I just spent the last couple of days working extremely hard on getting a major version of my project released and now I don't really feel motivated to work on code. It happens every so often.

Hey HN,

Pogo v2.0.0 is a huge overhaul when it comes to the frontend, setup and general usability of Pogo, and has been months in the making. I've posted here before but it's been in a fairly "beta" state, but with v2 I feel confident in the stability and long term usability of the application. Hopefully it stands the test of time!

Totally open for suggestion on how to fix this - right now I'm using regex and a list of "profane" words, so nothing too fancy. But I'm interested in looking into solutions for this problem.

I noticed users on reddit reporting this was rolling out.

Yup, I'm sorry it came across that way.

Android 7.0+ does ask for permission to use the microphone when requested, and can be turned off in the settings. I believe this is also on 6.0 but I'm not 100% sure.

This is exactly what I need for one of my projects - thanks for posting!

They are available in Nightly and Beta, I'm surprised they aren't in the main release yet.

This is actually a good idea, but I might take it a step further and deploy my own Git server (even as a backup). If GitHub goes down or your billing lapses, you'll loose access to those documents. Plus, with your own server, if there is some sort of catastrophic GitHub breach you'll be confident your data is okay.

I am posting this in the hope of insightful comments, and pray it doesn't incite some sort of flame war. I am not affiliated with Spiked.

I would love to dump feeds, get off Twitter and nuke my Facebook, but the sad thing is I can't. They are legitimately tools (moreso Twitter in my case) for networking and connecting with people. Twitter is used daily for talking to friends and reaching out to people, and Facebook is pretty much required so I can talk to colleagues because apparently texting is antequated. I'd like to move everything off social networks and rely on Telegram or SMS, but it's not possible. If anyone has suggestions how to get around this I'm more than willing to try something else out.

I can see the novelty of it ("Look at my fancy <github> tag!"), but it would definitely be more helpful if it used a standard HTML element (preferably <div>). I've personally opted for this implementation on my own projects: https://github.com/tholman/github-corners, which are just SVGs which makes it super portable.

I like the layout, but I still find it way too confusing, especially compared to Carrd.co or the like (not affiliated with them, I just use the service). Look cool though, and the demo is pretty snappy.

Looks like a neat little project.

Quick question; why not split the PHP file into index.html and upload.php (or whatever)? I get that simplicity is key ("This one file does everything!"), but you could use that to build a couple more features (maybe some sort of PIN protection). Just throwing some ideas out there, cool utility nonetheless.

Edit: And by splitting the file you could allow other people to build little frontends like native apps or browser extensions.

I 100% agree, as a native English speaker (western Canada). "Hey Google" has a much nicer flow, although I say "Google" too much on a daily basis for me to want that to be a trigger (practically speaking).

I just want to throw my podcasting hosting solution Pogo into the comments (I know I'm a little late but I digress) - if you'd prefer to host your own feed on your own servers it's a fantastic solution - especially considering I haven't seen anything like it (hence the reason of creation) - https://github.com/gmemstr/pogo

Came home and checked for updates - they have fixed the issue (that was quick!).

Can confirm Fira Code works fine, although the update has broken the interface a little bit, at least for me.

Disclaimer, I am not the author of this post. However the original author appears to be the creator of Kentico Cloud (https://kenticocloud.com). It essentially is an API for retrieving content from their CMS and using it in your own frontend, think along the lines of headless Chrome - it's working in the background, so you don't see an interface, but you can make calls to it.

I want to start podcasting so I built myself a podcast CMS/RSS generator https://github.com/gmemstr/whiterabbit it's my first go at Golang so I'm still learning slowly.

It looks pretty cool (I'm not in the US but it's still interesting data to look at). Not to nitpick but I feel like the data could be formatted slightly better, like spacing in the "TotalClaimCount" and "OpiodClaimCount" text, and removing the trailing decimal.

I currently use two keyboards; the chiclet keyboard on my Razer Blade Stealth (primary computer) and a Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition with green Razer/Kalih switches. I previously used a Corsair K70 Rapidfire, which is a damn solid feeling keyboard and I actually prefer the Cherry MX Speed switches to the high-actuation Razer/Kalih greens when it comes to actual typing (gaming, strangely, not as much). That said, I have been actively looking at options on MechnicalKeyboards.com (no affiliation) - I prefer blue switches, which the greens are equivalent to.

By far though I am most comfortable with the travel and feel of the chiclet keys on my laptop, which is a strange thing to say but they have an amazing feel.

Here's a little story about how my gold card was disabled;

I was ordering coffee and my balance wasn't quite sufficient. I reloaded it via PayPal, but the balance didn't update so I tried again (it did error out). The app crashed, I reopened it and found it had added both transactions to my account. Open dispute on PayPal for just one of the transactions, got a refund but my card was completely locked out - $0 balance, couldn't reload it (the dispute was after I tried contacting support). So now I don't go to Starbucks.

I've (technically) automated server monitoring.

I am a solo Sysadmin at a decently sized game server host and we have ~60 different dedicated servers. I wrote Platypus as a way of keeping track of it all. It's still definitely a work in progress (bugs are plentiful), but it now uses websockets so theres that. https://github.com/gmemstr/platypus

Reminds me a lot of nexe, a project a friend of mine is the maintainer of. I'd like to compare the differences between this, nexe and enclosejs, in terms of speed and final binary size.

I'd be really curious to see how this data is actually used on their end. I got my QC35s a few months ago and have been loving them, but was super disappointed when I read the article. I'll probably end up uninstalling the app for the time being, at least until it's resolved.

On another note, I wonder if any other wireless audio manufacturers are doing similar things.

Some people just don't want to install packages and prefer to keep the editor as is. And i can't blame them, the only packages I install are my usual theme and Emmet.

I'm currently working on a project for real-time server monitoring using websockets in python. Might have been a mistake to use Python for this sort of thing but regardless...

Hi HN, I've been working on Platypus for the past 6 months or so, recently dedicated a lot more of my time to it. It's mostly built for the company I currently work for, but I want to keep it open source so others can use it as well. I would appreciate any and all feedback as I move into planning 3.0.0. :)

An admin interface (among other improvements) to Platypus (https://github.com/GGServers/platypus). It's a (admittedly simple) server monitoring application written in Python.
