This is my side project that emerged during my time working in Android instrumentation at Headspin. It is nowhere near usable but I'd like to gauge its potential usefulness and whether I should pick up where I left off. Here is a talk explaining it: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1p_ZROCzdCMbbaNSnAF2J...
Maybe, but the messages are centralized and can be censored or removed in your scenario. Zmsg, while just a proof of concept, uses encrypted memo field in Zcash transactions. Once the transaction is confirmed, it is part of the blockchain. This can be useful, for example, for political protesters against subversive government.
Thank you for the feedback. The pay-per-click model will be one of the options once we're ready for paying customers and we should adjust it accordingly from users' feedback.
Hi HN, my goal with Alphaseek is to make it easy and simple for developers to launch a referral program in their apps and websites as an alternative to other productized offerings in the market that are built for marketers and charging big monthly fees regardless of the referral success of the users.
The SDK consists of REST API that keeps track of a product's users and how they refer other users to sign up, generate unique referral links and "invite" codes for them, and increment scores on both sides of a referral. The back end is reward-agnostic and leaves it to the developer. I'm also working on the TypeScript/JavaScript library that wraps the API and makes it easy to integrate with web and React projects and a CLI tool for admin purposes.
I've spent three months on-and-off working on this project and I'm really excited to share it and get feedback from you. I would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have.
Though it's an opinion piece and I don't agree with all the points, some I do. The readability issue is real when dealing with any code more than a hundred line, and worse the convention seems to encourage using empty lines very sparingly.
The shortcomings came out clearer as I've been teaching someone to program in Python. The subtlety of per-scope indentation really confused her. The concept of a "block" is just not visually clear. Not to mention mixing spaces and tabs by accident. That could halt a new programmer for an hour.
