Hi HN,

I figured there are a lot of HN users on here who have a lifetime's worth of valuable tips & advice that they could share with fellow HN users, and that would be very helpful to the rest of us.

So I decided to spend a couple of days creating a micro-site where HNers with valuable tips & advice to share, can share those personal-experience derived advice with those of us who would appreciate & benefit from said advice.

Link to site: https://yoomter.com

Enjoy!

HN regulars are among the last people I would be asking for "wellbeing" advice.

Cool site

Is it rude to point out that often the tips and advice are telling someone to do something?

I usually understand tips to be hints about what might be coming up next, or where to look next, or what I might have missed along the way..

When someone's pretty mentally hammered (aka me), it's difficult to mentally process a laundry list of habits or practices that I should also do...

    I understand, but isn't it a bit better to at least have some idea of where to start or even a general idea of what to do or what to avoid doing?

this is cool, thanks for sharing. is there a way to go to the original post on hacker news? i like to see the context around comments but i can't find that link. it only links to the "original post" on the yoomter site, which is misleading since that's not the original post.

  • rose_ann_OP 2 years ago

    The posts on the site are the original posts. To seed the site so it wouldn't look like a wasteland, I emailed a few high value HN posters who had email addresses shown on their HN profiles and begged them to post a tip.

    A few of them graciously obliged, and some of those probably told a colleague/acquaintance to post a tip as well.

    It's why I love HN, there's more of a sense of community here.

      oh i see. i was thinking that you found comments on hacker news and put them there. in which case, i'd want to go to the hacker news comment.
