Tell HN: Mindie.dev is scraping emails from profiles to send spam
5 by stackghost | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Got the following from hello@mindie.dev ---- Hey Stackghost — Saw your HN comment about freelance time tracking / invoicing. TimeChat is a Telegram bot: type "1.5 acme bug fix" after work, end of month it auto-generates the PDF invoice for your client. Side-by-side vs Toggl: mindie.dev/vs/toggl. For HN readers I'm running EARLY10: $1/mo (was $7). One-click checkout: timechat pro 2-mo trial If it's useful, I'd love your feedback. Free tier covers solo testing if you want to start there: https://ift.tt/LDCH0QP Not relevant? Reply STOP and I'll never email again. — the Mindie team
mindie.dev ---- I went back through my comment history and I don't believe that I have ever mentioned freelancing, time tracking, or invoicing in a comment except once when I mentioned an invoice peripherally a year ago. Thus, mindie.dev is scraping emails from profiles and hallucinating relevant reasons to try to grease their sales funnel. Attempting to unsubscribe via their "reply stop and I'll never email again" resulted in a bounced email. I find this behavior to be ultra scummy and dishonest. I enjoy the communal feel from people having open emails on their profiles but it seems the taboo has been broken. I will be removing my email from my profile and suggest you do the same.

Ask HN: When did computers stop being fun?

Of course I don't mean they stopped being fun for everyone. My impression is that they've been on one side "corporatized", and on the other became a vehicle for mindless entertainment. I don't care for coding new stuff. Everything I may need either already exists or is too complex to do on my own (and no, I won't vibe-code it, what's the fun in that?) I don't even code for work anymore since I moved to a project/service management role. Basically, the spark I felt some 25 years ago seems to be completely gone. Any suggestion on getting it back?

I had a bunch of custom AI pipelines and a growing folder of markdown files and Python scripts holding it together. Built this to give that chaos some structure. Agents are markdown files, topology is a JSON file the runtime enforces hard. The agents are still fully autonomous: they make their own decisions, but the graph they operate in isn't. You declare who can call whom upfront and the runtime holds that line. No auth yet, fine if you don't expose the port, i guess. Two Docker commands to run it.

Issue trackers typically live outside of your workflow, with poor ergonomics. Epiq aims to solve that, bringing issue tracking into your terminal. Multi-user collaboration is achieved via git using user-scoped immutable event logs that converge in memory. Put my all into it. Let me know what you think.

Show HN: Browser based sythesizer, drum machine and squencer

Inspired by the recent Boards Of Canada announcement, I've been in a low-fi electronica mood lately and was going back and forth with Claude on how to design similar instruments in the browser that fit the genre. One thing led to another and pretty soon I had a fully browser based polyphonic synthesizer / drum machine / sequencer. The interface and workflow was heavily inspired by the Rebirth338 application released back in the 90's, but with lo-fi synth voices rather than the original 303 & 808 emulation. I know there's a significant overlap of developers and musicians and I though some of you may enjoy playing with the app, or at least listening to the resulting album. I've also open sourced track 1 of the album via the performance script used to record it. It's in the repo. Bandcamp link to the resulting album: https://ift.tt/HAPKqcM...
