Well done and keep at it.

Here's my 2 cents. This is a very difficult market to crack. On one hand you have Pinterest which is littered with individual trip guides and most likely your early adopters to generate content. However, they are NOT the right consumers to spend money on this.

Figure out the right niche in this market, it's very sparse!

Hi folks,The backstory to this is that I build a lot of web based products.It's common to have a different stack for my homepage than the "rest" of my product (after login/signup).I normally do not care what stack or technology the homepage uses. I don't even care if the code is inefficient. I just want it to work properly on Desktop/Mobile and I want it to look professional.Why not select from...

Nice! Traveling can be overwhelming. This is another great tool folks can use to help prep for their trip [since it's a CLI your market will naturally be developer focused]. I built https://trrip.co - much less about search and google maps, and much more about sorting itinerary in a chronological way. Both can coexist!

Kudos! This is a great project. I have one bone to pick, though. Had a show stopper issue a few months back with capacitor and the entire Ionic team was unresponsive, even on github. The issue was sending cookies to the server. Cookie would get set on the response but subsequent requests would not include the cookie. This was extremely aggravating and I had to halt my development. Relevant Github issue: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/1373. Would be great to know if a solution was ever found.

Good suggestion, you mean post a link to a demo trip on the landing page or post here?

I've done a lot of travel over the past couple years and my trip itinerary has always been there to make things run smoothly. Well, I've finally decided to codify this process. No more quip docs or google docs, just https://trrip.co. A home for your trip itinerary.

Re:Bits of Empathy – talk about loneliness, relationships, family, and... on Monday September 02, 2019 @09:32PM (#20863030)
Hey folks,

It took me a couple days but I put together https://bitsofempathy.co to create a space for talking about things like loneliness, relationships, family, and career. It's less about giving advice and more about showing empathy. Surprisingly, that might just be what we need in order to solve our own problems. Hope this can help someone. Would be grateful for any feedback as well.

Re:How to read CC data from MagTek reader into web form? on Thursday August 10, 2017 @07:31PM (#14985344)
omg i see. That makes a lot of sense. Will test this out. Thanks a lot :)
Re:How to read CC data from MagTek reader into web form? on Thursday August 10, 2017 @05:20PM (#14984411)
Interesting, that's really useful. But, assuming I have MagTek connected via USB to the computer, how does this code "listen" for the swipe? It looks like it can handle parsing the data just fine, but my question is how to get the data from the swipe into the javascript for parsing

How to read CC data from MagTek reader into web form?

I'm not looking to use Square.I know about Jeffrey Malone and MagRead.I also know about 'node-hid'.I'm just looking for an easy way to swipe a credit card, and just print the data in a web form so you don't have to actually manually type the cc number, expir date, etc. Is this possible?
