I've been automating many chores that i find myself usually doing with email: managing calendar invites, publishing and sharing calendars, but also want it to act like a proxy to avoid giving away my actual email in different services. It's a work in progress but I love cloudflare ai gateway, been using it to bring some ai into the functionalities. Future things: handling newsletters, more ai free use (?)

If you wanna test it, please ping me so I add your email to allowlist!

100% cheers

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

yeah scales have definitely been modified for theatrical (many landmarks) thank you!

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

thank you so much! yeah the data comes in many different ways! just here tfl is diff from national rails i've found llms super helpful tho

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

yeah the trains are meant to feel "underground" maybe the effect needs improving

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

Accuracy may vary, but it's great to see dreams come true!

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

tysm for the report ill have a look, tried some things to optimise for mobile, I'll check it more

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

There's planes by the airports too

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

I knew Victoria was fast but not so much! On a serious note it's meant to have a sense of being underground that maybe it's failing to convey. I'll check the line in more detail thanks.

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

Hat tip.

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

I'll have a note on this! Thanks a lot! a free form to browse the trains I think is definitely doable whilst keeping it performant

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

thanks! you mean more 3d buildings? I'd love to explore that or more labels on things along the way?

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

I meant to make it feel like the tube ones felt "underground" by some metres i'll have a look thanks

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

thanks! that's a great suggestion will implement

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

hehe thanks!

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

It's just following api data for now. That'd be a real cool feature for backlog!

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

<3 thanks!! i'll clean it and share here sometime soon

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

thanks for feedback i'll have a look!

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

I saw a project like that here in hn recently for all uk trains even. it'd be pretty cool to extend this to support that, busy stations might be visually confusing, thanks for suggestions

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

thank you! i'll have a look

mgranadoson Show HN: Follow London Trains in 3D

Ah yeah i tried anchoring to the train with a threshold for panning around i'll try smoothing it. thanks for trying it!

mgranadoson Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?

Not really a tool but converted a hobby swift app to a webUI animated showing mexico city and london when there's rain https://tlaloc.cloud/

The one tool i noticed could be helpful given the volume of screenshots i share with the agents is screenshotter: just a simple script that watches my screenshot folder and compresses the images so i can save some bandwidth and hopefully some tokens https://github.com/mgranados/screenshotter

mgranadoson Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)

Small iphone app to show the nearest tube station next train platforms in London mostly. Learning SwiftUI and just using TFL API.

mgranadoson Man spends entire career mastering crappy codebase

Finally something funny for once! thank you.

mgranadoson Ask HN: Has journaling improved your life?

it hasn't. but i think that has to do with how little i tend to read em. the couple times i have read some journals it has provided some useful insight. but that's it.

i journal in vim and push to git, 5y this year.
