I'm Joe, one of the founders of ForestCity - a campaign to build a new city for one million people just east of Cambridge, UK.

This game makes use of the context we've gathered through our planning, research, and scoping for the project to build it into a cozy city-builder game.

Hope you enjoy!

I was at a house party full of non-tech YUPPies (economics, politics, etc.) over the weekend. Every single group was talking about ChatGPT. I couldn't get away from it.
Re:Analytics data you can trust on Thursday February 04, 2021 @05:00AM (#26024141)
Hey hackers! I'm on the Iteratively team - we're super excited to be improving the analytics story for developers.

I've personally implemented Google Analytics, MixPanel, Amplitude, and some other event analytics libraries. It always felt a bit weird to call a totally un-typed analytics api from TypeScript/Kotlin/etc. Iteratively code-gens a typed analytics SDK, so analytics gets type-checked at dev-time.

SES Templates: https://sestemplates.com/ I built it over a weekend to scratch an itch. It's useful, it works, but needs some sales/marketing effort.

They could make JoeDocs sites (joedocs.com) and have them either publicly editable or only viewable. They feel like GoogleDocs to edit, but have video chat, public visibility, custom domain names, etc.

Disclaimer, I am on the founding team of JoeDocs.

Re:Show HN: A Social Icon Repository on Wednesday October 10, 2018 @07:16AM (#18183764)
Unfortunately those are the official icons - they don't provide SVGs or higher res images through their brand guidelines. I wasn't sure if it'd be worth finding copies of them elsewhere.
