aith··on Show HN: Mini-Woo, luanch Telegram mini app for WooCommerce in seconds
This is really cool! I didn't know telegram was capable of these kinds of apps. How/why would customers find your store on telegram vs regular web?
aith··on FalsiScan: Make it look like a PDF has been hand signed and scanned
I built the same thing for the same reasons as a client side web app http://patmood.github.io/scanned_look/
aith··on iPad mini
All the same use cases as a regular iPad. I just want it so it's easier to hold.
aith··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Yes E3 is one of the easiest, along with Canada/Mexico. Should not be an issue for any company in the Bay Area.
aith··on Ask HN: I'm a terrible developer, what now?
I feel like I could have written your post, even today when I am in a fairly senior position and paid an uncomfortable amount of money. My advice for when this feeling gets overwhelming is to just put your head down and get a bit better than you used to be.

I don't mean study really hard, just learn any small new thing and over time you'll improve.

There's no rush and it's ok to be average. The fact that you say the "alternatives seem dreadful" means you are probably in the right career!

aith··on Image Scrubber: tool for anonymizing photographs taken at protests
It's a simple static site with no server involved. Everything happens client side. You could turn off your internet while you're using it if you wanted to make sure no data is exposed.
aith··on Show HN: Practice interview problems for front end developers
Great blog post. I will incorporate some of those ideas (like testing) into the challenges.

I agree that the interviewer side is a mess and one of the long term ideas for this is to create interview packages for companies to help assess and calibrate FE candidates.

To avoid any conflicts I'm trying to keep my employer out of it, but it would definitely help with reputation.

aith··on Show HN: Practice interview problems for front end developers
Hey thanks! I actually stayed away from those kinds of problems because they're well covered by other sites, but I'm interested in what you mean by presenting then in my way?

Do you mean algos in a practical front end context?

Thanks again for checking it out!

aith··on Netflix: Removing client-side React.js improved performance by 50%
In the talk you say that you reduced JS and therefore lowered TTI and saw more clicks on the signup button. Is it possible that you are just _tracking_ more clicks, but the total is the same?

Does it really matter how much JS there is if it's loaded after HTML and the user can already move to the sign up step without it?

aith··on Ask HN: What changes in your life did you make to become more productive?
Got some examples of these micro phones? Sounds interesting!

Edit: This is from a Kickstarter - Super cheap and fits the bill https://www.amazon.com/Unihertz-Smallest-Smartphone-Android-...

aith··on Technical and non-technical tips for rocking your coding interview
This has a bit of a web front end slant. Check out https://www.acefrontend.com for another good source of practical front end challenges
aith··on Ask HN: Do you keep a personal journal?
Surprised https://standardnotes.org/ hasn't been mentioned. It popped up on HN a week or so ago and I've been using it ever since. Very simple, elegant solution with a focus on longevity. It's exactly what I was looking for.
aith··on Ask HN: What problem in your industry is a potential startup?
Have you got an example/names of existing software? I'm interested to see what kind of features they have.
aith··on Create React Apps with No Configuration
Are you still using JSX? Even a very minimal babel/webpack setup like this one has really sped up my productivity, but I'm interested in the alternatives...
aith··on Death of a Programmer, Life of a Farmer
I'm the same, but I recently discovered that a dump of all Stack Overflow content is available for download. There's a few apps around to easily use it offline. Combine that with the "Dash" app for mac (which downloads other official docs) and it should be pretty easy to work off the grid.

aith··on Show HN: Wobble Wockets – Mobile Friendly HTML5 Game Built with Phaser.io
Open it up in safari, then add it to your homescreen - It'll play fullscreen and behave just like a native app :)
aith··on Show HN: Wobble Wockets – Mobile Friendly HTML5 Game Built with Phaser.io
Powerup shortcuts are 1, 2 and 3 on keyboard - I'll add some instructions. I drew every pixel and I'm not much of an artist, so definitely room for improvement there!
aith··on Show HN: Wobble Wockets – Mobile Friendly HTML5 Game Built with Phaser.io
You just made my week. The simplicity and purity of flappy bird was a huge inspiration for this project. At least half the time was spend getting the "wobble" mechanic just right.
aith··on Show HN: Wobble Wockets – Mobile Friendly HTML5 Game Built with Phaser.io
This is my first phaser game and I followed a step by step flappy bird tutorial to learn the basics. It's basically all the same components - scrolling background, generated obstacles, and a simple motion character. I'd love to write a tutorial for this one though.
aith··on Ask HN: How much traffic to expect if your project hits HN front page?
This time last year my project VimSnake.com was in the top 3 for most of the day. I made the stats public:

aith··on Show HN: Automatically convert a website to Android and iOS
I'm new to native apps and I've been struggling to find a solution to get my HTML5 game on the app store. This is absolutely incredible. Took 30 seconds and worked flawlessly! THANKYOU!

Which OS/browser are you using?
aith··on Show HN: I tried to build the ultimate Reddit gif viewer with Backbone.js
Try navigating with the keyboard arrows or simply clicking the image. You can enter any subreddit like this:

One of the next features is to use gfycat as default - Not sure if it works with the browser extension at the moment

Strange that it's not consistent, ill fix it... http://hugegif.com/#r/gifs/1yya9h
aith··on Show HN: I tried to build the ultimate Reddit gif viewer with Backbone.js
I seem get this effect while the image is loading. Are you using chrome or native browser?
