coldtrait··on New YC homepage
Why can't the hackernews home page look like that?
coldtrait··on A macOS app that blurs your screen when you slouch
These days I'm just doomscrolling while doing that
coldtrait··on The recurring dream of replacing developers
>Yet demand for software far exceeds our ability to create it. Every organization needs more software than it can build. The backlog of desired features and new initiatives grows faster than development teams can address it. -- -- Then why is hiring at a standstill and companies laying off developers left and right?
coldtrait··on Ask HN: Any example of successful vibe-coded product?
I built a macOs app using swift only for my own use, to solve a problem only I might have --> https://github.com/vinayverghese/criss-cross.
coldtrait··on Show HN: 16 year old building a SaaS
Why is your age relevant here?

Something like this?

coldtrait··on My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file (2020)
A cool implementation of this is - https://heynote.com/

Pretty sure I found it here.

coldtrait··on Ask HN: What open source projects are you grateful for?
Discourse
coldtrait··on We're learning more about what Vitamin D does
I remember this article about Vitamin D says nobody is certain whether it actually does anything:

coldtrait··on Show HN: A free Instagram story viewer that lets you watch anonymously
AeroInsta still works. MyInsta is another, works well for blocking Reels and Explore sections. AeroInsta doesn't have that feature as far as I know, but has cool features like menu options to copy caption text and comment text.

I'd like to try this out. Would be nice to have a few examples of pdfs and htmls generated in the repo itself.
coldtrait··on Show HN: A free Instagram story viewer that lets you watch anonymously
I've been using modded versions of Instagram on my Android device for a few years now. Never had an issue, but I do get there is a risk.
coldtrait··on Show HN: DroidDock – A sleek macOS app for browsing Android device files via ADB
For those who want a simpler way to do this wirelessly, PlainApp has been great for me:

That would require building this in Swift.
coldtrait··on MacBook Lid Angle Sensor
There's nothing wrong with that.
coldtrait··on Warp sends a terminal session to LLM without user consent
Yea, I feel the same. I'm basically a noob compared to most power users here, and while I do prioritize privacy in many other areas, warp has been super powerful for me. One of the things that I use it for it to find out old unused files on my system and ask it to examine them and suggest if they can be deleted. It's very convenient.
coldtrait··on My inbox is a mess from signing up for everything. How do you handle it?
I have the opposite problem. My inbox is overoptimized and clean, and I get no emails. Anyway, the usual suggestions have been mentioned already - like going through older emails and cleaning. This extension also works:

https://www.inboxpurge.com/

You get a few free attemps to clean emails. You can even just use it to search for subscriptions and delete manually.

coldtrait··on Show HN: Engineering.fyi – Search across tech engineering blogs in one place
What is a more standard UI that doesn't scream vibe coded?
coldtrait··on Stanford to continue legacy admissions and withdraw from Cal Grants
IIT?
coldtrait··on I built an app to backup Live Photos from iPhone to external hard drives
Isn't that to transfer wirelessly to devices?
coldtrait··on Show HN: Get nutrition labels for any recipe (YouTube, Website, Text, Image)
This one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyVHjF4eXHE

I will try with something else.

coldtrait··on WhatsApp introduces ads in its app
I only use viber because it is the only alternative for using TrueCaller in my country (India) that I know of.
coldtrait··on Show HN: Get nutrition labels for any recipe (YouTube, Website, Text, Image)
Just tried it but it fetched ingredients in what appears to be french for some reason?
coldtrait··on Ask HN: What's the most overengineered tool everyone uses but won't admit sucks?
The entire javascript ecosystems since the advent of node.
coldtrait··on Ask HN: Magic links are bad UX and make people's lives worse. Change my mind
Can you explain what stack you use to build it? Do all of them support it easily?
coldtrait··on Show HN: A Chrome extension to give you back control over short-form videos
Turns out this doesn't work on facebook or instagram reels. I only watch the latter on my phone but whenever I do open reels on web in the infinite scroll mode it does not work. it works on direct links to a particular reel though.
coldtrait··on Show HN: I built a word game. My mom thinks it's great. What do you think?
Thanks , just found a new fun word game!
coldtrait··on Show HN: I built a word game. My mom thinks it's great. What do you think?
I like it because it scratches my jumble itch.
coldtrait··on Show HN: A Chrome extension to give you back control over short-form videos
That's great. The one site I definitely need it on is instagram whenever I happen to open a reel on web. And I'd like it on reddit because its video player sucks, but it just adds it on top of it so I have now ended up disabling it everywhere else.

This is great. I just asked ChatGPT to convert it into a script that I could use with Violentmonkey.
