Private Messages for Hacker News Users
Hello HN, motivated by meet.hn[1], i've built hn-pm.me, a platform just for Hacker News users to exchange direkt messages. (There is no official relation between my site and HN) My main motivation were two users talking about that some meet.hn users didn't provide any means of contact information. Maybe they didn't want to be contacted, maybe they didn't want to share any of their social media profiles. That's why i built hn-pm.me, where you can register only with your HN username and _a_ password (not your HN password!) and start receiving messages from other HN users. Passwords are safely…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello HN, motivated by meet.hn[1], i've built hn-pm.me, a platform just for Hacker News users to exchange direkt messages. (There is no official relation between my site and HN) My main motivation were two users talking about that some meet.hn users didn't provide any means of contact information. Maybe they didn't want to be contacted, maybe they didn't want to share any of their social media profiles. That's why i built hn-pm.me, where you can register only with your HN username and _a_ password (not your HN password!) and start receiving messages from other HN users. Passwords are safely encrypted with bcrypt. You can only register an account with your HN username! During the registration steps you have to put a code into your public HN about section to prove ownership of the provided username. You can simply remove this code after registration. Maybe put something like https://hn-pm.me/users/shreddit/message in your about section so other users can see you are available for pm. There is also a search function (for registered users) to search for other users. You don't want to receive messages from random HN users? You can set your message preferences to "friends only". Now only users you have approved a "friend request" can message you. - The "design" is heavily inspired by HN itself - there is no JS on the frontend - completely SSR - built with astrojs[2] - you can reset your password by just registering again. Feel free to message me on https://hn-pm.me PS: Yes, a ".hn" domain was too expensive. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41539125 [2] https://astro.build/

There's been lots of discussion recently about finding other HNers to talk to / bounce ideas off / work with, some Google spreadsheets were set up to share details but they were soon vandalised. I had a spare afternoon yesterday (which turned into a long day) and here's the result: http://www.hackernewsers.com/ It's only open to people with HN accounts, it lets you post your biography, location, skills etc. Anyway, I hope you like it and find it useful.
- FCFounder Chats – Connecting Hacker News Founder Community2019 · ▲37
Hi HN community! A huge number of startup founders are reading Hacker News, but it's still very hard to make new personal connections here and help each other with product building, growth, or fundraising. As an experiment to make HN founder community more connected, I've created a system of chat groups, organized by location, industry sector, and priority tasks. We were testing it out for the last couple of weeks, starting with 200+ YCombinator alum companies. Now already have 1000+ startups there, and 80+ venture investors have joined to connect with founders early. Many pitch practices…

- GLGet latest replies to an HN user2022 · github.com · ▲42
Hi HN, I hacked a simple service for gathering HN replies and organizing them by the parent's username. The main idea is to be able to efficiently get the latest replies to an HN user. For example, you can use this service to send yourself notifications when some replies to you on HN. The service queries the official HN API and can be self-hosted. It is basically ~30 lines of Bash script. I made this mostly for educational purposes -- thought you might find it useful for something. Cheers! Edit: for example, here are the latest replies to me [0]. It includes only recent replies, since I…
