dhumph··on Generate parametric, manufacturable 3D models in seconds
Examples guys. You are telling me a lot and not showing me. Get rid of the home page animation that does nothing and replace it with examples that show real world use cases, step by step.
dhumph··on Show HN: I spent 4 years building a UI design tool with only the features I use
Your pricing makes it seem like $12 for a year.
dhumph··on Show HN: Figma-use – CLI to control Figma for AI agents
This is interesting, and I keep waiting for figma to release prompt to design without going thru Make. It must be touch to crack-or it will hurt their business model. The plug-ins in the space don’t respect components in the toolkit. Curious how far you can push this “Make a login form using my component library “ “Create no new design layouts of the selected frame” Can’t wait to try this out!
dhumph··on Developers are choosing older AI models
Cline & Open router
dhumph··on Flowstep: AI design assistant built with Sonnet/WebGL canvas (launched today)
Congrats on the launch. It would be great to see a comparison against the other players in the market that i've seen recently : onlook, magicpatterns, motiff, and on and on.

How do you feel you are differentiated?

dhumph··on Show HN: A super capable cleaning robot
Impressive, but I’d teach it to use a different rag for the toilet and kitchen table.
dhumph··on I've been using Claude Code for a couple of days
I find cline to be incredible about 80% of the time for creating new concept websites or python scripts. I use it with Open router and choose Claude exclusively. I’d CC is the next step we are headed in a crazy and scary direction.
dhumph··on AI and two hundred dollar tasks
I thought this was going to be about my wasted 200 OpenAI pro subscription to get operator. It’s failed all its tasks so far.
dhumph··on Ask HN: How do you backup your Android?
Plug my phone into my computer and run a php script that puts all the photos in neat folders onto a hd attached to a pi. Sound like i could upgrade based on the responses here.
dhumph··on Show HN: Room Magic Design – Your Ultimate Interior Design Platform
This x1000. Lots of examples.
dhumph··on Carbon Capture Facility in World Creates 25x More CO2 from Use of Product
Hank green discussed this recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dRgCsZ1q7g
dhumph··on Show HN: RankIt - Private leagues w/ranking for tabletennis, shuffleboard, dart
I would include pickle ball and make a seo page about how to use it for pickle ball. It seems like that is growing in popularity
dhumph··on Show HN: Don't Press the Red Button
Ha! Need some sort of loading thing, i almost left before it had rendered
dhumph··on Rabbit: LLM-First Mobile Phone
I don't know about others, but I don't want something else to carry in my pocket.. especially something that duplicates what i can already do, just in a different way.

seems like it's connecting to external services but i'm not sure why siri couldn't do that.

dhumph··on Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world
Not sure if op is affiliated, but I recommend increasing the font size of the street names as you zoom in. Look forward to using this in the future
dhumph··on Show HN: Rolling Potato Website
Okay hobby programmer, did you break into the market? You have a fun collection of sites.
dhumph··on Show HN: I made an all-in-one desktop app with a no-BS approach to get work done
I love your homepage explainer videos with the zoom and text. You do those yourself or hire a service?

On pricing I would want to download 7 day trial, then purchase that version and buy upgrades. It’s no bs pricing for your no bs desktop.

dhumph··on Improving sleep
I don’t see any mention of cold showers / ice baths. That seems trendy now and people suggest sleep improvements. I notice my restless leg has a lot to do with sleep quality.
dhumph··on Ask HN: What's the coolest physical thing you've made?
I wrote and illustrated a childrens book for my daughter who had open heart surgery as a baby. https://www.amazon.com/Zip-Line-David-Humpherys/dp/147919609...
dhumph··on Show HN: I spent 2 years building a personal finance simulator
It looks very nice. I have used wealthtrace in the past. I see a lot of mentions of various other tools in the thread. You might consider a competition comparison page to distinguish your solution.
dhumph··on Show HN: Construct Animate – our new browser-based animation tool
Can you describe how it's different/better than something like svgator?

Also, i just went to create a new project: 2 things immediately were a problem 1. the modal didn't have differentiation between primary button color and secondary. I clicked cancel 2. after clicking create it took >30+ seconds and there was no indication that something was happening.

I look forward to checking it out more!

dhumph··on My Daughter's Rescue Dog Helped Me Deal with Her Addiction
Congratulations on 8 years!
dhumph··on Show HN: An AI image generator for blog posts
i'm getting errors - typed "flower"
dhumph··on Ask HN: Did I make a mistake jumping on the homestead bandwagon?
consider if there is a in between option that fits. Off grid but not self sufficient? No animals but huge garden? Try to find the things that do give value to you. If you did the whole thing just to be known as the homesteading guy then be honest with yourself and give it up.
dhumph··on Ask HN: What tiny purchases have disproportionately improved your life?
A co2 tank and 5gal keg to make seltzer. My wife drink 5gal a week and it’s easier, cheaper, and as far as I can figure better for environment. Seltzer on tap!
dhumph··on Show HN: Three Things Daily – Make gratitude a daily habit
Thinking about this more... the barrier is big for me because this type of social sharing i dont find value in. for those that do, i suspect that enabling them to share on platforms that are more popular could be useful.

Or, is there value in aggregating things that people say to help those who are struggling to find a reason to be grateful. .. turn that into a weekly trend line. are people more grateful for their health during a pandemic? are people more grateful for their spouse in the summer? that sort of stuff could be interesting.

dhumph··on Show HN: Three Things Daily – Make gratitude a daily habit
I like the idea of this, but frankly the necessity of a login is too big of a barrier for me.
dhumph··on A web app that helps you take slow, deep and relaxing breaths
Looks cool. But Doesn’t work on iPad safari.
dhumph··on Show HN: Critter.Camera – Browser based motion detection and image capture
This confused me also. Perhaps default to the image.

I also would love a sensitivity setting and a number of images per second to capture setting. I would be interested in using this overnight but curious how quickly I would fill up memory.

dhumph··on Show HN: Critter.Camera – Browser based motion detection and image capture
Can I switch witch camera it uses?
