my name's Muhammad Usman, let me tell you, there are 1000s of us out there if not more. It's very hard to get a username without numbers on any site except somehow I got it on HN :D
moving off of Ghost to an astro blog b/c I don't write often enough to justify a $110/year fee and I also found out there's no way to moderate spam comments.
kinda off topic but since you're an expert here: what do people do with these uncut sheets? Is it mainly for collectors?
also, my favorite form of getting currency is $2 bills in a 100 stack (so $200) from the bank. I used to use these for gift money on holidays :) but unfortunately my credit union doesn't order new stacks anymore, just jumbled up old $2 bills now.
I'm happy with my mix of Urdu + English accent, I got an 80% on Urdu which seems about right. I am impressed by this and now I'd like to hear others and how well it matches their voice. Although, I don't need coaching or anything to remove my accent, it makes me me.
Don't use the term "hunt" in the name, to me it just screams "dupe" instead of something unique. Go the route of improving what PH has and adding things that are missing.
Some ideas:
- Users should be able to update their post to some extent.
- There's no "product page" in your app, build something where I can see people commenting, reacting, and maybe even sharing their own screenshots of it because that's something PH does pretty well but can be improved.
- "LAUNCHES WORTH YOUR SCROLL" sounds kinda cringe, change to something like "Find the next best thing" or make it random on load and have a few less in your face versions of it. Reddit has "homepage of the internet" which seems appropriate. You can have "have you launched yet?", "find the next best thing", "what's trending today"...etc
I have more ideas, feel free to message me or drop a way to contact you if you'd like more feedback :)

I started paying for Obsidian last month, it was on my annual cancel vs subscribe list [1], I've been happy using Obsidian for almost a year now and paying for Sync was a nice way to enhance my usage and support the team.
YES! thank you for doing this, I have been curious about some of the stuff I buy often and I felt like over the last year or two, things have climbed in prices a lot compared to the normal inflation price hikes.
As someone who can’t seem to post on any of the bad platforms mentioned but I find it seemingly freeing to post on my blog. I have the opposite issue, I want my blog to be read by those interested in the content and not by those who happen to be my friends. Because my writing is very different than what gets posted on Twitter/IG/Tiktok. And maybe because I find that my blog posts are sort of just personal journal entries over status updates with rich details like photos etc.
Your comment convinced me to try Notion’s calendar but then when I went to add calendars, I’m only able to use a Google account, bummer. I have a Fastmail and an iCloud calendar which I’m guessing will come later to Notion.
This looks a lot like the default macOS calendar app, enough that I went back to Calendar.app and added back my calendars and now I'm using it again. Someone else mentioned no offline support which is a big thing for me, I like to clean up my calendar and other "productivity" related areas like Reminders, Notes, etc while I'm on long flights which often don't have internet access.
I was one of the users that went and reported this issue on Discord. I love Kagi but I was a bit disappointed to see that their status page showed everything was up and running. I think that made me a bit uneasy and it shows their status pages are not given priority during incidents that are affecting real users. I hope in the future the status page is accurately updated.
In the past, services I heavily rely on (e.g. Github), have updated their status pages immediately and this allows me to rest assured that people are aware of the issue and it's not an issue with my devices. When this happened with Kagi, I was looking up the nearest grocery stores open since we were getting snow later that day so it was almost like I got let down b/c I had to go to Google for this.
I will continue using Kagi b/c 99.9% of the other time I've used it, it has been better than Google but I hope the authors of the post-mortem do mean it when they say they'll be moving their status page code to a different service/platform.
And thanks again Zac for being transparent and writing this up. This is part of good engineering!
I've built projects using React, Vue, and Svelte in the last year. All 3 are great in their own lane. React is a great starting point for larger teams to add on things to and it does start to be come its own beast within large teams.
For Vue, I think it's in the middle for me, it can be used by teams and can be used by solo devs and it seems to follow some very good practices. This I would take away from React only for the reason that each major version introduces some new concept that flips things on its head and I have feel like each new react project doesn't feel like an older one I worked on 2-3 years ago, and in some cases, not for the better.
Regarding Svelte, I wish I used it more. I built a project [1] that took me almost no time except fiddling around with github actions to get it up and running and it felt so naturally close to html/js when building, I was hardly looking up documentation or tutorials. Adding new features to it felt even more fun.
I've mainly stuck with React because of the large ecosystem but in 2024, it feels like once you find a good starting point with any of these, you should be able to build most apps with it.
Another thing to not shy away from is seeing that most large projects use React as an example, you can use something like ChatGPT to convert a react snippet to a vue or svelte snippet.
Start with your most used devices, I'm guessing your phone and your main computer. Then the others will slowly follow. Once I switched my phone's default search to Kagi, it made a huge difference because I search a lot more while being on the go and being able to get good, no-spam, no-ads filled search results can be an amazing experience.
