God you're miserable. Damned if you do [engage with the community directly], damned if you don't.

You should pay the public if you want them to provide something valuable for you. I know Sam Altman is a leech but you should have some morals here.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing

Brilliant idea honestly.

If someone wanted to use this for "opposition research" purposes, they could run this against any "up and coming" public figures...

* Regional politicians

* TV show contestants

* High school / college athletes

* White collar workers receiving major promotions

* etc.

Take screenshots / records of the tweet, then figure out what to do next. Could range from storing for a rainy day or building a SaaS that reaches out to those folks and helps them find/delete the old content.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A great reminder that showing a bit of gratitude goes a long way, especially to the the oftentimes-thankless builders and maintainers of the OSS we all rely on.

This. I just don't post here frequently or check HN. Rest assured I am a real person.

I have mentioned my Twitter in previous comments (https://twitter.com/peterkimfrank) and you'll see my submission history maps pretty well to my role at my company (https://dev.to/peter).

This was a weird comment thread to wake up to...

Bravo. In my view, this connection and upside was made appropriately-clear in the "Who are you and why did you build this?" section, and the context from the logo attached to the site.

Very clever marketing, good on you for managing this, and I hope you see a great return for your efforts.

Thanks – I'm glad you have a long-standing comment history so this doesn't look like I made you up ;-)

Lol. That was good reframing. The first comment had me leaning in the direction of not siding with Radvocate.

Wait, is that a one-off custom landing page? Something that normal users can't do?

I don't see a "hello" repo in his list of repositories: https://natfriedman.github.io/hello/

Can private repos have publicly accessible pages?

I think it’s the gh-pages branch on a private repository.

If you look at Nat’s account right now [0], he doesn’t even have the telltale “GitHub Staff” badge, probably because his hiring is contingent upon the deal closing.

So he’s definitely not an admin at the system level, which just makes him a normal account.

Edit: I’m on a roll today. No, I’m mistaken — it’s not gh-pages. This is the repo: https://github.com/natfriedman/hello

By all measures I don’t see how this is a pages repo at all.

Yes, private repos can have publicly accessible pages.

I think this one is my favorite:

Love it!

I have an emacs one too: [0]

I'm going to have FOMO printed as a poster.

How is directly linking a .mp3 the best way to preview their technology? You'd think there would be a much more elegant solution to showcase Polly on their site.
