abishekvenkat··on drrdrr – Free, no app, no db, CLI > Phone Notifications
Long-running scripts, reminders from your desk, monitoring sites, threshold alerts - basically 'leave the desk' alerts. Start something on your laptop and get notified on your phone when it’s done.

abishekvenkat··on Show HN: Aperture -Flip your phone case for a less distracting minimal interface
so - I annoy my cousins at times by flipping their phone cases just so they get confused when they pick their phone up.

Although I love the idea of a minimal UI, as someone with (a lot of) experience flipping phone cases, it just doesn't work. The cases are almost always built extremely intolerant of changes. When you flip them, the sides usually trigger either the volume or the power buttons because the spaces don't align. I've even had a Oneplus phone automatically go into recovery mode because of my shenanigans.

Upvoted regardless because I'd love a tolerant phone case for this application.

TLDR; interesting application of minimal displays - physically not convenient.

abishekvenkat··on Show HN: We built the simplest Online Unit Converter for everyday use
Looks nice and useful!

One minor feedback would be - you could move the "Browse related converters" section to the right panel which is empty now.

abishekvenkat··on Show HN: Compare iPhone costs around the world in your currency
Hi, thanks for checking it out and for the feedback. I added some of the most common currencies out there. I'll work on adding more. Re: Sales tax - I got the prices off apple[dot]com. I also saw the sales tax is not consistent across states in the US? I'll read into it again and at least add "excluding sales tax" tag for the US.
abishekvenkat··on Show HN: Slap – A Social Notifications App
if I had to nitpick, the "Slapped successfully" toast notification does not match the application's design scheme, imo.
