> Whatever you think HN is, it isn't. People are not represented by a subdomain of an accelerator.

This is like something my racist grandmother says when I tell her a historical fact and she says you can’t tell me all plantation owners are racist because you didn’t meet them all or something similar ridiculous.

People can make statements from experience. Claiming HN doesn’t love blogs is out of touch.

The statement being made is not "HN doesn't love blogs".

The statement being made is "Very anti-HN thinking to be posted here."

Rather than present useless analogies, engage with what's actually been presented. I didn't ask about your grandmother.

hammyhavoc commented on ProofPage – a mini-landing page to avoid proving your skills to every new client   prof-page-landing.vercel.... · Posted by u/Georgii007

I often take freelance orders, and every time I have to prove to clients over and over again that I didn't "start yesterday."

Portfolios, cases, reviews, product links, tech stack — all this is already there somewhere, but scattered.

That's why I made a ProofPage, a simple trust page. You collect everything in one place: - in short, who are you - examples of works - reviews - links to GitHub, Dribbble, projects - and add the “I want to work with you” button

Here is the demo: [link] And here's the survey: [link] — I want to understand if it really helps others.

The product is super raw, now I'm just checking the demand. I will be grateful for any criticism.

Is this not just reinventing the utmost basic portfolio website of quarter of a century ago? Are people not already doing this with cheap or even free turn-key templates? Could probably have an LLM excrete one in minutes.

I get daily outreach from fly-by-night operations in other countries using LLMs and templates to crap out the above, complete with client logos and project examples that don't belong to them. Where is the "proof"?

If you're aiming at devs, why would they use this over the likes of GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages?

Probably ongoing support. It was no iPhone in terms of units sold.

hammyhavoc commented on Ask HN: A hassle-free chat-style email app    · Posted by u/sewitho
hammyhavoc · a month ago
I'd be content with even a browser extension in LibreWolf to style specific email threads, and past and future emails from specific senders as chat bubbles. Would need to strip the signatures of course. I find email threads really laborious to parse with lots of short messages from family members in group threads versus skimming through chat bubbles. Each sender would need a user-configurable chat bubble colour too.

I'm sure someone could probably vibe code a FOSS repo for this in an afternoon if it's as capable as the average comment here seems to claim (hasn't been my experience, but would love to solve a problem and be proven wrong).

hammyhavoc commented on How to Speed up WordPress Site in 2025   themedev.net/blog/how-to-... · Posted by u/Masuddev
Masuddev · a month ago
If your site takes longer than 3 seconds to load, you’re losing visitors. So, you need to speed up your WordPress site.

Website speed is one of the main things that engages your website visitors. A slow WordPress website can hold back your online growth, frustrate users, and drive potential customers away.

It not only creates a poor user experience but also hurts your SEO, increases your bounce rate, and lowers your website performance.

Search engines like Google now consider speed and Core Web Vitals as key ranking factors. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix can help you identify what’s slowing your site down and how to fix it.

That’s why optimizing your WordPress website for speed is no longer optional; it’s essential. From using the right hosting provider to installing a performance optimization plugin, there are several smart ways to improve load times.

That's a lot coming from someone who posted a link to a blog post that isn't even publicly available.

hammyhavoc · a month ago
As a Jew, I take great issue with calling this a "Holocaust" as not only is it inaccurate, it diminishes the meaning of the word for describing the state-sponsored murder of 6m+ Jews alone—and that's without even getting into the Romani Holocaust, disabled, gay community et al who were also murdered.

Yeah, this is why wikipedia is not a good resource and nobody should use it. Also why google is not a good resource, anybody can make a website.

You should only trust going into a library and reading stuff from microfilm. That's the only real way people should be learning.

Ah yes, the thing that told people to administer insulin to someone experiencing hypoglycemia (likely fatal BTW) is nothing like a library or Google search, because people blindly believe the output because of the breathless hype.

See Dunning-Kruger.

This can happen if you use the free model and not a paid deep research model. You can use a gpt model and ask things like , "how many moons does Jupiter have?" But if you want to ask, "can you go on the web a research the affects that chamical a has had on our water supply a cite sources?", you will need to use a deep research model.
hammyhavoc · a month ago
Why not do the research yourself rather than risk it misinterpreting? I FAFO'd repeatedly with that, and it is just horribly unreliable.
