Looks nice. Very wordy and boastful for such a simple message.

I'm working on marketing my dedicated game server host https://stratos.host - it's a simplified product compared to traditional companies, using a desktop app to detect games being launched.

Yeah, another issue I see with this is if people think this has any kind of sway with the police or their departments, they will be less likely to report bad police behavior to police departments. Really, if you want to increase accountability (without policy), advertising heavy usage of police department reporting mechanisms is the best you can do (and it ain’t much).

I’m personally not sure that is a factor for many users, a good web app is as good as a good native app on modern hardware

I guess it depends how you define many, but I’ll take a native application over HTML any day.

Many macbook developers do care if it's a native app or a battery draining chrome embedded app.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having a specialized CPU, OS & software to optimize battery usage.

that matters, at least to me. that makes me prefer Paw over Insomnia and Sublime/neovim-kitty over VSCode

I only want apps built with Electron or similar! Makes it easy for me to switch platforms, they get developed faster, they're easier for me to contribute to and they are infinitely more hackable.

Imagine optimizing your dev tools for battery life? As if I want to work on a single tiny screen all day...or in meetings, hotels, planes, trains...

Others do like to travel and be able to work without their battery dying within a couple hours.

If you like wasting your battery that's fine, but not the typical use case for someone with a portable device.

The screen size thing is a separate issue and alleviated by using screen switching gestures or a secondary screen using an iPad.

This looks awesome. Excited to see how this fits into the space!

That plus a keyword search for words like parked, parking, buy now, etc. Might have similar effectiveness!

Looks great! Doesn't seem to be very functional on mobile - at least not the homepage. I'll save this for later!

I'd love to see a new version of this in a little while with a few things reconsidered: 1. Portability is very important here, making it fold up small and be light 2. Simpler mechanism. Seems like it's too complicated to be easily adopted by many people. 3. Leveling, might be convenient to make it easy to level against the tree in both directions. Could integrate a level into the table itself.

I'll only work on V2 of this after I get some funding through a campaign. Why? I'm a coder by trade. I'm not going to gamble with R&D on the table concept, if I have to bootstrap it on my own. If I get the funding, I'll go full time on this, and I'll surely make it more portable. I have to experiment with 3D printed parts, I think. It can't be done with stuff out of Home Depot.

I've contributed and I wish you luck! Keep improving and I think this concept could be great. Might want to try advertising outside of HN though

Hi Clay, I saw -- thanks. I refactored it, and it's simple to carry now. I've posted an update with a pic, I think you are receiving those.

I came up with an idea of how to make it portable, and documented it on the campaign page. See section "Portability improvements."

I am hosting a website for a college organization on a DO droplet and managed postgres instance. Cost is fair but slightly more than offerings from Azure for example. DO has an incredible dashboard for being able to reset to backups and configure networking. I have yet to experience a reliability or performance problem that is noticable. Note that our use case is not high performance.

True but misleading. Natural gas has taken over, not renewables. Either way, hope to see an article declaring renewables make more power than natural gas soon.

Natural gas emits far less co2 per heat generated (don’t know how much exactly). Burning natural gas is bad, but not as bad as burning coal.

Getting at the natural gas requires fracking which ruins the surrounding environment. Large swaths of land across the US are uninhabitable with toxic water, soil and air as a result of fracking.

This is also why US CO2 emissions have been decreasing for years.
