How does this work? The about button isn't working for me.

Right now the About button just shows the same Hostel Hawk popup from when the site loads; clicking it while it's already displayed does nothing. But I'll add more info about the site soon and fix that. Basically you can explore the map and see what cities are most popular with travelers right now. You can zoom in and check out how many travelers are staying (approximately) at the tops hostels. The app also displays…

The weighting concept sounds great. I'll use this for my next Euro-trip! Thanks!

You're off by about 200 years

Yeah, no, this was actually yesterday. Today I'm thinking about fungi porcini with eggs, fresh potatoes and lardo me and my wife made from the family pig.

Glad to hear you ate food and browsed the internet. Welcome to the modern human condition!

One ongoing project I have is http://simplesharingbuttons.com . I've been meaning to do a complete rewrite, but I was at least able to do the most important, functional updates incrementally. Lately I've been playing with (chat) bots. One fun experiment I made is https://twitter.com/bartleby_scrvnr/ . I don't particularly care for many of the Twitter bots that are out there, but I found some interesting projects, lik…

I've built something similar: http://ShareBar.net

One week ago I've launched my first project as a developer. https://magicalpush.com/ (no English language yet) Magical Push is a social project which helps people to develop new positive behaviors. Every day participants of a 30-days challenge should do 4 simple things: - to learn something new - to exercise - to do an act of kindness - to meditate I've curated a lot of content from edx and coursera online courses, a…

Oh wow, that's really cool! The popularization of cognitive science and psychology has resulted in some really great stuff, can't wait to see what this is! Let's keep reading the comment.

>- to learn something new

Awesome! I love learning new things! I bet this app/whatever has a lot of cool programmed learning tricks to make this great like spaced repetition or elaborative rehearsal. This sounds really cool.

>- to exercise

That's awesome too! Exercise is scientifically strongly linked to a variety of good outcomes for mental and physical health, so it should really be in an app like this.

>- to do an act of kindness

That's pretty advanced! The research about how gift-giving and similarly altruistic behavior is useful isn't as popular as the exercise research, this must be a really cool app with a lot of great empirically-minded ways to "push" you into having better habits!

>- to meditate

....oh. I guess it's just a new age/woowoo thing. Time to move on I guess. That's really disappointing.

Really hope you remove meditation; hokey religions have no place in the modern nudge-engineered world.
