Appreciate it! So it's pretty compute intensive - my machine also doesn't love it. I wanted to get the general gist of it out there before optimizing, but I'll try my best. For the…

Hey HN! A long time ago I built a map of trains at trains.fyi, and then realized nobody had bought planes.fyi - so this is my new map project. It's a bunch of things, but mostly, a…

Super helpful points - thank you! Definitely gonna implement some more clustering. The zooming in/out being annoying bit I hadn't thought of, but now that it's mentioned I kind of …

Ah yes! So this is something I'm struggling with from a UX perspective (could use some feedback from anyone here). News tied to a specific place gets pinned there (like an article …

Thanks! One of my favourite accidental things to come out of it was the "highlighting" of rural news. Stuff in a city like Toronto, which usually dominates my feed, gets kind of lo…

Hey HN! I wanted to know what was going on in cities/towns where my friends live, so I built Needle. It uses an LLM + Open Street map to best estimate general locations of stories …

This exactly. I find that I don't remember how to do some of the things I used to have more easily memorized, but I still need the fundamentals when things go horribly wrong and I …

this is amazing! I'm actually working on a similar ATC transcription project, but more along the lines of education / entertainment for non-pilots. I'm gonna be posting a YT video …

I rode it a few weeks ago and completely forgot about it! I'll add it to the list. thanks!

added to the list - thanks!

Added to the list - thanks! This is different from metra yeah?

thanks - done!

this bugged me too. I tried to keep the colours respective to the company logos. Any other recommendations for a metra colour?

mostly just because this was a weekend project and I needed to draw the line somewhere. I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but I reckon it'll take a good amount more time.

looks like it's at least possible! https://www.mta.maryland.gov/marc-tracker https://www.transit.land/feeds/f-brightline~trails~rt I'll add them to the list and investigate; thanks…

I did a bit of a deep dive on this over the weekend and left feeling more confused than when I started. From what I can gather, outside of CN's holiday freight train, most of the t…

I'm currently on the wait-list for the API. Took me 2 days to even figure out how to register.

Yeah, I'm going to add a disclaimer about this. I've been watching the GO trains from my window this morning and they lag about a minute behind. My site grabs data on a minute inte…

thanks! I did a quick write up about it here: https://rydercalmdown.com/projects/trains-fyi/ The hardest part was learning about GTFS-RT, which was a data format I wasn't familiar …

Hey all! My train the other day was delayed and I got curious where they all were at any given time, so I built a map and figured I'd share it.

Hey HN! I've been individually checking WARN notice pages about layoffs for a little while and I wanted to build a tool that would bring them all to one place, and email me anytime…

Thanks! A CLI tool is an interesting idea. I originally built something similar [as a python package]( https://github.com/ryderdamen/fromchaos ) to basically force LLMs to return d…

So there are definitely some features I'd like to add / improve upon: - json/yaml/etc validation - better pre-filtering before the openAI api call to save money - custom select (in…

Hey HN! I wanted to share a chrome extension I built for myself called From Chaos. It's an extension that takes the content of the page and organizes it into structured data. For i…
