Looks like I really have to buy into React in order to choose this... Kind've a non-starter.

What frontend libraries do you use?

Vue is my preferred framework.

Same here. Similar, but different. It's been one that I've started building out a couple times over 10ish or so years.

I'm pretty sure I'd have a way to combat the issues that Flattr faced, but also, I may be wrong, so is it worth my risk?

Looks like from some of these replies that the Reddit folks made their way to HN.

This thread involves both politics and Musk/Tesla, a cross-section of categories that often invites low-quality comments. It need only add cryptocurrency to achieve the trifecta.

There’s also mentioning anything with psychedelics or dieting.

I think the 'no pure politics discussion' rule is kind of out the window when the article is literally just about politics, from a site with "politics" in the literal name and url. :P

It's not a hard and fast rule, as many subjects have a political component. Even sites with "politics" in the name may discuss issues relevant to HN (in this case, direct sales of autos, a topic discussed here many times)

Sure, but this article is not a general discussion of the merits or demerits of direct sales, it's about a law being passed by a political frontrunner, for political reasons.

Got any examples?
