Ask HN: What are you building this weekend? • Hacker News Board

Just launched the first all-out sale of my content booklets 2020/1, which is already stirring the pot a bit! From ramen profitability, (hopefully) to the budget for a different side project I am planning for 2022. Get them while it lasts and help me spam HN again next year (pun intended, ehehe)! On a more serious note, I am willing to see how time-resistant is the content I put forward in the last 18 months, and if slashing the price, some can get a bit of traction on its own.

An app with a recommender system for Jokes. Swipe up means funny, swipe down means not funny. Then you see the next recommended joke.

5 posters on hackernews walk into a thread...

...and they downvote each other.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’ve never used Linode or OVH (I’m mainly using DigitalOcean) - interested to hear why you’re moving from Linode and why you chose OVH?

Price, mainly. At the point when I decided to switch, OVH simply offered more "bang for the buck" than Linode.

Thanks!

Very interesting project! I’ll link it for you [0] since you were too polite to!

Do you have any purchase options aside from Kindle? (Or is this something you’d consider in the future?) I’d quite like something like this in PDF form really (or perhaps Apple Books, or even print form!)

I would imagine that any potential piracy issues from being in a more open format would be relatively minimal for your intended audience (but maybe I’m being optimistic??)

Also the very nature of your content feels like it should be in a more technology-agnostic form to me, but I totally get the trade offs here.

It's an API + noCode tool to generate images on the fly.

Pass css like design and data into query string and get an image returns.
