caviv··on Ask HN: What weird or hard problems are you trying to solve?
I will be honest. I really don't get it. How come I am working harder, and more hours, and studying more but I don't earn more ? - It should have been a direct correlation. Shouldn't technology and automation and all of this good stuff make us work less but earn more ?
caviv··on Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown?
I improved a small game I have created a few years ago https://www.freememorygame.com . added a few features and it became very popular during quarantine time for kids and pre-school to play online with their tutors and teachers. It is a memory and matching card game you can build and create using your own uploaded photos.
caviv··on Ask HN: Side projects that are making money, but you'd not talk about them?
Why is it a native app and not PWA / Website ? I couldn't install it.
caviv··on Ask HN: Side projects that are making money, but you'd not talk about them?
This is very cool. I have made also some material for teachers teaching from home https://www.freememorygame.com to build card matching game from your own photos and images. Teachers use it to create games for kids in class.
caviv··on Ask HN: Side projects that are making money, but you'd not talk about them?
Hi, When saying a project "you'd not talk about" and then talking about it - it's kind of taking the point out of it :-) But I guess I understand what you mean. I have created https://yabs.io just for me and let other people use it for free for now. It is a copy of del.icio.us for saving bookmarks with tags and then searching them easily. I have also created https://www.gematrix.org for calculating Gematria values of words and phrases.
caviv··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I have created a RSS scraper for 9gag that also colors posts you have already seen: https://9gagrss.xyz/
caviv··on Ask HN: What are your favorite developer-efficiency tips?
I have read somewhere: Code comments are like love letters to your future self :-)
caviv··on Ask HN: What are your favorite developer-efficiency tips?
Here is a real nice trick I have learn. How to give Error Code uniqueness numbers to Errors. That helps to find it later (find all) inside the code repository, know who code it and when.

I use this method: https://breakpo.blogspot.com/2020/05/simple-system-to-track-...

YYYYMMDD.XXXHHII

This give a full uniqueness for the Error Code number among the team. XXX is a unique number each one of the developers in the team have.

So an error code could be: 20190412.1001643 For programmer number 100, on the 12th of April 2019 at 4:43PM

This allows me to know how old is the code, and who to blame in no time :-)

caviv··on Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on?
We are working in my company on trying to combine and solve route-optimization problem with scheduling and transportation problem for the Electric Vehicle drivers https://www.makemydayapp.com Think of an EV driver. Where and when should we charge the car ? why not to charge the vehicle according to your schedule and go to your meeting while your car is charging ? and of course. Pre booking your charging station.
caviv··on Ask HN: Do you curate links/bookmarks?
Yes, of course I do. I collect bookmarks in many places. Easy to access every day use bookmarks are in my Firefox bookmarks. Others are in my chrome browser which I use for different browsing and the one I want to keep forever I use https://yabs.io which allows me to search and tag bookmarks.
caviv··on Ask HN: Do you curate links/bookmarks?
Try https://yabs.io
caviv··on Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?
Try out https://yabs.io (it is like delicious) I created it :-)
caviv··on Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?
Hi, I wrote a tool that I use my self and it works more or less like good old del.icio.us it is called https://yabs.io and I would love if you would be kind enough to try and and give some feedback. Main idea is tagging - that's help me to find things later when I need this bookmark.
caviv··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
Funny, I have almost the same https://yabs.io which replaces good old delicious.
caviv··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
I ran many different websites. I just enjoy development and new ideas. My best profitable website is a Gematria Calculator https://www.germatrix.org which I also have in Hebrew https://www.gimatria.co.il/. But the main idea is combining many many different ideas and website, like https://www.understandmydreams.com (also in Hebrew https://he.understandmydreams.com) and more... you can see here https://www.c2kb.com
caviv··on Ask HN: Show Us Your Personal Website/Blog?
https://www.cnaanaviv.com and http://breapo.com - unfortunately I don't have much time to update.
caviv··on Ask HN: How to find profitable side project idea?
Although I do think there are problems with no solution yet, I agree they are hard to find. I do think though that there are many problems with incomplete solutions. So even if it looks like there are others solving the problem don't be afraid to create your own solution which might be better.

We have started Make My Day https://www.makemydayapp.com as an app for scheduling tasks and drives and found ourselves in the Electric Vehicle market giving a different approach to a solution that was already excited - we believe we give a much holistic solution.

caviv··on Ask HN: What discontinued company/product do you wish was still around?
I really really loved del.icio.us RIP. Today I am using the alternative https://yabs.io - but I don't understand why something so good was closed and now needed to be developed again.
caviv··on Ask HN: Those making $500+/month on side projects in 2018 – Show and tell
I have created https://www.gematrix.org - it is an English and Hebrew Gematria calculator to calculate Gimatria values for words and phrases. It's making more the $500 a month with Google Ads and a some more for selling the Database directly.
