   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Decodo, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

• Show HN: Linkpreview, see how your sites looks in social media and chat apps

  That's pretty cool! Get ready to keep these up to date monthly or become obsolete quickly. One of the downsides of tools like this is that your URL needs to be available online so if there's an issue, your iteration loop is quite long. In Polypane [1] I've built social media previews that work with any local URL but also let you overwrite that URL for the social media that display those. I built (and frequently... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
