• Concept of Anyfund: Gratitude Funds for Charity

  Another possibility for Anyfund could be to allocate its funds exclusively for charitable purposes. Maybe we could have 100% eco-friendly Anytype merch? Imagine the fascination of observing community-driven charitable endeavors and sustainable initiatives, reflecting our commitment to a nurturing & open future. This could be inspired by the "noble" apps, of which I've personally used Ecosia, where the act of using... Source: about 1 year ago

• Why Firefox doesn't launch their own Private search engine ?

• Tulsa Earth Day Celebration at the Guthrie Green (Friday-Sunday)

  I literally just copy and pasted this information, but I for one am excited about Earth Day; I look forward to it every year. Also, since we're on this topic, ecosia.org is a search engine that plants trees with the ad revenue they generate (they're a carbon negative company!). Source: about 1 year ago

• Is this censorship or is the site just broken?

  If you go to ecosia.org or qwant.com on any mobile browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.,.) and search for ghandi you also get no results. Its only when the search query ends in ghandi, for example "ghanid date of birth" returns results fine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell

  Https://wishy.gift - A privacy friendly wishlist service, made for my SO after she got 4 thermoses for Christmas a year and only needed 1. Costs ~$30/mo, but is used by my entire extended family, which makes it all worth it :). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?

  My SO got 4 thermoses for Christmas one year, so I decided to build a simple wishlist service[0] to prevent it happening again. Launched it 6 years ago, and since then it's been used by friends, family and myself for all Christmas and birthdays - so I consider it a huge success. In addition to already being a success for me personally, it's growing organically, and last year really picked up the pace when I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

  I created a privacy-friendly wishlist service (https://wishy.gift/) for my SO, and as long as she and my family uses it, it's a success for me. Going from ~1k to ~5k users during 2021 was a lot of fun, but it's the close circle that really counts :). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Alexa leaks your private wishlists

  I run a simple, free and privacy-friendly wishlist service[0] that's been around for a couple of years now, and I don't even keep your e-mail address[1]. It's been exciting to see the user count go from ~500 to ~2500 the last year. Any feedback and feature requests are much appreciated :) [0] https://wishy.gift/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
