It's cool because... well, it makes it easy for programmers to fill out and sign PDF forms. So it's not really a "cool" product, but I enjoy working on it, and it saves people a lot of time.
The goal is to visualise all the different topics you can learn about and provide the best resources available for learning the topic.
It's also Open Source (https://github.com/learn-anything/learn-anything) so the cool part I think is that the users can actually be developers and submit changes they wish to see on the website.
Why is it cool?
* Every cell is live, reactive code that re-evaluates automatically whenever any of its inputs do. This includes awaiting promises and yielding new values from (potentially async) generators.
* A notebook can import and reuse any cell from any other published notebook.
* You have access to all of the computational goodies that the web platform gives you: graphics capabilities with and , the GPU, the world's largest open source library with npm, and web APIs.
It's been interesting thinking about what it would mean to have a read/write medium for the web — where you're working with live values, and not in a "dead code" text editor. For just a teeny hint of some of the possibilities, check out Tom's autocompletion gif: https://twitter.com/tmcw/status/966073331207233536
Im making an aggregate site for youtube mixes - house, lofi, ect. https://ytradio.xyz/ It started with only live streams (24/7 youtube music channels) I enjoy lofi youtube mixes when coding, and theres a lot of them. Currently im adding functionality for users to curate the mixes I think its cool bc its kind of like a shared youtube playlist for a particular niche, with nice ui, and soon with curation
Hey, I really like it! I've wanted to build something similar but haven't gotten around to it. Couple questions: What do the icons at the top of the page do? (The music note, rain drop, anchor, etc) I think they are some sort of filter but click them doesn't seem to do anything. A tooltip or quick note might help the user know what they are for. would you consider adding soundcloud integration? I have a bunch of play…
Thanks:)
So I just broke those this week with an update & some refactoring, but they are for soundscapes, like rain, ocean, cafe background noise ect. - still thinking about how to group things
You know, open sourcing with multiple devs is something I haven’t put much thought into - at least for this project. I will have to move around some configs and do some readme stuff but growing that collaboration muscle seems important. Ill let that stir in my head, its still my baby, but I don’t see any harm, so maybe in a little:)
Soundcloud is a great idea:) I didn’t think of that either! - probably bc I don’t use it enough. Im definitely going to look into that this weekend.
Thanks and I’m really glad u guys like it this made my day:)
I'm building https://timeguard.io , which is an iOS app that acts like HN's "noprocrast" setting but for the entire internet. You pick distracting sites/apps to block, and then you choose when to pause the block and access them. I've found that little extra bit of friction in checking FB/HN/Twitter is enough to keep me far more concentrated and present throughout the day. Would love feedback from other HN users!
Hey Kyle, this looks nice. I use RescueTime[1] for this purpose on desktop, but since it doesn't easily interop with mobile/other devices, it's still easy to slip into procrastination by pulling out the phone. I'll try TimeGuard as a way to fill the gap. For me, the killer feature for this type of tool would be a blanket anti-procrastination mode that works across all devices. Maybe it could even make sense to integr…
PS Good luck with fundraising!
In my spare time I'm working on a console-based mail-client, scriptable with lua, some golang-based projects (object-storage, puppet-dashboard replacement, and similar things)
Beyond that this year I'm mostly relaxing and pushing a pram in the snow. Fun times :)
