Oooh..reminds me of something similar I did earlier for own blog a few years back: https://github.com/proxygeek/publish/ I have moved away to Jekyll again but there's always someth…

Early Saturday morning and what a simple, to-the-point read about irreverence :D Gave me my new maxim - "Fuck about a bit" Created a poster out of it :D https://nextfive.xyz/bits/2…

Try this https://www.worldmonitor.app/ for a hosted version of this...from a different dev but very, very close.

Very cool! Although, the concept, the feeds, the design and everything reminds me of https://www.worldmonitor.app/ - also live and deployed btw, if you want to check out the interf…

This is very interesting because I have been thinking vaguely about a somewhat "opposite" effect. In the sense, talking to LLMs kills my enthusiasm for an idea with other people. S…

Not quite there yet but Yunohost is a fantastic attempt to get closer to this ideal. Install the OS - and the basic self-hostic-use-case apps are all just there to click and instal…

Probably those SAP, Salesforce ServiceNow folks come somewhat closer? Like the author says - fleet-tracking system, a bus-ticketing platform or IoT platform share some basically si…

I have been using this one from Futo for quite some time and love it: https://keyboard.futo.org/ They also have a voice input only version if you still would like to keep your typi…

I found just now that my telecom operator - Airtel - randomly subscribed me for OTT services and charged me for it. But upon calling them and contesting, they just asked if I want …

Hi HN, this is a repost from last Saturday, in case it was burried. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46096146 But essentially, a single file, totally offline, free To-Do list a…

Very interesting... with the marginal cost of basic software dev decreasing but distribution costs remaining high, I have been wondering how that changes software consumption (1). …

There's also some more light CBT-inspired stuff: like reminders when you're stuck, off-screen break suggestions (I consider breaks essential to long term momentum), and automatic s…

Hi HN, I built Guide (leaning almost exclusively on Gemini Pro 2.5) for myself initially to get over the blank-page-hurdle while starting on a goal. As well as to reduce the overwh…

It's fascinating ...didn't think about the Bus Factor at all wrt vibe coding. Feels obvious in retrospect. But I feel there's the other side of software beyond the maintanable, pro…

Such a fun thread but this is the kind of applications that perk up my attention! Very cool!

Do not go by the warning message. It does work just fine on Firefox latest. Cool, demo, btw!

Meanwhile, Google Pay has emerged as the king of UPI payments in India, with annualised transaction value worth $110 billion. Sometimes, so tightly focused US-only news without eve…

Wow... Would this collection be helpful as a free and curated source of coding blocks to train future LLMs on?

This is indeed fascinating - people not being as passionate about desktop clients than mobile clients. I wonder if it's to do with desktop usage more linked to typing compared to m…

Never mind; just realised that they are blocking results to the NewPipe.net. It still shows up when searching for it directly though

For what it's worth, Google results continue to show the F-droid, GitHub and all other links for NewPipe for me. May be, because I'm accessing it from outside USA

Nope :)

That's straight-up District 13 :)

All the more reason not to keep it anymore, right?
