Kind of feel like saying that HN didn't/did love those projects is a bit too black and white. Many of those submissions do have a lot of dismissive comments, but lots of them also have a lot of comments praising the project one or another way, explicitly or implicitly. Some of the highlighted comments also aren't even the top 3 comments, yet they're used as indicative of what the HN community loves or not. But I gues…
the autoscroll is killing me. I can't really read the "what happened" blurb at the end. I guess my phone is too narrow
The entire site (including page margins) being a link to HN is an annoyance edit: also, the autoscroll thing The Tailwind CSS complaints aren't wrong even today; any time I want to apply a Stylus CSS to fix someone's janky site---particularly, weekly offers from area grocery stores, where I fix it once or twice and enjoy a much better UI for a year or two---and then all I see is class="rounded-lg shadow-primary-400 m…
Not just Tailwind; most of the listed criticism are still valid and relevant, even after those products had success.
Whoever made this has a massive chip on their shoulder.
The funny thing is a lot of the criticism of Dropbox ended up being true. Dropbox wasn’t a massive money generator, and every tech company replicated it as a value add to their existing ecosystem rather than being much of a product itself.
“I don’t find their actual search engine very useful at all.” (me in 2009) I'm quoted on here so I thought I should give an update! :-) I still don't think DDG was very useful in 2009. A noble idea, but the quality wasn't there for the searches I did. In the past several years, I've found it to give Google a good run for its money, both through DDG's index getting better and Google's getting worse. I'm delighted they…
I understand why the results are worse but that doesn't really matter to the general populace.
I wish them the best though. We need search market fragmentation.

Same, I tried DDG a bunch of times over the years, maybe once every 2 years or so, but never got to the point where it felt it could replace Google. Tried Kagi when it launched, and I'm not sure if it was because Google had deteriorated so much at that point, or Kagi was simply better, but I got way better results in Kagi, and still do. Kagi ended up being what I thought DDG was aiming for, but was never able to reac…
Just read the “outcome” for Warp:
