iag··on Show HN: Flowbite – Tailwind CSS Components Library
Got it.

So DaisyUI is more for weekend projects where devs themselves own the design.

Whereas Flowbite is meant more for working with a real designer and easily translate the professional design into tailwind-based code.

Cool. Thanks!

I've been using DaisyUI which seems similar to this.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on Flowbite vs DaisyUI. Is it worth the switch?

I love these tools but before I invest more of my time leveraging this in my workflow I'd want to know that it'll be around for another few months at least...

iag··on Ask HN: Could company force departing co-founder to sign non-compete?
Really appreciate your comment! Very helpful.
iag··on Ask HN: Could company force departing co-founder to sign non-compete?
They are withholding my investment into the company, and my equity. They are also threatening to sue me in the US even though this is a non-US company.

I think they are bluffing, but I just want to double check.

iag··on Ask HN: Could company force departing co-founder to sign non-compete?
The parent company is based out of HK, but the operating company is based in Philippines.

My co-founder threatened to sue me in the US as I am a US citizen.

Funny enough, if I recall correctly, my home state California has one of the weakest non-compete law.

iag··on Three biggest Internet companies in each country
I am glad The Economist did the datab visualization in log scale. Otherwise, US and China would be so dominant rest of the countries would be impossible to see.

Very cool data indeed.

Please don't kill O-Moby yahoo!!! It is the coolest thing that I show young people to aspire them.
iag··on Dell to Sell Itself for $24.4 Billion
I can't be more excited by this news. Michael Dell is in a pretty unique position to do something innovative in the PC industry.

Remember when Dell told Steve Jobs that he should close shop? http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-203937.html

Your turn, Michael.

Let's see if you can turn Dell around like the way Steve Jobs turned Apple around!

iag··on World Startup Report: a Mission to Document Startup Ecosystems in 29 Countries
I polled my 500Startups network to see which countries they were interested in and had contacts in, then narrowed down the list to a manageable size.

Which cities did you think I missed?

iag··on World Startup Report: a Mission to Document Startup Ecosystems in 29 Countries
Bowei here. I just want to say major thanks to 500 Startups, StartupWeekend, StartupDigest, Dave McClure and Brad Feld for making this all happen!

Wow that's amazing. #1 news on HN already? This is pretty cool.
iag··on What’s Up With Whatsapp? Facebook Might Want To Buy It, That’s What

Pg, can you elaborate on this a bit?

iag··on CardMunch CEO uses Flightfox for 29-Country Startup Trip
I think the cheapest was $7,500 for economy, and business class for $16,000.

That is still amazing consider when I book business class flights on my own, it's usually $3-4k per round trip.

iag··on CardMunch CEO uses Flightfox for 29-Country Startup Trip
From my quick survey, it took them between 20-30 hours of work to build my itineraries for me.

So by a rough estimate, I saved hundreds of hours by running this contest rather than doing everything myself.

Pretty amazing stuff, I think I will make Tim Ferris proud.

Finders fee was $500, but I added a few bonus prizes for fun you can read about it here: http://flightfox.com/contest/36810

Yes, I considered doing a RTW ticket. It was way more expensive ($20k min vs. $7500 cheapest itinerary from the experts). The price differences were astonishing.

iag··on CardMunch CEO uses Flightfox for 29-Country Startup Trip
Yep that is correct. For simple trips you can just use Kayak, but as soon as you start to deal with multi-hop, points purchase and all sort of crazy tricks, you need a service like FlightFox.

Bowei here.

I just want to give a huge shoutout to FlightFox co-founder Lauren. She's been absolutely amazing to work with.

Early stage startups, please take note. This is how you get loyal first customers. You treat people like VIP and make sure they're taken care of.

Thanks Lauren!

iag··on How I Plan to Bootstrap Aspiring Hardware Engineers
Wow, props to you Mike for actually curating all of your iPhone engineering knowledge and share it with rest of us.

A few questions for you. - How hard was it for you to pick everything up and build the iPhone from scratch? - What do you suggest we do to get access to the equipments in some of these articles? It's pretty out of most people's price range.

Thanks again! This is awesome.
