bert2002··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
The last couple weeks have been working on a parking spot app for Taipei and New Taipei. Finding a available spot, especially during weekends is very difficult. There are some apps, but only in Mandarin, so I did a English version.

If you are in the area, try it out https://taipeiparking.com/ - Android app and web app.

bert2002··on We're bringing Pebble back
Please do, best smartwatch ever. If we get a LTE version so we can leave the phone at home, that would be magical.
bert2002··on SSH Remoting
Any chance for a iPadOS release?
bert2002··on TinyPod – Apple Watch case with scroll wheel
Love it. Always wanted to have something like this for the Google Watch. Easy to stay update and receive alerts, but dont need to setup a second phone/device.
bert2002··on Meta takes $40K, holds our business ransom
Your product looks awesome!
bert2002··on Ask HN: Is there a GitHub observability tool/platform?
I am building something like that, but currently only targeting public/private repos and releases. Would be possible to pull more settings from the api, more difficult for private repos though. Hit me up at hello@ambersignals.com
bert2002··on Ask HN: Digital Nomad Guide for International Phone Numbers
I have a second Nokia phone that keeps sim cards from other countries that I dont need all the time (e.g. 2FA). Receiving txt is free and just need to top it up once per year to keep the number running.

bert2002··on Ask HN: Which Auth Service for SaaS?
I really like magic link + 2FA which gives a bit more security.
bert2002··on Ask HN: Which Auth Service for SaaS?
it seems quite pricey for a vendor lock in option or not?
bert2002··on Ask HN: Which Auth Service for SaaS?
I tend to agree, but which provider do you use?
bert2002··on Ask HN: Which Auth Service for SaaS?
The problem with simple auth is that it gets complicated with TOTP/2FA which I believe is necessary nowadays. I think you are right so see what is most popular with the language (python in my case) and stick to it, but there are lots of Identity providers our there and they have different pricing schemes. I will definitely check out ory.sh I have not heard of them before.
bert2002··on Vulnerability Management for Go

bert2002··on I Still Use RSS
