New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Openexus – Building blocks for the internet

Show HN: Openexus – Building blocks for the internet 23 by lominming | 7 comments Hi HN! We are thrilled to share a sneak peek of https://openexus.com after months of work. You can try out the cool demos on the front page! The idea is to build a platform and community for composable building blocks where anyone can easily create, find and connect different modules to create dynamic and interactive apps, sites, dashboards, and docs. This can be done without using a single line of code. Key principles of what we are building: 1) True composability that enables infinite possibilities — Modules today are either too complex to be used only by developers (e.g. NPM packages) or too simplistic where they are usually used as an embed in isolation. We are establishing a modularization foundation that is powerful enough for developers to express functionalities, simple enough for anyone (even kids) to use, and flexible enough to build sophisticated creations. 2) Smart connect without code — ...

New top story on Hacker News: Tell HN: LinkedIn banned me because of my avatar, in the middle of my fundraise

Tell HN: LinkedIn banned me because of my avatar, in the middle of my fundraise 26 by scrollaway | 13 comments I've been on LinkedIn for a while with zero issues with my normal cartoon avatar (which I use absolutely everywhere). Then yesterday, in the middle of my new startup's fundraise, they hit me with an ID verification and banned my account + deleted my startup's page. My profile is missing. I have unanswered messages with people whose emails I don't have. Potential investors etc. Friends reaching out asking me why my profile is missing. They didn't tell me why. Still this morning I didn't know. Now they just responded with an email telling me my "appeal has been denied", and telling me that they removed my avatar for not complying with the TOS. Zero warning, just straight to ban. This is the avatar: https://leclan.ch (it's used with the author's permission) on Hacker News. I've been on LinkedIn for a while with zero issues with my ...
