    Thanks for this Alex! Will definitely check this out. DynamoDBGuide.com was a huge help to me when I was learning serverless last year to build wanderium.com. There's definitely a …

    It's unfortunate for Hipmunk to just be turned off despite its founders trying to buy it back: https://skift.com/2020/01/14/hipmunk-co-founders-spurned-by-... I remember being pret…

    I find it a bit funny how many people in here think Disney sucks now. The tech/developer crowd clearly is not their audience (which is fine). I personally think Disney has done a g…

    For a great in depth but still understandable look at the race to zero emissions, including carbon capture technologies, I highly recommend this series from Quartz: https://qz.com/…

    It seems increasingly likely with every one of these reports that our usage of plastics has lead to the large drop in sperm counts the last few decades: https://www.gq.com/story/sp…

    But the whole point of me using Contentful is that a non-developer will have an easy time editing content within Contentful vs. having to set up a local way of accessing those mark…

    How does this compare to Contentful? I've been trying to combine their headless CMS with Middleman but it hasn't been that easy to use, although the experience I'm trying to create…

    We've been working on a product more oriented towards "everyday" remembering instead of hardcore educational learning called Remembered.io ( https://remembered.io ) It's meant for …

    Thanks! That was helpful. I agree we can do a better job with the copy on our landing page. I use Anki as well for learning Chinese, but the use case is different for me. What YC c…

    Hey HN, we built this recently because we saw a gap not being filled by calendar/note/todo apps. We noticed that even after writing down notes/ideas we wanted to remember, we’d for…

    Yup, agreed. Here's a great Freakonomics podcast on the upside of quitting that's quite illuminating: http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/09/30/new-freakonomics-radi...

    Yup, 3rd time here too. This was our first time applying with TwoSides ( http://www.twosides.co ). No worries though, we should all keep plowin' along.
