Hello HN,I just launched Brick 1100, a mobile app that simulates the Nokia 1100, so that you can experience this iconic brick phone with your smartphone.It's a simple side project but I really had a great time building it.Happy to hear your thoughts and questions, or share more details if anyone's curious about its implementation and building process.

Ask HN: How to get over the feeling of being inferior?

Posted by khangnd on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @03:01AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm nearly at my 30s now, I have been living a, somewhat mediocre life, born in a developing country, grew up in an average family, neither poor nor rich, received some proper education. Although I do feel blessed compared to a lot of other people, being healthy, having an ok-looking appearance, with a decently paid job and all, but at times, I still feel unconfident, question my own abilities...

Re:A CSS framework to recreate Windows 7 GUI on Sunday August 29, 2021 @12:34AM (#28344175)
Agree, it still looks stiff and far from the 7 GUI. Would you care to elaborate more on the breakpoints you talk about, or is there any good resource I could take to learn more? Thanks.

Ask HN: Is it legal to simulate a product? (Windows in this case)

I admit, I'm pretty dense when it comes to copyright/licensing topics, so here's the question: Is it legal to build websites/apps that simulate the Windows operating system and use icons and images which are copyrighted by Microsoft? I have seen quite some such as these webs/apps:* http://windows93.net/* https://98.js.org/* https://winxp.vercel.app/* https://desk.glitchy.website/*...

Re:Show HN: Ease your dev life with these general naming rules on Sunday January 17, 2021 @01:47AM (#25808724)
As stated in the repo, you could just go with anything, just pick one for your project, and follow. The general rule that applies here is consistency.

So let's say in PHP, the preferred convention is snake_cake, then use it for the whole project. Then if you are working on a JS project, which the team demands camelCase, then just follow it.

There could be some cases, like in your 3rd example, the team applies camelCase for normal variables, and snake_cake for properties. Again, you still have to follow if it is something the team has agreed.
