Hey HN, the maker here.

I love Cursor Dark but couldn't find a good light theme that matches the style. So I took an attempt to make something I wanna use myself.

Let me know if you have any feedback.

Second this.

The price to value that you get is unbelievable!

The founder is super helpful and has a vibrant community on Discord.

I can't recommend more.

I'm a solo founder bootstrapping https://www.browserhub.io/

It's definitely not easy to grow these days. But I'm still grateful that at least the needle is moving.

So far I only launched on Twitter (not a bunch of audience). And I hope I can launch on more sites like Product Hunt next month.

And yeah, I'm worried about the future. But the best thing I can do is to be present. I'll do what I can to grow the business.

Wish me luck :)

We have some great alternatives these days.

- render.com (I’m using it)

- fly.io

- railway.app

- DigitalOcean App Platform

- Vercel

So far that’s all that came to mind.

Hi hackers,

Over the past month I’ve been working on a tool called Browserhub, and it’s a way to automate browsing actions without coding. You can use it to perform end-to-end testing, web scraping, and much more.

And as we may know, there are many edge cases and technical hurdles to automate browsing actions. Solving captcha, rotating proxies, you name it.

That's why I'm reaching out to you. I’m eager to hear about your most painful process of coding your own browser automation solutions. If you have a magic wand, what would you change from the process?

Appreciate any kind of feedback here :)

Yes.

I’m building https://getmumu.com and the revenue is still growing strong over time.

And it’s been fun to make something that earns money yet people love the product.

Hey! The support starts from Catalina (macOS 10.15) to the latest Big Sur. And works for Intel or M1 processor.

> With that in perspective, the figure of 5k / 10k synonyms mentioned on your website doesn't seem that 'groundbreaking'.

I only generated it once in a go. The number will grow as the time goes by. Imagine the multiplier then.

> Just wanted to understand what value GPT3 brought to your product.

Thanks for your intent, appreciate it :) So I used GPT-3 to train all emojis, not only the new ones. That means a particular emoji will get more and more synonyms as I hire GPT-3 over and over again.

Hi! The founder here.

I use GPT-3 to generate synonyms for all of the emojis.

And yes, it’s simple to have a list of synonyms. But is it easy? Calculate the time anyone takes to write synonyms for a particular emoji, and multiply it by the number of emojis (thousands). Not to mention the energy that people spend for it.

For the 2nd question – it’s a limited price deal, and it’ll go up in a few hours.

Hi HN! The maker here.

It’s my attempt to code natively on Swift without Storyboard, SwiftUI, or anything else.

Looking forward to hear your feedback about it. I’m all ears.

Hi HN!

The maker of Mumu here.

I made Mumu because I couldn't count how much time I was frustrated by an emoji picker. Picking the right emoji has been immersed in my daily workflow for a long time. So I know it needs a change.

It's a native app on top of Swift. Not a SwiftUI yet, but probably interested to research more about its reliability.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback about it. Cheers!

I built nicetweeps.com to diversify my Twitter timeline ;)

Hello hackers, the maker here!

In this kind of work from home situation, there’s no better way to save your time than making sure your Twitter consumption is on point. Thus, we should only read what we gotta read: the more focused timeline or list. That’s the motivation behind the product, to ease you finding the right people to follow based on your interest.

It’s based on NextJS and hosted on Vercel, with styled components under the hood. I also deploy it as static website, since I don’t use any database other than some JSON files.

That said, I’m looking forward to hear what you think. Feel free to give me feedback on the tech things or anything else.

Thank you!

I just pushed your suggestion to production! And thanks for your kind words, really appreciate it!

Let me know if you have more things in mind, I'm totally open to suggestions and initiatives.

The maker here! One day I was in Bali for holiday and stayed in a hotel. Naturally I ordered an online taxi to go to a particular place, but then I realized the driver couldn't pick me up because the rules from the hotel said so.

Later on I realized that some places in Bali are not allowing visitors to book online taxi right from their place. It's truly annoying, especially when I don't know about that beforehand, I have to walk to seek nearby places that are good to book from there.

I'm not going against the rules, but I think it should be easier for people to figure out whether or not the place they want to visit is allowed to book the online taxi.

Of course it's still too early and not all the places are listed yet. However, I'm looking forward to hear your feedback or questions! Even better if you could add some missing places based on your experience. Thanks!

If you find there’s a price tag in any service that you want to use, pay for it! Also, share what you’re doing to other people and encourage them to do the same.

Of course if you’re the only one that pays, that wouldn’t be meaningful. But if it becomes the culture, then it would be another story.

I personally use iCloud Keychain, and it’s more than enough for me.

Use Rails & Heroku – just that. That's more than enough. One and only advice is don't follow the hype, just focus on what you wanna deliver. You can thank me later.

What’s wrong with the built-in Mail app btw? I use it in daily basis and it’s pretty good to get its job done.

Hi HN! I made this next evolution to focus solely on helping people to discover what they love—and somehow inspiring—in a better way. Here’s the demo video: https://youtu.be/aAoF2YrfWBY Let me know what you think!

Hello HN, I'm the maker here.

AMA!

Practice on online judge helps! You can go to http://codeforces.com/problemset/tags/dp for instance. There are people that could help you also. Just solve and ask if you don't get it. Hope that helps.

Back then I wanted to implement an internet provider, since my country sucks on providing it with a proper plans

Hello!

It's not live yet. Although i've finished the product and have been used it for a while by myself, i wanted to know whether people really want to use it.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks! :)

Hello hackers! :)

I wanna share my side project, it's called Mata.

I love reading, it keeps me to be an open minded person. As usual, i read on my spare time. I found that reading much articles makes my eyes 'hurt'.

That's why i created this extension. Please have it a try, and i would love to know your feedback, and also whether you need to use this extension or not and why.

Happy weekend!

To be honest, i think this suggestion can only applied to someone that 'backed-by-community'.

Normal people that don't have 'friends' will not getting much feedback when trying to do so.

What do you think, communities? :)

Trello is great, i used that for few times. But it turned that i spent much of my time to organise things than make it done.

What do you mean by "are you me"? :)

Interesting, could you please elaborate more?

Of course i can do that per to-do. But imagine if we have 10 or more to-do list.
