I continued to work on intercooler.js: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js http://intercoolerjs.org I'm trying to get people to reconsider the more traditional web development style of server-side rendering of HTML + HATEOAS.
I remember seeing this last year too, I like it. This is a good reminder for me to try using it in side projects. I fear though that you're swimming against the currents (obviously, speaking about the current trends of everyone using React or one of the other frameworks for frontend development). I hope you'll gain traction in creating a trend of a different path, making traditional web development style a viable alt…
I hope you find it useful, and good luck in 2018.
After a 10-years-or-so hiatus I finally got back at composing music, and completed 29 songs and 4 albums, this fall only: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nxDh1lPq0EclBPMNXnYa3 and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgNm_EwMyLBrKp_kmdU3XoA . Doing this in parallel to going through a divorce with three kids has been quite a ride.
One project that I really enjoyed working on this year is https://www.meteorshowers.org/ . It's a webgl visualization of NASA meteoroid data. Open source here: https://github.com/typpo/showers I also maintain an open source SMS API called Textbelt, but it became unreliable due to spammers. I launched a paid hosted version and have been steadily improving it: https://textbelt.com/
I quit my job as a software engineer at Google early this year to teach people how to code. I started paying people $15/hr to learn so they can make ends meet while learning instead of working at Walmart. I thought about all the missing pieces in my engineering growth and created a curriculum that welcomes students from 0 engineering background and plugs in all the holes that were black boxed to me in my engineering…
What were the holes that black-boxed you in your engineering growth?
I made (Let's) All Mine, a site that I hoped would pay for a master's degree in statistics. The idea was inspired by The Million Dollar Homepage [2] which was an experiment in what qualifies as a website. Essentially, that site took people's annoyance by ads, and made a site that was entirely ads, a 1000x1000 pixel grid where each square pixel cost $1. And it was successful. My project takes people's annoyance by bro…
The current reward for mining is super lame, just a few characters in a leaderboard. If I were implementing something like this, I'd do something like a crossover between Reddit's Place project and the million dollar homepage, where you mine x amount of coin in order to place a pixel on a shared canvas. Right now there's no psychological motivation to continue mining, especially because if someone arrives late in the…
Built Commento, a privacy-focused alternative to Disqus: https://github.com/adtac/commento Right now, it exists as a Github project that you can self-host, but I'll soon offer it as a paid service if you don't want to host and maintain servers on your own. (And maybe even apply to YC, who knows :)) It started out with me reading a blog post [1] and thinking "I can write Disqus tonight". And that's how it began; I had…
There's a product named Hosted Comments mentioned in another comment on this post with a similar goal. https://www.hostedcomments.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16042162
Trying to be the world's first person to be cured from autism. I believe my autism is caused by the shape of my forehead, which puts too much pressure on my muscles. Evidence is here: https://corticalchauvinism.com/2017/11/13/yuval-levental-cra... Also, I have prepared for a potential surgery by getting botox injections in my forehead muscle. So far, my focus at work has dramatically improved: https://corticalchauvin…
