This post made me look through the pages of Goodnight Moon, and I noticed that on top of the bookshelf on the left side of the room is a book titled The Runaway Bunny. All of the o…

Thanks. Played the hell out of JK2 when I was 12-13ish. Loved the old zone.com multi-player matchmaking. Sabers only, no force, of course. There was a site (cannot remember name) t…

Ha, this post provided around 620 unique visitors yesterday. I had 1 visitor (who was probably me) the day before, so that's a nice bump from HN :) It will be interesting to see ho…

I simply highlight/mention it in a cover letter when I apply to a job. To your point though, the 30-40% number is pure gut-feeling, I've certainly done no proper study to arrive at…

Steal away, but the credit goes to https://github.com/AWEEKJ/Kiko-plus as I am just using his Jekyll theme.

Yes, this is it. It's very early-stages/preview-mode as I haven't quite nailed down the exact architecture I want for the client but it has helped a lot as far as job searching goe…

Even if you aren't using it to become attractive for recruiters, this will probably happen. I went from rarely (like, extremely) getting callbacks for remote gigs to getting around…

kristopolous' console script is a godsend. But, sometimes I like to just search for keywords without filtering others out. Ctrl+f does the job but has issues such as losing my plac…

Thanks man, really appreciate your thoughts. I've put it on a Show HN before, but as it's tough to get off the New page, got discouraged and kinda gave up on getting it traction. :…

Ha, cool. I am actually in the process of writing up a blogpost on building an SPA w/ React/Redux/Node/Postgres/GraphQL front-to-back in hopes of getting some traction. :) The netw…

Wow. This thread is blowing my mind. I'm a js fullstacker who is moving to Europe within two weeks and and I'm having trouble even getting replies to job postings when I offer a ra…

Nope, it does not work for me anymore. So I was inspired by it and made another that does mostly the same. It also removes nonmatching posts and highlights matching terms. https://…

Yep, mine never made it to the front of ApplyHN either. It seemed like unless it got at least one or two immediate upvotes, it disappeared into the abyss, thus making it even less …

Seconded. Additionally, I'd love to see a distribution of comments/upvotes by date of submission (such data I think could be gleaned from HN search). My eyeballs tell me posts subm…

Exactly. There was a time when I didn't want to do point-and-click at all because it is very limited, like you say. But, it might be the spark needed to get someone to try it initi…

Point-and-click is definitely THE next technical milestone. And I think it's essential, because right now I have a bit of a conflicting message to QA analysts: stop fumbling with w…

Thank you! By standing up, I simply mean getting to a place where your team is taking full advantage of web automation scripting. "Implementing" is probably the better word there. …

I want to disrupt the web automation & testing space by making it more accessible to QA teams who might not have the technical knowledge to stand up heavier solutions. I built a ne…

Definitely agree on the "tests in the repo" critique. That is a tough one, and a kink I've experienced as well. Some ideas I've had are webhooks to pull tests from a repo, but that…

Hey HN, I built TestBeacon, a platform for writing web UI automations (think Selenium/iMacros) without ever leaving the browser. No native drivers or extensions to install (althoug…

Hey HN, I wanted to show and get feedback on TestBeacon (https://testbeacon.com/), a project I've been working on for about a year and a half. TestBeacon allows users to write auto…
