vinnskion Ask HN: What Pocket alternatives did you move to?

pinboard.in

I like the privacy first approach and the web 1.0 look. The tag cloud is pretty neat too

vinnskion Show HN: HackerNewt – Breadth-first exploring HN client for iOS

Nicely done - thanks for making it. Not sure if I’ll ever get used to swipe actions between boards though… other than that I appreciate its simplicity. The haptics slider is a nice touch too

vinnskion Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers

The headline reminds me of the (debunked) theory that ergot-contaminated grain was what incited the Salem witch trials - which was just as ridiculous

vinnskion Ask HN: What sub $200 product improved your 2024

vinnskion The upstream cause of the youth mental health crisis is the loss of community

Seems like almost every community nowadays has to have their own Discord server or private Facebook group. Often a deal-breaker for the more privacy-conscious people, unfortunately

vinnskion Majority of web apps could just run on a single server

Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning. Also because I wanted to contribute more than just typos and grammatical errors (as important as they are).
