Show HN: Tech, career, and personal wellbeing advice from HN users

[rose_ann_]

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.

Lol. Some of the wellbeing tips were really quite good though.

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.

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.
