https://oneminutefax.com - Send free faxes online without having to create an account. Proof-of-concept is up.
Please don't! Efax owns patent for sending faxes online and they troll/bully other website into sometimes buying them out sometimes shutting them down. There is 99% chances you will receive their C&D letter :(
It's an Ohm-inspired packrat parser for Emacs. It's cool because it uses the packrat cache to allow efficient incremental repairs, so your 20k line buffer doesn't have to be completely reparsed just because you added a one line function in line 7
I'm building https://timeguard.io , which is an iOS app that acts like HN's "noprocrast" setting but for the entire internet. You pick distracting sites/apps to block, and then you choose when to pause the block and access them. I've found that little extra bit of friction in checking FB/HN/Twitter is enough to keep me far more concentrated and present throughout the day. Would love feedback from other HN users!
For me, the killer feature for this type of tool would be a blanket anti-procrastination mode that works across all devices. Maybe it could even make sense to integrate somehow at the router level?
Also updates every Monday, rated T+, and published through Hiveworks which is a neat indie publisher that probably hosts that other webcomic you love.

Can be incredibly demanding, but creating your own stories is almost always worth it.

It grabs what I've read from Pocket and makes a page for each week.
It's cool because what I read is better than what I can write, and I think this is true for others. I've got loads of ideas for it, it's going to be massive, as long as HN like it.
I just redesigned what an offer letter looks like. [1] I think it's cool for a few different reasons: (1) most people don't truly understand the value behind an offer from a startup. Equity for example is tricky for newcomers. (2) Most companies don't share this information unless you push them on it. I wish more companies would be transparent about it, and I think doing this will help. Here's a demo: https://coinbas…
I am working on my own startup (since 12 months, but we incorporated only in August 2017). I am not here to publicize what we are doing, but rather to share a very important consideration. I used to work at Amazon Web Services (6 years), then VMware (2 years), then at a startup as an early employee/CTO (1 year). My job satisfaction decreased at every step. I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to work on something t…
