  1. Ask HN: Any authors here?

    I was just wondering if any HNers are (fiction) authors, either as their main profession or on the side. I'd be interested to see what people here have written, seeing as how much of what is actually written on the site…

  4. Poll: Can / Should IE be killed?

  6. Ask HN: Examples of this marketing / sales pattern?

    One piece of advice that pops up on HN and elsewhere is that it is easier to sell to companies than to consumers (or that it is easier to sell at a sustainable price, anyway). Assuming that's the case, are there any…

  7. Ask HN: Online database service for collaboration?

    What might a physically distributed team use by way of a database? Something that could, like filemaker or access (or, indeed, any database, but I mention those because they are more usable by less technical users), be…

  8. Ask HN: When to choose a VPS over shared hosting?

    Does anyone have any advice about how to choose whether to go with shared hosting or a VPS? I don't have any experience using a VPS - I'm happy to learn, but I'm concerned I won't be able to ensure the security of the…

  9. Ask HN: Site license problem

    A quick question about license key management for a webapp that's usable by groups (schools) as well as individuals. A school would buy a license for X students. I'd rather just give them one license that all X can use,…

  10. Ask HN: How to get started contributing to open source?

    By my own estimation, I'm at an intermediate level of my preferred language (happens to be python, but not central to what I'm asking): I'm capable of understanding most of what I read, and of writing what I want, but I…

  11. Ask HN: How can I get better at design?

    While for larger projects it makes most sense to partner with a designer, I would like to be able to make my own hobby projects/sites look a bit better (http://vowsjs.org/ is a fantastic example - I wouldn't even know…

  12. Ask HN: Should I use a host in the UK?

    I'm setting up a new site in the near future that will cater almost exclusively to people in the UK. Is there a great advantage to using a host in the UK for this? I imagine there would be an advantage in speed, which…

  13. Ask HN: Do you find this useful?

    I recently wrote this very simple web timer (it lets you put a countdown on any website you want to limit your use of). It's gotten some good reviews on sites like lifehacker. I've seen a lot of really helpful critique…
