. I think their developer tools are the best available.

    I can't see this becoming a thing. Just like the author points out, how would users type these in. At best, special symbols will only be useful outside the domain portion, but they…

    One great use for this would be to search for known vulnerable code and then get people to patch it.

    These are interesting to look at, but I really think we will see more variation than people are expecting. Maybe it will take some time, just like with the original iPhone OS, but …

    Doesn't this just reinforce the fact that using a third-party service for authentication is a bad idea? Most users don't understand it. You app is, generally, forced to ask for mor…

    That's cool. I'm a GT grad myself. I'd be glad to chat about how we built it, just shoot an email to info@bulletin.io.

    Thanks! We made sure the site was responsive, so that we could cover all mobile platforms at launch. We're hoping that some app developers will jump on the API and build some nativ…

    Show HN: Bulletin, a fast, clean Google Reader replacement

    https://www.bulletin.io My friend and I spent the last 4 months building the fastest, cleanest RSS reader we could. There are a lot of features to come, but for now, I think we hav…
