Hi everyone, I made this (open-source) app when setting up my own server for self-hosting apps and websites.

Because I couldn't find a reliable, simple and free solution for something I actually wanted: lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics without cookies, banners or handing my visitors over to a third party.

Feel free to have a look, and I'd love to hear what you think if you've got any feedback!

I second this. The tsx library is zero config and always "just works" in my experience, which puts it miles ahead of ts-node, imo.

Is Sketch subscription only? I had it on my list to purchase because I thought they offered a perpetual license.

But you're right, now that I'm reading the FAQ on their pricing page, I'm finding it really confusing:

"""

Q: Is Sketch only available as a subscription?

A: No. You can still get a Mac-only license for $120 yearly [sic] if you don’t need the web app and only want to use the Mac app to design. (...)

"""

Their answer seems rather contradictory. Does anybody know whether they offer perpetual licenses or not? Or know of a competitor who does?

Thanks, will check it out!

Got it, thank you so much!

This is pretty good!

I've been trying to have the free GPT-3.5 explain me things, but the results were a bit mixed (I caught it making a few things up earlier). But I might give GPT-4 a try, thanks!

Thanks!

I'm definitely going to have a look at some of the resources from your blog post.

With regards to the standard documentation: I notice that I'm able to read the sentences, but I'm finding it a bit difficult to really turn it into a working project I actually understand.

(For instance: the docs give an example of how bind to a socket address, but I'm not sure how to morph this into a simple echo server, for example, which writes back whatever I sent to it. Feels a bit like I might be missing some general information about TCP and how to test it, how it relates to HTTP, etc.)

That's a really good point!

It came about this way because I have the ad-free YouTube subscription myself, forgetting about the many people who don't have it, and would be plagued by ads like you say.

I'll be looking for a way to allow listening to the intervals right on the page soon, thank you!

Hi HN,

A few months ago I made this website called Treblekey.

Since I began learning how to play guitar and piano about 2-3 years ago, I've been looking for a tool to help me:

- learn how to navigate the guitar fretboard

- practice hearing and identifying musical intervals (ear training)

- other things I might come up with in the future

And I thought: "it would be pretty nice if there was an app with useful musical exercises for beginners", which is how I got the idea for Treblekey.

Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think :)

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing, this is amazing

Most of the tile art was taken from a GitHub repository [1], and most of the background assets (trees, clouds) were taken from a website called Freepik [2] where I have a paid subscription.

I just added some color and assembled everything into a single composition :)

There's always at least 1 "path" to solving a newly generated game, but if you deviate from this path by matching tiles differently, you might end up getting stuck (where you can shuffle the remaining tiles) or even in an impossible situation (where the final two tiles are stacked on top of each other).

Relatable! My first version of the tile generation placed every tile randomly, which meant I always got stuck, haha. Setting the board up in pairs is indeed what solved the issue.

Interesting... I’ll try to add some kind of indicator to show there’s some more content below the fold

Yes you're right, I wish I knew how to edit the post title to include the word "Solitaire" to avoid confusion.

Thanks a lot for the great feedback!

- I'm considering creating a Western variation of the tile set where the black characters (Chinese for 1 - 9) are replaced by 1, 2, ... 9, which might help a bit with the pattern matching (you might get used to the Chinese characters after a while, though!)

- 100% agree, the depth perception could be better

- the flower pot is a progress marker

Yes that's correct - there are 4 unique flower tiles which can all be matched with one another

If you refresh the page, you'll now find the playlist at the bottom - glad that you like it!

Good idea!

Now that you mention it, I guess there's really no reason for the tile images to be draggable so I better disable that! Also, thanks :)

That's a good point - I guess that sound effect doesn't go so well with the rest of the atmosphere.

The first song in the playlist is called "Out and About" by David Renda: https://www.fesliyanstudios.com/royalty-free-music/download/...

Will you consider candidates from outside the UK?
