SEEKING WORK -- Content Writer Location: Bulgaria Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Maybe Technologies: Markdown, Latex, Microsoft Office, any CMS of your choice Email: axython AT gmail

I've worked with multiple startups and helped them improve their websites readability and increase user comprehension. I'd love to do that for you, too.

I've spent two years in Carlisle, UK for studies and I am back in Bulgaria for the moment. I design and write blog posts, website copies or technical documentation. Thanks to my life experience and current location I can provide great quality and affordable prices.

Shoot me an email, would love to help :)

I really, reallly wish there was an AdBlock software with a proper acceptable ads. Get a few people to inspect websites with lets say 10-20-30$(cheap for any website which actually wants to make money) application fee to cover the cost of the inspection and whitelist that website. OF course give us plain and precise information about what is acceptable with a few levels of control from the user, plus a button to report a website that is actually not doing good. Once you lose your privileges, you pay double/triple or more to apply again.

This is actually what I do for myself, have over 300 sites which i visit semi-occasionally, that have disabled ads because I like those websites and those ads are actually something worth my connection, a nice way to pay out to the website. If AdBlock had done this, I really believe it would have been so much better than as it is right now.

I really did not wanted to blame YC. My mention of them is mostly because they are the biggest incubator, so people who get in should have at least minimum amount of marketing skills. They literally make fool of themselves in front of their main "customers" and apparantly we are still talking about one of the cofounders. You are trying to run companies worth millions and do such stupid mistakes, it is just beyond understanding for me.

Can anyone please explain to me why a YC company is making such a terrible name for themselves at a website which is literally FULL with people, who they should aim at building positive image with. I am pretty sure that over 70% of their users have at least a username in this community. I hardly have ever seen a worse way to respond to a marketing crisis.

edit: Now the answer of the co-founder(you can find it below) is way better and it should have been the first reaction to this post. Hopefully there can be a happy result to both sides.

Something like a wysiwig editor. I didn't tried markdown, but it didn't look like supporting it. Small change was pretty easy to make but I didn't play with bigger changes or dropping something more heavy.

I guess we will see when the demo is back online or you can install it somewhere to try it out. It looked pretty good.

Android? And also your About page is not working. Otherways seems like a nice idea, it really depends on the type and quality of the content which is provided :)

Good luck with it :)

Big phones --> Smaller Phones --> Smaller Phones --> We have the technology to show NSFW content on the phones --> The screens start to become bigger and bigger.

Coincidence?

One of my goals for the next few years in my life is building a proper personal knowledge system, combined with everything that is needed for something like that to work. Mostly online, but there might be access from desktop/mobile apps. Included system like Anki. Wiki-like website for everyone with good tagging/linking between each posts. You can then make each piece of content accessible for everyone, behind a password or just accessible for you. Additional features like daily journal, todos, short/long range goals, asking you for permission to open all your content to the public if something happens to you/or you decide to not pay(small monthly charge for hosting and maintenance), of course if you want you are free to not allow that.

I feel a lot of people on HN have great and organized knowledge system and open sourcing the system with the knowledge/the knowledge part is important/ would be great. Of course it will take some time and effort, but I would love to have access to such system of some users like patio11 for example and gladly will pay money for something like that.

P.S Feel free to copy the idea, I am pretty sure that it is not unique anyways, though I am not aware of something that has done a good job in this area. Think of it like an open source knowledge system with a hosted version.

He is not demanding. He is pleading/asking politely. "Please". It is totally up to you whether you want to do what he asks for you.

Granted, I agree with you to a point and I don't see any reason you are downvoted/beside the obvious "don't be so negative" point, though I will upvote you, I feel this conversation is important/. At the same time it is extremely easy for you to use these articles/posts even in your CV and in building in your brand. Of course, you might not need that, but there are still a lot of uses including showing them to your future kids or thinking about how your writing changed someones live.

Leave that, there are specific content, which I have no issues being behind a paywall. You might put it behind a paywall/e-book/, show me that your content is useful to me, I will pay you in a heartbeat. Of course this is something that will take even more time.

To your point above spending time with new things or friends/family/working, I don't think that the author wanted you to stop doing them. Again he is asking you politely, do that if you have free time AND you are willing to help some complete strangers online. It is not something everyone would want to do and this is completely okey.

The issue with Excel is that it is extremely easy to use and is widely popular, especially for new companies as it is available to anyone with an Office plan, which is available on almost any Windows computer with very few exceptions. So when it comes to that a new business will rarely use something more complex and more expensive in the short term, they just prefer to use the Microsoft Office programs.

This is something I have mey a lot, including in the hotel/restaurant niche, where I work. All of them use it exactly because it is easy and is insanely powerful even for newbies. On the other hand at a certain point they start to learn about the negatives of it and an application that will do what they did in Excel in a proper way, is very easy sell.

Oh, about that... Pandas is great!!!
