jonasmst··on Show HN: A desktop fly drawn to the scent of vibecode
This is the best Show HN title I've seen on this page
jonasmst··on Show HN: I spent 2 years designing a mechanical Magic Keyboard
Clunky might have been the wrong word for it. Chunky? They're almost always too tall for my liking. I rest my palms on the desk while I type, I don't get how people do that with 20mm tall keyboards without straining their wrists. And I don't think people use mechanical keyboards for the switches themselves, but for the tactile typing experience the switches provide. Hence the appeal of this design: Mechanical, yet slim.
jonasmst··on Show HN: I spent 2 years designing a mechanical Magic Keyboard
I love it when people obsessively iterate over something seemingly trivial until it's exactly what they want. This looks amazing, congrats on the launch. I love mechanical keys, but I keep coming back to the Magic keyboard because mechanical keyboards are so clunky. I would order this in a heartbeat if it was available with a nordic layout
jonasmst··on Vehicle Motion Cues
Bit of a niche, but I use inverted colors and the camera app to find ticks on my dog. Enabled by triple-clicking the lock button under Settings -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Classic invert
jonasmst··on Patreon laying off 20% of staff
Wow, I follow his band on Instagram. Had no idea he was the CEO of patreon.
jonasmst··on Show HN: Web swing through midtown NYC
Haha this is fun, man, well done. As someone who's never been to NYC, how accurate is this, the buildings and streets?
jonasmst··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
Hey, this sounds like exactly what I've been looking for (household tracking of finances). FYI images are currently not loading on your webpage:)
jonasmst··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
That sample sounds great, and you run it locally? As in on-device or on a server?

Cool idea, man. Never heard of the Kokoro model, how's its English performance?
jonasmst··on The most livable cities
It might be rendered poorly at my end, but what's the idea behind the first chart? I'm not able to make sense of it. It seems to present the same thing (city liveability index) three times, and all the cities are just thrown on there in no particular order. Honolulu is even off the charts, which indicates that there's some intention of an axis somewhere, but I can't tell what it is. Edit: Ah, it was missing a world map rendered in the background. Now it makes sense.
jonasmst··on Show HN: I made a tool to create product tutorials
If this is a joke, it's pretty solid. If it's not, though, why not use a textframe to show them:D
jonasmst··on Dog Ownership and Survival
Usually, in survival analysis, it means that at any point in time, the likelihood of an event (e.g. death, heart-disease, whatever they're measuring) occurring for dog-owners is 76% of that of non-dog owners. The risk varies from time to time, e.g. with age, and it's 76% of that risk. If the risk at a certain point is 10% for non-dog owners, it's 7.6% for dog owners. It's not like dog people are immortal.
jonasmst··on Best Display for Programming? (2017)
You should try Slate (https://github.com/jigish/slate), it's great for window management once it's set up. I have hotkeys for positioning windows top-, bottom-, left-, and right halves, move windows to the right or left monitor and for displaying a grid that let you define the size and position of the current window by marking an area in the grid. It needs the Accessibility API, though, which may be an issue if your employer doesn't allow sudo access on their computers. Here's my dotfile: https://github.com/Jonasmst/dotfiles/blob/master/.slate
jonasmst··on Ask HN: Best things in your bash_profile/aliases?
For pretty-printing tabular data (tab- and comma-separated):

alias seetsv="column -s $'\t' -t"

alias seecsv="column -s ',' -t"

jonasmst··on Norwegian frigate sinking has far-reaching implications
Norwegian here. Indeed, "Krigsskipet gjør først en unnamanøver i siste liten", means "The war ship initially performs a last-minute evasive maneuver". Skimming this, I dismissed kidney robbery as some navy lingo I'm not familiar with, but it's a really bizarre error in translation.
jonasmst··on $200 retail whole genome sequencing now available
You can quite easily do stuff like mutation calling and differential gene expression analysis with subsequent gene set enrichment analysis for free on a standard computer. You'd need to know what you're doing of course, but in terms of costs, it's definitely manageable. That's if they provide you the raw data, though, which doesn't seem to be the case with a lot of providers.
jonasmst··on The oldest copper mines in Timna National Park date back to 4500BC
TLDR: Ancient underground copper mines
jonasmst··on Your load is too heavy: Zork deep reading
Off topic, but the way the mobile version of this site steals left- and right swipes makes a terrible UX.
