drodil··on Show HN: I built an interactive course that helps you learn Vim faster
When I was learning vim, I decided to extend the existing vimtutor with some more programming specific tasks. You can find it at https://github.com/drodil/codetutor.vim if you are interested :)
drodil··on Cities with Nice Weather
In Finland we usually sleep during the winters and stay awake during the summers
drodil··on Ask HN: What do you do to jump start your brain in the morning?
And 5mins later, toilet :D
drodil··on Make Front End Shit Again (2018)
And still you needed Vue.js to make this (shit)?
drodil··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2022 – Show and tell
I made one too with inkplate. The software is open sourced. More details here: https://link.medium.com/DeyY5FlcXmb
drodil··on Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year?
Congrats!
drodil··on Ask HN: Will there ever be a E Ink Photo Frame?
I really enjoy working with Inkplate [1]. Besides showing photos, you can show all kinds of information like weather, calendar and whatever. Takes some coding but at least you can customize it for your needs.

drodil··on Show HN: Pony – a messenger for mindful correspondence
I wish there was such feature in Outlook. Any way to do a plugin for that with this idea? :)
drodil··on Intermittent fasting prompts anti-inflammatory response
I have done IF for almost 2 years now. Some personal experiences from my blog if interested: https://link.medium.com/ju1cOdlG9kb
drodil··on POSSE: Publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere
POSSE is also Finnish TV show with the Dudesons hosting it :D
drodil··on The fastest object diff library in JavaScript
Nice one. Have you tried replacing the for loops with forEach? It might be even more performant.
drodil··on Show HN: Privacy-first, minimal, fast blogging/newsletter platform
Have been looking for options to move away from Medium.com and this looks promising. Would appreciate functionality to automatically import existing posts from other platforms (like medium has).
drodil··on Goto (2007)
The most amazing goto is:

void main() { goto http; printf("Hello world!"); http://www.hello-world.com }

drodil··on Obsidian – A knowledge base from a local folder of plain text Markdown files
Just get the git plugin and create private repo somewhere. Problem solved
drodil··on Show HN: Free, Accessible AI Art Generator
Running "mouse on fire" gives pretty disturbing images :D
drodil··on Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
Lately I wrote a small ssh client that allows you to take your configuration files (such as .bashrc, .vimrc) to the remote easily. Got too frustrated copying those manually as I have quite many remotes I work with and also because I like to tune my configs constantly. Also I have some ideas for further development once I have time for that.

drodil··on Apache Age: A Graph Extension for PostgreSQL
Very ugly code review process in that project in Developer Guidelines
drodil··on It Can Happen to You
Cool stuff mate! Searching for sscanf in github produces over 19 million results with over 15 million in C code. I bet there might be few cases where it could be replaced with something else... :) (not saying it's not useful function when used correctly)
drodil··on Ask HN: What are your best purchases in 2020?
Tregren T6 kitchen garden. So relaxing to see things grow without putting too much effort in it.

Valco headphones. Price-quality wise the best you can get.

Roborock S6 maxv. Damn convenient especially if you have furry pets.

1Password. Finally got my passwords under control.

drodil··on An open-source standards and software project for intimate hardware (maybe NSFW)
Yet another project that is "made by developers for developers" :D
drodil··on Say Yes to Markdown, No to MS Word
Ok I admit the mistaken word in the article. Still the argument is valid, don't you agree? :)
drodil··on Say Yes to Markdown, No to MS Word
Very good point. There would be an awesome opportunity for some software engineer to create such editor (cross-platform of course). Also it could support other markup languages such as Textile as they don't differ from each other so much.

Also what would help this is that the Markdown was standardized and would have these features included out-of-the-box.

drodil··on AWS DeepLens – Deep learning enabled video camera for developers
"HOT DOG NOT HOT DOG" really makes it useful for adult film industry :D
drodil··on Ask HN: Which cross-platform password managment service do you use?
Keepass2. Just to keep it only on local computer and with me on USB stick.
drodil··on Ask HN: Reached 1k+ paying or registered users without spending on ads?
If I understood right you are asking how to get the users without advertisement...(?) I think most important thing is good and easy-to-use product. People should be able to start using the product as easily as possible. If the product is for example website, the registration and start of use should not be more than 3 clicks away.

Next thing is social visibility (for example Facebook, Twitter, blogs etc.). Especially inside look for product development and new upcoming features give the users something to wait for. Also referral programs (discount or some other benefit for people who get friends and family join to use the product) are proven to be very working concept.

Also one thing to consider is to allow people use the product for free for example for 1 month and after that either automatic or manual contact to continue the usage and start paying.

The whole thing depends a lot what kind of product you are talking about. Applications have their own channels where you can get users from for example app reviews done by some bloggers on the internet.

True, in Finland it's very good if you get 50k. Most SW engineers work for 25-40k salaries.

drodil··on Deep Photo Style Transfer
