#214https://vecka.nu/ In Sweden, we use week-number quite often, but it is nowhere to be found in our calendar software, so, there is a webpage that just displays what week it is now, nothing else.. also: vecka = week nu = now

For those using macOS or iOS, week numbers can be toggled on in the calendar settings! Really useful if you need to frequently reference the week. Unsure about Windows and Android.

Wow! I've been using the internet since the 90s and I have never had my hair blown back by a webpage before. The isometric view certainly hits the nostalgia button. Edit (from the site): "Japan was once globally renowned for its people's quality of unique creativity teamed with a pioneering mindset. Their innovation and inventions changed the world. But that golden era has long been gone. It seems that the quality Ja…
It's bold of the Nintendo family to make such statements about Japanese society when they can't even get their own company under control themselves. Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company and it's true of other Japanese companies as well. They seem to be scared of the internet and goes out of their way to claim copyright infringement on anything fan made having to do with their intellectual pr…

Wow, I didn't know you could load assets from a chain on the web. That's pretty cool. I really want to learn distributed systems stuff like that this year: Blockchain/ipfs/ p2p / etc.
> I didn't know you could load assets from a chain on the web Presumably it's just using a proxy? As far as I know there's still no way to have the browser interact with the blockchain directly unless you use a non-standard extension like MetaMask.
JS can interact with an RPC endpoint directly, but the individual would have to provide one (either as you're suggesting via a proxy) or directly in code. This project is actually by a friend of mine, i should ask him...ive never bothered despite also working in the web3 space myself. All our work is done server side, so we just use our own RPC endpoints and nothing is shared with the public.
