#902Still working on cataloging a curated list of craft beer venues across the world at https://wheretodrink.beer Unsure what the plan is going forward with it, apart from adding more venues and more countries. As long as it's fun for me I'll just keep adding things. Next addition will be to add health inspection data from countries that have that in open datasets or APIs, so if anyone know of that I'd be appreciative of…
Just checked out NYC and saw that most of the venues have abysmal ratings (e.g. 3.02/10). Am I reading the numbers wrong?
The number and the fire icons are popularity ratings, and shouldn't be expected to say a lot about quality. That value is derived from a set of automated signals that can be considered proxies for popularity. For most markets we typically see a couple of stand outs, and "the rest". One major flaw is also that we don't know venue capacity, so this probably does bias towards bigger venues
For NYC specifically it could be many factors playing in.. Perhaps we don't really have the right venues listed? Maybe the city favors small neighborhood bars over bigger destinations? etc..
I just recently added the number behind the icons, but one of my concerns was that it would then be interpreted as a review rating. Might re-consider the UX of this now. Thanks for feedback!

#903I love the idea of a free and a distributed/decentralized social media, I have just been trying to come up with some basic arch for it. This is not the final direction I want to go with this, can pivot based on interests. i am open if anyone is interested in joining!
On the off-chance you're not aware of nostr [0]. Might give you some ideas.

#904Working on a original algorithm to explain human behavior from 3rd person perspective.
The whole research is divided into 6 stages. In 2nd stage, I want to use that to mathematically establish the best course of action as an individual.
In 3rd stage, I will explain common psychological phenomenon through the theory, things like narcissism, anxiety, self-doubt, how to forgive others, etc.
In 4th stage, I will explain how the theory is the fastest way to learn across multiple domains and become a generalist and critical thinker.
In 5th stage, I will explain how society will unfold if everyone can become generalist and critical thinker through the theory.
In 6th and last stage, I will think about how to use this theory to make India the next superpower, as this theory can give us the demographic advantage.
Shared more about the algorithm here https://x.com/admiralrohan/status/1973312855114998185

Accuracy indicators for rushing and dragging are very useful, but equally interesting would be an indicator that checks for a consistent peaks, so every note is played with equal volume. A dream would be if your app can detect differences in sound (fingernails occasionally scratching the string, fretbuzz). Is there any way to get notified when your app is done, or do you have a name for it already so we can search fo…
Love those ideas, would be awesome for really nailing down consistent tones. Latter one would be fairly ambitious for me but I'll keep it in mind for future improvements. Just published the waitlist[1], the app will be called ShredBlocks. [1]: https://shredblocks.app/
My AI suggests a few existing algorithms to tackle the problem of comparing two sound curves - maybe this one is not too hard?
I'll check out that app when it's ready, good luck!

#906I’m working on designing a system at the intersection of mental health and personal finance.
The idea is simple: stressful or difficult moments happen every day, but they usually disappear with no positive outcome. At the same time, many people struggle to save consistently for the things they actually want (trips, concerts, hobbies) because necessities always come first.
This system links the two: when a user logs a stressful moment, a small preset amount (say $2–$10) automatically gets transferred into a personal “joy fund.” Over time, bad days turn into tangible progress toward something meaningful.
Right now, I’m validating whether people would find this useful before building a product. Curious to hear if this resonates, and what potential challenges you’d see in such an approach.

Neat! I don't love newsletters though, any chance you may be publishing this using ActivityPub too? (Sorry if this sounds entitled, it's a genuine "do you have plans" question)
Honestly? No, I want to stick to the concept, one email and 1 URL a day (Monday - Friday)
that's fair, thanks for answering.

#909I am working on a tool for testing web apps with a simple to use syntax/DSL aimed to reduce work for automated testing of applications, based on Playwright (Go).
It has additional cool feature like documentation generation in which the steps of the UI test can be used to generate a markdown document with screenshots to aid teams in crafting end-user documentation.
I am planning on adding reports like Playwright and Cypress support and then later on adding support for running tests on remote browser instances to enable different workflows
