Ask HN: What do devs use for quickly setting up a feedback form?
15 by mmarian | 17 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a software engineer who keeps building little web apps / MVP landing pages in the hopes that they make me a pretty penny (they never do). I like adding basic forms to the websites; usually to collect feedback, sometimes with an optional email address so I can get back to people. I've tried 3 options so far: - fully-fledged forms embedded onto the website (eg Google Forms) - quickest to set up but absolutely hideous and bad for SEO - 3rd-party form backends - I'm constantly worried about hitting the free plan limit; and some services have some deliverability/uptime issues - writing up my own server (I use Go) and hooking it up to a 3rd-party email service; cheapest but more worried about deliverability/uptime Right now I'm gravitating towards the 2nd option, but am curious how other developers approach this problem.

New top story on Hacker News: Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery

Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery 173 by scythe | 29 comments on Hacker News. Recently there was a thread about a "breakthrough" in battery technology at Toyota. https://ift.tt/nUtv4yY Toyota has been putting out PR puff pieces about their "solid-state" (solid-electrolyte) batteries for years, but this story was unique in that it had a quote from Keiji Kaita, who holds some high-level role at Toyota. Anyway, I didn't think much of it, because there was no paper referenced in the Guardian article, which seemed to be the original source. But while reading about something else, I came across the paper "A near dimensionally invariable high-capacity positive electrode material", published in Nature Materials last December: https://ift.tt/24ZXPy5 This paper, reporting a cathode that has very little (much less than normal) change in size or shape when charged and discharged, claims reversible storage with a solid electrolyte. It stands to reaso

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Neucards – Privacy based digital contact card

Show HN: Neucards – Privacy based digital contact card 7 by bdominy | 1 comments on Hacker News. Neucards is an end-to-end encrypted contact information sharing and updating iOS app that protects your identity while letting you keep in touch with people. I started working on neucards as a side project more than ten years ago, and I decided three years ago to go full-time and try to build a community around it. There are two major problems that neucards addresses. First, most people end up with contact lists that are hopelessly out of date. Over time, people move, change jobs, or add social profiles and unless they tell you, chances are you could lose touch. Second, your contact information ends up in the wrong hands. There has been a huge increase in robocalls, unsolicited emails, data breaches, and online scams that is driven by accessing a person's contact info. Even worse, with AI now being able to imitate a person's voice or other mannerisms, knowledge about the connecti
