Ask HN: A Dashcam for My Computer?

Posted by gduverger on Friday February 05, 2021 @10:59PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I would like a browser extension or menu bar app that continuously record the last 60 seconds of my browser or screen activity.A use case would be that I use an app; I run into a bug; I click “Save” and turn that 60 seconds video into a ticket.Does it exist?

Re:Show HN: Fitmeal – Food Tracker via SMS on Tuesday April 07, 2020 @03:29PM (#22806607)
Today I am launching Fitmeal v2!

4 years after I started working on v1 and it's still the simplest, most obvious way to track your eating habits—just text what you eat.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Re:Show HN: Ctrl+f – NLP API to find and replace named entities on Saturday April 04, 2020 @04:21PM (#22781184)
When I was working on Fitmeal, back in 2016, I implemented a large NLP module to find food entities in text messages.

This week, I refactored that code and made it accessible through an API.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Re:Show HN: Crono, an open-source programmatic time-based job scheduler on Sunday March 29, 2020 @03:36PM (#22721958)
Hi, HN. I made Crono. I've been working on it on and off for 2 years and I just open sourced it today.

It's still a bit rough around the edges, some tasks are missing (email and message), and I have to write more unit tests but it's a start and a foundation to build upon.

I was hoping to get some early feedback. Thanks.

Oh, no. I can't seem to be able to reproduce. Which OS and browser are you seeing this on?
Re:Screen – a CSS for desktops, tablets, & phones on Thursday February 06, 2020 @12:09PM (#22257867)
Good point. Thanks for your feedback. I will try to focus the next version on a more specific use case.
Re:Startup Ideas on Thursday January 30, 2020 @10:18AM (#22191871)
I have always loved working on side projects. It has been a great source of learning and opened many professional doors. The challenge is that I have more ideas than time. Help me decide which project I should focus on in 2020.

As part of a design refresh of my personal website, I released version 0.2.0 of Screen. I would love to get some feedback and, hopefully, more people using it. It is open source under a MIT License.

Thank you, detaro. Good feedback. I'll make some edits.

Ask HN: Docs for web-based job scheduler

Posted by gduverger on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @07:43AM
from the ask-hn dept.

As I am building a v2 for Crono, a web-based job scheduler, I decided to write the documentation first. I figured it would be the best way to gather feedback from other devs. Here it is: https://crono.com/. What do you think? Is it clear enough? Is it missing some important functionalities?

Ask HN: How to call straightforward devs?

Posted by gduverger on Saturday December 15, 2018 @02:55PM
from the ask-hn dept.

As I think about the subset of software developers who are building small to medium-scale web products, care about users but not as much about engineering (or at least want it abstracted), I am trying to find an accurate, empowering, and fun designation for it. Any suggestions: straightforward devs, nonchalant devs, effective devs, lean devs…?

Re:Ask HN: I am building Lazylog (logging for lazy devs) in public rig... on Sunday December 09, 2018 @03:44PM (#18643142)
You're right. Email addresses aren't the best example of “universal messages” for the reason you mentioned. Thanks for bringing it up.
