jktzes··on Ask HN: I'm building to-do app for ADHD, what would you want in a ToDo app?
I don't think a to-do app that could effectively help ADHDers ever existed. Never heard of one, probably never will. If such a tool exists you will def see it in r/ADHD or similar communities. When you have no competitor in a market probably the problem is the market. I don't think a niche market for ADHD todo apps exists. Because the problem is not solvable by a todo app. Just like you can't effectively help austic people by offering social manner courses.

For a quote sent to your inbox. I know. Ridiculous
jktzes··on Show HN: Personal Interactive Cantonese Dictionary
a nitpick: “天时地理人和” should be "天时地利人和".
jktzes··on Show HN: I made an online journaling app focused on day overview using emojis
Very interesting journaling app. Carry on with the good work
jktzes··on Shanghai Hacker News meetup (September 2023)
This is so underwhelming!

This event was organized by an agency called wiredcraft, which is a red flag.

The two presentations given were so underwhelming they feel like a training session for interns.

They somehow find two consultants from other agencies and the first presentation is about some preliminary manual data cleaning in excel, like duh.

The second presentation is about a chatbot. But the presenter got zero insight on her training. It’s just a half-assed demo on how to integrate an existing LLM with voice to text API and text to voice API.

The worst part is I can’t even find anyone ranting about how incompatible with hacker news this event is.

Shame on you for using hacker news as the hook to attract people to this huge semi-marketing campaign.

10/10 will not come again. Hacker news meetup? Hacker my ass!

jktzes··on Show HN: Read-N-Search: Bring Kindle-style 1-click lookup to mobile browser
Hi HN! Ezo here. I love reading stuff. In my daily reading, one thing I find super annoying is the amount of clicks it takes to look something up on a mobile device. Inspired by Kindle’s lookup feature, I built a browser that makes every word on every website lookup-able. All it takes is 1 click. Try it out!
jktzes··on Ask HN: What's the history of [upvote] feature?
May I know the time?
jktzes··on Show HN: Humaaans, generate human illustrations in one line
Well, somebody just read my mind! Thanks for the kind words BTW! I aim to make this asset library configurable and easy to contribute. The final goal is to enable designers to contribute their SVG files without any code. Thanks to designers like Pablo Stanley, this kind of templates can be developed. I hope this can become a new way for designers to collaborate with each other. Anyway, I’ll see you in the 2.0 release!
jktzes··on Ask HN: Review this startup idea we are discussing
In China, the service you described already exists. It’s Zaih.com. I think people can either choose to meet an expert in person or ask the expert a question(they need to pay of course). However, this product is not monetizing well in China so it’s pivoting towards online training(kinda like udemy).
jktzes··on Show HN: I made an IMDB for Tech
Could you tell us the difference between this and crunchbase?
jktzes··on Ask HN: What discontinued company/product do you wish was still around?
The mailbox that was acquired by Dropbox. They invented the “swipe your email to do things” trick and then no more. They have clients on iOS and Mac that work seamlessly. I still miss it very much.
jktzes··on Show HN: Rwtxt – a space for reading and writing text
I was wondering how to save text without sign-up and then realized that the url slug generated from the first line is the "login". Although no password implies no authentication. I can't help smiling seeing the slug becomes a unique id when I put "test" at the first line. I smiled even wider when I visited the "test" page. This is some interesting shit!
