I’m using https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api which exposes a REST Api

ubergesundheiton Displaying My Washing Machine's Remaining Time with Curl, Jq, and Pizauth

I've done a similar thing with a "dumb" washing machine using a Arduino with an attached LDR (light-dependent resistor) taped to the "door open" LED.

The Arduino sends the value of the LDR over serial port to a laptop which sends changes to the "door open" over Signal to my phone

ubergesundheiton Show HN: Weather API for non-commercial use

Very nice! Thank you for posting this.

I run a cronjob which sends me the forecast for the next day based on german weather service MOSMIX forecasts. I am using https://brightsky.dev for this, which makes the clunky xml files of MOSMIX available as a http api.

I’ll definitely check out open-meteo

ubergesundheiton Show HN: 8chen – A New Hacker News Client for iOS

Looks great, is fast and feels good so far.

There is one nitpick I have: The usual iOS swipe from left to go back is not working on iPhone SE (iOS 11.2)

ubergesundheiton A proof of concept MongoDB clone built on Postgres

Interesting experiment! How does it compare in performance, cpu and memory footprint?

ubergesundheiton Show HN: End-to-End Encrypted Cloud Storage. All Open Source

Nice!

Since your imprint states you have your offices in Germany, I presume you are also hosting in Germany? What providers do you use?

ubergesundheiton Another.cat

Nice work! Does it have an API like thecatapi.com?

ubergesundheiton Unofficial WhatsApp API

Which was IMHO the first of its kind.

ubergesundheiton Dear USA, my data has left your building
