dhumph··on Show HN: Generate 3D device mockups in a quick and engaging way
Nice stuff! As some who has needed to put ux mockups into images of phones this is cool. A few thoughts. -On the home be numb-down clear: turn this(pictur of image) into this(pic of image on devices) -the 3d is cool, but I can also see a lot of benefit to having just real photos that I can put my image in.. i’ve Plopped many designs into stock photos ..this takes an hour or so - to the above point..consider adding a one time cost. I know subscriptions are the rage for us focus on says recurring revenue, but it’s frequently not what users want.

Good luck!

dhumph··on Ask HN: What changes did you make that improved your life siginficantly?
I realized that I was the biggest limiting factor in my future. The rules I defined for myself were in fact self created.
dhumph··on Ask HN: How to Quit?
I hear your struggle and commend you for seeking advice. If you don’t hear something that helps keep looking and asking.

While not a developer, I can relate. For me i’ve Accepted where my skills are compared to others. Ultimately my job affords me a lot of opportunity that other (possibly more fulfilling jobs) wouldn’t. So I focus on developing those areas outside work and just let my boring job pay my bills. I go to work to be paid. I accept It won’t delight me most of the time and will bore me frequently...which is fine because regardless of how I feel they pay me.

For me this is better than the alternative where I’m bored in a different way and making less.

Good luck on your journey

dhumph··on Ask HN: How do you influence your future self?
I try to focus on influencing my current self to point it in the direction I want my future self to be. I do ‘‘tis be writing down what I want to be in 5 years then work backwards from there at tactical changes.

Based on your homepage I have no idea what your selling.
dhumph··on Show HN: Organize Your Homeschool with OnoSchool
You have to tell people what it does, what problem it solves. How it solves it. Show some images of the app or let me use it without registering.
dhumph··on Launch HN: Wyndly (YC W21) – Allergy relief through at-home oral drops
Hi, This is so very timely! I just got a allergy skin test yesterday for animals and in the doctor's words it was "negative" - however my irritated eyes would disagree - and the fate of the guinea pig in my living room is hanging in the balance.

Given the number of google results for this it would be great if you discussed how a skin response could be different than a sinus/eye response...

Also, in the section for the at home blood test - i'd be interested in understanding how blood test differ from a skin test and if it's less subjective. While I have a hive response to bee I don't have any to dog... does the blood test give me specific #'s on this spectrum? Do you use these as inputs to provide an appropriate dose of that allergen, or are all starting doeses very low.

How does this work for something like a severe bee alergy?

Given the complexity of allergies and the numerous ways they have symptoms, it would be great if you discussed how immunotherpy can help individual symptoms. Perhaps your UX could have a journey that the customer goes down. What are you alergic to? Where do you see symptoms? How bad are they? -> here's our recommedation and research that backs up why this will work for you.

Pictures amigo. You can’t sell a product without pictures.
dhumph··on Ask HN: How did you escape your safe 9-5 job?
Depends. Do you have a family? A spouse? Debt? Do you need meaning in your work or just a paycheck to get satisfaction out of life. You create your own meaning or lack of it - the job doesn’t inherently have or not have it. If you want a more fulfilling life find thing that give you that and do them. they don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
dhumph··on Show HN: Cross-platform open-source 3D modeling software
You just made my week. This is exactly what I’ve been wishing I could find.
dhumph··on Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source
One quick bit of feedback - i'm not as likely to try it out if i have to register first. Create a demo area where i can play, but not save and use that as bait for registration.
dhumph··on How to get started in robotics programming
There are tons of arduino and raspberry pi kits out there. Get one and try to do something with it. I built a bounce & turn vacuum to learn.
dhumph··on Show HN: Quickly create powerful dashboards writing SQL – Become data driven
I’m interested...I recommend that you need to show some of these ‘beautiful’ dashboards right on your home page otherwise I’m not going to bite.
dhumph··on Show HN: Alkali.app, AI for everyone
I'll shoot you an email!
dhumph··on Show HN: Alkali.app, AI for everyone
I'm intrigued - especially on what it would do with some of the data from a site of mine. But can't give much feedback without using it or seeing it in action. Are you looking for beta people?

The one thing that did notice is that some of the fonts are thin and lack contrast to the background - making them a bit hard to read.

dhumph··on Need feedback on my first SAAS pre-launch – WebTraff
I need a lot more details. How is it going to increase conversions. Show examples. How does it not use any code? What’s the process to use it? Don’t use ‘anon.’ Just spell it out. Human language. In your subscribe box say ‘enter email to subscribe’ or something more specific. Where are T&C and Privacy?
dhumph··on Show HN: A website for generating perler bead patterns from images
I like the design. Assuming this is for adults? I do these with my kids but didn’t think it went further. How did you validate your customer base and pricing model?
dhumph··on Show HN: Ryeboard- a free virtual whiteboard (open beta)
I recommend having a video or something that demonstrates how to use it. I have to see it working before i signup. Even better, allow me to play in a demo account.
dhumph··on Ask HN: What are the things that you have automated in your personal life?
Do you have any information that would allow some to build something similar? Would love to see the setup!
dhumph··on Looking for a tech partner
If you want to succeed your going to need to put more effort in here. Describe it. What are you looking for. What do you bring to the table. Everybody has ideas, hows yours special.
dhumph··on Ask HN: Should I keep this Job board for free or sell it as a lifetime deal?
I'm not in this space but I would Ask your current customers and prospective customers what you can what you can do to improve. Test and learn. Add feedback mechanisms and other ways to capture input. Good luck
dhumph··on Ask HN: My former employer wants my sig for a patent filing. Should I bother?
Things change, you might not want it now, but you could in the future.
dhumph··on Ask HN: My former employer wants my sig for a patent filing. Should I bother?
Sign it and put it on your resume. Even as a filing its something to show to future employers. Not sure how it could bite you in the ass. Of course read it first and make sure it's factual.
dhumph··on Show HN: UserInsights – Get 5 minutes of real user feedback
A bit of honest feedback from a potential customer. I want to know more about your testers. "rigorous training" doesn't tell me enough. Also - When i look at the signup form to become a tester it doesn't tell me what i'm going to have to do either. Finally, the link to your T&C on register doesn't work - and i don't see it in your footer - or a privacy policy anywhere. I like the site design - nice and clean and welcoming. Good luck!
dhumph··on Are you Managing GDPR yourself?
Thanks! I looked at your profile and checked out the pages you list - when i click the privacy in the footer of the home page i got a 404.

btw, love the site design!

dhumph··on Are you Managing GDPR yourself?
Great. Can you provide contact info?
dhumph··on Show HN: Proven by Users – Online Card Sorting for UX Professionals
My assumption is that UX people finding this page would know that going in..but I totally see your point that I'm not addressing on the home page. Thanks.
