Cool, but I’m sad that a picture of my “workstation” is basically just a Thinkpad.
Pfff, amateur. My "workstation" is just an iPad.
This would still be cool to upload imo :)

#82Please tell me you're stripping EXIF tags from all images; otherwise this is just a "rob these people now" list.
There is nothing extraordinary though, especially for HN crowd.

#83I wish something like this exists for UI or work bench setup. How people work with different screens and how editor or other tools setup

The computer itself isn't the only interesting part of a workstation setup, your desk layout can be pretty interesting too

I'm not, I completely overlooked this :/ I'm adding this to the upload form now and I guess will have to go through and manually remove everyones exif data. Thanks for raising this.
Can't you just script the removal with something like the tools mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2654281/how-to-remove-ex... ?

#86Suggestion: a) let the user add their commentary and b) get folks to mention which chair, too. Some of us invest in ergonomic chairs, and those who don't would benefit from opinions on which chairs are good For what it's worth, I got this chair recently (a Torch Iris Gold) in Hong Kong, and found it incredible value for money, at least compared to a Herman Miller Aeron, Mirra etc; : it has a bunch of adjustments that…
Indeed. Added my setup just now, comments (and votes) would make this much more interesting.
Also please fix scrolling in the submission form on mobile (iOS) with the -webkit-overflow-scrolling CSS property.

#87I am a bit surprised there is no vertical multi-monitor setup there yet. I have my 2nd monitor above my first since a few years now and I don't want to go back to the traditional horizontal layout.
The only thing I might change is adding more monitors or increasing sizes, but that isn't really a priority as I tend to have enough space most of the time.
However, I love the idea, of this site as the photos offer a better impression of the work experience in those places (e.g. compared to usesthis.com).

First image I checked for this, full EXIF data is intact, including GPS data.
Kinda surprising, as many web-applications forget to add that meta-data after e.g. resizing photos. Still, not a good idea to upload pictures with GPS data to an online service (unintentionally).

#89If anyone's really into "setups", I'd highly recommend checking out usesthis.com. There's some great discussion on why people like certain tools, and some high-profile people on there from all walks of tech life (writers, podcasters, musicians, mechanical engineers). Here's a few of my favorites: Aaron Schwartz: https://usesthis.com/interviews/aaron.swartz/ Mike Hoye (Mozilla): https://usesthis.com/interviews/mhoye/…
Thanks!

iOS includes it by default.
