Show HN: Style Matplotlib Plots in the Browser

https://www.plot2plot.com/

Hi HN! A friend and I built a web tool for creating and styling matplotlib plots in the browser. You can try it out at https://www.plot2plot.com/We think this tool is a great resource for beginners and Pyhton data scientists. It displays a component tree of the plot, lets you tweak methods and arguments interactively, and generates the corresponding Python code—so you can copy, paste, and...

Re:Fuckthis.app – Software products for exasperated people on Friday October 25, 2024 @02:37PM (#41948236)
This comes to mind whenever I get screwed over by big corporate (Hi there, Lenovo). Perhaps the website could be just a ranking of products and have people vote/downvote/comment and add additional info. The problem with these platforms is that they are super biased (only angry customers will visit to downvote). I get making a bad-product ranking website to advise potential customers, but how to avoid it becoming an echo chamber?

I made a website where you can play chess puzzles against Stockfish.

I had the idea for a website where you can play chess puzzles, but if you make the wrong move, the puzzle turns into a game against Stockfish. This opens the door to either find alternative solutions or fail miserably (at some point you realize you are not following the puzzle any more). I think its a more engaging way to play puzzles!

This is my first online project, feedback is highly appreciated!
