Nice! would be cool to sync the scrolling. love that i didn't have to sign in and could immediately start using it. I will definitely be using this with friends.

Wow, this app is great. It unlocked the audio setting on my external LG display (which im running my speakers through), and lets me control with the keyboard keys! Thanks for making this.

This is awesome. Like a citizen app for making change. Would love an app with proxmity notifications / show upcoming events along my interests. & more volunteer opportunities mapped.

this is awesome

I now do Unlocked phone that supports eSim + Airalo app for intl data packs + Mint Mobile for the US, this works extremely well and is very cost effective.

With Wifi calling + texting, you can even use your US number internationally since it will work off the eSim data.

how is this different from https://indiehackers.com?

I switched to https://couchers.org/, they are just starting out but already have many members who switched from CS after they started asking for a monthly subscription.

I get the technical reasoning, but as a policy it makes no sense because the pirates are getting 4K anyway, and a paying customer is getting a degraded experience.

Why is it possible to pirate 4k content from these sites but not simply view 4k officially on my mac? (disney+ in particular)

this is pretty awesome -- may use it for some hobby projects. how does it work?

I made an app to learn bodyweight fitness! - https://fitloop.app

Got into learning bodyweight fitness from reddit and lacking access to a proper gym back in the day. Started initially as a simple webpage, I've now built a mobile app that earns about $1000/mo, its a way for beginners to get into bodyweight workouts and learn exercises with youtube videos.

This is awesome! We (mostly my dad) and I made a very similar website as well: https://flickseeker.com/

I use revenuecat, makes it a lot easier

Offtopic, but wow this project is amazing. I just made Snape say "I love sprinkles on my donuts" and it made my day.

Cool idea, does it work completely offline? The description seems to say it needs an internet connection to add the map.

Exact same for me.

I started using Clubhouse (https://clubhouse.io) for my personal projects and like it a lot for a light-weight alternative to Jira, yet more powerful than Trello. Not sure how it scales for big teams though.

I like this because it makes the interview process competitive.

Hmm. I’d like the option. I use BetterSnapTool on Mac and very often tear off chrome tabs and immediately try to snap them to a side. This doesn’t work on Firefox.

I 100% read "Dairy Email" until the page loaded. I thought you figured out how to email me milk.

my $0.02: I would make the section "A Flexible Workspace for Everyone" the 1st main section, didn't really get what the product was until the 2nd and 3rd sections (the first one now just has generic blocks)

Tried out the demo:

- couldn't write in text blocks (chrome 79/mac)

- drawing went above cursor

- fullscreen / new page would be better

Another front-end dev here. I tried to switch back from Chrome to Firefox, and while I was mostly impressed (especially devtools), I had a few gripes:

- Dragging tabs didn't immediately drag out a window like in Chrome

- A crashing tabs still seemed to crash/severely slow down the browser

- Sluggishness in window opening / first open.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE / NYC

React, React Native, Node, Mongo.

Portfolio: https://shridhargupta.com/

This is a real hurdle to starting projects. Spend a day researching stacks. Keep it simple. Go with tech that you know.

My current stack is:

  * Creat-React-App
  * Node/Express Server

This keeps things super simple and basic, and I can extend it with Mongo / GraphQL / etc etc.

If you know python and want to use Vue, you could do:

  * Simple Vue frontend
  * Flask API

Worry about things like SSR, routing, etc, afterwards when you have something basic running. It's MUCH easier to iterate, than it is to start something. So make the starting part easy.

Don't they? Or are you saying this site is a good example of doing that?

SEEKING WORK | NYC, New York | Remote

I've worked with a number of companies, from small startup to large scale websites. Mix of in-person / remote. Eager to find companies working on interesting & useful tools for people.

» Tech: Javascript (React, Redux, React Native, Meteor, Node), GraphQL / Apollo, MongoDB

» Enjoying newer features: Async/Await, functional components, React Hooks, Styled Components, etc.

Thanks, that makes sense. You're right, it will be simpler to just register in NYC.

Hi HN,

I've been working on this bodyweight fitness platform for the past few years, and I recently took time away from a job for a few months to travel + work on a mobile app. Here's the initial (++ fixed some bugs) version. It's free to use, however the logging functionality / community is a paid feature.

Bodyweight Fitness workouts don't use weights, so you can do them with minimal equipment. The reddit community /r/bodyweightfitness has created a routine for beginner-intermediate, called the "Recommended Routine". This routine is built on progressions, which means that you swap out the exercise to increase the load, instead of adding more weight.

For example:

  1. Incline Pushups (Easy)
  2. Pushup (Harder)
  3. Diamond Pushup (Harder yet)
  ... and so on.

This is the meat and bones of this app, that it supports progression in a way that other apps don't.

---

Tech: Backend was built in Meteor years ago, now I've migrated most parts of it to more modern technologies. In particular, the API is mostly a GraphQL/Apollo layer, which has made development much easier because of the connected data.

The app itself is built with React Native. I evaluated Flutter briefly, but decided against it due to my existing knowledge of JS/React, and the amount of documentation and community around RN.

Hope you enjoy, and I welcome any feedback!

Thanks @danbenoni for putting this together, I appreciate the insights!
