good idea


I took another look and it seems to me that your site is misleadingly poaching data from HN. For example, this post:

> Show HN: I recreated a 90s Halloween decoration from my childhood - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45720155

is being copied over with no indication that it was copied from Hacker News, and you're even representing the submitter as if they have an account on your site: https://makers.random.gg/user/RandomDailyUrls.

Nowhere is there any indication of crediting or linking to HN at all, which is not cool. I'm also pretty sure that many HN community members will object to you copying their usernames over and making them look like users on your site.

I don't mean to be grumpy and if I've misunderstood something, I'm open to being corrected, but this does not look like a fair use of HN.

Edit: I removed an example I'd included, which was inaccurate because the user in question did indeed post their own project to HN. Sorry for getting that wrong!


gorgeous, thanks !!!!
