it's not just you, people have different preferences and that's fine :D

in my case, I would never sell Benji to anyone else because my life literally depends on it. The business part is hard tho.

After years of building in public, I'm scared that you're right. But the problem is, my app is now live (benji.so), and it's publicly out there for people with VC money to start co…

I 100% agree with you.

author here: for me it was important because after a while the app I was using was stale and wasn't shipping updates anymore. Also, as I was learning more about productivity, I rea…

It's named after my dog Benji haha. Yes you're right, I'm not gonna mention any competitors, especially on a viral HN article :) There's a chance I might make a /comparison page in…

Sorry to hear that. As someone who actually shipped a lot of things, i'm still going through the "I believe in it" and "don't believe in it" cycle almost daily. Don't let that stop…

nah, back when I wrote this article tick tick was a super basic app. I've tried it a few times but it never clicked for me, not enough features.

I did! 2 years ago I launched Benji ( https://benji.so ) (but rewrote it from scratch this time)

It's not made up, I'm not using the competitor app for years, and I didn't want to give them more attention because this space is super competitive.

Author here! I need to update this article. Years later, I actually got motivated by the comments on HN (whenever this gets posted). P People are always like "why don't you just sh…

hey HN! thanks to whoever posted this. An update on this is that Sizzy is still going strong! Lately I've been super busy with building [Benji]( https://benji.so ) which is a Life …

lmao if you see the amount of time I spend on reddit and twitter you'd revoke that statement

it's been 4 years since I wrote this ??? I feel old

I'm excited to announce the launch of showGPT, a new community for sharing all things chatGPT. showGPT allows you to: easily share prompts and examples of conversations that you ha…

Hey everyone! Creator of Sizzy here. I’d appreciate if before you reach conlcusions of the functionality of Sizzy you check out the landing page (sizzy.co) or the changelog page (s…

Even though it doesn’t simulate multiple engines, it simulates resolution, pixel ratio, user agent string, browser UI, OS UI, device frame etc. So it gives you a much more accurate…

Sizzy started as an extension, but the extensions API is not powerful enough for all the stuff that we’re doing. Please check out what Sizzy can do before you say “this feature”, b…

Yup, I wrote about it here: https://kitze.io/posts/github-stars-wont-pay-your-rent Now that Sizzy is a company, we can put more time and money into the product. We ship an alpha ve…

Creator of Sizzy here. Please don’t say equivalent because we have at least 50 features that differentiate us from any other “alternative” out there. Unlike the others, Sizzy is ac…

The author here. If you look at the contributions, the only ones were a change to the readme, adding prettier and git hooks for linting, fixing typos, and few CSS one-liners. If th…

Hey, author here. I'm using WebStorm with Material theme.

I tried Scaphold because all of the shiny promises on their landing page like: out of the box integrations, analytics etc. Turns out the most basic feature of a BaaS app, the conso…
