Thank you, I have not heard of Spintax before. Nevertheless, I will try to provide added value for readers in the texts.

Thanks, I will modify the page and try again, hopefully it works this time.

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification, now I got the point.

> It's a weird egde case that is more likely as per their experience to result in chargebacks from the few sales they got.

Interesting thought, in that case I'll just have to keep trying.

Cool idea, thanks! I will give it a try.

Thank you for the feedback. It's not a hosting issue, my website is hosted at netcup and still up and running. I already created a new affiliate account, but if I don't change anything on the website I assume they will close it again after a while.

That would mean that you are at risk if you buy some Google ads to generate traffic. Why should Amazon want to avoid traffic?

Thanks for sharing your experience. So it really looks like Amazon expects a blog-like page.

> A person might expect fahrrad-tools.com to be a site where they could buy tools

I can't imagine that Amazon evaluates the domain in that way, Amazon even accepts URL paths to a personal blog where you are not the owner of the domain.

Good point, more written text could perhaps help.
moasda··on Ask HN: After great HN feedback on my web page Amazon closed my account
Would be interesting if somebody could resolve the issue and find out what unwritten rules Amazon has in addition.
moasda··on Ask HN: After great HN feedback on my web page Amazon closed my account
Correct, the hosting is not the problem, the website is still up and running. I'm talking about the Amazon Associates account needed for affiliate links.
moasda··on Ask HN: After great HN feedback on my web page Amazon closed my account
I cannot prove it, but it looks at least like that for me. I tried googling and read all the Amazon Associates pages again to find any hint. Maybe I just wasn't smart enough to find it.
moasda··on Ask HN: After great HN feedback on my web page Amazon closed my account
I cannot find contact details how to ask a question. I only can find a FAQ but it also is very superficial about what could be done wrong.
moasda··on The Evil List
Great hint, the list is very biased.

Looks great, thanks for sharing!
moasda··on Ask HN: How did dark mode win?
Yes, I also heared that argument. But I also can see a lot of web pages with dark theme that are not designed for mobile devices. For me it looks like following a trend.
moasda··on Ask HN: How did dark mode win?
I have never understood why companies spend so much effort to maintain two themes in their web apps or mobile apps. At least for developers I finally found a good explanation:

Why do developers prefer the dark theme? Because the light attracts bugs.

The deployment script minimizes the text files, creates gz files for nginx, and copies the files to the webserver host.

I guess it's mostly about convenience and reliability.
moasda··on Show HN: Web page that parses and explains the label on a bike tire
Good point, the page is designed for easy usage and beginners, rather than experts.

I wonder why you focus on the tube first? Wouldn't it be easier to choose a tire for your rim first? Then you can also easily find the right tube.
moasda··on Show HN: Web page that parses and explains the label on a bike tire
Thanks a lot for the insights!
moasda··on Show HN: Web page that parses and explains the label on a bike tire
Thank you! So far, I haven't even earned a coffee, but it would be great if I could compensate the hosting costs in the long run. :-)
moasda··on Show HN: Web page that parses and explains the label on a bike tire
Thank you! If you know the diameter of the rim (the round metal part in your description), e.g. 600 mm, and you can assume a tire width, e.g. 40 mm, then you can search for "40-600" and find some tubes:

Thank you for the hint!

You are right, my tube page also doesn't list a fitting tube for that size right now.
