Show HN: Free, interactive digital logic content

https://www.betterdl.com

I absolutely suffered through Digital Logic in school and have been thinking about this for a while.I always found the resources to be super dated and hard to understand, so I created something that I hope is better.It's currently all free, I might charge for it at some point, not sure.For now, I'd just love any feedback :)

Solo dev – thinking a lot about death.

About a year ago, my grandpa showed me a note on his phone called "WHEN I DIE" with banking, insurance, property, investment, and other information in it. It really didn't sit right with me.

The past couple months I've been working on a more comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to document our (for better or worse) complicated lives and I'm just starting to show people.

It's free. It's anonymous. There's no tracking. Download the document if you want to work offline.

It's just something I think should existing in the world.

Maybe I'll put it on Gumroad or something. Maybe I'll make some kind of hosted version one day... idk, shrug.

Feel free to check it out, lmk if it's helpful to you or you think there's anything I should add: https://deathdocument.com

Show HN: Poopyfeed – free, private, no account newborn tracking

When our daughter was born in December we needed to log diapers, feedings, etc.We tried a bunch of apps, which were good, but overkill for what we needed.I spent the last few weeks building Poopyfeed to scratch our own itch – and I'm pretty proud of it.It's made our lives a lot easier and helped my wife, grandparents, and I stay in sync.It's very important to my wife and I that this project...

I think you're right @sakopov. Luckily, I don't intend on adding ads here :)

I'm just glad to share this site with the community and hope people get some value from it!

@paulpauper, it's pretty much a UI on top of the awesome Stock News API (https://stocknewsapi.com).

I really just built it to get acquainted with Elixir + Phoenix, and wanted to share it with the community :)

Thanks @kuzee! Much appreciated :)

I appreciate that info on LiveView, I plan on digging into it!

The public-facing pages of this site aren't currently using LiveView, but I see it on the horizon.

For speed considerations, I'm actually caching news stories in memory using the excellent Cachex (https://github.com/whitfin/cachex) library.

I really appreciate both points of view here! Thanks for your feedback :)

I honestly just built this project as a tool to aggregate market news for myself and build something simple with Elixir + Phoenix.

I don't have any plans to add commentary – but I do intend to keep it running and building things that are helpful to myself and the community!

Hey @jedwhite! Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! Yeah I'm pretty much relaying from https://stocknewsapi.com :)

I've been using them for about 2 years and they have an awesome team and service.

Thanks, much appreciated! I'm glad you find it somewhat useful :)

Honestly, it was super simple to put together; I pull data from https://stocknewsapi.com, which I've found to be very high quality and reliable (I'm using their sentiment classifications as well, so not exactly sure what model is behind that).

The project isn't currently open source, but I'm definitely considering it. I built it with Elixir + Phoenix, with a couple main objectives:

- Familiarize myself with Tailwind - Set up a really smooth developer experience - Learn about deploying Elixir + Phoneix apps - Build something of some use!

I'd love to see your project as well – happy to discuss more!

Elixir + Phoenix

- Oban for background jobs - Cachex for in-memory caching - Tailwind for styling - Hosted on Gigalixir

This stack is the most productive I've ever been

We took up karate together with my childhood sensei over Zoom. It super fun, more interesting than just working out, and a great bonding experience.

DM me if you want my sensei's contact details, she's joyful and makes the sessions great.

Mad props to the team at Vercel! I used Next.js once a few years ago when it first came out and it left me wanting... but I'm super glad I gave it another go now.

Seamless dev experience, great docs, and pleased with performance. Highly recommend if you're looking to build a React app.

Show HN: I built the stock market research tool I wanted

Hey everybody, last year my friends and I got fed up with the lack of good mobile market research tools.We started building the tool we'd want to use, and it spiraled into a pretty sophisticated iOS app. We launched it 2 weeks ago and are feeling pretty good! I'd love to get HN's thoughts on it too.Tech stack:Postgres + Redis + Node + GraphQL (Apollo) + React Native + ExpoLinks in the...
