Are there publicly available domain blacklists? I am curious on you would implement such a thing. Would you care to share?
Well, I am looking for this type of tool since this morning ^^ I found several BL, mostly for email spam protection but: http://uribl.com/ https://www.spamhaus.org/ The difficulty is to found how to work with the database and check each URI. I found some packages on npm like this one : https://www.npmjs.com/package/dnsbl-lookup But I have to test it thoroughly before putting it into production.
I found this one (just by googling, no reference): https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.B...

Hmmmm this is weird, the metadata scrapper seems to have issue with twitter, it seems to work fine with any other websites I tried...
I'll check asap and try to fix it :) Thanks for the report

#55Hello HN :) For the record, I learned how to code less than 2 years ago, next to my full time job. I rarely have the time to complete a side project, so I challenged myself to make a functional website in a weekend. The idea was simple, to be able to create a short URL to share a list of websites. It's not revolutionary, but I was surprised not to find more sites to do that. Bit.ly had such a system a few years ago c…
Really nice project! I love that you built and launched something over the weekend. I remember how liberating the feeling was when I realized I could make some corner of the Internet my own. Also minor suggestion - I might list a couple more examples with links or make the link more prominent, as my eye didn't immediately catch the "see an example" button. The overall UI is fantastic.
Thank you for your feedback! Yep you're right the link is a little bit small and users can easily miss it, I'll try to find a better solution!

Awesome first project; if you need those other features you mentioned you could just use pastebin.com iirc

This looks perfect for remote learning. Teachers typically have a bunch of resources that they want to use for the class they're teaching, and sometimes their link is going to be in printed material that the student will have to type in. This seems like a nice solution to that problem. Currently I use bit.ly for this, but it means generating lots of links. What is helpful on bit.ly is the bookmarklet. Being able to a…
This is something I didn't think about but you're absolutely right. I need to find a solution to edit the list. In your example, if a teacher want to add something in the middle of the year or update a website, it would be useful. If I don't want to add an authentication system, maybe with a token...

Wow thank you, seems awesome!!!

#59Another great example of how miniature personal directories are experiencing a comeback. * https://tray.club - like this, but allows subpages and notes areas. * https://gossipsweb.net - pay $1 to be in this directory ('cozy web'-type vibe) * https://terra.finzdani.net - personal directory * https://marijn.uk/linkroll/ - another one * https://href.cool/ - mine But I love the simplicity of Multy - dump your links and c…
This is an obvious subtle example of thread high jacking, masquerading as a helpful comment, but aimed at getting traffic to your website. Should be against the rules. I don’t have the ability to report, hence posting here
I agree that I'm stretching it here - personal directories are my personal niche and definitely something that I'm seeing everywhere - even in this little link-sharing tool.
But I figure that I'll put the thought out there and people can agree or disagree. Glad for you to voice your disagreement - I may need to tone it down.

It’s a fine line and I apologize if I was being harsh.
I’m not speaking for the original author, but from my own experience, getting to the front page of HN is very difficult, and I’ve noticed a fair few people (not blaming you) who have been advertising their own products on somebody else’s post.
It’s sort of like gaming the system. It’s not fair to the original author since the conversation can get sidetracked from his project to the project being linked.
It’s like jumping the queue. Actually I am not blameless here, I inadvertently did the same until I realized what I was doing was wrong —- it’s not something I think comes readily to the mind of the normal reader, but for any of those looking to promote it becomes obvious.
Again it’s a fine line. It’s an issue with HN having a large audience, no ads and a relatively cheap (well basically free) way to advertise ones work. Same thing happens with reddit; and now I have heard that some of moderators there are taking kickbacks by allowing / disallowing certain posts.
