cheeriotyon Apple VisionOS Simulator streaming wirelessly to Meta Quest headset

224 points and not single positive comment in the comments, sigh.

I think this is awesome, as the Quest Pro is almost on par with the features of the Vision Pro (except Lidar), e.g. hand & eye tracking + color passthrough. Sure, these might be not of the same quality (especially when it comes to passthrough), but this allows people to verify their experiences/concepts for the Vision Pro before they actually get their hands on one.

I don't think that Meta, nor Apple will have a problem with this tbh. Maybe because of the assets/icons used in the HUD, but those can easily be replaced if needed.

And color passthrough, albeit not a great one. Still good enough to build and test experiences already!

I was able to work around setting the initial zoom issue for now: https://github.com/teovillanueva/react-native-web-maps/issue...

I should likely just dig a bit deeper into the source of the library, but this does it for me for now.

Created a PR to prevent react-native-web-maps from unnecessarily requesting location permissions: https://github.com/teovillanueva/react-native-web-maps/issue...

I don't think anyone is following along here (anymore), so I might just move this to the Twitter thread.

Instant premiere for updated game footage going live now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYyhYnRXTaw

Took a break and then recorded some updated footage of the Neo Geo game I'm working on as my "main side-project". Sharing as soon as YouTube is done processing.

Jumping on trying to fix that initial Zoom for Google Maps on ReactNative Web.

Taking a 15 min break. But already added more tasks to the list for the day:

- Prepare email with proposal for new enterprisy customer

- Write article for HackerNoon, Indiehackers, etc. about creating Quests (forms, checklists, workflows) using GPT-4

- Record new gameplay footage (side project) and share on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram

Uff, that financial reports took longer than expected. Luckily I have my checklist (well, Quest) with all the links to the different places. This makes it easier to go through this every 4-12 weeks. https://imgur.com/a/WZpOAtK

Halfway through the financial report. Would feel a bit unnecessary to switch now as I'm in the flow, so will follow through with that task for another 15 min max instead of just sticking to the system for the heck of it.

Ok, first task was not a success yet. Apparently the current config plugin for React Native Maps does not work with the latest versions of Expo. Unless I'm doing something entirely wrong. Let's step away and collect those numbers for the financial reports for our next task.

- Try to unblock usage of Google Maps in my ReactNative Android, iOS and Web App. Context: "https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/23347#issuecomment-16264...

- Provide financial report to investors (this will likely take at least two blocks)

- Fix initial Zoom setting for Google Maps in my app for web. Context: https://github.com/teovillanueva/react-native-web-maps/issue...

- Check on analytics + user enqueries and write (back) to at least 3 of our most active users in the last couple of days

Timeblock exhausted. Posting this and jumping on first task from above.

I smiled all the way through reading this. Thanks to the author and of course antirez for his amazing work.

cheeriotyon Ask HN: How do you generate ideas?

I consume, do and try a lot of things. To actually unlock things then I usually need to go for a run, which is the only time in my life where I’m awake not being distracted every 5 min by something, someone or myself. That seems to be the only time I can think clearly, zoom out enough and start connecting the dots.

That’s for the more thought-through, or, defined ideas. Random ones happen way more frequently, but usually are more high-level and about the what, missing the how part.

cheeriotyon Ask HN: What projects are You creating with AI?

I just started my first AI experiment yesterday, you can find it at https://doogle.app .. Right now it forwards you to other AIs or services based on your request, but early next week it will go a bit deeper and will automatically create Quests (think forms, workflows and checklists) for the enquiries where it makes sense. You’ll be able to either then go through these Quests yourself, assign it somebody you know or publish the Quest for somebody else to get it done for you. You can also attach a cash reward that the person finishing Quest can then either payout in cash, a gift card or donate!

Oh man, that truly sounds awful!

cheeriotyon Is my product value proposition clear enough?

Thank you, that’s great advice. The whole flow can be easily customized by non-experts via our Quest editor, which includes automations. There’s also a low-code integration path which allows to have dropdowns powered by data coming from elsewhere, send submission data to Google Sheets, Airtable or any other API really.

I’ve added some notes to the step that this is a demo and that you can be creative with your name and email.

I’ll further change the title to make sure it’s clear for signing in somewhere physically.

Thanks again!

cheeriotyon Is my product value proposition clear enough?

Yes and no. I’m selling the product that is used to build these kind of workflow experiences, as well as list based ones. But selling a horizontal product is hard, therefore we’re marketing some specific use-cases first. Visitor management is along the top use-cases our paying customers use Questmate for.

cheeriotyon Buzzy AI – From idea to fully deployed app and backend, at the speed of ChatGPT

Maybe check their existing Figma plugin (without AI) that already has 5K+ installs, and you should be able to see it yourself, and you'll see that this is much more than just a template generator. I'm also not a professional investor/VC but rather a founder myself, and sometimes do personal investments in startups from friends and share my excitement.

Thanks for pointing this one out! We just fixed this :)

I'm glad at least this one gave you some clarity. We surely learned our lesson regarding our messaging here today.

Congrats mate, that's awesome! Did you create a separate AWS account for that to separate from the rest of your stack? How did you achieve isolation for each script? V8 isolates or dedicated Lambda per script? Any other challanges you ran into? We're really keen to learn from others doing similar things.

I'm glad you asked. Maybe this is the page we should have shared in the first place: https://www.scriptable.run/why

You are unfortunately not alone and we’re about to fix this. Not sure what you mean with “ProductHunt Product”. Can you elaborate? We haven’t done our ProductHunt Lunch yet. Will certainly defer now a bit until we fixed or messaging/positioning.

cheeriotyon Show HN: Scriptable.run, make your product extendable by anyone.

Sorry to hear this. I truly can relate. Hipchat/Stride was one of the very first products at Atlassian that adopted our cross-product service and components for attachment and link handling, even before Confluence, Jira and Bitbucket if I recall correctly.

Very fair point! We just updated this to make the association of Questmate and Scriptable much more clear.

cheeriotyon Show HN: Scriptable.run, make your product extendable by anyone.

Sincere apologies for that. We’ll make sure to fix this up asap and include a diagram as you suggested as well. Happy to give you a ping as soon as we did!

Cheers mate! And thanks a lot for suggestion, this is how we’ll so it!
