Between Kagi and Perplexity AI, I haven't bothered with Google search in over a year and I don't miss it at all. I'm wondering if other HN users are using Google search, and if not, which alternatives are you using?

I'm coming from Mac with Fantastical installed. With that I could quickly add an event to my calendar by opening Fantastical's quick add menu (a single click in the mac menubar, or a keyboard shortcut) and typing a…

This is a bit of a broad question, but I've run into it several times, so I'm curious how other HNers handle it. The scenario is pretty simple: You're using some mainstream service, let's say Facebook, Discord, Tinder,…

I am a web app developer (Node, Python, PHP, Ruby) with no native app development experience. I want to make an app that consists of user submitted text-only "flashcards" that can be up/down voted, commented on, tagged,…

I'm using Cloudflare to handle DNS for my portfolio website (just a few static pages generated with Gatsby). I rarely advertise my website, and unless I'm job searching, I don't even share the link anywhere. I expect to…
