spyridonas··on Show HN: Fall asleep by watching JavaScript load
As a proud European citizen, I visited your site… and… wait… WHERE IS MY SACRED COOKIE BANNER?? This is outrageous. Are you seriously trying to serve me content without first psychologically torturing me with 47 sliders and a philosophy essay about legitimate interest?? I checked the dev tools… zero cookies?? …excuse me?? Are you even trying to be GDPR compliant or are you just openly mocking the entire European project??

Your project is awesome by the way

AWS > Hetzner

My HP screen (HP Aero 13, not a gaming laptop, with a integrated gpu only) does flicker, turning completely off and then on, and this issue doesn't appear when connecting to external monitor.

I'm on the same boat, super productive with php/twig/jquery. But recently my boss gave my a side project without any specific requirements, 10 charts and 2-3 tables with their associated crud. I made everything with react + php, and oh my god that site is super fast. It's eye opening!
