It is still hard to me to know how to convert timestamp to human readable date and vice-verse. So I have created this simple website to help me out - https://timestamp.online/.



When I have realised how often I am searching for converting between timestamp and date I have created this website - https://timestamp.online/. It's earning around $100/month. The most interesting thing is how valuable are people from US - overall profit depends almost entirely on clicks from US.


How does this actually generate income? It looks like a plain website to me, I don't see any ads or donation links?

(browsing on my mobile if it makes a difference)


Maybe you block ads? When I deactivate my blocker for the site, ads appear...


I use the duckduckgo browser.

I hadn't even realised it blocked such stuff by default ...


Funny that you posted this, have been using this site for a while now.


Knowledge from which chapter to you consider the most useful for your work?


depends on the project/place entire work is useful


It is really great tool too see what used to be very popular posts in the past.

I have one observation. Posts linking to twitter - https://deephn.org/?sort=score&filter=%7B%22score%22%3A%7B%2... - have most of the preview occupied with navigation and other not interested parts. So maybe it is possible to use some hacky solution to show the content part for the most popular websites, or if multiple pages are downloaded from the same domain the content part could be detected automatically.


You are right. The preview is far from perfect. We just wanted to ship early. We will continue to fix and improve.


Do you know why?



Do you know why half of the internet is using evergiven when on all the photos is written evergreen?


Because Evergreen is the name of the company that operates the ship [1] and Ever Given is the name of the ship [2].

[2]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ever_Given


Evergreen is the company name, Ever Given (which does appear on the ship in much smaller letters) is the ship's name.


The name of the company is Evergreen. All their ships start with Ever. This ship is Evergiven.


"Ever Grounded"?


Evergreen is the company, all their ships are named "Ever X" where "X" is some word that begins with "G".

Like how some people name all their kids with the same first letter. I know, weird.


This confused me, too, at first.

The vessel name (on the bow) is Ever Given.

The company operating it, emblazoned on the side in large letters, is Evergreen.


Evergreen is the company, Evergiven is the name of the ship.


Evergreen Marine Corporation owns the ship named Ever Given.


Hi. pm me and I can explain you


I have been just clicking on the "New" menu. It was not clear to me that I should mouse over and wait. There are many interesting transformations such as "Generate SQL INSERT INTO statement from CSV" or "Generate ASCII table from CSV/TSV". They could be more prominent. How about moving them from "New" into "Library" section?


Thank you for the input. I have now added a separate "Templates" menu item.


How about adding some search functionality? First, I was thinking that the "Subscribe" form is the search form.


Good call on subscribe looking like search. I didn't see it until you pointed it out.


From my perspective I am always surprised when I see such article on the HP. When I check articles in the newest section - https://news.ycombinator.com/newest - most of them do not get upvotes and dies. So there is for sure some skill involved in getting here. :)


Skill, luck or sockpuppet accounts.
