If it stays at the top of HN front page, it means that it's relevant for the community. HN is about curiosity and conversations, interesting threads create value so people can learn by spending some time here. In my case, it was the comment of michaelt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20745614

Some people will have a HTTP 451 with this url. But it's available here: https://outline.com/KTn97c

I spent a part of my youth on Open Projects network especially in phreaking channels, I think real hackers are still there. Also I think that some of them decided to be more public and start to be active on Twitter or Telegram communities.

Congrats for the technical challenge!

Fortunately, getting a haircut is not so expensive everywhere. To be honest with you what you try to accomplish is a repeated topic of discussion in my barber shop and for the moment they seem happy not to see this kind of tech working.

Where I live people go the barber shop to feel somebody is taking care of them and have a nice chat in addition to having a nice haircut.

I think it's a business that tries to overcome the loneliness but I think you can compete with this if Buzz Robotics brings a kind of human touch, maybe you could make people appreciate robots after all.

Hi, do you track HN frontpage too? Glimpse sounds good, at the moment I use https://trennd.co, glad to see you are both building interesting solutions.

Thanks, I'll read this.

I read somewhere that "cockroach" is the new term for bootstrapped startups.

Hi Pierre, congrats on the launch! I'm following your progress since the beginning (2015) and your product is impressive. I saw you have Le Monde among your customer, did you notice than more and more media companies are investing in security?

It's hilarious but I'm sure some people will think it's a compilation of good pratices.

> I basically can't understand a thread on Twitter

I built a Twitter client just for that, because I find Twitter threads hard to read (https://threader.app).

It turns threads into a single page so it’s easier to read, like an article. We are also working on a way to compile conversations with multiple users: https://threader.app/conversation/1123033196642201600/vpw88S...

Already mentioned here before: https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1066547670477488128

Actually the Twitter thread format is really innovative. For Twitter users it’s a new way to consume stories and the limitation of each tweet gives the opportunity to the writers to be concise and get to the point.

But I agree with you, I think it’s more enjoyable to read it on a single page. I built Threader, a Twitter client that allows you to read these threads in an article format, without advertising clutter and fake news suggestions at the bottom:

Hi, I’m the co-founder of Threader, a Twitter client that curates good threads and compiles them in an article format.

One of our competitors was acquired by a US company 7 months ago. They didn’t communicate about it and still pretend to be indie developers. They even kept their Patreon, which is misleading since users might think they’re supporting indies.

I was wondering if people from the HN community have already heard of similar cases.

> Even worse, you did not even link to the dude on Twitter. You link to some unrelated "thread unrolling" service, carefully making sure nobody who did any of the work gets any of the traffic.

The "dude" on Twitter is an ex-columnist for the NYT. His perspective matters. By the way, the thread links to the author.

Indeed I’m the creator but I only share content that is relevant for the HN community.

> Similar lines could have been written about once crazy ideas that we take for granted today.

That's right, I hope some startups will succeed even if they are mocked or criticised like it was the case for Dropbox.

I plan to go there one day, and see it with my own eyes. A lot of cases presented are "french tech" startups which means these startups are invited with the money of the France taxpayers. It became a subject of mockery in France because institutional folks who never launched anything give business lessons to entrepreneurs and we see the result in Vegas each year.

Maybe because of hotlinking media. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi Grady, our users use the threader format because most of them use our iOS Twitter client and they found the article format easier to read. Indeed some people still prefer the Twitter format. In this particular case (with the clip position) we will improve the layout.

Hey totof, creator of Threader here. Could you email me (vincent[at]threader.app) the configuration of your device, I would like to reproduce the issue. Thanks

How did you gather these Twitter users?

Hi Armin, this challenge is a great initiative. I'm sure it will help a lot of hackers to show more what they are doing.

Thanks, I will do that.
