Hey HN.I am, sadly, ill-equipped for sports and gamification gets me going, so when I discovered that my GF completed almost all related challenges since she got a Garmin smartwatch, I naturally wanted to browse all badges.And the UX was crap. Very little filters and no way to browse the past badges.So I figured-out how to get the data - a little over 1k badges in total so far - and then I...

Should toggle button show its current state or the state to which it'll change?

I went there once and found something useful. Kudos.

Cool one, especially for kids. It'd go well with naming the capital city, too.

That's pretty dope. I'd happily read more detailed case study of this. Don't mean to be pushy, just encouraging

I went there today accidentally. My personal favorite one:

I have an automation that is triggered by a door open/close sensor that I have attached to the flushing arm in my toilet with a custom made 3d printed mount for the sensor, which triggers a script on the server which connects to the chromecast speaker in the bathroom and plays the final fantasy 7 battle victory theme whenever someone flushes the toilet. It is perhaps my favorite part of my home.

For unrelated reasons it got me thinking of Mark Zuckerberg telling Joe Rogan how they left only the hand (and not the whole arm) in their VR, as it was enough.

Random thought.

Re:Why is the mouse cursor slightly tilted and not straight? on Sunday February 04, 2024 @02:18AM (#39248323)

I was looking at both of them for probably a little too long, and I can't see it.

ELI5: why do I need to upload the preview? Is it for some reason impossible for you to downsize the high-res pic? Is there a manual step required of me to take after?

What am I missing here, why not have just a single high-res pic upload?

Why is the mouse cursor slightly tilted and not straight?

Pretty much the title. I saw the Dracula theme trending today, so I thought I'd ask.I'm fairly new here, kinda like the default raw exteriors, but always on the lookout for things to improve my experience or simply make it cool.

I've seen multiple products that let teams collaborate/leave comments on any website. Examples that I found now:

- ruttl.com/website-annotation-tool

- xaviesteve.com/common

but I remember seeing others in the recent months on r/SaaS and r/SideProject.

There's a whole red bar when the website was down for 1 minute on a given day. I don't like it, and I wouldn't want to show that to my users.

I'd suggest you make the bar 1/3600 red, if the downtime was 1min - not exactly this, but you know what I mean.
