Vincenius··on Show HN: Chess-Inspired Roguelike
Very fun game! I really like the idea. Already shared it with my chess group :D
Vincenius··on Show HN: A small game where you have to guess the stars of GitHub repositories
Thanks! Haha good point - missed that one. I'll add the filter soon :)
Vincenius··on DIY Soft Drinks
Just tried your recipe myself and it really tasty! I also prefer a less sweet version. I'm looking forward to playing around with it and customizing it :D
Vincenius··on Ask HN: Share your personal website
My very simple portfolio: vincentwill.com :)
Vincenius··on NPM debug and chalk packages compromised
Yeah, I received the email on the 8th a little earlier at 2:50am (utc +2)
Vincenius··on NPM debug and chalk packages compromised
Wow, I also received the same phishing email even though my packages only have a few hundred downloads a week (eg. bsky-embed).

So I guess a lot more accounts/packages might be affected than the ones stated in the article

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform
I don't think that the guy who bought it was from the industry. In our talks, he really seemed interested in growing the project - but maybe I'm just naive.

If he really wanted to stop the project, he should've put the repository on private and put down the website, but he just left everything the same as it was.

Oh funny to see it here. I'm the original author of workout.lol.

I sold the app to a guy who seemed to just abandoned it. I also texted him multiple times if he needs support, but he didn't answer anymore. It makes me really happy to see it being maintained again!

Great work on the UI improvements.

Vincenius··on Show HN: Matle – A Daily Chess Puzzle Inspired by Wordle
A fun idea and great execution. Looking forward to tomorrow's puzzle
Vincenius··on Rebuilding memchess.com from its archive
I can add https://openingtrainer.com/ to the list. Also a great tool to practice openings
Vincenius··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
I was just looking for something like this today - I will give it a shot!
Vincenius··on CSS Selectors: A Visual Guide
A great overview! Thanks for creating this :)

Sure. To be honest, it's mostly because of laziness. I'm more used to plain JS than to TypeScript, so I'm faster this way.

I also always thought TS is a bit too much for small apps like this, but I get that it would make sense to use it if others want to contribute as well.

Thanks! Yeah, that's a point on my bucket list :)
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
It should show a preview video. Does it happen for all videos? Maybe it's a broken one on some exercise
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks! Sounds like a good idea.

Feel free to check out the repository and let me know if you have any questions :)

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks! So far, I didn't plan to add custom exercises. It would be possible to self-host it and add your own exercises to the database.

Maybe I'll add this feature in the future, but it's not the priority right now :)

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks! Yeah, that would be cool - I'd be interested in that as well.

I guess I'm still busy for a while with this project, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind :)

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks a lot!! Yeah, there is still a lot of room for extending this. I don't plan to monetize it at the moment but maybe in the future :)

So far it's just a fun side project which I enjoy working on

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks! I just found later that MuscleWiki also has videos of women (not sure if they have it of all exercises though). I want to add an option to choose the video format in the future :)
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks for the feedback! I'll think of ways to improve that
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks for the feedback! I will think of a better wording.

I was even in contact with the people from MuscleWiki (super cool people) and they said it's fine for me to use their data if I keep my product free and don't generate profit

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks a lot!!
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks! The beginner / intermediate / advanced selection is available on the screen where you select the muscles. Adding warm-ups and stretching rountines is on my list :)
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks! Improving the video sizes is on my list and will hopefully come soon :)
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks! Maybe this is something for you: https://stretch15.com/

This was actually the website that inspired me for workout.lol :D

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Updated the prompt :)
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Adding a timer is next on my bucket list :)
Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Good idea! Actually, I already have data for yoga in my database - I just didn't add it because I wasn't sure if it's possible to generate random yoga workouts or if they need to follow an order to make sense

I'll think of a way to add it :)

Vincenius··on Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine
Thanks for the report - I fixed it in the database :)
