Convek https://convek.dev/ It's an API (first one) for soaring specific weather data, based on RASP, for paragliders, instrument makers etc. 24 sign ups and ~5 active users, no subscribers yet (one person paid for a month though!). Along with widgets and daily emails for gliding clubs. Trying to get every country but, waiting for some users to add another server (RASP is very compute heavy)
Awesome! Glad it helps. Let me know if you have any bugs or feature requests.

Stewart was a peak human.

If you watch Computer Chronicles, you will notice that little to nothing has actually changed in computing in 40 years.

Show HN: A global synchronized meditation bell website to connect us

https://waake.onrender.com/

Inspired by a (not so) recent HN discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45421067), I (vibe) coded a site where anyone can meditate together with synchronized bells, in real time.The goal is simple: if it helps people feel connected, even briefly, that's a small victory.Try it here: https://waake.onrender.com/Feedback welcome, especially on any improvements you think could make it more...

Never a nice surprise when I find rm -rf / --no-preserve-root in a public repo, apart from this time!

Also, found one of the easter eggs!

If you have it on every hour, that's ~£0.00228 per bell.
This is beautiful, thank you.

Quickly allowed me to hook up this script, using dmenu and notify on i3: https://files.catbox.moe/vbhtg0.jpg

And then trigger it with Mod+l for super quick answers as I'm working! Priceless <3
