steventey··on Vercel Build Output API: Infrastructure-as-Filesystem
Hey, thanks for reporting this! Would love to know if there's a way I can reproduce this? We're currently in the process of rebuilding our Templates Marketplace so that could be why.

Super excited for `next/future/image` & edge API routes – it's really gonna change up the game for frontend development!

steventey··on Platforms Starter Kit: a template for site builders and low-code tools
Thanks for sharing this Lee! Super excited to be launching the Platforms Starter Kit here at Vercel!

Some context: We spent the last 6 months working with folks like Super.so, Typedream.com, Makeswift.com, Hashnode.com, and many more to create a comprehensive template for building multi-tenant applications with custom domains + amazing lighthouse scores.

Here are some of the features of this template:

- Custom domains & subdomains support with Edge Functions & the Vercel domains API (https://domains-api.vercel.app/)

- Static generation with ISR, which allows you to create new content (with custom domains) on demand without needing to redeploy your application.

- Uploading custom thumbnail images with our Cloudinary integration.

- Static tweets – avoid Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) from the native Twitter embed by using our static tweets implementation (https://static-tweets-tailwind.vercel.app/). It supports image, video, gif, poll, retweets, quote retweets, and more.

We’re excited for you to try this template out – let us know what you think!

steventey··on Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure
Bullish on Rust
steventey··on Show HN: We created custom domains for read.cv with Vercel edge functions
Nice work! Gonna be trying this out today. Quick question — aside from the custom domains aspect, what’s the difference between read.cv and something like LinkedIn?

Absolutely a huge fan of this Colin! Keep up the great work man!!

steventey··on Show HN: Alias – Google Alerts for your favorite people
Have been following Alias for over a year now and am truly impressed by the amount of progress that you guys have made in such a short period of time!

One quick feedback that I have is on the homepage when you click on "Show More", maybe display more than just 1 row (3-4 would be idea) so I don't have to click it multiple times! :D

steventey··on Launch HN: Porter (YC S20) – Open-source Heroku in your own cloud
Have been using Porter for about 2 months now and all I can say is how impress I have been with the team's ability to ship new features + updates while also keeping up with their fantastic customer service! Have very high hopes for them and would definitely recommend betting on them early!
steventey··on Show HN: Centralized Coin – A Centralized Coin
Just played around with this for a bit, the "one lucky user" aspect looks like a really interesting mechanism: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1snxGwvS_VSlLr9fW7fcZaTS6...
steventey··on Every thought about personal finance I've ever had, as concisely as possible
Love this piece! It’s super helpful for Gen Z-ers who wanna get better at managing their finances!
steventey··on DALL·E: Creating Images from Text
That name though –

DALL·E = Dali + WALL·E

Freaking brilliant.

Was that generated by an AI as well?

I'm actually building a name generator that is as intelligent and creative as that for my senior year thesis (and also for https://www.oneword.domains/)

I already have an MVP that I'm testing out locally but I'd appreciate any ideas on how to make it as smart as possible!

Same on iPhone 8+ :O

This is fucking comedy gold, absolutely brilliant.

Signed up for my heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com email account and I'm thrilled to find out that I'm user #15!!! My life is officially complete.

steventey··on Show HN: I made a p5.js simulation that shows how masks reduce Covid spread
100%! People need to realize it's not their own wellbeing that they're protecting, but others' as well.
steventey··on Show HN: I made a p5.js simulation that shows how masks reduce Covid spread
This is incredible! Gosh, if only people were smart enough to actually wear masks and not invoke their "constitutional rights", we probably won't be in the shitshow that we are in today. Kudos to you for making this!
steventey··on Ask HN: What are some available force multipliers that most people don't know?
Might be a little clichéd but I'd say a simple for-loop is super powerful and can cut down the time spent processing a dataset by a large multiple. I'd go as far as to say recursion too but then that might also be a little clichéd so I'll say that a simple for-loop is super powerful and can cut down the time spent processing a dataset by a large multiple. I'd go as far as to say recursion too but then...
steventey··on Show HN: I built an After Effects for dummies
"send it to a human" lol that made me chuckle!

Thanks for explaining this in detail, Michael! Really great work here!

steventey··on Forget VCs, this accelerator lets you invest directly in startups fighting Covid
Yeah, that was one of my concerns as well - some of these startups seem to be targeting issues that are tangential at best to COVID, and that was a little confusing to me given the article's title.
steventey··on Forget VCs, this accelerator lets you invest directly in startups fighting Covid
That's a good point, and it reminds me of the saying - don't invest more than you're willing to lose. I'm definitely open to making $100 investments, but I guess my question was more directed towards higher risk/volume investments that might beg for a more structured DD process.
steventey··on Forget VCs, this accelerator lets you invest directly in startups fighting Covid
Totally agree with this! There's also the notion of sunk cost when it comes to angel investing, which often arise when a startup goes through a slow steady decline in profitability and eventually, to their ultimate demise. You don't (usually) see this happening in the stock market.
steventey··on Forget VCs, this accelerator lets you invest directly in startups fighting Covid
That's a very interesting phenomenon - I can definitely see parallels between that and the stock market, with there being record number of new traders getting into the stock market in the recent months due to COVID (https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronavirus-turmoil-free-trades...). Not sure if the mindset between those new stock traders and the new investors on XX are the same though.
steventey··on Forget VCs, this accelerator lets you invest directly in startups fighting Covid
Took the words right out of my head. Personally, I'd like to see some initial signs of traction/growth before I make any investments in a startup so unless XX is able to provide me with that kind of assurance (which can be done through a very thorough and transparent DD process), I'm not sure if I'll have the confidence to make an investment, at least not for now.
