techaddict009··on How Sketch Took on Adobe
But have the really took over? I see designers who have shifted to Sketch pretty happy compared to using Photoshop or Illustrator to design something.

techaddict009··on Neuron Mobility raises $3.7M to bring e-scooters to Southeast Asia’s cities
I am from India where e-scooters do not exist at all. So can anyone comment on who is from a country where it exists a lot on:

How does it impact your life?

Have you used it?

What are pros and cons of it?

techaddict009··on Convert a Bird Scooter to a personal one with $32 kit
Bit off topic:

I had got to know about the scooter boom in USA via youtube video. It says anyone can put scooter anywhere in the city and can pick up any other scooter anytime they want from anywhere?

Is this really true?

techaddict009··on Japan Is Giving Away 8M Abandoned Houses
The title says "Japan Is Giving Away 8 Million Abandoned Houses — Here's How to Get One (Video)" there is nothing explained in the article nor in the video how to get one!

Loved the simplicity and accuracy of the tool.

techaddict009··on Show HN: Stay with founders in San Francisco
Can you add direct link to their startups website or app from their profile? Only name is there and many are having too generic name and its difficult to find their website/app.

This might cause issue of duplication for sites which do not have canonical URL implemented.
techaddict009··on How a Website Exploited Amazon S3 to Outrank Everyone on Google
Can you share more how exactly these pages rank? Just making static page doesn't rank. (I shared this post with SEO community and few people commented there so) Along with making static page any other things need to be done? Like Spam Links, Social Signals, PBN Links, Guest Posts, Forum Links, etc.
techaddict009··on How a Website Exploited Amazon S3 to Outrank Everyone on Google
No need for Webmaster tools to get indexed. Share it on G+ or any webpage which is indexed in Google your site will get indexed pretty soon.
techaddict009··on How a Website Exploited Amazon S3 to Outrank Everyone on Google
Google has tried to but hasnt killed it completely. Like it has reduced features on it.
techaddict009··on How a Website Exploited Amazon S3 to Outrank Everyone on Google
So in which niche you were cashing the cow in? :P
techaddict009··on How a Website Exploited Amazon S3 to Outrank Everyone on Google
This concept is called the leeching and ranking. In this, mostly Google Sites & AWS S3 is preferred as a source by the leechers. Mostly used by coupon and movie download sites.

Finally, someone has openly spoken about it, instead of exploiting it a bit more!

techaddict009··on Host Your Blog on DigitalOcean with Docker, Nginx and Let’s Encrypt
Why do you guys love complexing so much? Why not use one click wp instance from DO images?
techaddict009··on Show HN: Rotten Tomatoes for Amazon products
So are your aggregating all these reviews manually? Or using some scripts to aggregate them all?

And how are you updating the price? I have seen some affiliate program guidelines that you can not show old the prices of the product. So are you live updating them or how?

techaddict009··on Amazon Dark Patterns
I Was recently purchasing Macbook Battery from Amazon.in it was Rs.3100 and when I checked out and reached payment it showed 4199!

I said WTH did it happen? I cancelled payment and found that Prime Membership Renewal was added to the cart without my permission.

When I didnt want to renew it why did Amazon add it on its own?

One more similar experience with AWS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17652134

techaddict009··on Ask HN: How do you use Kanban at work?
We use different Trello Boards for different projects.

We use it in very minimalistic way:

3 Lists - To Do, Doing, Done.

I manage projects so I add tickets and tag the person who has to do it.

If needed I add due date.

I put a watch on 'Done' list and once something is there I review it out.

techaddict009··on Show HN: Shotsnapp – Create beautiful device mockup presentation
This is beautiful. Some feature I would suggest would make it awesome:

1 - Option to add a caption.

2 - Adding screens directly from here and fit it in the screen.

3 - Full mobile mockup. Currently, it cuts the top and bottom.

Edit: I re tried and feature 3 is there. U need to % out the size of the device.

techaddict009··on Launch HN: Dharma (YC S17) an open protocol for borrowing/lending cryptoassets
Is there any simple explanation of what exactly it is? I tried to understand it by reading various places on site but too heavy words used like credit liquidity, tokenized debt. When you are targeting normal people can you explain how exactly this works? Is it like I give bitcoin/ethereum and you give me fiat money and when I repay fiat money you give my bitcoin/ethereum back?
