I’m building a small integration to take scheduled transactions in YNAB and display them in any normal calendar application. I’m hoping to add historical transactions one day as well to help with reconciling.

Any feedback is welcome!

I once saw an idea on here[1] about putting a lot more historical information into a calendar, including past activities. It resonated with me and I wondered if bank transactions could be part of this activity layer. At the time I was working on a real-time integration between my bank and YNAB so I was already thinking about the space.

Thanks!

I chose it because I wanted to learn more about passkeys and I liked the idea that I wouldn’t have to deal with private credentials themselves; just save a public key to my database. I use both KeePassXC and Bitwarden and they’re slowly getting support for passkeys (currently only on desktop).

I briefly had the ability to add a new passkey to the same account but wanted to keep it simple for my friends and not confuse them more. If that’s something that could help I’d be open to adding it in again.

I like this idea. Would you imagine the functionality being much different to what is already there? Or is it more a difference of framing?

A place to connect the books you want to read with friends who already own them, and vice-versa. Imagine a distributed library composed of your friends’ books.

Encouraging sharing with friends and starting conversations about topics you might never have considered having not known they were into the same books as you.

Very rough draft but it has the core functionality, even if it’s a bit cumbersome.

I’ve been wondering this too. My biggest hesitation is that I don’t want to compromise the security of my local network; especially because it’s not just me using it.

Do you know of any resources that cover how to do the security necessary for hosting at home?

This video[1] gives a good perspective on where carbon capture solution fits from an economic standpoint. The summary is that it’s highly infeasible now but if we got to a point where putting a price of $250/ton CO2 was possible then it could make sense.

Right now there’s a lot of other things we can do to make the biggest impact for a lot less cost but we need to be in the research phase for these kinds of things so that once they’re necessary/useful we’ll have the tech to do it.

Here’s the blog version https://willemhandreck.com/f1-live-updates

Earlier this year I went to the Australian F1 GP. Between qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday I built an integration between a live timing API and Telegram to send me position updates every minute with lap times.

This was because anywhere near a screen was packed with crowds and my mobile network couldn’t keep up using the official app.

I was job searching and wrote it up and posted to LinkedIn. My now manager saw it and was trying to hire for a role building integrations. My project was enough for him to reach out and set up a chat. Without the project we wouldn’t have connected.

This rings true for me anecdotally. The last time I was looking for a job I struggled to land even a phone screening. But then I posted about a small project on my blog and LinkedIn and I had a hiring manager call me the next day with a gig that worked well for both of us.

Looks like they're working on it https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/archives/73591

Tried to update DNS settings for my domain just now. I can't get past the login stage because it redirects in a loop as soon as I submit my details.

At least one other person on Twitter is seeing the same problem. They've included a gif in their tweet. https://twitter.com/omar_anwari_/status/1597776412559409153

I work for an organisation that did this; except we owned most of videos. There were a few external pieces that we had written permission to use and ended up being some of our most popular. Asking for permission from the content owners would never hurt.

I really like this basic list of all your projects and links to them. You've got quite the repertoire. It's inspired me to do something similar, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, not much difference to the end user but I think the council are trying to attract businesses. That could be the good mix up the economy needs. The future will tell whether it works or not.

Torquay/Ocean Grove may be more your style. The weather isn't as consistent as QLD but beats Warrnambool by being a couple of degrees warmer. It's near Geelong but you still get the ocean. And it's only about 1.5hrs to Melbourne if you avoid peak hour.

I get your point about Queensland. Maroochydore might be slowly modernising. They're building a new city centre from scratch on what used to be the golf course. They've recently connected to the Japan-Guam-Australia South submarine fibre cable and the council are marketing that pretty hard. Saying that, it's still largely seen as a place to retire; evidenced by one of the largest contributors to the local economy being healthcare (which includes nursing homes).

I agree with you and I've seen it happening already at the Christmas markets in Hamburg, Germany. I bought a hot drink that came in a ceramic mug (which required a deposit) that I then returned after walking around the rest of the market. I'm sure some people kept them as souvenirs but it seemed like the vast majority were returned.

Apparently I listened to non-mainstream artists 51% more than the average Spotify listener.

Really enjoy the animations, hats off to the team.
