Tell HN: Looking for writers
I'm looking for startup founders and/or product makers who'd like to write (for free) about their experiences, as frequent, or as infrequent as they'd like.

You're free to choose any topic you want provided it fits one of three categories -- business, product (development or design), or startups.

I'm doing this because I'd like to read more about what's going on in the trenches -- from the founders, developers, designers, ceo's, etc., rather than just journalists.

It's okay if your company or product isn't widely successful. But it'd be great if you're able to write in a conversational manner.

Please email me at stevenj134@gmail.com if you'd like to write, or if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Perfect Trace.App that can contact trace respecting your privacy
The idea is simple, we need to develop a digital immune system.

For the paranoid like me, open source it and audit the system.

- self isolation is a partially a flawed method, because it depends on you developing symptoms, if you develop them. By that time you could have infected a bunch of people.

- Public tracing is also a flawed method. A % of the population will not pass your test points.

- Manual tracing is time consuming and depends on memory.

So now the APP.

- You enroll to a public service that give you a cripto token, similar to your run of the mill cyrptocoin wallet.

- You input your relevant medical information, including if you were already infected and cured, and comorbities (age, weight, smoking habits and other medical related issues). People can lie here, but it just a reference value.

- Use bluetooth, without pairing you can sense the proximity nerby beacons to determine who is close to you. A reverse flight mode should be implemented, meaning Bluetooth radios must be on. I don't think pairing is necessary, we can intervene earlier in the protocol.

- Every time you "contact" a blutooth signal, an event is generated with the proximate time and strength. A combined hash is generated with your Bluetooth mac or BD_ADDR. The event hash is send to a server with your token, the other person will send a similar hash in a way both can be linked but not traced at the moment.

- If you get cornavirus, server generates a certificate to "open" your trace contact history, The server version contact trace the events to the particular day of the supposed infect and alerts the users via the "wallet".

- Once you get cured, medical team puts another token on your wallet, suspecting you cannot get reinfected or pass it to other people.

- I propose bluetooth because the signal strength is short enough to relate to "physical contact" in the sense of air dispersion, Barriers for the virus are also normally barriers for bluetooth

Show HN: XcuseMe – Exercise tracking for real people
https://xcuseme.ihpapp.com/NewSession
I made a web app using Elm, Haskell and IHP for tracking my exercises-- and excuses!

The code is available on github - https://github.com/unterkoefler/xcuseme

I also wrote some notes on the development process (I rewrote the whole thing 3 times :)) and posted them on my blog here - https://www.unanswered.blog/xcuseme

The app was designed for mobile devices, so it will work, but look ugly, on desktop. The signup page asks for your email, but I'm using the free tier of IHP Cloud, which does not support sending emails, so I have no verification process in place. Also, like any IHP app, it uses nix for dependency management, so it should be straightforward to run locally if you want to try that instead.

Hope you enjoy!

"As I encounter graphic design in the ‘life-world’, both student and professional work, I have observed that I am drawn to work that resonates, that produces within me a sympathetic vibration, a bodily response. This resonance is not generated solely from a functional hierarchy of information, an eye-catching colour palette or careful typography. There is something more:
something that actively captures my attention, something that pulls me into ‘a certain mood, a certain receptiveness and willingness to experience, associate, transform, think’ (Hollein 1976, p. 13)"

Show HN: I built a simply mock API for devs
https://resbin.com
Do you like to write your frontend code before building your backend? You can use ResBin to mock your API responses with your own data until the real API is ready. You can also use it in tests that need to make API calls to have a stable source of non-prod data, test your error handling flows, or use it for anything else you want!

All you need to is enter a response status and response body and ResBin will generate unique API endpoint for you to use. Then you can make API requests to your new endpoint the same way you would any other HTTP request, and you'll receive the response you built!

ResBin is completely free to use, and also open source https://github.com/dasveloper/ResBin (repo is work in progress).

Currently response bins only last 90 days, but I'll likely remove that limitation soon.

On science and sports 
http://interchangeproject.org/2012/05/14/on-science-and-sports/
"I overheard a few teachers at this year’s Intel International Science and Engineering Fair lamenting how difficult it was to get their schools to pay science teachers to mentor students and help them in science competitions.

Sports coaches have no problem getting paid, sometimes quite well. One teacher said their high school football couch was paid $10,000, while science teachers received nothing for helping students do independent research, enter competitions, bring pride to their communities and help invent things that push the human race forward."

Ask HN: Any chance of email address portability in next decade?
I'd argue that email now is one of the central parts of your online identity, and seeing how some providers can terminate your account and everything related to it in a second is actually scary.

How do you think, what is the chance that there will be legislature etc that will allow you to separate your email address from a provider and own it/be able to port it? Are there any RFCs that explore that idea?

I understand that I can buy my own domain, host my server or connect O365/GSuite to the address on that domain, but it's complicated and doesn't solve the problem of letting everyone know that your email, that you've used for past decade, or more, is now obsolete.
Delivering all your websites’ images through a CDN
http://cloudinary.com/blog/delivering_all_your_websites_images_through_a_cdn
If you take a look at the top 100 blogs you will notice that almost all of them deliver their assets (images, JS, CSS, etc.) through state-of-the-art CDNs and utilize online resizing technologies. With faster, off-site access, they greatly improve their users’ browsing experience, while reducing load on their servers. Using Cloudinary you can use these same technologies today, in your website or blog, without any hassle. Simply direct all your images to Cloudinary and they would be delivered to your visitors through Amazon’s powerful CDN network. You can even add alternative dimensions to your images’ URL and get your pictures in any desired size or perspective. All of this with minimum changes on your side.
