Especially with general or high-profile tech news.

It's not a big issue. HN users tend to upvote preferred sources, post cross-links, or discussions center around specifics in each article.

But it's also not optimal. Multiple articles on the same subject could benefit from a single discussion on the subject matter they have in common. Or compare article A versus article B's coverage. Also I suspect most HN users don't like laying out some argument & post, only to discover 10m later that same topic was argued to death in a related story. Or upvote a less-preferred source while a more-preferred source already saw lots of comments & upvotes.

It could (for example) be implemented by adding a poll to let HN users vote on what to use as primary link. Or just list the various links. Users can add candidates, select/upvote which they prefer, most popular one gets hugged, additional articles serve as extras. Hey this sounds a lot like a mini-election!

Your thoughts & suggestions please?26:T41c,I've had a few side project ideas over the years but have never implemented one because I lack knowledge in (but willing to learn):

* implementing social logins (OAuth), account management, etc.

* managing backend permissions (RBAC always looks more complicated than it should be). My projects might have three tiers: free, hobbyist, pro

* handling payments securely while actually monitoring for abuse/intrusion

Which social logins are allowed to tie into your project?

What are you using for authn/authz? My projects would be very low traffic, so I wouldn't want to commit to a big monthly spend. Are you rolling your own or using Auth0/Clerk/Supabase for auth and Stripe for payments? I'm comfortable with AWS, Cloudflare, Go, JS, and Linux. Are there any GitHub repos that I can look at for this?

How well do frontier LLMs (Claude Opus, etc.) do at generating clean, auditable code for this kind of thing? Is anyone actually trusting AI-written auth/payment code and how do you review it?
