For me, this is not gonna be a daily driver but more of the one off screenshot browser so that my screenshots look super minimal with no popular browser shell in them :)

it's weird how the web ui doesn't show the latest flash options while the desktop/mobile apps update the same day as the release. I saw the model in the model selection (by coincidence) before seeing it show up on HN

would some Casio/watch expert know if it's possible to replace the face plate on these watches? I love the simplicity but I don't like all the text outside the watch itself like "Step tracker" and "Water Resist".

Due to the recent Github outages, I've slowly started moving to Gitlab, they've been around longer and seem to have a decent track record.

I moved to using Fastmail as my primary over 7 years ago and I still use it as my main email address but I had hoped I could get rid of my gmail but instead it became a catch-all junk inbox similar to OP's gmail. The main issue is that so many websites use Login in with Google as a way to sign-in that I just had to keep my gmail logged in most of the time.

So instead of "moving away from Gmail to Fastmail" it's more like "using Gmail and Fastmail" for me.

my name's Muhammad Usman, let me tell you, there are 1000s of us out there if not more. It's very hard to get a username without numbers on any site except somehow I got it on HN :D

moving off of Ghost to an astro blog b/c I don't write often enough to justify a $110/year fee and I also found out there's no way to moderate spam comments.

kinda off topic but since you're an expert here: what do people do with these uncut sheets? Is it mainly for collectors?

also, my favorite form of getting currency is $2 bills in a 100 stack (so $200) from the bank. I used to use these for gift money on holidays :) but unfortunately my credit union doesn't order new stacks anymore, just jumbled up old $2 bills now.

I'm happy with my mix of Urdu + English accent, I got an 80% on Urdu which seems about right. I am impressed by this and now I'd like to hear others and how well it matches their voice. Although, I don't need coaching or anything to remove my accent, it makes me me.

Don't use the term "hunt" in the name, to me it just screams "dupe" instead of something unique. Go the route of improving what PH has and adding things that are missing.

Some ideas: - Users should be able to update their post to some extent.

- There's no "product page" in your app, build something where I can see people commenting, reacting, and maybe even sharing their own screenshots of it because that's something PH does pretty well but can be improved.

- "LAUNCHES WORTH YOUR SCROLL" sounds kinda cringe, change to something like "Find the next best thing" or make it random on load and have a few less in your face versions of it. Reddit has "homepage of the internet" which seems appropriate. You can have "have you launched yet?", "find the next best thing", "what's trending today"...etc

I have more ideas, feel free to message me or drop a way to contact you if you'd like more feedback :)
