Tell HN: An update from the new Tindie team
20 by altairprime | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Received by email tonight about two hours ago: Dear Tindie Community, My name is Gongyu Su, and I am writing on behalf of the new Tindie ownership team. First, we sincerely apologize for the recent downtime and the disruption it caused. We understand that many buyers and community members were left without clear information during the transition, and that this created frustration and concern. Tindie is now owned by EETree LLC, a Washington State company. Our team took over Tindie because we believe it remains an important platform for makers, hardware creators, engineers, and independent sellers around the world. The recent transition was more complex than expected. Tindie runs on an older technical framework with many connected services, and the migration from the previous operating environment to the new one took longer and caused more disruption than anyone wanted. We know this was not the experience the Tindie community deserved. Our immediate focus is to stabilize the platform, resolve payment and order-related issues, and support sellers and buyers through the transition. If you have an order-related concern, please contact Tindie support so the team can review your case directly. WHAT WE ARE FOCUSED ON Stabilizing the platform Restoring reliable access for buyers, sellers, and the community. Resolving open issues Working through payment, refund, and order concerns case by case. Investing for the long term Renewing attention, support, and improvements for the community. We also want to be clear about our long-term intention: we did not take over Tindie to let it fade away. We took it over because we believe it deserves renewed attention, investment, and support. Tindie has always been more than just a marketplace. It is a place where independent creators, makers, and hardware enthusiasts can share useful products, tools, kits, modules, and ideas with the world. We want to preserve that spirit while improving the platform step by step. Over the coming weeks and months, we will share more about our plans and will listen carefully to feedback from sellers, buyers, and the broader community. Thank you for your patience and continued support. We know trust must be earned through action, and we are committed to doing that. Sincerely, Gongyu Su On behalf of the Tindie Team

New ask Hacker News story: EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts

EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts 21 by magnusgraviti | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We've built https://evm-ui.com, a free tool that allows you to interact with smart contracts visually. It started as an internal project while building Web3 apps for clients — we needed something more flexible and lightweight than Remix or Etherscan's UI. Unlike Etherscan or Polygonscan, you don't need to verify and open-source your smart contract to get a working UI. Paste the ABI (or load it from a template) and proceed. With EVM-UI, you can - Import contracts by address + ABI, or paste ABIs directly - Read/write functions with auto-generated UI (supports all Solidity types, including arrays) - Execute actions with smart inputs (dropdowns, min/max helpers, etc.) - Switch between EVM chains, testnets, or local RPCs within one workspace - Use developer tools (Keccak256, ABI encoder/decoder, address utils) - Share environments with your team and your cl...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Should I quit my startup journey for now?

Ask HN: Should I quit my startup journey for now? 2 by lkuebler | 4 comments on Hacker News. One year ago I started as an intern at a start-up. Things evolved and we are now a team of two-founders and one developer (me). We are running out of money and so my bosses chose to not pay themselves and myself a salary. What can I do to get reimbursed for my work at the startup? Currently there's not much work for me but if the other two guys manage to close the ongoing funding round in approx. 3 months they want to hire me full-time. Can I demand equity from them in advance to assure my piece of the cake once the money has arrived? The answer they gave me to this was they would give me the shares once the round is closed. But this is only good for them, not for me. Right? I am very new to start-up things and really don't know how to act. Feel free to share your experiences with getting shares as one of the first employees in a start-up.
