"Chandra" [चन्द्र] is one of the Hindi/Sanskrit words for the Moon. Other examples are chaand and chandni.

"Yaan" [यान] means vehicle/coach.

I have two primary programs to handle this on a generic level across devices. It was important for me to be able to easily access everything from my phone or PC.

- Notion [1]

I use Notion to create notes, share thoughts, save links and resources, and write blog drafts. The focus here is to easily share them with my partners or publicly, if needed. Notion is extremely versatile and if I had to recommend an application, it would be this.

- Standard Notes [2]

I wanted a tool like Bear (for Mac) and this is the closest I could find. This is for personal use so I wanted something that would securely store my data. I use this for journaling and maintaining To-Do's.

To manage projects and keep track of how I've been progressing, I use Trello[3], cause it's one of the best kanban boards out there.

I cannot believe no one mentioned Music for Programming[0].

From their about page :

Through years of trial and error - skipping around internet radio stations, playing our entire music collections on shuffle, or just hammering single albums on repeat, we have found that the most effective music to aid prolonged periods of intense concentration tends to have a mixture of the following qualities:

- Drones

- Noise

- Fuzz

- Field recordings

- Vagueness (Hypnagogia)

- Textures without rhythm

- Minor complex chords

- Early music (Baroque, lute, harpsichord)

- Very few drums or vocals

- Synth arpeggios

- Awesome / daunting / foreboding

- Walls of reverb

Music possessing these qualities can often provide just the right amount of interest to occupy the parts of your brain that would otherwise be left free to wander and lead to distraction during your work.

I'm reminded of this Reddit post [0]. What a win for the community

You may have heard of Pieter Levels[0], the creator of Nomad List, RemoteOK and Hoodmaps. I'm assuming you are planning to learn more about how to make a startup. There are two core resources that I find very useful from his writings.

- He documented[1] how he build Hoodmaps[2] while streaming. He got a functional app built as soon as he could and built upon user feedback. You learn how he bootstrapped his way up and you realize how to do that.

- He wrote a book on how to bootstrap. That book[3] was made online while collaborating with others. It was sort of a community effort. I think it is very well written.

Any news on expanding yet beyond the EU and US? I'm in India and I would absolutely love this program.

Try flashing LineageOS on your phone. That should solve the Android issue. You can also choose not to use Google Apps after doing so.

Oh so nice to see someone else advocating the React+Firebase stack. That has been my go-to for a year now.

I don't know but do whatever is riskier and costlier first.

Look into University of London's degree[0] in CS. They allow you to take it from anywhere in the world.

I will strongly suggest freecodecamp as well. Try to complete it without looking for solutions on Stack.

Alternatively, if you're looking for employment and you're in the countries where Lambda School[0] operates, that's a really great option for you to explore.

The Flutter dev team are currently conducting a survey and a couple questions were regarding desktop mode so I reckon Hummingbird is coming pretty soon.

I was just thinking about our government in India earlier today and how the illiterate population play a role in sustaining a bad functioning government. My concern was mostly with the environment and how those in power seem to be doing nothing to fix what needs to be done urgently. I do not know how to explain the craze that the common people have for politics, but it is very active here. They get riled up very easily and this has let people who have the ability to trigger the thoughts of the masses into power. Very often, those who get into power do not join politics to bring change but only because they see how easy it is to be corrupt.

On the flip side, I think most of the modern generation has a better understanding of what needs to be done and where our priorities should be but it's gonna be a long time before those in power go away for good. But it might be too late by then, and I'm afraid we'll be stuck in this cycle.

Someone who works for GMail or Google has already read this HN post. I don't expect it to work for much longer unless OP has found a loophole.

Can you tell me what how a better platform would function?

I used to freelance on Upwork but I can't think of a better system.

Hi, I'm a younger version of you. I'm in the early stages of my career where I'm currently trying to build whatever I think will be useful to people. But I'm afraid a portfolio of projects might only demonstrate my technical skills.

How do I practically showcase that I am much more valuable as a person that understands a variety of roles and am able to unify them into a cohesive direction?

Also, what advice would you give to a 23 year old version of you?

Windows has a wonderful application called Bulk Crap Uninstaller, also better known as BC Uninstaller.

It has an amazing feature to 'silently' uninstall a set of applications on your system. After which it also checks for any files that might have stayed back in the system and deletes them all.

I just hope we get a similar alternative for Android, but I have a hunch such an application might already exist on F-droid.

Also mention more about the themes and the level of customization I can do on my blog. That would be super helpful. Keep up the good work, you awesome creator.

Hello, I'm from India and I am really looking forward to this opportunity. I wish I could explain how excited I was to find out about your program. As someone from a low-income family who decided to teach himself because college was too expensive, you must realize what an amazing chance your school is to better our lives. Keep up the good work.

Meanwhile, I'll just continue learning on my own.

I read a lot of PDFs on my phone and I have enough tools to help me read so I am not sure how many people would find another tool useful unless there is an added advantage you can find to provide.

I would suggest you to not worry about if people want it, but just make it for your own learning growth. All the best!

I cannot thank you enough for introducing Lambda School to me.

Nevermind; International students can't get the same offer to pay off the tuition after getting a job.

I didn't apply and I've not been selected because I was moving but I would love to connect with everyone here.

Exposure. YC is great because of the opportunities.

But I do understand your point. I would definitely be focusing more on just making my product if I had any funding.

Frontend - ReactJS

Backend - Google Firebase

Hey Pranav,

I started learning web dev about a year back. I was right where you are and I will try to shed some light on what I finally landed on.

Frontend- ReactJS

Backend - Google Firebase

React is amazingly simple to learn. You just need to know some HTML, CSS and JS as a base. Google Firebase is probably one of the greatest things ever made. As a beginner, it helped me do things in days that would have taken me weeks.

This stack took me months to find and I'm so glad I did. I can even code and deploy static sites in minutes.

I just want to say that IRC is still pretty much alive and kicking. Come back, it's still as fun as it was.

- Philosophy Bites

- Radiolab

I quit all social media and that included WhatsApp, about a year and a half back. Everyone is fine with me leaving social sites but how dare I leave WhatsApp? They look at me weird for that.

Surprisingly though, Signal is slowly gaining popularity among the smarter crowds.

I'm quite excited about using blockchain for music licensing. A quick Google search shows that there quite a few that do that.
