  10. Ask HN: Is anyone interested in gitapps.com?

    I've unfortunately been squatting on the gitapps.com domain for two years. I originally registered it to create a site to support pluggable git-based web apps, but have sadly never had the time... I'd rather someone did…

  13. HN Petiton: Get Google to support SSL on all of its APIs

    As a security-conscious developer, I have started switching over my apps to be served over only SSL. Whilst this might end up being a costly exercise (e.g. having to proxy images in user generated content), the added…

  23. Ask HN: Have the HN downvoting rules changed recently?

    I just noticed that I can't downvote any more. I've been able to downvote ever since I hit 200+ karma points, so am slightly confused why I can't downvote when I am at 400+. I also noticed that the interface also…

  24. Ask HN: Is anyone still excited by Diaspora?

    I recently got an email saying "I, like the world, saw the diaspora release and thought, erm, is that it?" I realise that none of us were expecting Diaspora to ever displace Facebook, but I was surprised that it's…
