I really like this. It’s respectful of people’s wishes to not be added to any random site, and at the same time the way to give consent advertises the service.

Ethical and effective business practice? Yes, please. If only all things posted to HN were like this.

PS: It says something about my disillusionment with most software projects these days that I have nothing but praise to give to this one, yet all the while I can’t shake the feeling of “I hope I don’t regret those words”. Anyway, that’s a “me” problem. Congratulations on the launch, and best of luck.

Does this not work with upper case letters? I only get "Internal Server Error 34".

Yikes you're right. I need to come up with a way to solve that. Maybe a param or path to lock in the username like abc.at.hn/Abc ... I'll have a go. EDIT: for now I'm tired and off to bed but if someone has a graceful/simple way to handle the non-lowercase usernames, please come forward.

Nice project, just wanted to mention that Ducky looks like he has quite a personality! Btw what do you mean by > Note: Outgoing links are rel=nofollow unless you're >200 karma (anti spam)? I guess the links aren't hyperlinked or something?

nofollow is basically just a hint to search engines that site A doesn't necessarily endorse site B by linking to it

> nofollow is a setting on a web page hyperlink that directs search engines not to use the link for page ranking calculations.

There seems to be some weird encoding issues and failure to convert URLs to links properly, for my profile - https://mike-cardwell.at.hn/ - Also, some of the indenting and white space is broken making the PGP signature invalid

Whoops. Yeh I'm working on the encoding thing atm. Thank you for flagging! EDIT: I'm relying on the 'marked' npm package for markdown and it is handling the linkification of URLs, sometimes badly. Shall work on it.
