Been thinking a lot about doing Strava for music practice. I've set the website up for being to sign up for 'the beta' so I can come back to them when I have more done. I have the basic app going but more work needs to be done. The website is pracso.com if anyone is interested?

#992SMS Productivity App.
You text it, and we keep you on track in achieving your goals and maintaining high output and productivity. I was tired of wasting my time on what doesn't matter most. The goal of this app is to make me hyper-focused and empowered to focus on what matters most! Less stress, more time on things I want to do!

#993Chapter 11 of the book AI Powered Search[1].
The topic is turning clickstream data into relevance labels to train machine learning models to optimize search relevance. It’s a fun topic, as it’s far more complicated than just “label things clicked more as more relevant”. There’s dozens of reasons how/why users click things (or don’t click things) besides relevance you have to overcome to derive reasonable relevance labels.

#994https://witc.theoi.de/ A realtime multiplayer game to play with your friends. You will see an interactive map and a city name. You click on the map where you think the city is. When the time is over, the game will show you where the city really is and what the other players in the room thought where the city is.
This looks fun!
One thing though, the site's meta description has a typo: "Multiplayer online game. Guess where a city on the world map is. Best played with frieds."

#995I'm writing a open book / blog series. Working title is "Building an OS on an FPGA: First Gate to Self-Hosted Compiler". I'm very early in, but realized I had all this knowledge from these different architecture levels and haven't tied it altogether to see what I'm missing... So I started to try and find out by doing it. Been documenting my process and the evolutions of complexity and considerations in a way to put t…
This sounds awesome. Do you have a place somewhere where I could put in my email to receive updates? I'm sure you'll be posting it to HN but I sometimes go several months at a time avoiding all social media/news sites, and am worried I might miss this.

#996An omnichannel messenger that bundles up incoming updates (messages, mentions) from a number of different apps (Slack, email, Jira, etc.) and prioritizes them in a smart way - so that you can address all the important updates within a 1-hour slot a day.
Problem: updates coming from 5-6 different apps during the day distract me from high-impact work that requires focus. However, going radio-silent is not a solution because I may appear rude and miss something important.

#997I'm working on a (not so instant) messaging app to help friends stay connected. Most of us use some form of instant messaging apps like whatsapp, FaceTime, snapchat to be in touch with our close friends/family inner circle. But it's hard to keep in touch with the ones whom we lost touch with. like your best friend from school, ex colleague. My goal is to create an app that will randomly connect them out of the blue.
I would love a personal CRM where I can assign my contacts to a certain frequency of communication -- and then after that amount of time has elapsed without any calls or texts, it will prompt me to reach out to them. Is that anything along the lines of what your app does?

#998I finally started to take the time to develop the parser and data types for "stutter" [1], a spoken programming language idea I had for a while now. The underlying idea is that this language is absolutely syntax clutter free and uses grammar similar to how sentences are built, so that it can be predicted and recognized much easier in noisy environments whilst being a programming language that is made for dictation (i…
Do you work with blind developers on building this at all? I know that HN has had a few big threads discussing the workflow for blind programmers, I would feel like this could potentially be a part of it? Assuming stutter could be interpreted to another language?
Re: Ask HN: What are you working on?
#999I've been on HN for a number of years but have always been a passive observer and have never commented before. From the below project you can probably tell why; I’ve recently dropped out of school and have been working on making the government acquisition process better. There is a mountain of regulation, registrations and little tid bits required and takes an inordinatant amount of time to learn how to properly do b…
Site looks great! Keep up the hard work I believe you will succeed.
Feedback: "We help you sell to government contracts so" should this say sell to government contractors instead? Or maybe "we help you land government contracts"? Selling to a government contract is something that I don't understand, in terms of phrasing. A contract can't buy something
Re: Ask HN: What are you working on?
#1000I am working on creating an app for people with type2 diabetes. They only need to take the picture of the food they are about to eat and the app will tell approximate range of how many points their blood sugar can rise. For example, if you take a picture of an apple, it can tell that eating a full apple will increase blood sugar by 5-15 points. Its a range because it depends on the quantity and the individual insulin…
Do you have a website for this? A mailing list I could add my email to to get updates about the progress?
