vladstudioon Ask HN: How do you plan on making money with Open AI API?

I'm doing design for the team at Kadoa [0] which uses AI API to extract unsctuctured data from whatever sources you throw at it, and prepare it for further automated processing. Seems like a valid use case.

thanks! this seems to be for notes only?

yeah kind of something like that, thanks for the link! I am a big fan of reinventing wheels, though, just for fun (and experience).

no idea yet, but hopefully it would work really well :-)

vladstudioon Orion Browser

As many of other commenters here, I agree that:

- it's awesome to have more browsers;

- Orion is very impressive already, but not quite ready for daily using if your browsing needs are above average;

- vertical tabs are the biggest selling point for many people.

I also wanted to mention how responsive the team are. I submit my thoughts and bug reports from time to time on the official forum [0], and the team cares a lot, which is fascinating.

vladstudioon Ask HN: Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or...?

Cannot say, unfortunately - I do not use any of these plugins.

vladstudioon Ask HN: Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or...?

Trying out self-hosting is almost as addictive as trying out note managers :-)

Anyway, here's my current setup:

- Hetzner Cloud VPS -- https://www.hetzner.com/cloud -- I use it for a public website - https://vlad.studio/ - otherwise I'd get the cheapest option); 4€/mo

- 1Tb Hetzner Storage -- https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box -- mounted as an external drive to the server above; € 3.81

- Filerun -- https://www.filerun.com/ -- used as web interface and file manager, instead of NextCloud. I wanted to like NextCloud, but couldn't. Filerun looks nice. It is not as complex .

- Various mobile Nextcloud-compatible apps connect to my Filerun instance. I'm not happy with this part of setup yet.

vladstudioon Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2022 – Show and tell

And I still sell access to wallpapers I draw (for last 20+ years), and some people still seem to like them enough to buy an account, and the average income is still around 500$/month.

vladstudioon Htmx in a Nutshell

I feel warm and fuzzy inside every time HTMX is featured on the front page :-)

Btw if you are interested in the reasoning of HTMX: https://htmx.org/essays/

vladstudioon Breaking up with JavaScript front ends

Probably worth mentioning that the submitted link is just the presentation by the author of Unpoly, with some history and reasoning, but the better explanation of Unpoly itself is on their website:

Essays on HTMX website also help a lot:

To me personally, your product description here at HN (on top of this page) is more to the point than the copy on the homepage!

also, there is a wonderful little app called ShortCat:

it does much more though, and may not be for everyone's taste.

vladstudioon Affinity 2

I actually use Pixelmator Pro vector tools a lot, for illustrating, not photo editing - they are quite basic (comparing to Illustrator) but for my specific needs it's quite enough.

vladstudioon Affinity 2

I've been Photoshop user since, hmm, 2000? Gave up couple of years ago, and spent some time comparing Affinity Designer and Pixelmator Pro. For me personally, Pixelmator won, and it's been my editor of choice:

vladstudioon Show HN: I solved my New Tab page

That's a very valid report, thanks! I'll look into adding a search option to the wallpaper picker. This particular picture is called Library and is quite old :-)

vladstudioon Show HN: I solved my New Tab page

Looks good! The design is, hm, very opinionated, but well done.

Shameless plug - last year, I solve my New Tab page too :-) And it shares a lot of ideas with yours - https://new-tab.vlad.studio/

vladstudioon Brave browser now blocks cookie banners

Yeah I actually meant to only link to the last one! (I removed all other versions).

vladstudioon Brave browser now blocks cookie banners

Here's my story with Brave. I am obsessed with browser interfaces, and have tried them all - Safari, Chrome, Vivaldi, Orion, Arc, Firefox. Because of my specific use cases, I always returned to Chrome.

Brave initially turned me off - I did not care about Rewards and Wallet. However, after turning them off, I found that it's basically Chrome (e.g. Figma works fine, unlike Webkit-based browsers), but de-Googled and with ad blocking natively implemented.

I also liked squared tabs more!

Also, here's my custom icon for Brave:

* this is excellent!

* I think what many commenters really want (myself included) is the way to configure the list of sources (what they are, and in what order).
