I built a routine management app for my kids (7 and 10) called "Oh Yah!" after their constant "Oh yah! I forgot" responses about homework Link: https://ohyahapp.com Interesting cha…

Thanks for this! Really appreciate it that it has no ads. Curious though, is the sound all generated on the fly or is it static audio file?

Thanks!

Thanks for this. Our child psychologist recommended structured routines, and paper-based scheduling just didn't work for us hence the app

I did consider that early on, but decided against it for now. Adding social features would be a privacy nightmare (especially with kids involved) and would significantly complicate…

Fair points, and I appreciate the candid feedback. The demo tasks were chosen to showcase different task types (timed, photo-proof, etc) rather than being prescriptive about what k…

Ah we're pretty similar in that regard. Officially their screen time is 30min on weekdays (excluding the app usage and chess.com) so the app basically digitise that whiteboard + ti…

I am indeed an asian haha

Glad that works for you! We tried paper-based routines but they didn't stick for us. The timer helps them realize tasks take less time than they think, and the photo proof solves d…

Thanks! Glad it resonates. The app is designed specifically for kids with a simplified UX and parent mode, so it might feel too basic for adults. However, the core concepts (ordere…

In this case, navigation means in-app navigation. When a task timer is running, kids can't switch to other tasks, go back to the main screen, or change profiles. They have to compl…

Thanks! They actually liked the photo part. Right now just focusing to handle daily routine but could expand later depending on the feedback

Yeah, that's a valid concern. We use an older spare iPhone for this, which worked out well. iOS doesn't have a "Kids Corner" equivalent unfortunately - you'd need to use Screen Tim…

Thanks! This was my wife's idea and I thought it's interesting but was skeptical at first. But after we started using it, it actually helped a lot! Much less whining/crying and a l…

Hi HN! I built Oh Yah! to help my sons (age 7 and 10) stick to daily routines without constant reminders. The core idea: minimal distractions during tasks by locking navigation whe…

For the monospace font I still revert back to DejaVu Sans Mono/Menlo. Somehow other fonts just doesn't click and feels a bit off

Hi HN! I just built chessterm, a Rust-powered TUI chess engine to practice chess notation (PGN) for an upcoming chess competition. This was also a way for me to learn Rust more dee…

Is there any message ordering guarantee in NATS? With Kafka you can achieve this by using keyed message and messages in the same partition will always be ordered Disclosure: I work…
