    I’ve always found it funny how simple feedback widgets end up as $20–$30/month products. The tech is dead simple, infra is cheap, and most of us here could rebuild one in a weekend. So as a “principle experiment” I built my own today as a side project and priced it at 1 dollar. Just because if something is cheap to run and easy to replicate, it should be priced accordingly, and it’s also fun marketing. 1$ feedback tool. Shipped today, got the first users/moneys today, writing this post today. Side Sunday project, then back to the main product tomorrow.

    Hi HN, A while ago I had a mildly depressing realization. Back in 2010, I had around $60k. Like a "responsible" person, I used it as a down payment on an apartment. Recently, out of curiosity, I calculated what would have happened if I had instead put that money into NVIDIA stock. I should probably add some context. For over 10 years I've worked as a developer on trading platforms and financial infrastructure. I made a rule for myself - never trade on the market. In 2015, when Bitcoin traded about 300 usd, my brother and I were talking about whether it was a bubble. He made a bold claim that…

    Hey HN! Today my cofounder Max and I are launching the beta version of Cent — a question-and-answer service that allows answerers to make money, and curious individuals with a need for knowledge a way to get quick answers on anything that comes to mind. When a user asks a question on Cent, they place an ETH bounty on the question as well. The higher the bounty, the more the network is incentivized to answer you clearly and concisely, providing you more valuable information for your inquiry due to the additional monetary incentive. Users then vote on which answer(s) they determine to be…
