Hey everyone,I’ve been thinking a lot about webhook delivery reliability lately. In many projects I’ve worked on, building robust webhook infra turned out to be deceptively complex:- Retry logic (exponential backoff, timeouts)
- Handling non-2xx responses
- Delivery monitoring and alerting
- Back-pressure or queueing to avoid overwhelming receivers
- Secure signing and validation flowsIn one project, a failed webhook caused a payment processing delay for hours because the retry logic was buggy. Another time, burst traffic took down the receiver endpoint with no DLQ strategy in place.I’ve been researching different approaches teams here use:Do you build your own custom webhook delivery queue and monitoring system?
 Use cloud solutions like AWS EventBridge or Step Functions to orchestrate?
 Or integrate third-party tools that handle delivery, retries, and observability for you?I’m curious about how you ensure production-grade reliability at scale without burning dev hours on plumbing. Recently, I’ve been working on a tool in this space to handle these issues automatically, but would love to hear:- What architecture have you found most reliable?
- What are the edge cases you’ve encountered (e.g. signature mismatches, downstream outages)?
- Any horror stories or lessons learned from webhook failures in production?Looking forward to learning from your experiences and best practices around webhook infra!

How do you handle production webhook delivery reliability in your apps?

If couples find that parenting isn&#x27;t for them (e.g., within the first year of their baby&#x27;s life), they would be able to place the baby for adoption easily and without stigma.Would this encourage more couples to have children?

Hello everyone,Conventional wisdom on productivity suggests that the closer we get to our goals, the more motivated we become. The shrinking distance to the finish line should, logically, be our most potent fuel.However, I&#x27;ve recently been analyzing a deeply counter-intuitive pattern—an anomaly I&#x27;ve started calling &quot;The 90% Gravity.&quot;The pattern is this:There&#x27;s a statistically significant &quot;Danger Zone,&quot; not at the start of a project, but in the final stretch—roughly between 80% and 95% completion.In this zone, rates of procrastination, self-sabotage, and near-abandonment spike disproportionately. It&#x27;s as if a palpable, invisible force actively repels us from the very success we are about to grasp. This isn&#x27;t just fatigue; the pattern holds even for an individual&#x27;s most desired, passion-fueled projects. In fact, the more meaningful the goal, the stronger the pull of this negative gravity seems to be.If this pattern holds true, it suggests our greatest adversary isn&#x27;t the inertia of starting, but a strange form of &#x27;success aversion&#x27; that ambushes us when victory is already in sight.I wanted to open this up to the community here:1. Have you personally experienced this &quot;90% Gravity&quot;? A project you were passionate about, only to inexplicably stall when it was almost done?
2. Theoretically, what psychological forces do you believe are at play here? Is it a fear of the success itself? A fear of the void that comes after a long-held goal is achieved? Something else entirely?I&#x27;m curious to read your perspectives.

Hi HN,As the title suggested, any recommendations and tips to build in LLM assistants with Vim? Any experiences to share about such a setup?I’ve only dabbled with AI-assisted coding using Gemini &#x2F; ChatGPT “on the side”, rather than a fully integrated experience like Cursor.

Hey folks — I&#x27;m looking to hand off a project I&#x27;ve been working on: Eyeball, a clean and minimal bookmarking app for iOS that uses AI to help users save, organize, and understand their links.Website: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;eyeball.wtf&#x2F;
App: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;eyeball-ai-bookmarks-notes&#x2F;id6670705634The app is live on the App Store, has several hundred users.Selling because my founding engineer took a full-time role and I don’t have the bandwidth to grow it solo. Would love to see it in the hands of someone who wants to take it further. Thinking a simple profit-share if it ever generates revenue?If you’re into calm productivity tools, AI&#x2F;notes, or second-brain apps, this could be a fun one to take on.If you’re interested, drop your contact details and I&#x27;ll reach out.
