Firstly, great work on the your product. It already looks quite polished!

Could you point out what problems you faced with Flutter? I ask because I'm planning to use it to build an app.

Similar website that was posted a few months ago, for those interested: https://www.mentalmodelsbox.com/

I don't reckon it gets updated much, though.

Counterpart is another great series by Starz. Too bad they canceled it just after two seasons. It's one of the best shows made in the last few years.

Or you can use Netlify connected to a private GitHub repo. I use it for my personal website (hugo blog) and it works flawlessly. CI/CD integrated, so it's just push to deploy.

It's four years old so the page HTML structure must have likely changed. I'll take a look at it when I'm free and update the script. Thanks for your PR, I'll review and merge the two open PRs as well.

Btw, good work on your JS solution. It's great that it just works without requiring any download or installation. :)

That's great! Is there any plan of exposing authenticated content through the API too? Mainly talking about upvoted stories.

I had written a Python script to get saved (upvoted) links as JSON / CSV a few years ago: https://github.com/amjd/HN-Saved-Links-Export

I'm not sure if it still works as it too relied on HTML scraping. Perhaps I should update it to support favorites too.

Edit: Whoa, it's been 4 years already. I believe HN didn't have favorite feature at the time. That's why I used upvoting as my bookmarks system and created a script to export that data.

The same concept applies in the human foot in the form of three arches that allow us to walk and run.

I recently read an article about the role of the tranverse arch on HN, but can't find the link. Here are two others that talk about the same thing:

Have you tried raising a bug on their issue tracker? I had the opposite experience. It was a bit unstable about 3-4 months ago where some websites would make it crash but I haven't faced any crashes in the last few months and it looks close to being a finished product.

They are working on WebExtension support [1] as well as built-in basic ad-blocking [2]. Anyone can follow the progress on their public issue tracker on GitHub.

Firefox Preview supports dark mode for UI. You can switch between light, dark or follow the device theme.

Around the time that Parse (mentioned by sibling) was killed and open sourced, a lot of open source Firebase-like solutions had sprung up, some of which are listed here: https://github.com/relatedcode/ParseAlternatives#open-source...

What did you not like about it? I've been using it for the last few months and found it to be fairly good. I believe it got some significant updates (especially to the video player) recently.

This is one of biggest gripes with Netflix as well. Their percentage rating system just tells how close a title is to stuff you have already watched. The problem with this kind of recommender system is that you stay in a bubble and never see content that is a departure from what you normally watch. Sadly, this is the case with most applications today.

Coming back to the topic, Netflix sorely needs an actual rating system, either like IMDB or something built in-house.

My question wasn't entirely snark. I was genuinely curious if Apple has made it harder to install insecure programs like that. Otherwise, the move just doesn't seem very effective to me.

Have you tested this on High Sierra? If it is a "more secure" operating system like the link mentions, I was under the impression programs like these would be blocked on the system level.

Or Cmd + Shift + Del on macOS. It can't get any faster than this.

Pleasantly surprised to see this launch. I interned at NextDrop a couple of years ago. Anu and the team are a passionate bunch trying to solve one of the biggest problems in a developing country like India. My best wishes to the team. :)

> I feel like there should be a standardised way to ensure users are students/affiliated with an educational institution

There's ISIC (International Student Identity Card) [1], but I don't imagine it's used widely.

Custom subdomains are available for non-paying users too. You just need to create a free account.

This used to be the case, but not anymore. As mentioned in one of the parent comments, there are now cryptocurrencies that provide anonymity as well, check Monero [1] and Zcash [2].

I have personally used this. The speeds are pretty good, and it's easy to start using it.

  1. Enter your mobile number to receive an OTP
  2. Type the OTP.
  3. Connection is established.

I don't understand why some people are being so negative about this. It's a good quality service being offered free of charge. I can imagine a number of scenarios where it can be a life saver to have dependable internet at a railway station.

Not in this case. The entire proposition of slang_time is that it returns human readable time difference with respect to now (i.e., the moment when called).

I can vouch for this. It really helped me when I was getting started with REST APIs.

I haven't used Coursera recently but Udacity still has free courses and anyone can sign up for them. They even keep releasing free courses such as the new Deep Learning course by Google.

Also, I'm taking their Android nanodegree course on a scholarship and I can say that even that uses their existing free courses for teaching purposes and nanodegree mostly just provides you with projects and deadlines.

I bet they still do. I have lost a lot of things to customs, including a camera and a pair of shoes. They conveniently stuffed the package with magazines. I even had to pay exorbitant customs duty (even though it was declared as a gift) on the camera when it was delivered only to find it had been replaced with some magazines.

Hi, I just fixed that error. Can you clone the latest code and try again? If you still have any problems, please create an issue on Github. :)

Hi, can you briefly explain how this works? I didn't find any explanation on the website.

Upvoting a story adds it to your saved links. You can access your saved links here: https://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=<username>

Good work OP! I have been meaning to write a python script to do this for a while now. However, entering the code for each page may soon get tedious. (I have 88 pages of saved links.) I'll probably get down to writing that script anyway and share here when I'm done with it. :)
