bk8335··on Show HN: ChatGPT for calorie tracking. Frictionless diet and exercise tracking
Just had a play and think its really good! Like that you can start without having to login. I would like to see the constituent elements of the meal laid out and be able to edit each of them rather than just a total for the whole meal. And will it remember meals, or can I have the ability to name and save them, that would make it easier?

Personally I would prefer the feedback bit to be for the day rather than each meal as I think that will get boring/repetitive ("you had a nice balanced meal" etc.). I know a salad is good and chocolate is bad, I don't need an AI to tell me that

bk8335··on Show HN: Track and share all of your investments in one place
I want people to be more open about their investments, as it's something that we're all left to do on our own or pay far too much for financial advisors to tell us things a friend probably already knows.

I first made this because I had investments across equities, crypto, and equity crowdfunding campaigns, and it was a pain to log into each different platform to see how they were doing. Excel is bad at tracking the values over time, so as a software developer and a chartered financial analyst, I decided to make it myself.

By sharing what you are buying or selling publicly (but you don't have to share the amounts), it also allows you to peek over the fence and look at the portfolios of other people - a curiosity many of us have but are too polite to ask in real life.

I've just implemented automatic dividend tracking of US stocks, and in the future want to integrate with investment platforms to automatically add all transactions.

Once you're signed up, we can add your existing investments to the platform to make it as easy as possible to get set up.

Any and all feedback is welcome!

bk8335··on Show HN: I made a list of 50 bootcamps and the stack they teach
I'm a Code Clan alumni so nice to see they're featured. Sorry if this is a stupid question but where is the actual index part of it, i.e. are you trying to rank them to find the "best" one, or is that just too subjective to do?
bk8335··on U.S. regulators approve the Long-Term Stock Exchange
I couldn't see it in the reuters article so apologies if this is no longer relevant. Is the plan still to give different number of votes depending on how long the shares have been held? If so, wouldn't selling your shares you've held for a long time destroy value i.e. by resetting the votes to zero? Also, if different shares have different values, would they each have different prices, or would the listed price be some weighted average?
bk8335··on Tumblr will ban all adult content on December 17th
Except people who watch porn also buy Cheerios and Volvo's - I've never understood why such a massive market is always immediately ruled out in such an ad hungry world.
bk8335··on Ask HN: What discontinued company/product do you wish was still around?
Screenhero used to be great for remote pair programming, but as its gone to premium slack only I haven't been able to use it since. I'm surprised there haven't been any copycats made since it was acquired
bk8335··on Technical and non-technical tips for rocking your coding interview
I have an idea to run mock interviews online with real HR people moonlighting, so that you can receive their honest feedback, and as a result, be better for the real thing.
