None right now, but I was considering having a freemium model and charge for additional customization and features that do cost more like location-aware events.

I was too lazy to implement this at first and was also afraid of abuse, but this is a good idea, will work on it!

Thank you for the kind words! I was thinking the same thing, I didn't really find a good solution for group trips and also wanted something where I can send a link after the trip to friends that wanted to go to the same place. If you recall the issues with the other sites, do let me know! I am interested to hear.

Thank you!

I had personally not used stores a lot before, but realized how powerful they were in the project. I would try to abstract away as much as possible of the Firebase stuff and having your components talk to the store as data source. This makes it a lot easier for real-time stuff to work right (but also auth, you want to make sure to update state across the page once users log in or out).

I haven't used it myself, but it looks like the goals are different. TripIt is meant for trip planning for a single person and organizing travel and stay mainly. Calenday is meant for cross-user collaboration of trips and getting consensus on activities between multiple people.

I also use Google Calendar, but in my experience sync between calendars across users is slow unless you send out invites for each event (instead of sharing a calendar). Calenday is supposed to be a real-time solution (updates happen near-instantly). It also allows you to add the plan to external calendar apps, but with a delay (imposed by the external service).

I hope for Calenday to implement features specifically for trip planning (although I am also trying to find other applications). Ideas I were considering are adding location-aware functionality like figuring out travel time and such.

I definitely agree that it is difficult to make users switch if there isn't enough of a value add. I was hoping for features like the suggestions and voting to give enough of a reason to switch, but admit that it might not be enough.

I really appreciate your comment about finding a niche and fixing pain points there. Certainly a less clear path, but more fruitful too as you mentioned.

Good points, thank you for taking the time to put this together!

Thank you! This is really nice to hear! And good idea as well, I will look into adding an open suggestion mode.

I should surface this better, but you can click and drag on the calendar or drag the event button to the calendar to quick add!

Correct, yes, I subscribe to the Firebase Cloud Firestore events and update a Svelte store whenever something changes. This way I only need to set up the connections once and every Svelte component can just subscribe to updates to the store.

Writing is more challenging, I haven't found a nice solution so I resort to making calls with the Firebase SDK directly (but those updates are then surfaced nicely again through the store).

Just added it, looking forward to hearing from you!

That's a really cool idea! A friend mentioned something similar. I will look into that, I think the UX might be hard to nail down.

I am not sure on how to best indicate it, but it might be interesting to show availability of each person as a shaded background. Darker shade would mean more people present. I will put it on my backlog, thank you!

I kept the website purposefully vague to just mention "planning together" in general. I was thinking this might be helpful to plan corporate events, but haven't really thought of many other use cases.

Do you have any in mind? Definitely interested to hear of any ideas!

Hi HN!

I built this website after having to recreate the same Google Sheets template over and over for different trips. This is basically Google Docs for calendars along with some other helpful features like voting and categories for trip ideas.

The website itself was built using SvelteKit with Firebase for the database and authentication, all hosted on Vercel.

Feel free to ask anything!

Google Fi seems decent. But course it is Google itself, not sure what shenanigans the pull.

Yes! I believe Photoshop uses it in their implementation, though I am not sure: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/content-aware-scalin...

I used this for a personal project [1] a couple of years ago to shorten audio files without making them sound like they were cut. This is done by removing repeated sections like replacing two choruses with one. I initially wanted this to "resize" background music to match video footage I had, but it is kind of fun to just mess around with songs too (like those content aware scale picture memes, but to create the shortest possible audio).

I think for my use case specifically, the library was kind of overkill though and something like librosa [2] would have been enough for feature extraction.

The FAQ says their iOS version does support extensions

On the page, one option advertised is for €23.53/month with an Intel Core i7-4770, 2 TB HDD, and 32 GB RAM. What’s the catch? How is it possible to rent such hardware for so cheap?

Though small, isn't convenience a benefit? I think a lot of new developers especially find it marginally easier to copy a script-tag.

No specification, but the linked website mentions that they “propose a syntax like "MECARD" for specifying wi-fi configuration” and then later:

> Special characters \, ;, ,, " and : should be escaped with a backslash (\) as in MECARD encoding.

Similarly http://http.rip/ is short and memorable

Not sure if they updated it recently, but it pulls up all SO instant answer for me.

The approach I have seen is to apply the cursor you want to the entire body using JS so even if your cursor momentarily escapes the element the wanted cursor is shown. You just need to make sure to revert back to the default cursor when the users stops dragging or the window loses focus.

I am not really familiar with the industry, why will TSMC give preferential treatment to Apple orders?

Even if there were a PIN code to power off regularly, you could always force cut the power (like pressing power for 10s on a computer). I think this has to be possible by law for emergencies.

Could you elaborate on the first point? Do they run live race detection on streams and cut off access?

If anyone has a site similar to Reddit or HN in German I would be interested. Anything with interesting discussion really.

I think you could also run this on an iframe embedded in a page

While it might seem trivial, Robinhood's UX is a major plus for many.

Out of curiosity, what streams do you have up? And how do you work without getting distracted?
