https://mapofthebest.com I love food and I love travel. Naturally I decided to compile a list of all the best restaurants in the world. Still very much a work-in-progress but would love to get feedback.

Wow also had a similar idea! How are you getting the google review aggregate if you don't mind me asking? Even simply plotting Michelin restaurants seems like such a good idea in retrospect. I wanted to do something similar with famous food bloggers, maybe you can consider adding that to your list. Something like all of Mark Wein's recs on a map, with a link back to the original youtube video. Automatically adding da…

Reviews are coming from Google directly. I'll likely add OpenTable reviews as well since I feel their content quality is quite high.

I'd love to add bloggers but it seems quite difficult to automate and I want to minimize how much manual work this project requires.

Similarly I'd love to include all the chefs and track which restaurant they're at now but I haven't found a good way to automate this.

Ah thanks! And yea, naming things has never been a strength for me. I’ll have to come up with something more memorable once it’s ready for an alpha release :)

AniMath?

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to workshop it a bit more, when I see this I almost read AntiMath which would be an unintended mistake haha.

Love this askHN post.

I'm currently working on "JobMailer".

When I was looking for a job and applying to 100-200 positions, I got really good at the process. To me it seemed like a somewhat wasted skill set, because I was just looking for one job (unlike, for example, trying to acquire customers).

"JobMailer" rebundles paid subscription features that a job seeker might use only a handful of times over their search period and automates manual application tasks:

- Find good fit companies and jobs

- Reword resume/CV to mirror or match job description and keywords

- Find recruiter and hiring manager email addresses

- Write cover letter and send email to recruiter/hiring manager to get noticed

- Track email opens

- Single page hub for all application statuses (think Mint but for all different company application login pages)

The goal would be to semi-automate and submit ~50 high-quality and tailored applications in the first 30 days for a user.

https://www.casinojoblist.com , which I hope is self-explanatory. Updated daily. Problem is getting any kind of SEO success. The site is functional and designed to be as easy to use as possible, what it doesn't have are any articles, blogs, ads, pricing, or distractions (other than multiple casino-related themes, for a little bit of flair). What's good for users (I hope) seems to suppress any presence in search engin…

Maybe instead of linking out directly to the source site from the first click, grab the job posting's content and re-create it on page on your domain, and then link out to the source site from there?

Appreciate the suggestion. Even if it helps SEO it degrades the user experience (extra clicks before getting to the actual job listing) and a lot of resources (already sending a somewhat large payload to the client). The source listings themselves are not in any standard format, initially I did want to enable a job description on hover/click but they are often unreliable in formatting or sequencing or taxonomy, which is problematic. Still worth considering, thank you.

I've been working on a disk cleanup tool tailored specifically for developers. The idea is to help devs reclaim disk space by intelligently identifying and removing old, unused project files, node_modules folders, docker containers, vm images, caches etc.

I'm currently in the design phase and would love to get feedback on the concept, especially from those who've faced disk space issues due to development projects.

That's really cool! Just wanted to share the following site as the city of Toronto created something similar a few months ago https://map.toronto.ca/torontomaps/

Amazing, just bookmarked this!

Seems like it's the same app but Calgary has this too. The maps around the time of our big flood in 2013 are pretty interesting.

Timeline and frame based editing is the end result but this more about the elemental creation and from there, editing it into time based scene. Ive spent the last few years in the cinematography department, and most directors and director of photographers will write the scenes on flash cards and move them around and rearrange them because not every story is linear, even though we have to find a way to present every s…

I see. So would the dialogue be part of the textual description? What would be a typical unit? A keyframe? A bucket of frames? Because the elements are temporal and visual, I think some form of “object in time” relation must be encoded in the description?

You’ve given me something to think about and I think you’re right, there is an element of time missing. In fact there is a few parallel time elements missing from this too

For example, when we are shooting there is a rough formula for how long of a day we need to get those scenes. Usually it’s 1 hour per 1 page scene plus an extra 30 mins added on for each character in the scene. But that doesn’t translate to the final product as that information tells us nothing about how long or important a scene should be in the final product.

But it’s also possible I’m getting too ahead of myself here and maybe there’s another object that is created that includes the scene, production and final product objects instead of jamming it all into this object.

Open to anything suggestions you may have.
