Thanks!

Fair question. Honestly, the Million Dollar Homepage delighted me twenty years ago and I've had this idea in my head ever since. It was fun (maybe even therapeutic?) to finally see it take shape after all these years.

Hi HN. This is a homage to the Million Dollar Homepage, twenty years on, but instead of a flat grid of pixels it's a tower of exactly 1,000,000 bricks.

You can purchase a single break and engrave up to 20 characters, or purchase multiple bricks and upload a photo to create a mural. Just like the OG, every order can carry a link and a short description that show on hover.

Thanks for the suggestions! I hadn't seen the cart permalinks before, but that might work well for us.

I have a site (https://familytreechart.com) with a similar integration with Shopify but one thing I've never figured out is how to send someone to Shopify's checkout page with a preconfigured cart. It looks like you are managing the cart on the nextjs side. How are you generating the checkout page with the right items? I've resorted to creating a DraftOrder, but those don't allow for discount codes so I also had to handle that on my end when creating the draft order. Email in profile if easier.

The article is a beast but there is a lot of good information in there. I find that I try to do as much as possible from the keys when I'm doing programming related tasks. An IDE like vscode is a good mix of UI and CLI for me.

That being said, I've been excited in the past seeing a new take on IDE's with things like LightTable (I'm not positive that's the name...) which have pushed the needle even further on the UI/CLI balance.

Shameless plug for https://heyhabit.com (I'm the dev). It's meant to be used as a chrome extension that takes over the new tab in Chrome, but you can try it from the website. I've been using it for ~2 years now and it works really well off and on. I've discovered that it's really helpful for getting me back on track when I fall off the horse. Because the calendar maintains what a "successful" week looks like for me, it eliminates some of the mental energy required to regroup.

I developed a chrome extension, Hey Habit (bit.ly/heyHabit), to help me with this. I add my long term goals as projects and then set up reoccurring tasks to make them happen.

There's also a web version at heyhabit.com.

This looks really nice! I'd love to see it include the mpaa rating and be able to filter by it.

This is awesome! I've been really frustrated with music lately and have been wanting something like this. Thanks for making and sharing.

Good thought. The freedom of working for yourself can promote laziness and reduced productivity since you don't feel accountable to anyone but yourself.

Same post on Medium... just in case. https://medium.com/@keslertanner/i-quit-my-job-today-is-day-...
