Ha, I said the same thing when discussing the name, but the rest of the team simply liked it. I don't regret it though, we get to prove we publish the exact opposite. Thank you!


Hah, won't hurt to try! Bonus points for purple submissions, definitely ;)


Well, the guidelines say:

"Show HN is a way to share something that you've made on Hacker News."

I made this site, but if you're also interested in submitting...


But the Show HN rules say:

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.

> A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. The community is comfortable with work that's at an early stage.

> If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then.

> Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.


I disagree somewhat with the "sign-up pages" restriction, since it's technically possible to try out a sign-up page.

In this case, though, I agree with you. This doesn't seem to be ready to try out for its intended purpose (besides perhaps the submissions process).


Yes, we will be reading final drafts, otherwise it would be very hard to keep track of all stories and versions. If your story is chosen, and you give us permission, our editors will "polish it", if that is needed at all.


Woah, how did that escape me AND my auto-correct?

Well, now I'm embarrassed. Thanks for the heads up!


Hah, no problem. I'm just glad I'm not having some kind of vocabulary-related stroke ;)


Nope. Trash. uBlock origin.


What? Firefox doesn´t do that unless you explicitely create a firefox sync account, I don´t know about chrome

But if you are talking privacy, I assure you Firefox is 10x better in pretty much every aspect.


What if we sync account on Firefox, how much Firefox use our data?


See https://accounts.firefox.com/legal/privacy which links to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/

But in practical terms, I am not aware of any uses of the sync data apart from actually syncing it. That is, no mining of that data, etc.


Appreciated!

I haven´t, honestly I don´t know how effective they are. Have you tried them before?


TL;DR: I didn't set it up but it's worked well for physical products my clients sell.

I haven't gotten my hands dirty with it but I freelance all types of web stuff so I have (and work closely with) a few people that handle the SEO/Ad stuff. Usually we are promoting physical products (think event tickets, used computers, ect..) with FB and have had a pretty good success rate. FB lets you target with a level of specificity that is kind of creepy IMO but useful.

I'd say it's worth a shot. It's not too expensive and you can run a short campaign to see if it makes a dent. Maybe start with a wider scope and narrow that as you see what's hitting.

I guess the tricky part would be having users on it to talk to when the first timers click through. Also a lot of FB traffic is mobile so that's something to consider. Maybe you can exclude them from your target? Idk.

Hope this helps!


Dont use windows.

I use mac. It´s arguably better in everything except games.


Telegram is 10 times better than whatsapp.
