I'm charging money for this seeing as it took me a lot of time to research all of these different topics and put the information into a guide. You can certainly scour the internet for the same information, but I'm aiming to save you time.

There's also community access and discounts available for people who buy the guide, so it's not only a how-to-guide.

Hey HN! OP here. I recently quit my job in big tech, left the US to work on my own online businesses, and decided to make a guide (LeaveTheUS.com) for others trying to do the same thing.

I personally spent about 6 months of effort getting different things in order such as visas, international health insurance and reading through plan docs, tax setup, moving my personal and business residency to an ideal state before leaving, and having something like this would have saved me a lot of time and energy.

Check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks.

Whoops, thanks for letting me know. I tried to create a regular post after seeing your comment, but it keeps redirecting me back to this page probably because the URL is the same. If anyone on the mod team cares to enforce this rule, feel free to delete this post and I'll make another one without the Show HN prefix. Otherwise I'm going to carry on with this one.

Cool! I might be up for that. I'll reach out a bit later.
bakatz91··on Show HN: RM Flags – Automated feature flag maintenance for your codebase
Thanks for the comment! Answering below:

1. At the moment, you'll have to manually type in which feature flags you'd like to remove when you set up the monitoring job. In the future, there will be integrations with popular "feature flag as a service" apps like LaunchDarkly, and they have an API that returns whether or not the flag is rolled out. The idea is to look at the last modified date and if it has been on 100% for a week or more, consider it as "stale" and remove it.

2. Which programming language(s) are you using? The AI model I'm using has been trained on many different code samples and it's generally able to support any programming language. This is similar to how GPT-3.5/4 works.

RE: Using throughout the codebase with different programming languages - no problem. That use case is supported as you can specify file extensions to monitor. i.e. if you have one codebase with js, c#, and ts files you can enter all of those as extensions and RM Flags will clean up all references in those files.

Let me know if this helps!

Hey again _august, just wanted to let you know that I updated the gif to have a bit longer of a delay on the 2nd screen. Would you mind taking a look and letting me know if it's easier to read?

Thanks!

1. I understand what you mean about the gif. I'll try to re-edit it now to take a bit longer on the last frame.

2. For the free tier idea: still considering whether or not I want to do this. On one hand, I know that having a free or open source tier could increase trust. On the other hand, I have recurring expenses related to this and there's already a free trial (but not completely free tier) for all plans. Will have to give this some more thought.

Thanks again for the feedback, I'll update when the gif is fixed

Thank you! I’ve yet to make a sale despite the changes but I’m going to be patient, keep promoting the landing page throughout the week and see if I get any bites.

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I took your feedback seriously and tried to simplify the landing page: https://simpleotp.com - let me know what you think.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback! I'll see if I can simplify this and move a lot of the copy to the GitHub docs page I already have linked (in fact some of it may be duplicate info at this point)
bakatz91··on Show HN: PrintSwarm – crowdsourced 3D printing and local delivery in minutes
1. Faster delivery because it's all local and relies on "last mile" logistics companies for delivery instead of fedex/ups/etc (resulting in a shipping time in minutes instead of days - of course print times vary by 3d model and how complex it is, if supports need to be removed, etc)

2. Should be an order of magnitude cheaper than the big ones. I tried a few test orders on some of the big websites and they were quoting insane prices by default, like $100+ for a very small print of a lightbulb 3d model with slow shipping (around a week of lag time). Those big players are likely all paying for expensive warehouses/office space/employees/etc so that likely jacks up the price, whereas this is more of a distributed approach (using existing real estate that printer owners are already living in)
