FaangSupport – Easing Access to FAANG Customer Support

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN! I'm building it. It's not uncommon to see complaints on HN about users being locked out of their Faang/Fortune 500 accounts, primarily by automated systems at these companies, and yet the provided support channels do not help. In Fact, one of these days, HN has become an unofficial support channel for…

  I asked an HN member for feedback and she blew my mind2010 · slideshare.net · ▲453

  A few days ago, I responded to a comment by bloggergirl offering to read anyone's web copy and help. I shot off an email hoping for a paragraph or two of feedback on my startup's copy. Instead I received a professional, detailed deck of tons of invaluable well thought out feedback. It must have taken her an entire afternoon. Here's a link to it: http://www.slideshare.net/shereefb/recommendations-for-bettermeans To top it off, this isn't someone with a lot of free time on her hands, she's only days away from launching her own startup (page99test) This community blows my mind!

  Hey HN We loaded a BigQuery dataset of all of Hacker News, every comment, story and user, into camelAI. You can ask questions like: • “When does dang tend to comment during the day?” • “Which domains have gained the most submissions since 2015, year-over-year?” • “How has average comment length changed each January since 2007?” • “Top five users who link to arXiv papers the most.” It's behind a log-in to prevent abuse but free to use for 10 messages. No payment info required. We use OpenAI o3 or Claude sonnet 3.7 for the agent which can be really expensive. Would love feedback especially…

  Hi HN! made a vibe coding platform with the non-technical user in mind. This means that you don’t have to integrate Supabase, Auth0, it’s automatic. Our goal is to soon also provide email, payments, and other integrations automatically. We target SMB owners and entrepreneurs. We will differentiate by talking non-technical, hide code most of the time, friendly consumery UX and support Made pricing also simpler: 1 credit = 1 prompt (drives me nuts when in other platforms you don’t know what you’re paying for) Would love any thoughts!

  Soliciting post placement on Hacker News2022 · ▲11

  Hey, HN -- I just received the following email and I'm not sure what to do about it. Obviously I want to discourage requested-posting like this; is there some structured way that we can do that? One of the things I love about HN is how high the signal-to-noise ratio is relative to...pretty much the rest of the internet. I wouldn't ordinarily call someone out like this, but I want to innoculate HN against this sort of thing. ---- Hey doches, Not sure if it's conventional, but thought I'd ask anyway. Would you be open to posting about my product on Hacker News? I understand that similar to…

  Show HN Aftermath: Releasing Followords.com this morning2012 · ▲12

  This morning I've submitted our project to HN. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4099054 Got pretty helpful feedback. But that wasn't the only thing. 478 people requested invite out of 755. 63% conversion rate. Almost 9K unique visitor visited our website. At some point in the morning I was seeing 400+ active users on the website. Unbelievable. 35 people registered without telling them how to register. ( You cannot register directly, there is only a login form - but they figured out a way :) http://imgur.com/Kbf9J 6K people visited directly from Hacker News, 1K from Twitter ( I guess…

  I Built an AI PM So You Can Stop Updating Tickets2025 · usevectra.com · ▲9

  Hi HN, When I was in FAANG, I despised ticketing. I was always the eng that refused to update. Then when I was a tech lead, I had the pain of pinging everyone for updates because they hated it too. Things would go out of date, and then no one would really know if we were on track. We also had little visibility into what the team was doing outside of pinging/standups. So I made an AI that looks at every commit you push and updates tickets for you. It can create tickets if there isn't one, update, leave comments, tag associated commits etc... Basically, it's an "AI Board Babysitter" so…

  Hacker News user blogroll▲937

  I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
