enjoiful··on Convert paper-based notes to HTML content with Google Vision API
I am looking for a great OCR software I can run locally instead of using Cloud Vision. Do you have any suggestions?
enjoiful··on Unofficial APIs
There were amazing city maps for active pokemon spawns. It would show all currently spawned pokemon, as well as how much longer they would be there for. It was fun to see what is around you at any given point, but only marginally useful without notifications.

I noticed that one of the more popular SF pokmeon go mapping websites was using a simple REST API. You gave it a coordinate, and it would spit out locations for all pokemon within a mile radius or so. I created a background python task on my computer that would hit this API every 2 minutes with my apartment's location, plus like a mile range around it.

If it found any rare pokemon (Gyrados, Dragonite, etc.) the python program sent a message to a specific slack channel that I set up. It was an easy way for me to get push notifications on my phone when something spawned around me. From there, I would high tail it on my bike and catch the pokemon. I still have this Pokemon channel at my work Slack instance haha.

It was amazing. My pokedex filled up so quick. This approach only worked for about 3 weeks until Niantic majorly cracked down on their API, which rendered all the API scrappers obsolete. But that period was by far the most fun I had with Pokemon GO. I whipped that program up in like 3 hours on a Saturday and it was the only time in my life where I've felt like a l33t hacker, even though I was doing some very basic REST API operations. The actually impressive thing was the mapping website that was scrapping the actual Niantic API.

enjoiful··on Unity Learn platform free for three months
Check out Dreams for PS4. It's perfect to create games with kids.
enjoiful··on Unity Learn platform free for three months
I would highly recommend learning Dreams for PS4. This is going to change the way video games are made. It provides an accessible way to get into game creation in a fun and accessible way. I would have killed to have Dreams when I was 12 years old.

Look up all the amazing things that can be made with this engine. It's incredible!

Can you explain this concept more? Sounds interesting.

enjoiful··on Ask HN: Best language to share code between an Android and iOS app?
Surprised no one has mentioned NativeScript yet. I've used it, admittedly only for investigation purposes, but was super impressed.

Hey Tom — nice to see you around. Dan from InnoVint here.
enjoiful··on Ask HN: React Native or Flutter?
PWAs are only getting better.
enjoiful··on Ask HN: React Native or Flutter?
I’m pretty sure they’re joking and it’s a good joke at that.

If serious, well then web dev deserves its reputation.

enjoiful··on Ask HN: React Native or Flutter?
I mean this genuinely and without offense... are you serious or joking?

enjoiful··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2018)
InnoVint | Senior Front End Developer (Angular)| SF, CA | REMOTE OK

We're building winery management software, particularly focused around winemaking. Our web application completely models and captures the winemaking process -- including grape growing and pressing, wine blending, analytical measurements, reporting and more. We've been in business for 5 years, we service over 350 wineries, and are generating enough revenue to sustain the company and grow indefinitely. Revenue continues to grow nearly 2x every year. We are looking to expand internationally soon, but we need more help. Our engineering is basically 3 people strong.

We're looking for another Angular Guru to join our team, with experience in both AngularJS and Angular and a strong passion for Typescript.

Please reach out via the craigslist link -- it will go directly to me (Dan, CTO). There are product screen shots as well as further info about the gig.

enjoiful··on Ask HN: What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work?
The difference is, an elevator is a precisely defined problem and never needs to have its functionality improved and changed.

In fact, you could build the exact elevator almost identically. Software is never like that — it’s dynamic and constantly changing throughout the life cycle of the software.

enjoiful··on Why Did So Many Startups Choose MongoDB?
Django's ORM and migration tools are amazing.
enjoiful··on Literate SQL
I love Django -- but what it does is mostly magic to me. That being said... I'm fairly competent in being effective in Django -- although not for advanced and efficient querying.

I want to get strong in SQL -- where/how do I start?

enjoiful··on The top iPhone apps are taking up a lot more space
It is if it can only be downloaded on WiFi -- I see that as a big motivating factor to keep your app below 50 or 100mb (whatever the Cellular data limit is).
enjoiful··on If It Weren’t for Apple, Hybrid App Development Would Be the Winner Over Native
I don't think HTML5 can access the phone's camera. For my app, this is critical and another reason why we're stuck on native.
enjoiful··on Scala Native v0.1
At first glance of this article's title, I thought it would be a terrible idea to use Scala to write native mobile applications. Imagine using Scala.JS to write a NativeScript/React Native app. shutters
