Hey HN. I was always a huge fan of Reddit's RemindMe! bot and wanted to have something like that outside of Reddit, so I finally built it! You can try it here: https://mailreminder…

https://next-episode.net It's a (now more than 20 years old) TV tracking website and community. I've been using Claude 4.5 Opus (now 4.6) more and more these days modernizing and r…

20 years and counting, working on https://next-episode.net (it's a TV/Movies tracking website and community). I've dedicated this week to some maintenance tasks that are long overd…

I can totally relate. In addition to "no one to bounce ideas off" - no one to really share the pain and responsibility with when there are problems. It's all on you. Thankfully, my…

This reminds me a of a very faithful (in browser) recreation of Windows XP I stumbled upon recently, may've even been on HN: https://win32.run/ Good times.

I built this simple tool that lets you share links without triggering previews or thumbnails on social and chat platforms. I often wanted to share a link without drawing attention,…

I can tell you my reasoning. While developing the dark mode theme for my mobile app, I experimented with pure black background first. It looked off. I couldn't figure out why it lo…

I don't believe these numbers. Here is a screenshot from my self hosted Matomo installation for my traffic today up until now: https://i.imgur.com/WcfQKdT.png Firefox blocks most a…

9 and 12 boys. They carry dumb phones for calls only (we gave them one when they started going on multi day trips from school or outside of it at age like 6/7). They both have lapt…

Not in the US, but yeah, I may be able to get a phone and an address through some 3rd party service(s), but I'm not sure it's worth the overhead, especially if it's just to pass th…

Yeah for now, I use "Advanced Access" to get the user's email address and pre-fill it so they only need to create a username. Also these email addresses are automatically set verif…

On my service - https://next-episode.net - along with signing in with username and password, there is an option to sign in with Google and Facebook. 3 days ago, I get this email fr…

Just a quick question on your traffic / conversion stats. How come you have (almost) as many conversions as you have leads? How do you count these?

I'm still experimenting different things with it so I can't tell you how exactly I'll end up using it, but yeah, ideally it should go beyond what you mentioned ...

I've made a screenshot of what a users sees once they start the trial: https://i.imgur.com/Hc5taiX.png The most important Premium features are listed there.

Please get in touch through the "contact us" link on the bottom of Next Episode so I can investigate what is happening. There was no recent change affecting the movies list (other …

Yeah, ads (for free users) and Premium membership which removes them and unlock features.

I run https://next-episode.net for about 18 years now. It's a website + mobile apps that help users track what they're watching (TV shows and movies). I wouldn't say trends over th…
