Show HN: A GitHub App That Turns Checkboxes into To-Do's

I built a GitHub app that checks for uncompleted checkboxes within pull request comments and blocks the merge if found.This allows you to treat checkboxes as to-do’s and:* Open pull requests with a to-do list template -> make sure all steps are completed before merging* Leave to-do reminders for yourself as you work on a pull request* Leave to-do reminders for someone else as part of your...

Thank you for the warning and I completely understand. I didn't aggressively ask for upvotes/comments, but I did share the excitement from adding my own work to Show HN for the first time. I will stay away from sharing my HN submissions the next time.

Thx, great idea! This was a spur-of-the-moment kind of project. I will add analytics in the coming days and if people keep using it I will make improvements :)

Thx for checking this out! I will look into it - I don't generate the PDF at the moment, it's really the HTML that's getting sent to print. So not an easy change right now.

Inspired by Minimal[1] and Netnik[2] printable calendars, I wanted a way to fit as many habits on a single sheet of paper as possible.This is very much a work-in-progress, so beware of bugs. I will flush it out over the next few days. Happy New Year, everyone![1] https://useminimal.com/habit-tracker [2] https://neatnik.net/calendar/

I am a backend developer (RoR stack, with some UI chops). I used to work for a well-known US company remotely, got let go a week ago. Right now I'm catching a breath and deciding what's next. I might work on my own projects + freelance for a while.

A small neighbourhood bakery with a large diesel generator in Lviv that stayed open every day since the war in Ukraine started. Even during complete power blackouts they stayed open, brewed coffee, baked croissants, and let everyone charge their devices. Nowadays it's overrun with programmers like me as it's a reliable source of power and internet.
My small Bluetti EB70 that lets me take hot showers when Russians launch rockets at our infrastructure and disconnect whole cities from the grid.
Electrical engineers that keep fixing the grid so that my Bluetti can charge from time to time.

> Retirement forces you to stop thinking that it is your job that holds you back. For most people the depressing truth is that they aren't that organized, disciplined, or motivated.
This resonates. I took a 1-year sabbatical after 12 years in the tech industry. I kept a big text file with all the things I wanted to do once I had the time. When I finally did, I realized I only wanted to do one thing from that list (of 30+ items). The rest sounded good on paper, but I never had the motivation to do them. This was a harsh realization, but now when I think "I wish I had time to...", I know it's an illusion. We tend to make time for what we really want. Overall, it was useful to realize.

I was a remote full-time solo developer for a client (small UK-based medical team) for 6 years. All work done over email; 2 phone calls in all those years.
Could some things be done faster over a phone call? Probably. However, both me and the client preferred the async nature of emails and avoided calls as much as possible.

Thank you for bringing up the thought patterns that get formed during the burnout or depression. This rings true, and I haven't thought much about it.

Ask HN: What to do on a year long sabbatical?
I am 30 years old (no spouse or kids), a software developer about to go on a year-long sabbatical after burning out at the current job.The burn-out is so bad that it's difficult to even get excited about the upcoming sabbatical. I know once I rest a bit, the ideas for what to do will come.But I am curious to hear from anyone who had done a similar thing. What did you end up doing? What came of...

I stumbled upon https://www.dailycodingproblem.com/ recently and it's the first time I want to pay for a newsletter. I don't need to pass a coding interview, but I used to be a competition programmer in high school and love thinking of tricky coding problems to solve. The newsletter includes a detailed solution to each problem (the next day.) What a great idea.
I also used to pay for http://railscasts.com/ by Ryan Bates - back when it was a paid subscription. I paid for how succinct the information was organized, despite there being a tonne of other Ruby blogs out there.
