Ask HN: Black Friday Discounts/Specials It's that time of year, but I haven't seen a HN thread about it yet. I believe last year folks had some Github repos setup with information, and the thread comments had some additional great leads and special discounts for HN users from some places. What are you looking for, or what have you found this year? |
PS: even though its nice to have instantaneous feedback. Often when you start arranging you don't really know how you'd like the windows do fit, its kind of a "try it until it feels good thing". This apparently does it really well.
