With imgur, you can just right-click and hit `Save video as...` in both Chrome/Firefox (even without manually adding their ".gifv" extension)

Twitter though, doesn't seem possible

Why do they do that kind of thing? If anything, you might expect them to include less RAM & storage so that you're forced to work under tighter limitations.

Can you elaborate on this please?

I posted one of your share links into our Slack, and was really impressed with the image it found (your `meta property="og:image"`) & attached in the rich snippet! Nice work!

Regarding the avatar images:

Why not a <div> with a border-radius & background color? Seems you could achieve the same thing without another HTTP request (1 for each unique avatar), no need to zopfli 45,000 unique files.

You and I are kindred spirits.

I feel it's getting worse. A large % of the links (mostly start-ups landing pages, not articles) I click on HN just present me with a completely blank white page. No <noscript>, nothing! If you're lucky, you see enough to realize that it's probably just a page that relies on JS. It's never a good first impression.

It's getting progressively more annoying to whitelist the TLD as well as the myriads of CDNs that sites are using. Often it's a click gamble: a "Temporarily allow sketchy.domain.com", throwing in the towel and saying "Temporarily allow all this site".

Site embeds a video? Good luck picking which domain to whitelist out of a list of 35 different domains ;) Temporarily allow one, reload, repeat a few times, close tab in anger and disappointment.

Keep building it. Especially if it interests you. It interested you enough to start it in the first place! Just don't build it with the expectation that you'll garner fame or fortune.

I imagine a lot of people could use some kind of OSS sentiment detection, even if it's not perfect.
