New comment by itsevrgrn in "Show HN: CSS Studio. Design by hand, code by agent"

itsevrgrn — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:56:55 +0000

A bunch of comments are complaining about how it's crazy that this is $99 or that they'll vibe code a free version this weekened. I've tried to make a similar tool for myself that let's me change CSS values live without talking to the agent and it made me appreciate the hundreds of invisible details that figma, framer, paper, etc. get right when building a visual canvas editor. I spent 6 hours going back and forth with claude just to get the editor to feel somewhat usable for editing existing front end work.

Would you be willing to accept applications for frontend interns with previous work experience on a React team?

I like the way you designed your website!

Ask HN: Are interviews for iOS roles less focused on algorithms?

itsevrgrn — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 21:11:03 +0000

I love building software, but I'm terrible at the leetcode stuff. If I interview for iOS roles, will there be less of a focus on my ability to invert a binary search tree on a whiteboard?

This website is missing a subscription gate. How am I able to view the site if I'm not a member!?

Amazon needs to improve the way it ranks products. I think it is unfortunate that, once a company gets a good grasp on market share, they blatantly disregard the user experience.

Examples: Pinterest/ Quora subscription gate

excited to see how we are able to connect with other founders. This is something I have wanted for a long time.

Am I the only one who finds this ironic coming from the top tech incubator in the world?

I'm in the same boat. I wonder what some of the people who apply for the hell of it could do if they were joined together to make a company. There are a ton of really talented people on here.

Wow, I can't believe you got rejected. Email and ask for feedback on your application as mentioned above.

Ask HN: What is the YC/ HN for making physical goods?

I've seen YC fund a few founders who are starting a brand, but it is certainly not common. Does anyone know if this exists?

> That is, it's all wide open if you know where to look

I believe you are right. My whole point is that I am surprised that process is not easier.

I don't think that is necessarily true. You might be able to tell using information from a data broker like Acxiom or search engine data that people are not satisfied with the current options for buying LED strips, for example.

I think your comments have serious merit. That being said many people are focused on building a faster horse that nobody even wants. Isn't it strange that this is still a thing?

What I am saying is that the "deeper insights about what people really want/need (based on their words and/or observed actions)" aren't really that deep when you consider the amount of information available. Its surprising to me that people like you and me rely on people's claims to develop a hypothesis and test ideas. Shouldn't it be easy to get insights on a large portion of the population?

On the bottom of Y Combinator's website, it says "Make something people want." There are troves of data about the American consumer and information about people's desires is so public and easy to obtain. Why is there no easy way to figure out what people want so you can just focus on building said thing?

Ask HN: What payment platforms allow for groups with an admin?

I am building an app that allows people to pay for a group they are a member of. What is the easiest way to set this up and allow the admin to keep track of who has paid?
