I'm working on Tech Posts ( https://techposts.eu ), a Hacker News for Europe! Since the last time I posted on HN it's gained a decent amount of traffic and users. I'm particularly happy with the jobs section, which is growing into a high signal-noise source for European tech jobs: https://techposts.eu/jobs The reason I started this website is because so much incredible innovation and growth in Europe flies under the…

Great idea! There was another some years back that I think died. But now seems as good a time as ever to try again.

Oh man... you just throwback thursdayed me to my last weeks thought. I really want to get a pet fish, like a betta for my mental health. I feel like it would motivate me when im working on projects to have a buddy near me. Is cleaning the tank a lot of work? Agh!

The main work is doing a water change, which I think I'll have to do every couple of weeks going forwards, but we'll see. I had to do it more often at the start whilst the tank was cycling. Takes me about 40 minutes. I also have to trim the plants every so often. Oh, and feed them of course. It doesn't feel like a lot of work or a chore to me atm.

Not bad.

I’m working on https://markway.io/ , a Markdown web highlighter. The core idea is to make it easy to capture page content, highlights and images and everything will be formatted as Markdown and is easily editable in a performant little editor window. Then from there, I’m working on multiple export services like Clipboard export and popular PKM apps like Obsidian, Roam Research, Capacities etc.

Are you aware about Obsidian highlighter? Its really good...

I’m working on Neon Arcade (https://neonarc.app/ ) — a browser-based arcade platform with a curated collection of free unblocked games and remastered classics.

The site offers a mix of nostalgic titles and new casual games that people can play instantly in any browser without downloads, whether on school/work networks or on personal devices. I’ve been focusing on polish, responsiveness, and a fun vibe, and I’m interested in seeing how players engage with different genres (from puzzle to platformers) directly in the browser.

Would love to hear feedback on the idea and potential features people want to see next.

Recently on my blog: https://bryanhogan.com/blog Wrote an introduction to Obsidian referencing other relevant posts, but also keeping it simple. And the post before that was about creating an app using SvelteKit + Capacitor. Currently working on some posts about AI coding and my life in Osaka after 3 months here. Other things I'm working on: - https://dailyselftrack.com/ - Got into working on it again, mainly solving…

I tested the Japanese app, in in a bit of a hurry, but here are things I noticed.

- 1 time when matching pairs, two different sounds played. Not the automated and presumably yours, but two different sounding sounds. E and another one I think it was.

- One run the male voice played when I clicked on the Japanese symbols to the left when matching pairs. All the other times it played together with the automated voice.

- The error log empties itself despite not leaving the current run, so you can't see what you did wrong. Not sure if it's page specific, but if so it ties into this next point.

- When matching one symbol to four different sounds, the page transition is too abrupt. This is also a thing on the other pages. I'd say better UX here is to give feedback that you did it right, and let the user choose to continue. A score too, if you'd like to "gamify" it.

- The options for modifying runs doesn't work. I was interested in seeing the other tasks, but even when only enabling the task or tasks I wanted, I kept only getting match the pairs and match the symbol to the sound.

Support for Youtube playlists please... having to lookup the watch ID on Google after a song is removed to guess what the track was is a highly sucky part of using Youtube for music.

Yes! Definitely adding support for YouTube, I think their API is the only good one Spotify effectively shut down their API

I hate how things are just silent removed. Thanks for taking up the pitchfork, looking forward to your solution's progress.

I was wondering whether I should post a link to that, but figured the shooting fitted better. There's actually a place (or used to be) somewhere near Silicon Valley where you can take your least favourite piece of IT gear and blast it with rented firearms, pretty sure it was in operation at the time Office Space was made.

The entire state of Nevada?
