yawnt··on Listening Practice for Niche Languages

even if you do click on web and hit the first result, you still get a paywall.. maybe it's a US-only thing?
yawnt··on YepJet: Stripe for airlines
hi! i'm sorry that you feel that way. we're aware of the guidelines and thought about it. we decided to go with "Show HN:" for 2 reasons:

1- The API can be tried, the curl examples can be pasted and they work

2- looking at past examples (such as EasyPost), they seem to follow our pattern

for these reasons we didn't see a problem with using the "Show HN" tag :)

yawnt··on Show HN: Find email addresses of people you want to contact
i agree it's not that hard, however even if it takes 5 minutes you're valuing your time at 0.99*12 = 11.88$ / h .. i'd rather just pay 99¢ .. i thought about this because lately i've been been coldmailing people a lot and it does take its time.. thanks for your feedback however, always appreciated :)
