Just one, several times a day:

'It always irks me when passion projects or pre-MVP "startups" are hemorrhaging money (even if it's just 10 bucks a month)'

john_mack | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are the most distinctly designed news websites you have seen?
Check out https://breaking.ai
Some interesting stuff under the hood - it is very graphical but loads extremely fast, no ads or javascript
john_mack | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is setup for your static blog generator?
I rolled my own because I had unreasonable expectations:
* Cost almost nothing even if massive traffic (I wish)
* Infinate scaling
* No markdown, just html
* Post from browser, no publishing utils
* No web server
* No database
* Important plugins - comments, social media, email list
* Templates (eventually)
Built with jquery, S3, Cloudfront

john_mack | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your content discovery daily routine?
I built Virwire to auto curate news from thousands of sources worldwide 24/7.
Original motivation was to to scratch my own itch for news. I found I was spending far too much time foraging for content so decided to automate discovery and relevance filtering. The app is web based but formatted for mobile.
The story stream is increasingly global, random and tolerant of competing biases, I hope a new way to experience news and see the world.
