Already went through the first few chapters on this one. Really good! Good pacing and structure

This excellent article on dithering also explains blue noise in a simple way

It's implied in this article (in Dutch) that the municipality of Spijkenisse funded it. At no more cost than building 'normal' bridges, as they had planned originally

Really enjoy reading Ridgeline, keep it up! Very relaxing. Inspired me to go walking in Japan and it was just as great as described in the articles
Re:Framer's Magic Motion on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @01:03AM (#33876432)
Excellent article. Explains the FLIP concept in CSS animation performance. Doesn't really have much to do with Framer, besides it being the inspiration for the article
Re:Show HN: Trading cards made with e-ink displays on Wednesday November 30, 2022 @01:17AM (#33797589)
Could be a really cool way to play complex "choose your own adventure" games. Like "Hand of Fate" for example, you'd only need three or four cards. Could even do it with two. A game like "Reigns" you could even play with a single card

Tweakers is a Dutch tech-related interest website

Well found, images are so slow on original link

Zelda & Chill by GameChops is a good one. GameChops has a lot of other lo-fi video game soundtrack covers that are great for programming, in my experience

Best one
Re:Tell HN: Netlify changing Starter plan on Thursday June 30, 2022 @03:36PM (#31937475)
It's not unreasonable, however 30 days seems a bit on the short side. I have 15+ repos that I'll need to review. Another thing that would be nice is if the affected sites would be tagged in the Netlify dashboard or mentioned in the email. That would make the review process a bit easier

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I'll make sure to add a privacy policy soon. Basically the email address is just to send you an email in case you forget your password. Content is encrypted using https://github.com/ankane/lockbox default setup I've been considering adding optional end-to-end encryption as well, but am a bit afraid people might lose access to content forever if they lose access to keys. Thanks also on the remark about the company, looking at it I can see how it might be a bit ambiguous. I'll make sure to clarify it further on the about page. Basically it's a company called Unless which is my business entity as a freelancer. I am Lars Böhm, webdeveloper/designer from Amsterdam. If you have any further feedback it is always appreciated, and thank you again
Re:Life Monitor on Wednesday May 25, 2022 @09:48AM (#31504466)
Thank you for the feedback, that's a good point. I was toying with the idea before but not quite sure what the right approach would be, from a technical perspective. I suppose I could just save everything on a dummy user and clean them up every 24 hours or something. I'll have to look into it.

On the topic of the platform. I started out making it for myself and some friends, with some success. Some time ago I did a Show HN where I didn't get any feedback at all, and since then I've been a bit hesitant to put in any more dev hours. So it's good to hear that you were intrigued

Re:Life Monitor on Wednesday May 25, 2022 @06:49AM (#31502674)
Good point, I'll add some photos and a video later this week. There are a few screenshots on Producthunt here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/simple-journal
Re:Life Monitor on Wednesday May 25, 2022 @05:43AM (#31502321)
I've been working on a platform that allows you to log and track daily events https://www.simplejournal.online/

I've been more focused on collecting rather than processing the data and giving automated feedback, like what you're doing with your telegram bot. I really like that aspect. Very cool setup

Hello HN!

I've been working on Simple Journal for some time now. The concept came into being after I noticed more and more people picking up journaling. I became interested in the topic and started to research ways to make it easier to turn journaling into a habit. I'm an avid Duolingo user and I've always been very impressed with how they handle multi day streaks, and in particular, how well they worked for me in making a habit out of using Duolingo. So I added streaks to journaling and that concept turned into Simple Journal. After that I wanted a more granular control over the things I was tracking in my journaling, so I added a way to track and chart various types of activities.

I hope you like it, do let me know what you think.

Looks nice, but the advertisements make it almost unusable on mobile. Although they don't always seem to show up
You might have an android device wider than 575px, this is the media query that's causing it:

``` @media (max-width: 575px) h2 { position: relative; overflow-x: hidden; } ```

overflow-x:hidden makes overflow-y:auto, which is scroll

Pretty cool.

If anyone associated with the project reads this: All of the headings on bridgetownrb.com seem to have a scroll overflow, which stops your page scrolling on mobile.

Nice explantation of the topic by Two Minute Papers on YouTube: https://youtu.be/B-zxoJ9o7s0
This article doesn't actually get into what the idea is. Instead, it explains the entire history of the world hoping you don't notice the idea is missing

"Although Goodenough will not spell out his precise new idea, he thinks he is on to something."

Oh yeah that stuff is like concrete when it dries up. Already had to replace my bin. Good luck with your starter, exciting! Mine is a year and a half old now. Amazing how it just keeps going
I started baking bread after coming across this article on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22625590 I found it to be a nice, accessible way to get started, with clear and simple instructions. Later on I cultivated a sourdough starter and am using that instead of instant yeast, but still following the same steps. (One learning point that took me too long to realize is that everything becomes much easier if you use high protein flour, more rise. Healthier starter.)
Re:Ask HN: Programming 101 online course recommendations? on Sunday November 29, 2020 @03:44PM (#25247918)
https://learnprogramming.online/ is a great place to start if you're looking to learn about web development
I'm getting a horizontal scroll on mobile, portrait on a Pixel 3 Chrome. Looks interesting, works well. I think the design could be a bit tighter
Re:Show HN: I wrote about book about rebasing in Git on Friday January 31, 2020 @04:47AM (#22200358)
That's really cool, the hand-drawn charts are super clear. I've never considered rebasing but I'll give it a go on my next project
Re:Show HN: I built a browser based interactive React course on Monday January 20, 2020 @05:50AM (#22097943)
Just got started and I particularly like the flashcards, seems like a nice and simple way to practice regularly. The free tier of the app is also a nice and complete way to get to know the ecosystem, I'm surprised with the amount of content
