Such a nice idea paired with a descriptive and non-click-baity title.
> that allow people to find those similar to them, you are taking away their ability to do so This is what I want. That people find their SO on a natural and unexpected way and not by sticking to their roots and setting…
I always got the best side project ideas when I was working on some other random side project. Once you start to work on an even mediocre side project, just wait and after few days you get so many new ideas coming out…
The whole discussion is not about the guys but YC and if they can back such a business.
Dear Dang, > When you say 'white Christians' you're changing the subject in a particularly trollish wa No, it is not trollish, not at all. It's exactly what they are doing and IDK what is different with my example.…
What you experienced isn't right as well. That people express racial preferences on dating sites is just wrong. Dating providers should hinder such behavior.
As I wrote: It strengthens and enforces typical stereotypes which don't make life easier for the target demo.
I am not happy about such ideas and usually don't use explicit words on HN but this startup is a bit off for a YC startup. It's surprising that a well-known fund invests in such a venture. Why do you want to keep people…
There was a time when people used more and more websites because they were fed up with desktop apps. Hopefully we see the same soon again.
But this is not a problem of Discord but of all group chats. The initial discussion point was that Discord might be insecure because of young hackers building the product.

What? This is where they started and you can also use the product for everything else than gaming. And if you mean the dark theme you can change this to a bright innocent I-am-serious-engineer Slack theme.
> My CI has plugins, and do those have integrations for Discord too? Yes and if not there is a Slack-compatible API, check Discord's API doc. Just try Discord, takes one minute and will know yourself if you like it.…
> Discord's development team has a lot of very young people (no proof, but I'd swear some of them are 13-16 years old) Someone spreading FUD? Everything with Discord feels like a super mature well develoved product.
Onboarding is a millions times easier. With Slack you need for every chat a new login/password and 100 clicks for sign-up, skip tutorial and email-verification, WTH why? Getting users into Discord is one single click.…
Once you tried Discord you wonder why people are still using Slack. Btw, Discord also surpassed Slack in traffic on SimilarWeb.
Anyone who could provide a quick overview/comparison of sites like Teespring, Redbubble, etc from a creator's perspective? Are they reliable? Do they pay in time and for all the sales? Do they hide sales?
I did this recently for the same reason. Do not wait and get a Linux system with i3 tomorrow. You will be so much faster and more structured in your daily workflow than with Alt-Tab. A nice side effect: Apps feel much…
