A new word gets revealed after typing 25 words. If you create a good one, do share your story here :)p.s. 'writen' in the url is not a typo. Originally the page had ten prompt words, so write + ten = wriTen
p.s. there's a help file at https://randomlocation.xyz/help.txt
I stopped using Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok etc long back for various reasons. But that left me wanting a simple feed of interesting content because I think that really has some value. So I built one for myself using public APIs and free datasets. I have been using it for couple years now. Thought I should share it wth HN, because why not.Here’s how it works: every few minutes, a cron job...
You can change your radius and there are some modes that you can use which are listed at https://randomlocation.xyz/help.txtIt's a non-commercial fun thing I created for my own use. Give it a try
And it's been such a blast. It has taken me to places I would have never visited. It amazes me how much beauty around us we miss out on by not having enough randomness in our life. 20-30 sessions later, I am still discovering new parks and restaurants around me.
Try it?
-------------
Some tidbits:
- The page needs your location to suggest random locations around you
- No information is being saved at the backend. No cookies either.
- You can change the radius by adding ?d= parameter in url. For example https://randomlocation.xyz/?d=10 will suggest locations in 10 miles radius of your current location. Default is 2.5 miles.
- There is a "chained mode" which can be activated by adding c=1 to the url. By doing this, second location will calculated based on first location and third location will calculated based on second location, instead of all locations being calculated from the starting point
- There is a "hop mode" which can be activated by adding h=1 to the url. By doing this, you will be suggested a far off location in the first and then three nearby locations to that location. It's good for exploring nearby towns, villages or even countries. (h=100 will suggest first location within 100 miles)
- All modes can be clubbed if one wants
Caution: Please do not go to remote places alone. Be wise.
Note: I want to present this as a concept and not a full featured product that’s ready for pro users.Problem I have faced with vertically expanding trees like workflowy/dynalist is that it’s hard to quickly navigate to a specific descendant node. With CardFlow that’s pretty easy, try it yourself.I wish somebody will use this side-expanding tree concept and make a full featured app. I want to...
Hi HN, this is something I created for my personal use and I have been using it daily for a long time now. It’s a page that shows top 25 links from the sources mentioned in the title. Updates every 10 minutes through a cron job and new links are always added to the top.Some more details: It’s using simple heuristics like minimum upvotes/comments to select the links. For techmeme, only the first...

I created this tool for myself and have been using it every morning for more one year. The list is updated every 10 minutes and new links are added at the top. The links are chosen based on certain criteria like minimum votes and comments.
What do you personally believe is going on?
For a pet project I need general words substituted with a random particular.Example, if I write [country] [color], it could give out: Argentina Green or India Blue. Or anything random from the set of all terms having a country name followed by a color name.I have looked into wikidata, but results haven't been satisfactory.
