Ask HN: Best ways to spread the word about your web app
Hi everyone. I built a beautiful project and task management tool and am now struggling to spread the word about it. Would be interesting to know from who went the same path if you have any pointers for me. Seems to be incredibly hard to push through all the noise out there.

Show HN: Inko 0.10.0 – build concurrent software with confidence
https://inko-lang.org/news/inko-0-10-0-released/
I last did a "Show HN" about Inko in 2018 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17702237), but the language has changed drastically since then. For example, the GC is removed and we now use a single ownership model, and Inko's concurrency API is now type-safe (inspired a bit by Pony). I'm hopeful these changes will make Inko a more interesting/compelling language to use compared to the likes of Ruby, Python, and Go (basically any mid/high level language where concurrency is needed).
Show HN: Unitunes – Transfer, sync, and backup playlists on music services
https://github.com/platers/unitunes
Hey HN!

I built unitunes to take control of my music. unitunes is a CLI tool that can transfer songs between services and keep playlists in sync. It is a free open source alternative to paid services such as Soundiiz and TuneMyMusic.

unitunes stores your playlists in plain text, allowing you to version control your music. Playlists can be pushed and pulled from streaming services. Tracks from one service can be searched on another.

Currently spotify, musicbrainz, and youtube music are supported. I hope to add support for all kinds of "services", such as local files, musescore, osu!, beatsaber, genius, or anywhere else music exists in some form.

I'm looking for collaborators to help add more services and improve the search algorithm!

Ask HN: How do I plug myself into the Hacker community?
Hi all,

I'm 25 years old and have been writing software since I was 12. While growing up I never did have any close friends that were as enthusiastic and passionate about programming as I am. All of my friends were into football. So, while we'd sit at our high school lunch tables and talk about football players, I would most likely be day dreaming about what my next weekend programming project would be or why my Diablo hack was causing the game to crash - the real fun stuff.

Anyways, I did Computer Science in College and went to a heavy commuter University in North Dallas. Nobody there seemed to really care about programming, either. I'd ask group members and classmates about any cool things they've programmed and most would look at me like I'm crazy. Some didn't even want to go into a computer science job after college, either!

I'm now at my second programming-related job. I worked at Nortel for a year and then we all know what happened to them. I now work at a 6 person company, as one of two developers on staff. It's nothing new-age, or enjoyable, or fun. In fact, I feel like I'm wasting my time there. I feel like I need to be with other hackers. This is what I've always wanted, really. I just figured it would somehow happen.

So there's my question becoming apparent now after this wall of text - how do I plug myself into the hacker community? I'm in the Dallas, Texas area. I'm sure there's tons of things going on out here, but it sounds like everything is happening in San Francisco. Is it going to require me to just do it, and take a trip out there for some monthly hacker get together? Or what about New York, would it be worth heading out there for a monthly get together, also? I wouldn't know anyone out there so I don't even know if that'd be beneficial to just go do. (I don't see how it could necessarily hurt either) Should I focus on just making some cool projects and beefing up a github repo for myself? Should I blog? I've always been more of a "do"-er when it comes to programming so I never did really focus on a blog for myself. I read HN daily and am jealous when I read posts about groups of people living in a house working on websites, etc. That's my eventual goal I guess and am trying to figure out how to get from here to there.

I'm not claiming to be a guru or anything but I do have this gut feeling that if I could wire myself into a community of like minded people then the future would at least be highly enjoyable and worth whatever I did to get there.

Thanks for any advice!

Ask PG: Why not allow links from the text field on submissions
I frequently see ask HN articles that are posted with links in their text field. I have read the submission form where it says "If there is a url, the text will be ignored" but I don't understand why HN does that. HN is my conduit to interesting articles and links are the fastest way to get to these articles when a little context is required.

My question: Can you make those urls into hyperlinks? If not, why?

Is there something special (or just expensive) about USB-C, that's holding things back?
Ask HN: Has anyone ever used an email validation API?

Show HN: A new(?) approach for your bookmarks
Hey HN community,

there are a couple of websites I visit on a daily basis. I type the first two
oder three characters of the url and the autocomplete feature of my browser does the rest. That is also how I procrastinate. It happens that i visit the same website over and over again without that there is really new content on that site. Or on the other side it happens that I forget to visit a certain site for some days.

To address all this I build the following website: https://everyday-favs.com

The idea is: you have one personal link (1) and define a list of websites and how often you want to visit them. Then you set this link as your homepage or on your browser bookmark bar.
Then by visiting your personal link you get redirected to a website of your list that you have not visited in your configured timespan.
If there is no more website to visit you get redirect to a static site saying "all done, let's get back to work!".

The second feature is that you can share the list of bookmarks (2) with others and they can create a copy of it and set their own timings and add/remove urls.

I use this on my desktop pc and my mobile phone. Because it is the same link it is automatically synchronized on all your devices.

It is a bit hard to explain. Hopefully you get the idea. But i tried it the last couple of weeks on my laptop and smartphone and love it! It really helps me stop procrastinating.

(1) Example: https://everyday-favs.com/p/huam36op8jom-gu4mgf1ectnu-pmku8mnc1tzu

since it all compiles to C code and one memory mapped file.

Ask HN: Single vs recurring payments for web apps
I'm working on a new web app right now and am trying to figure out what the best way is to charge for it.

For my previous web apps, I charged the user once when they signed up. There were no recurring payments. I reasoned that for the type of web apps I build -- tools -- that most people would prefer one larger payment vs a recurring small one.

I've been discussing it with a few other folks and they're encouraging me to try a monthly payment, pointing to the success that 37signals has had with it. Less people might sign up, but over time the extra revenue you make from them will make up for it.

I tend to to think of apps like Photoshop, Textmate, and Transmit and think "A recurring payment? No way." And yet somehow when I think of 37Signals, it doesn't seem so bad, but I can't put into words why one makes sense and not the other.

How do you decide? Has anyone tried both and compared the numbers?

HN: feedback on my image bookmarking website
http://imgfave.com
I built this in about three days using the laconica microblogging platform.

Basic idea is that you grab the bookmarklet (in the "post" section) and then can add images to your account in two clicks from whatever website your on.

I'd been looking for a good image bookmarking site to use but they are either invite only (ffffound.com) or too cluttered / too many features (weheartit.com, vi.sualize.us).. so I thought I'd make one myself.

Feature wise, the only thing new to image bookmarking here is the friend following feature.. but I'm hoping imgfave can succeed by staying really simple/easy to use and fast.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Ask HN: Review my startup Readness.com - a last.fm for news [chrome/fb connect]
We spend most of our time reading on the web. We're doing it right now. But what we read still feels like a black box, we believe we can create a remarkable experience by making these habits open.

We read to stay informed, and we wish to remain informed amongst our friends - this is the crux of readness.com, to inform you of what your friends are reading, and vice versa.

Readness.com remembers what news articles you read and shares them to your Readness.com friends. The great thing about this is irrespective of how you read news - Hacker News, websites, Twitter or RSS - as long as it's in the browser we can create you and your friends remarkability (recommendations and data).

We do this via a simple browser extension, initially for Google Chrome. We've designed this entire experience to respect your privacy online. Hopefully the click through to our site clearly defines our policy (essentialy: only friends see what you _read_, everyone else data & starred articles, 15 minute window before articles are shown to friends, whitelist of sites only)

You also get a great profile of what news you read, a news profile. It shows the topic sources and topics of news you read.

This product is super early (and our 3rd major product iteration, but thats another story) and we'd love all feedback on privacy, facebook integration and where you find value. Check it out!

Thanks!
