Do you think there is a market for an extension/service that allow you to browse any site in a lite version?(not by just blocking all optional files...but by adapting the site automatically)


That sort of exists in Firefox with its built-in reader mode[0].

[0]: https://www.howtogeek.com/352267/how-to-use-the-reader-view-... (used this one instead of the official Mozilla one, since this one shows what reader mode looks like.)


Reader Mode is really best-suited for longform article consumption, IMO. So reading an individual article in CNN works well in Reader Mode, but you wouldn't want to necessarily browsing the whole site that way. I'm not sure it would even work.

(EDIT: Nope. Front page doesn't even show the option. I believe Firefox expects some kind of meta tag to let it know that the page in question has a clearly-defined article/content body.)


>If you’re getting your bang for buck on it as a consumer (and I know I am), then moral arguments are useless. As with all things the market makes the ultimate decisions, not the individual.

You could use the same train of thought for Soylent Green.


I actually tried launching that last year lol, I had a similar code to OP(except I was more thinking about sending jokes or meditation videos)

The conversion rate of the landing page were very low so I didn't go further


I'm curious, were you actually making true friends at work? or was it just people who were nice enough to make it easier to spend the whole day working?

I've never met someone I could remotely call a friend as an employee.

I made a few friends when I was in college, but absolutely none at work.


That's not the question, I'm aware of that.

I'm not asking what it knows I'm asking what it does.


" the blockchain is now reinventing software development. "

what is it reinventing exactly? how to handle data as inefficiently as possible?


Is this yours or did you shamelessly stole it? https://github.com/jserv/facebooc it's mentioned in a comment in the source code of your site


Yes, it's a fork from the project of Prof. Jserv. Then I'm adding some other features, like comment system, photo storage, etc. Since it's under BSD license.


Paul Graham knocks on your door and congratulate you, before giving you a $1 million dollar check, equity-free, for your new startup.


That bastard. He only gave me $125,000, but to be fair he did say my wife was quite attractive “for her age”.


statistics are saying that caffeine users are less productive

but statistics are only part of the story


I mostly quit a year ago: Less anxious, less insomnia, less diarrhea, less headaches when I don't have caffeine.

Didn't seem to affect me negatively in any area.

The only times when I used caffeine in the past year was when I was sleep deprived(I rarely am now), and in that case modafinil is way more effective.
