After noticing that HackerNews allowed a lot of engagement and was often chosen as the main source of traffic at the start of a project, especially when you've built little or no community on X (or elsewhere), I thought we should have the same thing, with the same simplicity but only for us, builders in public. The three posts per day limit is intentional - it encourages users to share their most meaningful updates rather than constant micro-updates. I hope you like it, and I look forward to hearing back from you all. :)

Another suggestion : Add "?ref=dailypings.com" at the end of every outgoing links. It can be usefull for analytics.

Hi @ericbn09 , Your design is Gorgeous! Love it! It remembers me zed.dev aesthetic. I love the 3 post limits. After reaching traffic, maybe you should change it to one per day and 3 with a premium. I miss Ruby as code language category in trending repos. Perhaps because there are no currently trending ruby repos 😅 but good old boring stuff is nice too.

@barnabed It's a great suggestion the premium for 3 posts! If traffic increases significantly, I'll see about implementing this! Thanks A LOT for the positive feedback, and it's a good idea for "?ref" I'm adding this quickly it may be useful for users!
