Show HN: A little browser game I made after seeing a viral dance video

I built this game after seeing a viral video on YouTube where people were dancing to a music warmup routine. It looked so fun that I wondered what it would be like if the video could actually track your movements and give you a score, instead of just watching and following along.It’s all meant to be lighthearted. No account needed, no ads, no onboarding. You just open the site, start dancing,...

Yes, I agree. They should still call their love ones themselves. CallCare adds a layer of protection to analyze the call for any early sign of mental wellness decline. Similar to how they should check for blood pressure even if everything is normal, catching symptoms early can help start treatment or preventive measure before it's too late.

Re:Ask HN: How can I pick a side project and stick with it? on Monday April 06, 2020 @01:40PM (#22795864)
It's great to see so many people sharing the same challenge I have as well. As developers, we always want to build things. Things we find interesting. Maybe we "finish" some of them. Maybe we don't ever finish something because there's always improvements to be made.

"Meaningful progress" also is hard to define. One day you feel it's "save humanity level" meaningful. The other day is just lines of codes that don't work.

Some companies like JotForm evolved from a side project, but not all side project will become an actual business.

I think the reason why we even call side project a side project is because we have options.

It's ok to fail. It's okay to explore, experiment, and create. As long as it doesn't deeply offend your core values, side projects are supposed to be fun.

If it blossom into something that you can't ignore, then you will come back to it no matter what.

I wrote an article back in the days when I documented why I couldn't start a side project here: https://medium.com/swlh/this-is-why-you-will-never-start-tha...
