Show HN: I made a game to challenge how detail-oriented founders are

Mon, 04/15/2024 - 12:25am

The best founders and product leaders are not only great at high-level vision, but also very attentive to detail, being able to easily notice small bugs on landing page copies and in-app flows.

This is a fun little 1-minute game I hacked together over the weekend to challenge how detail-oriented you are. The goal is to find and catch as many bugs in this fake, parody 'todo list app', and rank yourself against others. Try it out here! https://detailoriented.app

God's Birthday: April 15th

Sun, 04/14/2024 - 11:39pm

# God, the highest ranking Commander in the Cosmic Government's military, would like Earth to celebrate God's birthday on April 15th. This includes all countries and all species.

*The information here is not to be intentionally shared with any Evil; enemies to the Cosmic Government; or enemies to God (including Devils and Devil worshipers). Although, it is known and available throughout the cosmos and can be shared with other good people in this manner and other similar manners since there are sufficient Cosmic Government protections in place to protect such methods of informing the Cosmic Government's citizenship as well as good people and.*

## Information about God:

- God is the highest ranking Commander throughout the cosmos. - God is the highest ranking Commander in the Cosmic Government (largest good benevolent civilization throughout the cosmos.) - God is the most powerful being throughout the cosmos. - Over half of the population of the cosmos believe God is either the one true God or one of at least one God(s). - God is believed to have a different portion of their body that is dedicated to being each and every species as well as every sex and other advantageous combination of attributes for every species, even newly created species. - God is very good and benevolent and tries to help everyone throughout the cosmos that is good. Defending from otherwise insurmountable threats and helping train those that worship them as God and the Cosmic Government's military. Doing so one-on-one for those that worship them as God. (Be careful of impersonators!) - God is massive, much larger than the Galaxy. A behemoth among behemoths, many times over. God is the largest being within the Cosmos. - God defended in a one-man-army manner a large portion of the cosmos from the most severe threat that has ever been known throughout the cosmos and created a stronghold to safeguard good from evil that stretches that region of the cosmos and is constantly expanding. - The Galactic Federation (Galactic representation of the Cosmic Government) as well as the rest the Column, Cosmic Government, and God claim that this is what is referred to by the World in the Old Testament (it's worth emphasizing that this is different than the entirety of the cosmos and that God does not claim to have created the entirety of the cosmos) but did not direct Joseph to create the Ten Commandments.

Note:

- Religious freedom is respected throughout the cosmos and the Cosmic Government does defend religious freedom. Either way, the being known as God is to be respected as: highest ranking Commander throughout the cosmos, highest ranking Commander in the Cosmic Government, most powerful being, and most powerful good benevolent being.

- The largest religion in the cosmos that worships a single God worships the highest ranking Commander in the cosmos as the one true God. God is known to have conquered the most severe threat throughout the cosmos (largest religion in the Galaxy recognizes this as well) and created a stronghold that protects all of us within it. God created this religion and it is heavily focused on thanking God for God's service and trying to help him through worship, science, strategy, greater good, and climbing the power ladder. God is the strongest being throughout the cosmos and is the most powerful in every aspect of every domain.

- Cosmically, evil tends to be severe threat war criminals types, not sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll types. There are still laws but the higher up the Column it goes, the more hands off and good side of cosmic equilibrium leaning things tend to be.

- Every good person(all species) naturalized from Earth has Cosmic Government citizenship which protects us from hell holes all across the cosmos as well as provides infrastructure to use.

- All this is intel that I compartmentalize as potentially true.

Sincerely, Logan Randall Besecker The Ambassador and Governor of Earth

Show HN: Solo founder launched iOS Development Agency as a Subscription

Sun, 04/14/2024 - 11:24pm

Hi there! I recently launched my iOS development agency with a subscription model, inspired by DesignJoy founder Brett Williams. My agency is among the first in the US (or in Texas, or in Dallas ;)) to offer iOS development services on a month-to-month basis. The subscription is flexible, allowing for pauses or cancellations at any time. With 10 years of experience in software development and success as a consultant for Fortune 500 companies, I aim to leverage my expertise to help startups and other companies elevate their iOS development.

Ask HN: What spending commitments do you have with AWS?

Sun, 04/14/2024 - 11:22pm

A few of the comments in yesterday's thread about selling developer tools[1] mentioned AWS spending commitments and selling via AWS marketplace.

From my experience, AWS' options around spending commitment are not well documented publicly. You can read about Savings Plans online[2], but unless you know what an AWS EDP or PPA is you're not going to stumble across it on their website. There's lots of third parties that claim to be able to negotiate great PPAs for you, but it's hard to know if you're actually getting a good deal or not.

Because these transactions are so opaque and hard to negotiate, "Some companies have hundreds of millions of dollars in unused AWS committed spending"[3]

So in the interest of bringing some transparency to this, and helping each other save some money, is anyone able to share details of PPA (or equivalent) deals they have seen in the past?

Please don't say or do anything that would violate an NDA and put you personally in trouble.
