Try to reach Lucas Radaelli, a blind Google developer and an amazing person. I am sure he can give some good tips. His twitter handle is @lucasradaelli

Yeah, that sucks. And the devs asks for the e-mail BEFORE the paywall. It's not an honest attitude.

This is one of the reasons I don't trust 2FA. Too easy to lost access to online accounts.
llagerlof··on Show HN: The Typing of the RegEX
You are right! I thought the game doesn't support flags. Maybe just the starting / could be part of the mask.
llagerlof··on Show HN: The Typing of the RegEX
> Also, the timer is way too short for anything more than a word or two. The third one is a whole bunch of words. That's too much.

Unless game objective is also to train typing, you are right.

llagerlof··on Show HN: The Typing of the RegEX
I liked it. Thank you.

These are my 2 cents:

- The starting and ending / could be part of the mask, so the user don't need to type it.

- Some rules are not immediately clear. Eg. "The WORLD IS GOOD", should be /WORLD IS GOOD/ or /(WORLD|IS|GOOD)/ ? Or both?

- Add difficult levels. Maybe more time on easy mode.

- It's a nice learning environment. Let the user try to solve the puzzle when the time ends, just don't let him pass to the next level. Or maybe let him pass, but reset the score.

I definetely want more episodes of LOST. I would drop the infamous season 6 and generate more seasons following the 5th season.
llagerlof··on Show HN: I made a custom news aggregator that updates automatically
I loved it.

I have some comments to make.

On hacker News feed you link the external link, however on Reddit feed you link the comments link.

I think the approach in this case could be consistent. Eg: Always link the external link, but provide a supplementary link to access the comments (when available). For example, the comments/discussion link could be an icon, something along this:

https://imgur.com/a/zuXeT8k

In reddit case, same thing. Link the external link and add a secondary link to access the discussion thread.

llagerlof··on Show HN: Density userstyle to remove spacing from popular websites
I only use html gmail. Not because the default GUI is bad, but because its too heavy. Look at these numbers. I just opened here, clicked nothing:

"393 request, 5.7 MB transferred, 34.3MB resources"

It's crazy.

llagerlof··on Show HN: A Minimal PHP Wiki
Yeah, I saw this project yesterday. Looks very nice. Isn't real single html since grab the css and js from cdn, but that's ok.
llagerlof··on Show HN: A Minimal PHP Wiki
Hi dev!

I am a PHP developer and love minimalistic, one file projects. I love wikis too.

My comments here is not intended to be negative, just some feedback, so you can improve the program (and maybe fix some things).

I tried to bring your wiki online at my localhost. Doesn't worked because you are using short open tags. Since many PHP installations have this Off by default, I think you should use the non-short open tag "<?php" instead just "<?".

I changed it but faced another issue. The Syntax <?php=$variable?> was giving me some render issues. I don't dive in to find why, but I changed it to <?php echo $variable; ?>

It worked! Well, so-so.

A page with a textarea rendered. I typed something and clicked on save, but the page reloaded and nothing happened. Tried filling the password too. When I click on "Wiki" link, nothing happens too.

If you need some more info to help you find why the app is having this behaviour, just tell me.

llagerlof··on Show HN: WeExpire – Notes readable only after your death
That is certainly a very useful service.

I think the solution need some improvement, because:

1. The system relies in a third party person. What happens if the user loses the qrcode? Or even if he becomes unavailable?

2. What if the system send the e-mail, but the user doesn't see it (mail server error, spam inbox, etc)?

3. What if the server/domain goes down? This type of service must the the most reliable possible. Maybe a government funded project could address this.

I hope you find solutions for these problems.

Since you touched this subject, Google has a service that aims the same, but the validation is different. If the user doesn't access his account after n months, a phone call is made to the user AND an e-mail is sent to someone the user choose.

llagerlof··on Show HN: dpScreenOCR – a program to recognize text on the screen
Although I believe this software (dpScreenOCR-1.1.0-win32-2.exe) is fully safe, virustotal is giving 2 false positives (Avast and AVG).

I mean, probably part of your users will not install the program because of this. Maybe you want to track the reason and kill these false positives. This guy documented his process: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2016/oct/05/dealing-with-...

Which database are you using to store the messages?
llagerlof··on Show HN: Super Realistic Text-to-Speech for Blogs
You provide a demo and ask for registration, no problem, but asking for the credit card info AFTER the registration without previously telling the user that a credit card will be required is bad and makes me distrust the site.

The page doesn't even tell me that's a paid service.

llagerlof··on Show HN: For coders to connect and share knowledge
No option to share PHP code? The code editor supports only a small set of languages.
llagerlof··on Show HN: Webapp to Format SQL Queries for Readability
I liked the formatting style. However I could not make the syntax formatter work and the spaces combo didn't any difference. The indentation always use 4 spaces.
llagerlof··on Show HN: Offline-First Personal Kanban
Looks really amazing. Simple to use. Fast. Clean. Beautiful.

I just think the storage should be something less volatile than LocalStorage. Maybe the application could provide other options as SQLite or JSON, keeping LocalStorage to people that doesn't need or do not want setup a server.

llagerlof··on Show HN: I built a quick way to send links from desktop to mobile
Nice. Now we just need a way to share links from mobile to desktop and we have made a full circle!

Thanks.

Yeah, that bothered me too. I mean, even in a free plan I expect the same level of security as the paid plan.

I posted a text with code containing "```" to start e "```" to end the code blocks.

After publishing I tried to edit, but the "```" was replaced by "<!---->".

llagerlof··on Show HN: A Blogging Platform
What I liked:

- Fast and lite.

- Sun/night theme.

- Syntax highlight for code.

- Instant preview.

What made me lose my mind ;-)

- When visiting the base site URL, no indication if I am logged in or not. No clear indication how to return to my profile.

- After some time I realized I need to click on Start Writing to access my dashboard. Ok, but I really think that should have a clear indication if I am already logged in.

- In dashboard post listing would be useful to have something indicating which posts are published. And for each post, a button allowing me to quick publish it or "unpublish" (make private again).

- If I am reading a published post and I am already logged in, add a link somewhere to allow quick access to editing mode.

Thank you!
