That was true. But actually, I think that's changed a few weeks ago since they introduced a API credit amount equivalent to your (eg. $100, $200) that will be used for such cases. So they don't ban you, they just bill you that allocated credit and then actual API cost.

Codex definitely does and Claude Max definitely doesn’t.

Show HN: Who built this website? Check any domain

hboon — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 07:52:17 +0000

I built a little tool that figures out who and what built a site. Just recently updated it.

e.g. https://whosbuilt.com/?domain=stripe.com

I applied recently but seems the automated system filtered me out automatically based on location (Singapore. I'd be happy to working overlapping timezones)

If it's not working, does pasting the absolute path work? Both works on macOS.

New comment by hboon in "Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy"

hboon — Wed, 06 May 2026 04:35:43 +0000

I was pleasantly surprised when I read the headline a few days ago. But it's only accessible through Stripe right? I'm simultanenously very concerned about the centralized control that Stripe gains (it's not going to be just access to Cloudflare) and also amazed at how Stripe is shaping to be. It was just a payment processor.

Still Smalltalk, but Dolphin Smalltalk which runs on Windows.

It was the best Windows app development too. You can write native Windows programs and it worked even better than Visual Studio for COM and ActiveX stuff.

I use Cloudflare Tunnel so most of the products I build are exposed and listed there. I just add comments for those that aren't exposed (eg. browser extension dev port) to that file too. A single doc means coding agents know to look there and keep it updated too.

I switched to Droid+Opus (with Claude Max) many months ago and it was my favorite combo.

Had to stop because they don't like us proxying requests anymore.

Doesn't using pi be against their terms of use about having to go through Claude Code cli for all Max plan usage? (I had use Droid with Max previously, it was a great combo).

> like , being able to pop a document open in your editor from the desktop?

There's a hackish way to do it by watching for Neovim command line commands that start with "/Users/" (change it if you are on other OS).

Your coding agent can probably hack something up based on:

`//Hackish supports drag and drop files into Neovim by examining when command line starts with "/Users/".`

New comment by hboon in "Show HN: To Local Time – paste "3pm JST" and see it in your timezone"

hboon — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:01:45 +0000

I built a little tool that converts times like "3pm JST" to your local time because launch directories always tell me that and I have to figure it out.
