About nizarmah

"I don't know if what I'm going to say is going to hurt or help but screw it. Do you know what's really happening right now? You're learning what it's like to be human. All humans are aware of death, so we're all a little bit sad — all the time. That's just the deal." ~ The Good Place

    I just got a 3D printer and a few colors. My sister wants an organizer, but we're picking from the colors I have. It took me so much time to setup the project in Bambu Studio just …

    Show HN: BucksBuddy – a free, on-the-go, private money journal

    I loved learning how to build end-to-end encryption. I thought you'd need to go through every record. I felt really silly when I learned how keys can be used. For context, I'd blow…

    Rolling it out at work to parallelize 4,257 tests across 5 services. It fixes our tests running in band and DB mocking in API tests. It's a drop-in Postgres image, with a Golang pr…

    Show HN: Pixel text renderer using CSS linear-gradients (no JavaScript)

    I've been playing around with rendering pixel text using only CSS. No JS in the final result, and no per-pixel DOM elements (too heavy). The demo page is rendered as a long list of…

    I’m also suspicious about all those em dashes (—).

    The legos was referring to user experience, sorry about the vagueness. I'd love to try this again with a simpler UI. If there's a place I can follow for updates, LMK.

    I just saw the Hello World example on the website, and the video. It seems like your program is really capable, but I'm finding the UI extremely overwhelming. I find myself compari…

    This is really nice! Kudos. Small request: When I have a document open, ask to prevent accidentally closing the tab. Large request: Resizing pictures and signatures.

    I am always fascinated how people get ideas as creative as this. I didn't know I needed this, but now that you shared it—I NEEDED IT!

    The animations on the left are exactly what my primitive mind needs to understand better and stay engaged while reading an article. I _love_ it.

    I collected a list of alternative options for signals that I'll be looking into [1]. I included wifi probe requests as well. Thank you so much! [1]: https://github.com/nizarmah/iga…

    Thanks a lot for the kind words! That's a really cool idea. Kudos!! A companion system should be relatively easy. It's also two single devices communicating with each other which m…

    I would definitely like to chat about it. Right now, it's the main picture in mind towards getting some funding to push this project forward. So, I'd love to learn more about it.

    It's awesome that it's coming to Android as well. I was mind blown when I got it on my phone traveling between Spain and Portugal by car. It's hard to find a one-size-fits-all solu…

    There's a higher chance a person/company can do something valuable with this than Apple buying it or hiring me as an employee. I will also try to create a monetized version for spe…

    I have not, yet. Right now, it's more of a "signaling life" tool. Improvements are definitely needed with location, but the signal loss as you mentioned is higher priority and rest…
