If you're building with KiCad then I've found the folks on the KiCad discord[1] very willing to take a look over a design and provide feedback. There's also a subreddit[2] for PCB design posting and review, but I haven't personally used it.

The 737-800 uses CFM56-7 turbofan engines.

Have you taken a look at https://hop.io/ ?

Seems to be an attempt to recreate the best parts of Heroku with some extras.

Maybe! I haven't been into town for Hogmanay for about that long :)

Another good spot used to be the Vennel steps beside Heriot's, but it has become a popular Instagram/TikTok spot recently so might be busy.

If anyone from HN is visiting Edinburgh for Hogmanay, a great view of the fireworks can be had from the top of Calton Hill in the centre of the city. The best way to get up is the set of steps next to Howies on Regent Road.

And under 90kb to fully load!

Having a programmable sketch never occurred to me - it's a really fresh take.

As someone who loves working on paper to design the structure of a system, the conversion to boilerplate structure has always been a laborious structure. Any way to move from a drawn UML type diagram to a basic class structure would be an improvement.

Eric, Caleb, Nick, and Garrett - this is awesome, definitely has a use case to explore the limits of an API in a quick and easy way.

Hi HN, we're overwhelmed by the response to this event - it seems like something that has really struck a chord with the London tech community.

We are still looking to confirm a venue for next week, thanks to everyone that has reached out with an offer for this so far. If you are able offer space for this, or a future event - it would be great to hear from you, my email is firstname at oneslipstream.com

It's great to hear that it was a highlight of your time in the city. Hopefully we can kindle some of that hacker spirit and you can make your way along to some future event!

It would be great to see you there if you can make it for a future event :)

Thanks for the offer, I’ll keep it in mind for a future event. I’d you could get in contact at firstname at oneslipstream.com or send me a Twitter message at ConnorL__ I’d love to chat about this with you.

Look forward to seeing you there! Come and chat to me when you have a minute free.

I’ll set a regular schedule so that you can attend the next one!

Would be great to chat about this for future events, feel free to shoot me a message at ConnorL__ on Twitter or send me an email at firstname at oneslipstream.com

Glad you enjoyed, hope to see you at a future event :)

Sorry! I’m going to make this recurring so hopefully you can come to a future event.

I will do my best, can’t make any promises at this stage. I do appreciate the vital important of pizza from my hackathon days though :p

Thanks Jonas, I’ll email you later today. On the move right now.

If you check back on the event at the start of next week, I’ll have a confirmed location. I’m hoping to keep it reasonably central.

Hope that you can make it, and if not I look forward to meeting you at one in the future.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks for this, I’ve reached out to both Dmitri and Stevie to chat about the community. They definitely paved the way for this, so their knowledge would be invaluable.

Hope to see you there :)

Of course, hope to see you at one in the next few months.

It's a real pity that events haven't started up again completely post-lockdown. One of the reasons that I started out in tech was the active and welcoming European Hackathon community, so events have been a big part of my experience.

Hope to catch you at an event in the future!

This is cool, I'll sign up to their September event when it's published.

The hackathon section is interesting too. Do they host hackathons, or just help companies organise them?

Good to hear that the one in Boston was full of enthusiastic folk. What format did it take? Was it quite structured, or very casual meeting and discussion?

Thanks, hope to see you at one in the future!

Will do, I hope to make it a monthly recurring event.

If you join the group on Meetup you should get a notification when the next event is scheduled.
