No genius. Just too much time on this site :)

They are indeed everywhere, but it's possible you don't have a need for them. For example, every time you buy something online using Stripe, the seller receives a webhook indicating that a purchase was completed.

Uhhh apart from OP I don’t see anyone commenting on the content quality?

Also OP didn’t even praise the content. They said it “seems interesting.”

I am 95% sure Claude came up with the design. It has all the tell-tale signs like the all-caps bold letter-spaced microcopy (See the orange "Sharpen your AI fundamentals" on the landing page.) Many card-like elements with a colored border on one side only. The italic serif font as subtitle. Etc. That being said I'm not judging. It's competently done.

I also put the content of a workshop into an LLM detector and it said 100% of the text was likely AI generated.

I'd just like the author to disclose how much of the content is entirely LLM-generated.

The design is similar to what Claude generates. Makes me skeptical that all the content is AI-generated.

Sounds interesting. Can you elaborate? You got acquired one year into doing business for 100M+? Impressive

Not the exact scenario you described, but there has been an instance on the Snap store where someone uploaded a crypto wallet management program and it was actually stealing keys.

Yeah you’re a bit confused. Supabase has nothing to do with frontend other than providing SDKs and some frontend components to integrate with their backend.

You don’t adopt an unofficial fork just because it exists. Showing up with a clone isn’t the same as meeting the standards required to be part of the original project

It sounds like BS. Guy’s done it all if you believe his resume.

If you’d actually installed it and realized afterward that you’d been misled, whether by someone who doesn’t understand trademarks or someone acting in bad faith, you’d probably feel differently. Leaving a comment on HN in that situation is a pretty reasonable reaction.

Me neither. So far all I see is a puny "[Updated]" title on the article with no apology or indication of what was updated.

A malicious actor would be happy to be publicly labeled inexperienced/naive.

The disclaimer he put up on the website is comical. "In coordination with [original author], I will be _evolving the brand_ to …"

Smart. Good on you for noticing it wasn’t the real website.

FFS. I installed it after seeing it here on HN and on MacRumors. Terrible failure on my part but MacRumors should offer an apology for endorsing this fake release.

As someone whose first introduction to dungeon crawler was Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (with tiles), thank you! I just tried the 3D version and it runs very well.

I built a MacOS-native app [1] to control Positive Grid Spark amps [2], without needing a phone.

Official app is mobile-only and clunky, and the workflow is awkward if you're sitting at a desk. Hardest part has been maintaining compatibility across amp models. Small protocol changes or optimizations I make for one amp can break another. That means I have to do a lot of manual testing before every release. So I'm trying to think of an emulation layer or test harness I can build to make my life easier. Happy to hear suggestions there.

About ~50 people are using it so far, and main feedback has been that it's much faster and more reliable than the official app.

As always when I see a post like this, I try to reproduce it, and have a completely different experience:

``` Q: I need to wash my car. The carwash is 50m away. Should I walk or drive? A: Drive — you need the car there anyway. ```
