Re:Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project? on Thursday May 14, 2020 @11:45AM (#23180903)
I'm building it as a web app.

I'm still undecided on whether hosting it myself or just releasing it as a self-contained stand-alone app (startup script launching a lightweight webserver and opening a new tab in the browser).

There are pros and cons with each approach and I'm making up my mind on the best one to follow

A spaced-repetition software, inspired by SuperMemo and Anki.

I'm working on reaching the simplicity of Anki, while keeping more features like in SuperMemo, e.g. native support for incremental reading.

It's still in early stage but almost usable. I'm planning to push the repository on GitHub as soon as the last couple of to-dos are finished.

This is the course I attended: https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/courses/search . It may be difficult at first but it's definitely worth it

You are right. After a 10 days course of Vipassana my focus and attention span greatly improved. But you need to keep practicing. I kept practicing for about a month then I stopped. After stopping, slowly I acquired again the old habit of getting easily distracted. I need to take that (free) course again.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. Since NeuroRacer doesn't seem to be available, are there any other good games «to promote “interference-resisting abilities”»?
Re:Ask HN: Front-end “design patterns”? on Saturday March 07, 2015 @03:58PM (#9163110)
@mattmanser the op asked specifically for UI patterns: "To give an obvious example of what I'm looking for- I would say, use margins to separate multiple instances of same components (among other uses)."
Re:Show HN: One click image optimization for GitHub on Tuesday December 23, 2014 @10:54AM (#8788605)
Gaining the confidence of the user is not easy:

1) I think you should state explicitly that the compression is lossless (if it is);

2) You should provide some kind of demos/examples to look at.

Good job anyway!
