Looking at Techmeme, it looks like a simple product. Very well done, yes. It looks like they spend a lot of time curating the news, no doubt assisted by software. But still, a simple product with low barrier of entry.…

Folks, watch out for yourself. In 2016, I got a job offer from Yahoo. The Manager pulls me on a call because he senses that I like a competing offer more - from Google. He also brings his Director on the call. So this…

This is something I’ve been grappling for a while as a software engineer. I used to be very high energy, but after joining a software engineering team at a large company, I felt a lot of peer pressure to be queit and…

I am trying to build a web app with logins. Where should I store those emails. Assuming I store it in a DB, how to sync it to Mailchimp for sending emails to customers? Do I just have to write scripts for this?

I want to support small devshops and bootstrapped companies doing quality work. What are some good indie alternatives to software you have used? I’ll start - I like Fathom analytics - a privacy focused alternative to…

I’ve come across several products that automatically convert Figma designs into code. From what I see, they do a good job of generating React components and CSS from Figma designs. It seems to be that these should be…

I'm studying how developers and designers can work together. I am curious about what sources of friction developers see with the other side (and vice versa). One problem I am seeing is the developer handoff. Often…

Greenhouse and Lever are good but are there any open source alternatives? I need one for my company but I don't want to spend the exorbitant amount and I want some customizations. The existing options don't seem…

For the most part we still use bootstrap templates in code. Why is there nothing visual, like a WYSIWYG editor?

I am currently code bootstrap sites myself, but it feels like a lot of redundant work. Is there a good visual editor I can use to create websites in Bootstrap or other CSS frameworks like Bulma?

Hi HN members, I've been facing this problem recently. As a startup founder, I am managing a lot of Google Sheets. I want to hire a developer to convert it to custom websites but I couldn't find a place I could get it…

I want to start a teaching business. I'm struggling to find good open-source software on which I can start building my platform. The state-of-the-art seems to be Moodle or Canvas which are designed for universities -…

I’ve always wondered, can someone just sniff your keystrokes? I know that many keyboards use AES encryption (for e.g, Apple states so on their site), but that information doesn’t seem to be available for most keyboards.…

Lately, I've started seeing Bitcoin as a fintech startup. It's an open startup. Anyone can invest at any stage. The promise was that it will be the next currency, but since then it's pivoted to (trying to) being a store…

Most research in CS is around AI, Systems and scientific topics, which is great and after all it's computer science so that's how it should be. However, I can't help but wish there was some more structured research…

Hello, I realize that much of the HN crowd is not very pro-Bitcoin. For the record, I'm the same. But being a new user, it makes me wonder if there was ever a time (maybe 2011?) when HN was excited about it?
