Show HN: A link/news aggregator I am working on Hello HN, I'm building omegapedia.com, a link/news aggregator that combines features of multiple other sites. I started building this site because I often found some features lacking in other websites. As example: You can format you text to be italic, red, blue or to be a spoiler. Comments are not threaded and don't include any voting feature. Omegapedia uses upvotes and downvotes for posts but shows them as separate numbers. I styled the page in darkmode but added an optional lightmode as well. I added "Trust-Points" and a leaderboard to show the 5 users with the most points. Other noteworthy features are: -Comment replies. -Flairs. -Adding a bio to your profile. -Mention users in comments. -Ability to add a email address to your account. -Forgot-my-password function. -Link posts. There is no need to add a email andress to your account and you will never be forced to. The site works on pc and mobile. The site is very lightweight because there are no CSS or JavaScript libaries that will have to be downloaded first. There are multiple ways to sort the posts and a way to show the recent comments so you can join a current discussion anytime. There is no register barrier and you will be automatically logged in a muted guest account. I am very interested in feedback and if you have any questions or comments please let me know, thank you! ======== Join me on omegapedia! https://ift.tt/QG6zyYS https://ift.tt/Ecanu24 August 5, 2022 at 10:55PM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
