  1. Did anyone notice how Cursor wasn’t an early tester? I wonder why…
  2. After using remnote for months, I eventually switched to Mochi (Anki, but prettier). My personal experience was:

    - it has a clunky and complicated UI: interactions with blocks/line was clunky on mobile and web.

    - The table UI for showing your cards, can also be very limiting.

    - Converting blocks to cards by adding `<==>` is an ingenious idea.

    - The use of "AI" is really over-rated.

  3. I strongly empathise with your situation. The definition of security and success in south asian countries is wildly different from that in the West. I’m 28 and I moved to the UK, 3 years ago. I did a bunch of open-source work and found an employer who hired me based on my contributions and was willing to sponsor my visa. Other than going to university, open-source contributions are the only option people like us to move to the West.

    I understand why you feel like everything is chaotic. But, remember that most people don’t have the kind of time you have (you are only 19 and can afford to take a lot of risks). There maybe many things that are not in your favour, but you also have things that give you an advantage over others. I didn’t even know HN existed until I was 24. Ignore the chaos, focus on yourself. Apna time ayega.

  4. I often do this by reading the bio of different HN commenters or X (aka, stalking) and adding the RSS feed to my news reader app (or, bookmarking).
  5. This is so well-designed! Love it!
  6. I would recommend The Power Law[1], especially if you don't have any exposure to the startup/VC ecosystem. Contrary to what should be the ideal case, a founder needs to cater to VCs and their perspective of looking at products, just as they must cater to users.

    I feel like I would have saved myself a lot of stupid conversations if I had the context this book provides.

  7. - social media -> are.na, posts.cv

    - shots (camera app for ios)

  8. This is a super interesting demo.

    Adding articles to Zenfetch separately every time, seems quite inconvenient. Allowing users to sync articles from different RSS feeds (say Newsblur), or their reading app libraries (such as Omnivore/Pocket) seems like a good solution to this problem.

    Great job!
