I’m currently building FRNDZ, a privacy-first ad protocol with a live MVP.

Users earn on-chain rewards for real engagement, and advertisers target intent, not identities — no cookies, no PII.

I’d love to learn what signals or demos make you personally take a project like this seriously.

This happened to me, and it's about to happen again soon.

Someone has submitted a 4k-line PR to one of my projects.

The person is a long-time user and is very enthusiastic about the app. They wanted a feature they've been asking about for half a year.

Not sure what to do now. I really want to help my user, but I don't like this code in my codebase.

This morning, I received another message from another user who is about to submit one more feature.

Is there any polite way to prevent that?

I'm a Chinese software developer living in China, currently wanting to both start my own business in a democracy and immigrate to Canada (2nd choice: New Zealand) one day. My English is fluent.

I don't own a Chinese company. I want to remotely incorporate a software company in a democracy from China and then start operating and trading from China.

I won't ever consider applying for the Canadian Start-up Visa program because its processing time now is over 10 years. Provincial Entrepreneur Programs seem viable. Or are there easier Canadian visas?

I'm currently writing a consumer app, which will be my first product. Based on my research on many competitors, I predict the customers of this app, if any, will mainly come from (in this order): US, China, Japan, South Korea, Brazil.

If the business idea is validated and my time is scarce, I will probably hire contractors first instead of employees, probably from countries (except China) where the cost will be cheap. Is this the best practice (I have no prior entrepreneurial experience)?

Should I remotely incorporate in Canada or another country like US now?

When can I apply for a Canadian visa, which one, and what will the timeline/path be like if:

- I incorporate in Canada now?

- I incorporate in another country, like US (probably Delaware C-corp) now?

Thank you so much!

Hi HN,

First time sharing an app here

My wife and I kept making small promises to each other (“I owe you a dinner”, “you pick the next movie”, “I’ll plan the weekend”) and then forgetting them

We tried notes and reminders, but they didn’t work well

So we built this small app as a game for us, where:

- One person creates a “check” (a promise/favor)

- The other redeems it when they want

- The partner marks it fulfilled

It allow you to keep track of dates, celebrations, ideas, memories; it's an space for you and your wife (or at least it's our space so far)

That’s the core

Everything else is optional

Over time we added:

- Shared calendar for dates and anniversaries

- Simple streaks and milestones (not social, not competitive)

- Shared wishlist and memories

- Time-delayed notes (“open in 6 months”) that your couple won't see

Design constraints:

- Private by default (just two users)

- No feeds, no public profiles

- No comparison between couples

It’s free with a paid tier of 1 USD for unlimited checks

This is mostly a lifestyle tool we wanted for ourselves, but we’re curious whether others have the same problem
