Congratulations on the release, is there a plan to opensource it? I've been using https://snapify.it/, it's opensource but I haven't been able to selfhost it.

Thank you pratio! I quit my job and this is my full time gig now. I've got about three years of runway, so if I can't get it to PMF soon--then yes and I'll move on to something else.

I'm super passionate about this though. Totally up my alley as a Dev and aspiring Growth Hacker, Product Marketing Manager.

The idea is to build a tool and use it to grow itself.

Also, anyone want to talk offline about anything at all, please contact me at [email protected]

Hey! Great product you released. Don't feel pressured by the people asking you to release everything for free, it's a terrible strategy to create a profitable business.

Ha thanks for your vigilance owebmaster. I can see your support on some of the other comments! It's just the venue though, and I would expect nothing less. The fact that HN didn't shit all over it is a big enough bar for me for now ;-)

You can do that, just select everything and then type your text. It works :) but I feel you

Yes I thought of that after posting and edited it in :) But not being able to delete everything in a text box is really bothering me. It's like an itch :)

Thanks for the comment! I actually just fixed this—it’s something I was aware of but had been putting off. I really appreciate you pointing it out. It might seem like a small thing, but you're absolutely right that little details like this matter a lot. Thanks again for taking the time to mention it :)

Thank you I am finally at peace :D

Peace :D :O :)

I have settled on https://readeck.org/ it's absolutely brilliant. It supports postgres and a service with systemd. omnom looks promising, will keep an eye on it.

My dream tool allows me to create snapshots from either mobile or desktop browser, then read and highlight on my Android eInk reader or phone, then export my highlights and notes into Logseq...all without collecting all my data and selling it to advertisers (which basically leaves me with FOSS tools).

Omnivore was as close as I've ever gotten to this dream, even though their Android app wasn't great and certainly didn't have an "eInk pagination" option, but Readeck is at least giving me some hope again once Omni sold out.

I encourage you to check out my app ;)

Your app looks really and the website is also cool but Readeck and Omnom are both selfhosted bookmark managers. A cool app is good to have but not a requirement.

Use readeck, too. It’s exactly what I need, the only feature I miss is not being able to add arbitrary comments to text passages.

looks nifty, but does it do snapshotting?

It also does highlighting which is absolutely amazing. No need to save an entire page just for a piece of text. Also, you can have opds for ebooks.

Yes it does. Also written in Go and pretty hackable.

the only factor that's stopping me from moving to readeck is a lack of import functionality for evernote bookmarks. otherwise, i'd be 100% on readeck.

Are these pirated streams? You pick the best available source? The UI and everything happening under the hood seems very seamless.

Yes it picks the best available source then it also looks for subtitle and if those fail it has a couple fallbacks too

+1 for hyperdx, I'm testing it and love it.

author here, just wanted to chime in that I really appreciate the kind words about what we've been building :)

Congratulations on the release. While I echo the sentiments from others that screenshots or a video would've been very useful, the signup works without an email confirmation which is great, so I was able to see how the interface looks like. It has a very linear like feel https://linear.app/.

- If you could deploy a demo that doesn't require a signup/sign in, it'll make things a lot easier. You can reset it every x hours.

- The feature list is empty as I can't see what it offers or a comparison to other tools.

- After creating a task, I can't edit it.

Project management is very complicated and there's different groups of users, which one is yours? Those who need a full fledged jira with sso? they won't self host and won't care if it's open source. Small shops that need something cheap? Hobbyists or students?

I'm selfhosting vikunja https://vikunja.io/ at the moment. Opensource and supports my selfhosted sso.

Once again kudos on releasing and opensourcing it.

> Those who need a full fledged jira with sso? they won't self host and won't care if it's open source.

Not necessarily true. Id like to replace jira in an enterprise environment and we do need sso and prefer to self host.

What's stopping you moving to self hosted?

Jira used to be self hosted, dunno if they still are, but this space for a self hosted enterprise product is already pretty saturated so you should have lots of options.

For those like me who want know how the page was built. It's using https://githubnext.com/projects/flat-data/. You can cycle through commits and files. Love it.

Example of another such pages: https://flatgithub.com/the-pudding/data?filename=boybands%2F...

It felt a bit like datasette and no wonder it's the inspiration as well

I struggled for some time how to maintain data in repository. Initially stored them in a JSON files (1k per file). This, eventually, became tedious.

In the end I just redistribute SQLite file now with the data. It is easier for the "user" to use ready database than a set of files.

thanks for this, can't believe I've never come across it. I've been building git scraping tools for years, but didn't know it was a popular pattern

You're not wrong about the pricing but based on what you see here https://www.shopify.com/pricing?country=us&lang=en

The $1000 plan covers a lot more than just an online store with a code. There's also a POS included, integrations with third party payment providers etc. Not everyone needs the most expensive plan. Also, the value of a Shopify subscription is not in the code to host an online shop but the ease of use with which someone can sell their wares online.

Yes, they do own the code but the question for most people using it is, do we need to own that code? Do we need to maintain it? or can we just focus on selling?

If someone stops paying Shopify, they still own the products that they were selling online, they can import an excel sheet on some another online store, upload the images and start selling. As long as they own the ___domain, selling on another platform would be easy.

This doesn't seem to be a Shopify competitor in any reasonable way, I can say that because I used to work for a competitor before we were bought by a larger company.

The traditional development time that you list on the page is not involved when building a basic Shopify site. There's online payment integrations, localisation support, shipping integrations etc.

I agree. My iPhone usage is mainly to check email/whatsapp/calendar and my banking apps. Rarely take pictures or record videos.

Since my company uses exchange, email and calendar cannot be accessed outside the outlook app, not even by the iOS widgets which renders them next to useless for me.
