    It looks super nice. I really like the name and the design, but as others have said the numbers seem to be a bit of a turn off. It really seems to throw off the visual balance and …

    Despite whether what OpenAI alleges in the blog post is true or not, it's super odd that a company of their size would make a blog post about it. This looks like a company that's i…

    Thanks for checking out the app! Truthfully it simply doesn't make sense to support anything prior to iOS 26 for Plates. It was built entirely around liquid glass, morphing animati…

    Yes, it's actually possible to change it in the settings! It's in Settings -> Apps -> Plates. It's possible to change the weight and distance units there, as well as the effort met…

    I got tired of all the worthwhile iPhone weightlifting apps wanting a monthly payment for a full feature set, while delivering an uninspiring, cross-platform experience. I noticed …

    Admittedly I had never heard of this party before, but after looking into them calling them far-right seems to be quite a leap. If you didn't know, Sweden used to be extremely welc…

    Show HN: Daily word puzzle game based on polysemy

    I built this daily puzzle game called "Omitten". The idea came from a compulsive habit I got from reading books on an e-reader and constantly looking up definitions (iykyk). Quite …

    One strength of Obsidian is actually it's plugins. All of the plugins are fully open source so I think if someone truly plans to disrupt it they should make their editor interopera…

    i've been grinding away to make "Plates" the best it can be. i know building a weightlifting app is a massive cliche, but i felt compelled to make it anyway and honestly have zero …

    I've been hard at work building a weightlifting workout tracking & analytics app. Its main selling points are being iOS native, being a one-time purchase, and being completely priv…

    I've worked with Flutter, React Native, and now I'm building an app in SwiftUI. I've found a few things in the process: 1.) Neither RN nor Flutter seems to be able to create truly …
