Your tool is valuable. It can help engineers or marketers with limited aesthetic sense quickly simulate the feel of colors.

However, your product has some flaws, and the light green base tone it uses doesn't allow me to accurately test the desired effect. Use more neutral color mood instead, I recommend.

Agree

AI is helping us playing hide and seek with infomation

Really interesting.

It's easy to get tired of seeing static lucide icons everywhere. It's refreshing to see something different.

Agree, best link today. Toss in random cat facts, a tiny CLI, and sane rate limits, and I’ll cron a daily cat without nuking the service.

Excellent idea. I thought this might be helpful to me, as I often need to switch between different SaaS products to view data.

I tried your AnyPanel, and although it lacked onboarding, I figured out how to use it after a few minutes.

My rough suggestion: Could you provide a faster way, such as using the npm/pnpm SDK, so I can send metrics data with just one line of code, like:

```import Sender from anypanel `const sender = New Sender() ```sender.record( 'user', users ) ```

Gotta say the Shared Memory approach is genius. Finally someone's cutting down the clunky back-and-forth.

Sounds cool! How's it different from what's already out there? Can't wait to play around with it.

fascinating! Have you considered adding more countries for comparison to provide a broader perspective?

A really cool experiment! And also a very interesting visualization tool.

Vibe Coding is very convenient for creating this kind of content, especially in Gemini 3 Pro mode.

I think you could have the Agent add some color adjustment sliders to the tool, and then add a "Download" button so that others can export the content from the canvas with one click.

I love it. I saw a comment in this thread saying that adding animation to a chart is pointless.

However in some public speeches, I've always wanted to add some cool charts to attract attention. Especially at large events, a slightly different presentation can make my stuff stand out and gain more attention.

Your work has a nice launch here in HackerNews but no upvotes on ProductHunt, so I just voted there to support you

I love this product immediately after typing something in it. For the foreseeable future, I'll be using it as my first choice when I want to jot down anything.

I've used products like Evernote and Notion before. Sometimes I just want to write down a fleeting idea, but other products are becoming increasingly cumbersome and slow to launch.

However, if I'm going to subscribe a plan for it, I'd like some extra features, such as direct voice recording then speech to text or the ability to sketch directly on my phone.

I agree with most of your points.

You are absolutely right. This is the core spirit of "Forms Following Functions"

What lies beneath the surface of subjective aesthetics should be the functionality of information acquisition efficiency.

I've been working on UI/UX design since 2012, and have witnessed several major shifts in design styles.

I clearly remember the release of iOS7 (or maybe I'm mistaken) with its flat design in the summer of 2013. Users accustomed to the skeuomorphic style for years initially felt this change was terrible. However, within two months, people adapted to the change, and other companies' design teams were quickly following suit.

But this time is different. Even though Liquid Glass has been around for quite some time, looking at the screen on my Mac still makes me feeling unacceptable.

Really nice tool, Thank you! I had confronted some issues after cloned the repo and installed the node_modules. I'm using node.js v20, when I tried "node webclone.js --help" the terminal catch a error of "Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/fangyexu/Desktop/dev-s/_github/webclone/node_modules/yargs/index.mjs not supported."

Then I just throwed it to my Cursor and it help me solved the issue.

I love this concept, an AI-managed zettelkasten that actually closes the loop back into new sources. As the TODOs in end of your repo, I just humbly suggest that make "full text search" the top priority,enhancing discoverability and trustworthiness.

New comment by frankhsu in "It’s been a very hard year"

frankhsu — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 06:40:10 +0000

I agree that this year has been extremely difficult, but as far as I know, a large number of companies and individuals still made a fortune.

Two fundamental laws of nature: the strong prey on the weak, and survival of the fittest.

Therefore, why is it that those who survive are not the strong preying on the weak, but rather the "fittest"?

Next year's development of AI may be even more astonishing, continuing to kill off large companies and small teams unable to adapt to the market. Only by constantly adapting can we survive in this fierce competition.
