parondeaon Show HN: Podcast API

Love seeing development in the podcast space. One specific problem I've been wanting solved for a long while is difficulty with sharing podcasts with friends across podcast apps. If you're not using the same podcast app as your friend, it's always a pain to manually search and find the podcast in your own app. I'd love a universal podcast url, something like `podcast://<podcast_url>` that individual podcast apps can understand, which links you to the podcast within your desired app, similar to the "default browser" behaviour on mobile and desktop. Has anyone come across something like this?

parondeaon Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?

I've been building a simple time tracking app. I wanted to learn Next.js, React, TailwindCSS more thoroughly so took this opportunity to build a website I actually wanted to use. I found all the existing time trackings apps to be so bloated with features like invoicing, billing, teams, etc. I wanted something for myself to be able to keep track of how long I was spending at work and on various tasks.

I'd love any feedback!

parondeaon Show HN: Telehealth-Tracker – built to help my wife with her new workload

Woah, super cool project! I just finishing building a project [1] that is super similar, but for me it was to learn React and Next.js! Love the simplicity. I had searched for a simple time tracker for my own projects and used just about all of the ones of the first page of the Google search results but found every single one of them bloated with features I did not need (billing, accounting, team support etc).

parondeaon How Firebase Interviewed Software Engineers

Google released a Code Review guide which I find extremely useful [1].

parondeaon Psychedelic Mushrooms Are Closer to Medicinal Use

I just finished the book and would recommend it to those who are interested in the long history of psychedelic research and the future of it. However, I think most of what I took from the book can be captured on the few podcasts he's been interviewed on. Specifically his chats with Tyler Cowen [1] and Kevin Rose [2] were particularly interesting.

I'd definitely recommend his short stories, Metamorphosis and The Judgement. I also really enjoyed the novel, The Trial.
