To give some insight as a user, It's a solid resource / program.
Being centralized through slack is a great use for a community driven network. Just eliminates the feeling like you're going it alone.
Speaking personally, the HFO program is helping get out of a creative drought. There's definitely something to this

Re: Show HN: Learn anything by creating something everyday
#12Some background on how and why I started this. I was going through a very difficult time in my life. My father in law passed away suddenly two days before my son and first child were born. Things were very emotional and stressful. I couldn't find any clarity. I didn't have any time for myself to figure it all out. One day, while sitting alone in my friends startup office I heard the song Naked Life by Oko Ebombo. I a…
I too did this except 1 month at a time. I use to produce music or 'jams' once a day for a month or so. I also did 3D quite a bit and produced 1 spaceship concept a day as part of "#shiptember" It's a really fun way to learn to do something and inevitably become REALLY fast at it and produce incredible work that you'd never thought possible to start with. You know the software/hardware so good that by the end of it,…
This has absolutely been my experience. The artist Beeple is an excellent example of this and someone who inspired me a lot. Your work sounds really cool

#13 Kind of tough learning new things in blue collar software shops. Not impossible but really, really tough.

Also here are links to profiles if that helps retain the "Show HN" status so people here can play with elements of this. I've worked really hard to get to a point where I have a working tool that people can use. It required teaching myself how to code to realize it. On Jan 01 2019, I had never written a line of code. I'm a huge fan of Hacker News and would appreciate the Show HN categorization. https://hfo.futureland…
Ok, we'll make an exception for you. Please don't ask friends to upvote your HN posts, though. It's against the rules ( https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html ), HN users tend to see through it, and we ban accounts and sites that do it. Also, it's mostly pointless, because most such votes are rejected by the software.
OK - this kind of approach is what makes HN so cool. It's something I really appreciate as a reader. It's great that you have software that can do that.
fwiw the premise of asking any friends to support this was essentially, "hey I finally had the courage to post that thing we've been iMessaging about everyday and that you are a user of and finding value in on Hacker News."
I basically use my Mac to make things and visit this website.

As someone who's also learning how to make music with Logic Pro X because I listened to songs that I wanted to create myself, I can understand you. Your story is absolutely inspiring.
Mastering a skill in solitary is said to be a key aspect of individuation. The amount of personal development I've experienced in the last 2 years is all due to the desire to be able to do something e.g. making music, understanding people and the world, learning to lead others and build a small company, learning how to comfort people in bad times, learning the meaning of real connection with other people and so many more. We should all embrace those wishes we have and these goals we'd like to achieve and support ourselves. I think this is a very life-affirming and supportive view that can change the people in a profound way.
P.S.: I'm also a fan of beeple. He is very inspirational for me in his regularity, something I'm still struggling with.
P.P.S.: The tool looks amazing. For just 6 months of experience, this is a great thing to achieve. Connecting with the Slack API and building something that looks good (also on mobile) isn't easy. You're doing great!

This is beautiful. It's surreal to read something so aligned with my own experiences on life and the world around me. Unreal

Wow. I've really shed a tear. I've signed up, looking forward to talk with you about your experiences and wishes.

#18I really like the idea and the execution.
The only thing I am against is Slack. I don't wish to Slack.
Can you add additional channels like Telegram maybe? WIP[1] uses telegram bot to do something similar to what you are aiming at.

Weird suggestions provided there's no guitar in the song (only bass), and he's not exactly "singing" in the sense usually attributed to the word.

#20We took "Show HN" off the title because requiring an invite makes it more like a sign-up page than something people are able to try out. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
