Improving the accuracy and robustness of gps on mobile devices -- https://www.zephr.xyz/ Real physics and computational communication problems. Crazy tech, fun stuff!!

I've been suspecting for a long time that Google might be doing something similar. Of course you need enough devices around (and internet) for this to work but it's pretty cool, I hope it takes off. Maybe a device manufacturer will be interested in this and buy/fund you.

This is a really clever idea, and worked great on mobile as well. Is there a way to choose to display the code window underneath the documentation instead of on top?

Thanks for the kind words! Not currently, can you elaborate why you'd want to the code window at the bottom?

I think I'd also like an option for the code window to be at the bottom. Generally when I'm reading blogs/articles on my phone I put the line of text I'm reading at the top of my screen.

The code being up the top felt like it was in the way of where I was naturally expecting the line I wanted to read was.

Also, I think this is great! Definitely something I'd want for my documentation.

I'm working on a tool that easily allows you to theme your UI using CSS variables called Blueberry. https://www.getblueberry.io/ The idea is that each CSS variable becomes a widget and then the Blueberry endpoint will serve those variables so you can let your users customize profile pages/portals and other places they integrate with you UI.

Neat idea!

This is great feedback, not something I initially considered. I've add it to my todo list

I’ve been working on a free rss client. It runs as a PWA on mobile phones, and is very simple, and fast. Don’t even have a landing page yet, but you can sign up for free. https://app.srssly.com

What a coincidence I'm looking for an RSS client right now.

I know it's crass, but why? Aren't terminals good enough

I wish somebody built an emulator as fast as xterm and as configurable as something like kitty. Until then, xterm it is.

Have you tried 'wezTerm'?

I’ve been working on a synthetic DNA assembly company. Basically, I figured out how to assemble DNA for people at a fraction of what it normally costs, so they give me a sequence, and then I make it in real life for them, then ship it to them. Most of my customers have been AI protein designers, ironically. Turns out SOMEBODY has to wrangle atoms in the real biological world and that’s me! After almost a year of work…

That is some seriously cool stuff.

I built a tool to help automatically conserve email storage (so you don't pay for more).

https://www.mailsweeper.co/

It creates a new label in your inbox, auto labels according to your preferences, and periodically moves those emails to trash can.

Built to avoid me/my wife going over the free Gmail storage limit
