Thanks for the answer!

I've been waiting impatiently for a better Swift backend ecosystem, because I'd love to use it for web development as well.

kapuruon Apple’s use of Swift in iOS 12

Honestly curious: What makes it such a fantastic language?

kapuruon Ask HN: Dealing with a competitor who is scraping my content and ranking higher

Does the same thing apply to newsletters? Let's say I get a bunch of free newsletters to my inbox and share them on my website (I mean literally copy the body so people don't have to sign up for the newsletter themselves), does it count as copyright infringement?

kapuruon Show HN: Chrome Crypto Ticker

Good work. I'm curious which API you use (or many different?), because in comparison to other plugins you even support newly listed airdrops.

Another question: Is there any good approach to monetize a chrome extension like this one?

kapuruon Atom 1.29

Sadly, no. I tried it out again a couple of days ago and the performance is still terrible. I'm in the same boat as you and switched to VS Code.

Mail is out! Thank you. :-)

kapuruon Show HN: RemoteHacker.com – Find a project partner

I experienced this with so many potential "partners/co-founders". It almost always starts with an exciting discussions about the possibilities and how we're all going make s--tloads of money, but as soon as I expect them to commit to the repo they just can't deliver. Most of the times it's lack of skills, missing motivation, or just the fact that they can't work without being micro-managed by me.

kapuruon Show HN: RemoteHacker.com – Find a project partner

I would love to use it, as I'm desperately looking for a partner for my site Unfollow.IO and another project since 2016, but I have no credit card. Would you accept PayPal?

kapuruon Nanobox is now free for developers

I need this. To bad it doesn't support deployments to packet.net.

kapuruon [dead]

This is probably one of the worst things that can happen to an exchange like Coinbase in moments like this and I expect this outage to cost them quite a few customers.

kapuruon Bitcoin Cash Skyrockets, Bitcoin Price Drops As Civil War Continues

By the time this submission gets to the front page, Bitcoin Cash will be crashing again.

kapuruon Show HN: Twitter Unfollow notifications within Twitter

Cool! I created something similar for Twitch (and upcoming support for more platforms) @ https://www.unfollow.io.

I don't have a monetization model yet, but yours looks really fair.

kapuruon Show HN: Introducing Go Serverless Functions with OpenFaaS

This was posted 4 times in the past 48 hours by the same user.

kapuruon Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (October 2017)

I design and develop software, with a specialization in full-stack web development using Laravel and Golang.

You can also find some links to my side projects on https://tas.fm/.

kapuruon Ask HN: Projects that don't make you money but you're doing it out of sheer joy?

Created Unfollow (https://www.unfollow.io) because I wanted to know who unfollowed me on Twitch. Not a noble reason. But now that I don't stream anymore I just do it because it's so much fun and I don't care about unfollowers anymore. Lots of people use it which motivates me. It's free, but I'm looking for monetization strategies.

kapuruon Ask HN: How did you find your great side project idea?

Back when I was streaming games on Twitch I cared a lot about my followers count. When you only have 10 followers and all of a sudden someone unfollows it's kind of a big deal, especially if you're trying to grow your followership. I usually spent some time checking my followers list to find out _who_ unfollowed me.

To save me the hassle I developed Unfollow (https://www.unfollow.io). You sign up, connect your Twitch account and it starts tracking your unfollowers and notifies you.

I didn't develop this because I want to encourage people to care about their unfollowers. It's about curiousity. The curiosity about this person who's not following you anymore. I hope the tool can help people satisfy this curiosity.

kapuruon Ask HN: What API do you wish you had while building your product?

Can you tell me more about how you would've integrated the API? I think I could've helped out.

kapuruon Visual Studio for Mac

Any .NET MVC developers here? I always wanted to learn ASP MVC, but never did because I was scared of the deployment situation on Linux. Has anything changed in that regard? Would you say deploying a .NET web app works almost as smooth on Linux as let's say a node.js app?

kapuruon How Heat Kills Cells

What about tanning (or tanning studios)? I know there's a big difference between a sauna and a tanning studio, but since we're talking about heating up the body, would it have the same effect? (...despite causing skin cancer)

kapuruon Show HN: Mirrorshades – Simple web analytics

I think I'm in love.

I just recently switch from GA to Gauges, because the referral spam and bloat was annoying me.

I'm definitely going to use this on my next project. Simple and beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

kapuruon GitHub changes topbar to dark theme

Before everybody goes crazy. You can change the header to the light version again by going into your Settings -> Design.

Some people are still missing this option in their settings, but it will show up soon.

kapuruon Building a One-Person SaaS App Offers a Profound Sense of Personal Achievement

I've built my first SaaS (https://www.unfollow.io) and even after three months gaining users is still a hard challengef for me. But all in all the experience and the feeling after the release was totally worth it, even if it turns out not to be profitable in the long run.

If anyones interested in talking about the project hit me up @ earl@unfollow.io

kapuruon Show HN: Paste.lol, an infinite message board

So far I'm loving it. The design is simple and clean (on the phone too). I wish you best of luck and I hope the community won't be like the one on 4chan.

kapuruon HackMyFortress – 20 000$ REWARD – 2Ms hacking attempts reached

Has anyone ever won?

kapuruon Ask HN: Which are the most secure domain registrars, in your opinion?

Secure? That's broad. One tip: If you're an activist and scared of censorship better avoid any .tld related to verisign.

kapuruon Ask HN: Is my project at a disadvantage for being hosted on a GitHub competitor?

This is something I just recently thought about as well. I somehow take projects hosted on Github alternatives less serious - even though I probably shouldn't. If you want to host your project on a Github alternative I recommend using Gitlab, which I think is best alternative to Github. Bitbuckets UI is just so cluttered that I often bounce after a few seconds.

kapuruon Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?

I've built https://www.defollow.com

It tracks your Twitch unfollowers. I would never recommend anybody to care about unfollowers, but I was just always so curious to find out who unfollowed me (and hunt him until he refollows).

I also plan to add YouTube support soon. :)

Edit: It's still a little bit in development.
