There is a reason I had to lock my better version of this ( https://quickish.site ) behind Google OAuth to start. Like it or not, this type of stuff is going to be more popular tha…

After posting about building my live hacker news drop flap board last week here and elsewhere, I got feedback from a number of sources and the most asked for was the ability for pe…

I built this by testing a workflow for a service I started (hobby project) called quickish ( https://quickish.site ). You can just remix this (basically forks it and hosts it on yo…

For those finding it now: Added more realistic flap sound effects. Mobile improvements. UI tweaks with flap animations. You can remix this and make your own, change it, etc. Downlo…

I don't disagree at all on the AI design. I can do a bit more (I have worked as a senior UI engineer at Nike and AWS), the reality is many of the parts I wanted to focus on outside…

Stand by.... I agree.

Sound could be better.

I tried to use a more digital sound at first, then went a step more realistic (ElevenLabs actually) but would have preferred to just record a real one.

If you were to "Remix" it and have it on your own quickish page that settings dialog appears however it is simply an oversight on my part that it doesn't say that explicitly.

Was CloudFlare limiting after a large burst of interest. All better. Only took a leg

Was not expecting 30k visits in an hour. Patched up the mobile view and got everything running again. Oof. Thank you for checking it out!

Yes, got rate limited. Didn't expect the traffic but it's back

Although the page itself is more just fun to have made and look at (I like the flip sound), the fun part is how I made it to verify the (and I hate to say it) vibe host service I'v…

I launched quickish.website last week and have been adding more and more as I use it every day for my day job. I got a lot of really positive feedback in other places and a number …

As Claude and ChatGPT has gotten better, I've found myself enjoying using Co-Work to make presentations at work. Sharing the HTML files on Slack and elsewhere was cumbersome and tr…

A pretty common one is jsPlumb - https://jsplumbtoolkit.com/ - might be what you're looking for. I'm sure there are others as well.

My point on this isn't that you should write ugly, unmaintainable code because who cares. It's that, if you're an experienced and intelligent engineer, you're going to do just fine…

This is something I preach often, even at FAANG. Often engineers feel comfortable and in-the-zone when solving for a process. One saying I often delivery is: Engineers often think …

Have to touch on this as it's a common theme to my response. There absolutely are regulations. However, regulations being in place, and the enforcement of these regulations are dif…

At one point I worked on the very systems they used (dialers, PBX, internal CRMs), with the carriers that enabled it. This wasn't an opinion of mine, I was merely passing along rea…

I built telecommunications systems / software for some time. The unfortunate truth here is that telecom carriers absolutely already have everything they need to largely put a stop …

Completely disagree here. See my comment in the main thread of this post. A startup could net anywhere from 200k/yr for a state park contract to 15m+/yr depending on the state. How…

I attended the NASPD conference this last year (National Association of State Parks Directors). After a couple of us ex Vacasa / Nike / Amazon engineers heard from our local state …

The worst (best) part is that it was only caught when they did because the attacker got greedy and tried to double dip. Would be interesting to find out how they turned a phishing …
