A little bummed that this has nothing to do with the text editor SciTE.

Thanks, This was a super useful reply.

Edit: I can accept that kite plans can be on topic for HN. I also don't mean to stifle anyone's curiosity about kites or kite building.

I suppose I expected something more akin to "Kite Plans, Experiments, Observations, and Results that SoAndSo ran" or "Specific Kite Plan and Notes" to be linked on HN.

If you're new to kites, good news, it's a lot more fun than it should be.

--- Original Post: I am confused, why this link is on HN?

I enjoy kites and have used this site before, but what makes it worth the front page of HN? It's nothing new, their site hasn't really changed in years, and it is somewhat off topic.

Was the poster just fired up about kites? Am I missing something?

And then he collects his affiliate commission and doesn't care what you do!

I didn't find this article very thought-provoking or useful. A developer with an interest in entrepreneurship would have come to the same conclusion - "Should I use my skills to build a business? Yes"

Instead, the article seems to be a vehicle to collect affiliate commissions.

That's neat. Do you get a lot of people using it and signing up?

Looks like it's working now - nice recovery!

Just a note on twitter - it looks like there is a false positive for the availability of 'wood'

There isn't an (obvious) account with that name, but twitter doesn't let me register it. I don't know if it is a blocked keyword or private or what.

I'm a fan of namevine. I use it when I'm brainstorming projects or figuring out names.

As for a pro feature - I think that notification when something becomes available or a domain/account marketplace might be useful.

How do you get the pictures transferred to the pi?

I like this. I've been thinking about a lot about software to help improve workshop efficiency or to design interesting things.

The arrow keys move it. Not quite automatic but easier than the mouse.
