Happy New Year HN
547 by thunderbong | 157 comments on Hacker News.
Thanks to the mods and to all the members of HN for one of the bright spots of 2020. So many submissions, so many comments. Most of all, so many intelligent discussions. Also, so much guidance in how to live life - with curiosity, empathy and optimism. Times, both bad and good, will come and go. Lives will be lived and time will move on. But seeing the humanism of people, in my humble opinion, is reason for hope for a better future. Have a wonderful new year everyone!

Ask HN: Why does Pinterest dominate Google text search results?
563 by Winterflow3r | 275 comments on Hacker News.
More and more often when I search (using text queries, not image search, which I know has been polluted by Pinterest for years), I get pages upon pages of Pinterest results, sometimes the same Pinterest page but from the different pinterest country domains like pinterest.fi for Finland and pinterest.se for Sweden. Does anyone know if Google gives Pinterest preferential treatement in SEO rankings? Edit: A few comments were asking what my queries were to generate search results where Pinterest dominates, so clarifying that a bit. I run a site that has a colour search engine for lipsticks and since Google is one of the dominant ways in which people land on my site (searching for things like "nyx budapest lipstick dupes"), I was studying various makeup related queries to see which sites ranked highest .

New best story on Hacker News: Sick of spending time on Auth, we built an open source 'Stripe for Auth'

Sick of spending time on Auth, we built an open source 'Stripe for Auth'
438 by advaitruia | 261 comments on Hacker News.
We (my cofounder and I) have built several startups previously and spent an unnecessary amount of effort on auth. This led us to build an open source alternative to Auth0 and AWS Cognito, that’s called SuperTokens. We’ve spoken to 100s of developers and startups to understand the pain points with current services and we hope you find this useful! Why did we build this? To be able to control our user data and have it stored in our own database. Have certain customisations that other identity providers do not offer We couldn’t afford to pay It took too long to understand the documentation of alternate service providers How are we any easier? We think that Auth0, Firebase etc are great services but auth is complex. There are many different use cases for different types of apps. Since services have to cater to each of these, they tend to become complex in their implementation (due to no fault of their own). SuperTokens takes a modular approach - making it possible to pick only the features you need for your use case. This means you need not worry about complications associated with other features (eg: SSO and OAuth if you don’t need it) and this in turn makes it easier to implement and manage SuperTokens. We are still early in the journey and working hard on building more functionality. Please see our website: https://supertokens.io/ Our GitHub: https://ift.tt/2EIS58i Do let us know what you think - specifically whether you would consider SuperTokens for your app. Why or why not? What can we change or offer? PS: We did a "Launch HN" post earlier when our product was only for securely managing session tokens ( https://ift.tt/2YIHUb2 ). We realized we need to build more of the auth stack (signup / signin, social login etc) and hence we're excited to announce that we've built basic login functionality.

Show HN: After 10 years my side project has hit $8k/mo in revenue
427 by sanity31415 | 204 comments on Hacker News.
Back in 2010 I had an idea for a service that would allow people to easily create semi-permanent email aliases so that they could give an email address to people and websites without revealing their real email address. These aliases will continue to work indefinitely unless you choose to block them. My brother and I spent a few months building the initial version and launched the website in July 2010. For the first year we had about 50 signups per month, by 2013 this had increased to 1500 and it's currently around 3500 per month. Similarly, our revenue grew consistently but slowly - doubling about every 18 months, reaching its current level of around $8k/mo. Over this time we redesigned the website, and found a company to create an explainer video for the service (both through 99Designs). We have not spent much on paid user acquisition, we experimented with it a bit a few years ago without positive results. I think the difficulty is that some user education is required for them to understand what the service does and the value of it. The website is called 33Mail ( https://33mail.com/ ). My plan is to spend the next few weeks focussed on trying to accelerate 33Mail's growth, in particular I want to try Google and FB advertising, and we've also been thinking about setting up an affiliate program through something like Commission Junction. But before diving into that it would be really helpful to get some feedback and suggestions, it can sometimes feel like we're too close to it to see it objectively. I would be super grateful if you guys could take a look at it and see if any suggestions come to mind.
