I find this list to be way more interesting. Thanks!

You can already do that with Figma (which I highly recommend).

This is a great way of explaining this. I've been without social media for about 1.5 months now. I've noticed the urge to capture an experience for social a few times, even though I've spoken against it in the past. I'm actually happier without it.

I'm actually excited to see how this project turns out. I used to play these little text RPGs on my dad's Blackberry, and this kind of reminds me of those. I'd love to see a full game of this.

Didn't realize there was a book. I'll remember to steer clear. The book was fantastic. I remember after reading that it felt a little far-fetched, but enjoyable. That was over a year ago, and I'm finding it to be more and more accurate.

I don't believe that's the point he's making here. He's saying that he was annoyed that the iPhone 7 doesn't have a headphone jack, but after an accident (while using an adapter with the iPhone 7), he's convinced that wireless headphones are the best option, regardless of the device having a headphone jack or not.

> But I really liked the way that they are containing it.

Please let this be sarcasm...

> They are communicating it to their customers transparently.

They knew well in advance that there was an issue and did not communicate it well. They have 3 higher managers that look to have sold their stock based on the knowledge. There are some reports that they knew up to 3 months ahead of their announcement.

> They launched a specific site for security scans for their user for free.

Things that are wrong with this site:

- The site screams "phishing" when you look at the URL.

- Asks for SIX digits of your SSN. If you know the state of the person filling out the form and they were issued their SSN before 2011, you only need to try a few numbers to figure out their whole SSN.

- Gives random results when you fill out the form

- You possibly forfeit being able to sue them by filling out the form.

- When you fill out the form they basically advertise their own product to you.

At this point, as a consumer, it feels like they are doing everything in their power to get away with not being held accountable for not storing this data properly.

8 in 10 US credit card holders have their SSN and possibly other information out there. This means that I'm at high risk to have my identity stolen in the future, not just the next twelve months that Equifax is offering me free Identity Theft Protection.

Last but not least, when you freeze your credit score, they give you a PIN to unfreeze it. But if you were to lose it, you'll only need some identification to get a new PIN and unfreeze it. But they've already released that identification and it's being sold around. So no luck there.

Yes, but it can be time-consuming.

As with many things in this article, I disagree with their statement on cereal very much. I would rather spend my money on better foods for my children than the processed, sugar-filled, expensive "cereals" that are marketed as "healthy". I prefer the actual term for [cereal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal) and we try to stick to that mixed with yogurt and fruits.

Possibly communicated through other channels as well like Signal or Whatsapp.

That O'Reilly GNN site is beautiful. I miss this simplicity.

Haven't seen this one before. That's an interesting idea. I might try this out.

Interesting. Thanks!

Just curious, what's the copyright on this kind of material?

As a full-time employee, husband and parent of 4 children, I love this idea. Currently, buying games is a huge time risk for me. There's a very large chance I won't ever play it. However, paying only $5/month and being able to try a game out with no strings attached (psychologically) is a really nice idea.

Yeah, I think the project is really cool, and I wouldn't mind building one for fun, but that little Teaser page really turned me off.

I would also love to hear advice. I'm looking at starting a service soon, and I really love the way that Maciej handles things. One man show that built a service for himself, has grown it organically and seems to enjoy working on it still.

Although very fun. It also grabs way more data as time goes on. And it's a pretty interesting little art project.

That's good to know. I've stayed away from them because I thought they might be bad ports or something.

Surprisingly there's one in here that I'm already starting to work on. That at least confirms to me that I'm not THE sole person who wants this service. Applied. I'm interested to see how this process works.

This is what I want. I've been wanting to build something like this for a long time. Something where I own my data. I can back it up and if my laptop gets stolen, I just import my data on a new machine and we're good to go.

The challenges that I see: - Making it easy for any user to get up and running. - De-authenticating old devices. - Making it available from any mobile device.

I've been using TurboTax for years, and I think I'm ready to move on if they are going to continue lobbying. What are some other alternatives? I don't mind paying, but I want to make sure it's a service people trust.

Damn. And I already filed my taxes. Maybe I'll use this next year.

It's completely fine! I jumped the gun :)

EDIT: It's also a really pretty site btw. I love the simplicity of it.

Well I wish I had read this before submitting mine. lol. I didn't realize it focused on tech podcasts. It might be a good idea to have a description of that somewhere on the site so that people understand that it's just for tech podcasts.

I was getting frustrated with AllMusic, Metacritic and Spotify excluding new music releases, or giving wrong dates for new music. So I built something for my friend and I to use for finding new releases.

It uses MusicBrainz for the data and then cross references Spotify and Bandcamp for links, album artwork and genre data. Built on Django. It was a fun little side project that I use every week now.

It basically creates a hierarchy. Similar to folder structure. So you could have a general Programming tag, that would show you anything tagged in Programming/, but you could look at just the Python tags inside Programming by going to Programming/Python.

This is awesome! So much fun to watch these shortcuts.

This was what I wanted to know coming over to the comments. This is really interesting to hear. I'm always curious when I see these websites if these tools are created by well-intentioned people that don't know the industry, or actual workers in that industry. I'll have to send this a long to my farmer friends.

Well, first of all, Twitter bought Vine. So they did no innovation on that front. Secondly, I think it makes sense from a business standpoint for Twitter because they've incorporated it into Twitter, and they NEED to start making a profit and this will help. Twitter stock may actually rise a bit due to this news.
