• Bluesky's active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app

  My problem is usually that I bookmark in the app, but then forget about the bookmarks as they are in the walled garden. I've built something for that a few years ago (https://getbirdfeeder.com) that just sends me my Bluesky (And X, Mastodon etc.) bookmarks straight to my email inbox once a month. - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

• Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting

  I've recently built some project that also supports Nostr (https://getbirdfeeder.com, but more for the fun of playing with Nostr) but it feels very forced to use it for something like that. It feels like it's solving an issue that no team chat ever has. > Buzz is built around a self-hostable Nostr relay. Every message, reaction, workflow step, code event and approval is stored as a cryptographically signed event.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)

  I'm building a Twitter (X), Bluesky, Nostr and Mastodon bookmark reminder and manager called https://getbirdfeeder.com. It's a project I've released many years ago but had to shut down during the X API changes. I've now revived it and supported more services. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• It's OK to abandon your side-project

  I always had a hard time with that and kept things running for too long as putting additional work into shutting something down when you already lost interest is a hard sell. Now I usually just add a static landing page, some screenshots how it looked like and turn of the backend (Example: https://getbirdfeeder.com) which makes me feel better about it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)

  I’m working on supporting photo posts on my blog (Kirby), I bought a new camera and thought it would be nice to share them in one place (Cross post to Mastodon). I’m still looking for a new SaaS idea, so if you have something you want to partner on do reach out. Preferably Rails or Go. Previously I built stuff like https://getbirdfeeder.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Nearly 3M Teslas recalled in China over hidden door handles

  Good move. There's an interesting old article on the door handles here: > https://medium.com/@arunchidambaram/is-teslas-door-handle-an-over-kill-21e42756f58e In aerodynamic terms, door handles are nbd compared to side mirrors. Mirrors account for 6% of a car's aerodynamic drag. Door handles: roughly 0.2%. Basically they make no difference -- their effect is a rounding error -- and they were implemented for... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• MiniageOS: "Dumbphone" Version of LineageOS

  First of all, did you disable the calculator? This app is an amazing feat of intellect, and should be retained due to its fundamental worth of ingenuity. https://medium.com/@jnebos/the-humble-android-calculator-4f139e8b1699 Second, the kernel itself presents attack surfaces. It is important to accept updates, when they are offered. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Felony Bench

  >so is it a white matriarchal system oppressing men and minorities No, obviously it isn't a matriarchal system. Patriarchy can and does oppress men as well as women.
