Hi, I am the developer of "Virtualord, The Virtual Conqueror", an indie Turn Based Strategy game for PC (Windows & Linux).

Today I released a first announcement trailer, let me know if it's something that you would like to try out and I'll be happy to post more soon.

Ask HN: What data visualization about Hacker News would you like to see?

Posted by vivaladav on Monday January 15, 2018 @10:45AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have been working for a while on a tool called HN EPLORER, which uses the HN API to acquire data from the website and then process it to do visualization and interactive searches.Today I acquired all the data from 2017 and I will be soon blogging about it.I was wondering what kind of charts/stats people would like to see.Some examples are: - heatmaps showing what times most posts are posted -...

This is the dumbest thing I have seen on the front page of HN in a long time.

If I really wanted to be anonymous on GitHub I'd create a "fake" account/would not use my name.

it won't be about learning C++ as there are already too many, but it will be more about optimization and performance, from low level code to design decisions.

Ideally the target won't be only experts, but also new programmers who want to learn how to write better code.

As you said publishing is not the problem these days (usually), but writing the book will take months of work and I will also need money to buy hardware and software licenses.

Furthermore a crowdfunding campaign can help measuring interest in the project and should also help building a community before the launch.

it looks like a great platform, even if it seems their userbase is not that big. Is that right?

C++, performance and optimization

no, first one, but I have been (tech) blogging for a while.

I am working on the ToC for now, sample chapter will be next.

Re:How to Create a Simple Hacker News Reader with Qt Network and JSON on Tuesday November 22, 2016 @10:33AM (#13014748)
a desktop client could offer more features and potentially a better navigation.

That's just my vision though, that's why I am asking if other people would be interested in something like that.
