Seriously or are you trolling? If so, it's some strange bug, Kids friendly is not a category assigned to that activity

Well it is FDA approved to treat epilepsy in children :-)

Didn't HN just get in an uproar over T Mobile disallowing marketing texts where the topic was illegal in one state but legal in another?

So do we want legal-in-some states items or not?

This list includes taking drugs? Do you think it should have an age acceptance for terms and conditions?

Caffeine is a drug yet there's the fad of collecting donations via "buy me a coffee". Or as you might call it "buy drugs for me".

Not all drugs are bad, not all drugs are illegal.

A couple of thoughts: I’m unable to go back with my browser’s ’Back’ key. not being able to revisit an activity reduces the site’s usefulness. Also, I’d recommend adding a feature that lets users add activities.

Noted, thank you!

Who is "we"? There's more than one person commenting on HN and they don't always agree.

It’s also commonly used for treating parenthood in parents.

No, we use THC for that, CBD is for physical back pains.

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 factor…

I'd remove "Try CBD" and "Space Cake" once you've got more options. The latter is still illegal in many places and for the former is just gauche.

CBD = Central Business District too. Worth a try!

Really cool can definitely use something like this, thanks! Even more activities would be great.

Suggestions:

- Perhaps a way to view all activities? or activities within the specified selections rather than having to use the suprise

- I noticed repeating activities before hitting the 70 limit, perhaps some memory?

Some 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…

At a basic level astronomy requires you to wait until twilight or dusk, and then tilt your head up :-), which costs nothing. You can also enhance it with an night sky app which are usually free too. If you have binoculars hanging around grab them.
