jm666··on Show HN: Kraa.io – Markdown editor for notes, blogs, chats
Thanks. I'd say: simple access control (== easy to invite friends, publish as blog, password-protect), flexible document structure & roles (todos, notes, chat, image board, ...), pretty great image gallery, visual styling separated from content (cleaner UX).

Thx, will fix!
jm666··on Show HN: Kraa.io – Markdown editor for notes, blogs, chats
Thank You too; I understand, I'm a long time vi & ripgrep user and honestly do not like wysiwyg editors too much; most of my private notes are still rsynced plaintext.

For me, the valuable usecases for kraa are: small notes shared accross devices/people (desktop/phone, family todos), pw-protected gallery for family, and the possibility to turn a note into a BS-free nice blog post super easily. The BS-free aspect is important, but it also means we will be compromising on features (compared to notion/wp/..).

EDIT (adding):

Also, as for the desktop application storing files localy - we do not plan that now, it is too much of a stretch from colab web app :-) We will however probably support localStorage offline mode & p2p / encrypted documents, but that is still something else.

Kind regards!

It is a collaborative document, saved live in a same way as google docs (with offline local support coming, if You are out of cell). The benefit is to have a simple way to create colab documents, with invite logic, which can be used for different purposes seamlessly - private notes, shared todo-lists, password protected gallery, read-only blog post, chat.

We will have markdown / keep / ... import of the notes, a bit later, but that is not probably what You meant with file uploads. The front-page navigation needs care, thx for feedback.

Thx. Documents have access control (so you can control who can see the docs / who can collaborate; private by default) and we are responsible, but the content is not end-to-end encrypted if that is what You are asking; we plan to introduce p2p documents and end-to-end encrypted stuff in time.
jm666··on Show HN: Kraa.io – Markdown editor for notes, blogs, chats
Yes, the collaboration & publishing usecases need that; also simpler. We have private (end-to-end encrypted) and p2p documents in the backlog tho.
jm666··on Show HN: Minimal note-taking app
Will stay up forever :-)

The usecase is basically quick & bullshit-free sharing of text stuff/links/notes, also realtime, lockable & with fixed url.

Personally, I use it to have my own public scratchboard, to share links w friends.

jm666··on Show HN: AI Horoscope – GPT3 horoscope app [Android]
Hello HN, I wanted to see what it takes to make GPT3 model into production (== having consistently good automated results, rather than cherry-picking best completions). Horoscopes seemed like a simple usecase, where it is a good validation to see that AI can generate human-level texts (BS).

wdyt?

jm666··on Show HN: NoteFinder Ear Training – Learn notes of various scales [Android]
Hello HN!

NoteFinder is an ear training app, where the exercise is to guess a tone from various scales.

The inspiration for this has been a similarly named exercise in Yousician app, where I thought that the exercise is some fun, but with very little features / variability. Moreover, I could not find any other app that would do something similar and have the features I like (onscreen piano keyboard, variability in scales & keys, nice statistics), so I decided to build it myself.

I am submitting to ShowHN to check whether it is fun / useful for others as well, so any feedback is greatly welcome.

jm666··on Wim Hof’s teachings about breath work and the health benefits of cold plunges
Effects of Wim Hof method are very much backed by rigorous scientific studies, see e.g. this is a good overview of the papers, or read them yourself.

https://scienceofparkinsons.com/2020/02/06/wim-hof/

My conclusion is that some effects are very real, according to best available science. But You have to filter that from Wim Hof's persona & explanation style, which to me often feels very hand-wavy & daresay sometimes even esoteric & his explanations/rationalisations are sometimes clearly off. (e.g. he often says that the breathwork/hyperventilation increases amount of oxygen delivered to cells, while in reality it is the opposite due to Bohr effect). But he imo definitely is onto something with the practice.

jm666··on Wim Hof’s teachings about breath work and the health benefits of cold plunges
Imo highly individual. In my practice, I've observed inflammation in my heel decrease in scale of a few weeks (my heel used to be inflamed after every run for a few days, with me unable to recover from 2 weekly runs of ~ 6km; after 2-3 week started to improve, now - 2 mo later - it is completely healed, can run 4-5 times a week, and bottleneck is now something else). The second effect I observe is my decreased fear of cold shower & improved ability to handle it (both psychologically and physically).
jm666··on Tanzania becomes the latest country to use Zipline drones for medical deliveries
According to zipline website [0], there will be 4 stations, Mwanza, Geita, Mbeya and Dodoma. Looking on maps, Geita and Mwanza are really close to each other, moreover looks like at least third of potentially covered land around Mwanza is water. Wonder what is the reason behind this.

These jokes are getting rather sophisticated. For a few (head-scratching) minutes, I thought this was meant seriously.
