HomebrewCC··on Thanks HN: You helped save a company that now helps thousands make a living
Well, thank you! I still remember seeing the Webflow CSS Playground for the first time. I am a happy customer ever since. It really helped kickstarting my career as a digital strategist.
HomebrewCC··on Vanmoof S3 E-bike Review
They weigh 19kg. Their range varies from 60km to 150km. Based on my commute, I would have to carry this bike upstairs about once or twice a week. That just seems highly impractical to me.

Pros: The design and price. This bike would significantly improve my commute and lower my transportation costs.

Cons: Carrying a 19kg (22lbs) e-bike upstairs to my 1st floor (2nd floor) apartment a few times a week to charge it.

HomebrewCC··on Show HN: PitchXO – Track your pitches
I'm really loving the idea and want to propose this to our board of directors, but this won't stand a chance without a trial. Without a trial, the price is a huge setback. And even then the price is pretty steep.

From a communication perspective, this is a great move.

As JoeAcchino said: "The guy pictured in the photo is Richard Branson, aka the boss at Virgin. Just search his name on Google Images to get the humor.

HomebrewCC··on Teenagers say goodbye to Facebook and hello to messenger apps
Somehow I'm still quite sceptical about this. No one actually has the statistics from Facebook's side to back this.
