danr4··on Scammed out of $130K via fake Google call, spoofed Google email and auth sync
the biggest mistake was thinking google actually provides customer support

danr4··on Tell HN: I underestimated how lonely building solo can be
When I was a solo founder I tried to solve it with solocity.net, but didn't get enough people to sign up
danr4··on Developing with Kiro: Amazon's New Agentic IDE
Crtl + F -> "Claude Code" -> No Results -> Close tab

Can't really get value out reading this if you don't compare it to the leading coding agent

danr4··on Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business
kudos!
danr4··on Base44 sells to Wix for $80M cash
Coming from someone who doesn't really love the product.. nor wix. but the snark in the comments is insane.

Basically everyone in the israeli tech community know about this guy because he pretty much shared everything about his journey from the moment he started. One of the most genuine and no-bs entrepreneurs i've ever seen (and israel has it's fair share of grifters).

Yes, he really did basically built everything by himself. Yes, he did manage to build a huge client list worth a lot of money, in just 6 months. Yes, he was previously a founder (without an exit). Yes, there were a few (very recently hired) employees.

This is one of the rarest solo-founder exit stories in the world. dumb-founded by negativity.

replace "AI" with "Internet" in this article and this reads like a dumb post from 1994

danr4··on Posthog – open-source analytics and UX research tool
yeah it's been a while since I ran it, might have changed course (wouldn't surprise me)
danr4··on Posthog – open-source analytics and UX research tool
That’s a pet peeve of mine so I’ll chime in.

I’ve actually used it self hosted pretty much since posthog launched and moved to their cloud after a couple years. Our product blew up and it was difficult to scale, as well as a few hosted only features that we needed (by then we raised and could afford it).

I also contributed code (and got some swag) which was promptly merged.

They’ve also open sourced how they run the company and onboarding (similar to GitLab).

All in all I think posthog is one of the most balanced open source product in the market, in terms of the easiness of self hosting, the feature set, the engineering culture, openness and business model.

If you don’t have a lot of traffic self hosted is excellent and can take you very far.

danr4··on Distributed SQLite: Paradigm shift or hype?
I believe this is what one of the companies mentioned in the article, Turso, can help you do. a per-tenant database.
danr4··on Show HN: Struct – A Feed-Centric Chat Platform
Looks great, but hard to make the swap from slack without apps/bots/api. I'm sure you thought about it, but a slack-compatible bot api will probably really help with adoption.

looks great. currently using Charmstone on my mac, can't imagine life without it.

danr4··on Bazzite – a SteamOS-like OCI image for desktop, living room, and handheld PCs
Piracy is super evil and I would never and have never pirated anything in my life. but I do know that Stremio + Torrentio + RealDebrid takes at max 30 minutes to set up and for a few bucks you can essentially stream everything in higher quality than most streaming platforms, it works great on a google tv chromecast (a friend told me).
danr4··on Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S) Internet Service: RFC 9330
I just hope they pronounce it "L-Force"
danr4··on StyleX – Meta's styling library
Excited to explore just for the sake of alleviating “styling at a distance” pains
