Oh that seems really interesting. Smart detect is a nice addition, I'd say. I'll try it out.

I don't understand how the purpose of the question is not clear. I intend to know how does this featured app differs from Boop, that's all. And instead, I get a -1 from someone, haha.

I used a few ways to automate certain tasks in the previous versions of MacOS.

- Automator. The Automator allows you to create routines so you can do things like automating the change in theme after a specific time or something close to that. Essentially, it helps in creating routines and automating other tasks as well.

- Apple Script. You can write pure AppleScript to automate tasks.

You can definitely always use languages like Python for writing scripts that are generally meant for MacOS and automate tasks.

Well, Ik what I did and I did say that I learned the hard way. You have posted only 3 times up until "now" in a really short span of time. Doesn't take a mathematician to figure out when you're gonna post next at this rate.

Please try not to over-post. HN might flag your submissions.

Just wondering how is this better than StackExchange?

Third time you are posting this in a short span. Please refrain from this, I learned it the hard way

Ngl, I'm glad it's over. GSoC is another program but in that, students actually submit their project proposals which makes way more sense and is better than GCI in orders of magnitude.

I see. Where did you get that information from? Could you please list the source? That'd be neat.

yeah

While I agree with most of what you stated but imo, LaTeX helps with pretty much everything the community needs. Hell, it even has a Reference Management Software going for it to manage citations easily.

It's really easy to convert to other formats ( even HTML ) so it's not like you're missing anything. And most of all, the files are structured.

Now, I get it that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the kind of support and features LaTeX already has, I don't see why anyone would want to move on in the first place. The alternative offers slightly less and at no "significant" advantage. So what I think is, the community would prefer LaTeX in the foreseeable future.

So I basically built a search engine and an email client for fun last month as part of Python Discord's Summer of Code Jam.

well xD, Ik where the issue lies in the case of the background being transparent, some tags don't work on Safari from what I've noticed but I'm rolling the fix in the next release ( along with more features ). I'll add the comparison, sure. Will make the transition smaller but trust me, it's not useless. Spontaneous loading of the page is something that doesn't look well so the transition IS important but I think I might've made it too long. Either way, thanks for the review!

I read the comment on the other post I made and I guess instead of acknowledging something and wasting others time with it, I should rather work on it and that's what I've been doing. My bad, I didn't check the comments on this post for a week or so but now that I have, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to help me out with this.

>Maybe I'll try a "What is it?" separate page that allows the user to understand it better?

>People in general won't click around to find out what the site is for, or what it does, unless they already have a reason to think it might be interesting. Why should they do that?

> So what does your site actually do?

> Competitions to test the experienced;

> Tutorials to guide the newcomers;

> Forums to discuss the challenges;

> Music to program by

Yes, this is exactly what it's meant for. To help the beginners/intermediates get better at programming, conveniently practice on challenges ( and quizzes ) from the same platform, discuss challenges or any other query they might have in accordance with the Forum Guidelines, music to program by, a disposable code editor for those who are getting started with front-end (basically allows the user to watch the tutorial, code and even have the preview from a single tab instead of having a tab for the tutorial, a coding editor and a local host preview window open), take notes and plan tasks on the platform ( not claiming them to be essential features to the platform but something users can use conveniently, I will be engineering a way to sync them with Google Keep in the future so it makes more sense to use them ), create project/product listings that encapsulates all the essential information regarding the product and all the other listings as well in a shareable product link and more ( more in regards to features that I'm adding within a few weeks ). I created a pitch deck and that does have a Benefits slide that states :

- You don’t need to navigate to dozens of platforms anymore, DomeCode organizes all the tools and resources for you.

- You can finally focus more on programming instead of finding the “right” website for every small thing.

- You get to collaborate with developers around you.

- DomeCode provides its users with a significant productivity boost.

- Save around 30% of your overall time spent in the process of learning a programming concept, taking notes, and practicing it.

- You simply get more without any hassle.

This is an investor pitch deck so the 30% claim isn't entirely precise but I found out that it was around that number for me to complete the process of learning a new concept and practicing it.

I'll include the relevant information on the website now and remove the non-essential existing info.

Thanks a lot!

DomeCode is open to including 2 developers in its internal development team. If you're interested, apply for it!

Also, just posted this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24272065.

To all the readers who have already read about my platform on HN, I apologize for constantly posting the same thing. It might come off as rude and indecent and I can assure you that those are not my intentions.

I'm in highschool right now and over the past ~8 weeks, I made an open source coding platform called DomeCode. "DomeCode is an open source platform to help you advance your coding journey with pre-existing resources to learn programming concepts ( in Python as of now ), take notes, plan tasks, practice coding problems in 6 different languages including, Python, Go, Java, C++, C or Rust. You can also discuss interesting stuff on the forum, meet other developers and most all even get to listen to music conveniently without ever leaving this open source platform to navigate to paid platforms." This is what the description on my platform's landing page suggests and for the most part, that explains it well.

However, the issue is that it's kind of hard to acquire users, all the users I have gotten till now ( 237 in all ) are through Reddit and a few through HN and organic searches but I don't see a fast user growth. I launched the platform on 5th August ( the alpha version ) and I'm very much against the idea of advertising so I haven't tried that yet. On top of that, I want DomeCode to be a profitable startup. So far, I haven't received any donations/sponsorships. If you could help me with that, I'd be more than grateful to you. And if there's any contributor who likes open-source, I'd love for you to contribute at https://github.com/the-domecode/

I really don't want to cause any chaos or disturb you with spam on HN but I don't seem to have any other option it seems. You can contact me at founder@domecode.com with any proposal you might have or if you wanna mentor a highschooler like me who's into programming. And ofc, feedback is more than appreciated.

hey, I'm really sorry you feel that way but look closely, I've actually replied thoroughly to your comment with a few questions. And no, I didn't just comment now, I commented on it before you commented this. And I am really eager to getting user feedback. I even changed the description of the platform on the landing page after I read your whole comment. The previous description as I understand it might have been either misleading or not clarifying the question, a very basic question "What's DomeCode?". I genuinely want to receive some helpful feedback on how to better acquire users, how to plan out to monetize it and even how to get donors/ funding. I'm absolutely willing to take anyone who's along with me on this journey to grow the platform. Since then btw, the userbase has increased to 237 and the retention rate is doing well too. I have added several additions in terms of performance increase and ease of use to the platform.

Actually, it's meant for programmers of all skill levels. I'm not sure how to represent that without cluttering the front-page with text. Maybe I'll try a "What is it?" separate page that allows the user to understand it better? Also, wdym when you said that you had to move to another page? Are you on Safari? If not, I don't think there existed an issue with there being not much of text on the front page but yeah I might be misunderstanding you.

Compiled resources refers to pre-existing content that is compiled and provided to the user. As of now, it's just for Python but eventually, I'll be adding it for Java, Django, Node.js, Rust and other languages too. There will be content for more experienced developers getting into Systems Architecture. Coding problems are not in a particular language, they are of all difficulty levels but are primarily catering Java and Python developers. Notes and Tasks within the same platform would be more convenient. Tasks of any nature that you provide. I understand that you might not be using the Music feature but I have been told from reviews that it's supposedly a good feature but okay I get it. I also have added two new features in the meantime. Anyhow, your review is really appreciated and I'd love it if you could give me a bit more idea on how to improve the marketing of this product. p.s Learning platform - where you can learn programming concepts ( mostly the ones in competitive programming and tech interviews ) and practice them along with tools that you might use during your regular coding session. All of them ( only some yet since I'm still developing this solo and it's the alpha version ) at one place.

Really sorry about not noticing any replies whatsoever. Yeah I built this entirely myself over 7-8 weeks. I acquired most of my users from Reddit, Hackernoon and here.

DomeCode's Fusion is a real-time disposable editor using which you can start learning front-end technology including HTML, CSS, JS with any YouTube tutorial of your choice in a single tab instead of a code editor and two browser windows like a memory hog.

For those of you who don't know what DomeCode is,I made a previous post on this subreddit about it, https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/i9g0oo/made_a_platf... DomeCode is an open-source application that helps you learn and practice code with the appropriate tools and a curated list of resources through the philosophy of practice. It’s a single workspace where you can advance your coding journey with compiled resources to learn programming concepts, take notes, plan tasks, practice coding problems, discuss interesting stuff on the Forum, meet other developers and most all have the musical element with all of it without ever leaving the single workspace to navigate to dozen platforms. Open-sourced at: https://github.com/the-domecode Would love contributions and stars! You can sponsor the open-source project at https://domecode.com/sponsor What's the Creator Module?

A shareable listing of your product that encapsulates all the other listings of your product. Try it now at DomeCode-CreatorCreator Module is a feature tailored for developers who like building stuff.The Creator Module allows users to list their products with all the relevant info at a single place including :- Description- Documentation for General Use- Documentation for Developers- Demo links- Github/Gitlab/BitBucket repo- Linkedin Profile- Youtube Channel- Product Hunt listing So yeah all of this information in a shareable link :))Please report any bugs to report@domecode.com

I'm in highschool right now and over the past few weeks ( 8 to be precise ) I made a platform that allows people to learn and practice coding, discuss stuff on the forum, meet other developers, list their own products and even listen to music without ever having the need to leave the platform to navigate to other paid platforms for every small thing. DomeCode brings the unified experience to you. Well, today I made it open-source.

Isn't it apparent? They are actually facing less racism to extent out there.

Yeah I'm really sorry about the constant posting and yeah, I'll work on a few posts regarding my platform that are more informative.

I really do understand what you're saying but I really don't know how else to acquire users, I've tried writing a blog about it and that helped but like what's the proper user acquisition strategy, I'm really anti-advertising and I don't wanna spend a lot of money on advertising instead of making the product better. As for the reason why you can't register with mail, it's because I intentionally removed it in favor of OAuth which is way more secure than the standard way of authentication through email. When you authenticate through email, the password validation, any manipulation of authentication, the website protection from spammers, it all degrades but when you use OAuth, you're relying on the larger companies with much better security for all this stuff including less spam accounts so I decided it was the way to go. I'll remove that small dash between the user and the points. I'll make the button clickable too.
