The first suggestion that appeared for me was “Trying CBD”. Is that really a “unique activity idea for the holiday break”?
If you do like 80-100mg, yes it def can be! Add freestyle yoga or deep house-cleaning and you’re in for a good day.

#12Some things I noticed: The list is fairly short (70 activities total). Once filtered it would be easier to simply display all matching activities. Many of the "Low" cost activities have significant upfront costs. I wouldn't describe Archery as "low cost", nor describe Astronomy or a board game night as Free activities! It was easier just to read the raw JSON than browse the site. ( The activities are https://www.what…
Not sure about archery and astronomy, but free board game meetups are pretty common. There’s normally plenty of people bringing games that you don’t need to bring any yourself.

Thanks for the feedback! It is short yes, mostly because I didn't want to spend more time on it before showing it to somebody. If the feedback is positive I'll add more. About displaying all activities, it's a good point, I though it was more fun to get one at a time, but I might add the display all as another option. And about the categories, I hear you, but take it with a grain of salt, those depends on many factors. For example I consider board game night free because where I am there are many pubs with games you can play. Same with archery, I've been in places where with 20euros or less you can try it for one hour..so yes, it depends.

For me astronomy night would be much longer than an hour, and yeah not free because of fuel costs.
More like 3-4 hours, and low (but not zero) cost.

#16Neat! In the same spirit I'm trying to put together a minimalist gaming platform for kids that want to learn how to code. The gratification of a game is such that messing with the code if you have access to the source is a given and so far all my kids have taken to hacking on the games almost as fast as they did to playing them. Mission accomplished, nothing like seeing a 7 year old modifying a game and uploading it…
Sounds great! I could probably use it myself, I'm still learning the basics.
Neat, I am working on the thing right now and will soon post an article on how it is all put together. What really interests me is to lower the barrier to programming as far as possible but not to have it be some visual stuff where you click things together.

How do you clean deep house music? The stuff I listen to is fairly clean as is?

#18just give me a button so that I can look at the list, or pre-cache the future results. it's obnoxious to spam a button over and over again on a website with poor performance from click-til-load.

Makes sense, thank you! For now, I'd suggest to reload the page for a quick reset
