  1. Ask HN: What's your favorite drop-in replacement?

    What's your favorite drop-in replacement, in any context? Whether it's an admin dashboard, a person, a service to which you started subscribing... anything you "dropped in" as a worthwhile replacement that easily plugs…

  2. Ask HN: What's the no-code equivalent of doing sales and marketing?

    No-code tools give non-technical people the ability to build stuff that normally professional developers would have to build for them. What's the reverse of that: tools for technical people that give them the ability to…

  3. Ask HN: How do you increase your listening speed without losing comprehension?

    I now listen to podcasts at ~2.7x with extreme silence trimming and I can't seem to break past this speed level. I have to slow it down to 2.4x for speakers with even minor less-familiar accents. I'd like to get to a…

  7. Ask HN: Is Stripe's support broken for anybody else?

    I've been implementing a new SaaS with Stripe in recent weeks. Unlike previously, the live chat support no longer has any idea what an API is. When I tell them what errors I'm getting when creating a subscription using…

  8. Stripe charged me $714 for duplicate transactions within seconds

    I just had a client pay $8,200, and they must have hit the submit button over and over. 6 times actually, but luckily their bank blocked all but 3 of the payments. I had to refund 2 of those, and Stripe has charged me…

  9. Ask HN: What's the most valuable thing you can learn in an hour?

    A lot of what hackers do takes years of building knowledge upon knowledge. That's also true for physicists, marketers, salespeople, managers, etc. Are there any quick wins that 30 ~ 60 minutes of intense concentration…

  10. Ask HN: What are the Hacker alternatives for popular services like Twitter/IG?

    I have an affinity for the demographic on Hacker News. Instagram isn't really for my demographic, but is there something HNers use instead? If HN is like Reddit for Hackers, then what's Twitter for Hackers? Any other…
