y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
This is a really good use case. Maybe there _is_ some "market"* for an app like this.

*: Market as in people who may find it useful, not market as in "I would monetize it", screw that.

y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
Same! Learning that this PWA is "barely useful" on mobile because the lack of background API support sucks :(
y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
This sounds cool, I'll add the small fixes other users recommended me and then ask relatives to use it.
y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
I wholeheartedly agree, it's been the most difficult part to do for me.
y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
I have added the icons in the `manifest.json` file but as you said the are still not showing up, will fix this up later today.

Thank you.

y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
Hahaha, thank you for "quoting the full name".

It's mostly a "toy app / learning experience" at this point, but I'm glad it may provide even the tiniest bit of value to others.

Sadly on mobile seems to be fairly useless due the OS killing the worker, but I'll try to wrap it in a native app.

y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
Yeah, I've got a bit of feedback about it, will remove.

Thanks!

y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
What a great suggestion, and you even made a mockup! That's so considerate of you, thank you so much.

I'll try to implement these UI changes tonight.

y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
I knew I wasn't alone!

:fist-bump:

y3k··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
Yes! I noticed this too, I really want to go with the PWA / open approach, however after a bit more research it looks like the PWA would be barely usable on mobile without their "closed APIs" a native app has :/

Will research what is the thinnest "wrapper" I can use to avoid maintaining 3 different apps.

y3k··on All you may need is HTML
SSI is supported by "old battle tested" servers like Apache or Nginx, there's a "new guy on the block" that I find quite promissing: Caddy[0] however it doesn't support SSI, instead they have some built-in template engine that is a bit more powerful than old SSI but can achieve the same result.

100% agree, nowadays for static websites the only thing you need to pay is your domain, if that matters to you.
y3k··on All you may need is HTML
I never released a production website with SSI before, but I found it when I was searching for a more bare-metal approach to make websites; then I found Caddy's template engine and it's been more than enough for what I need.
y3k··on All you may need is HTML
HTML + CSS for whitespacing & viewport width + SSI | Caddy's template

That combo is more than enough for almost all the websites out there, I've 3 different sites like that and they are blazingly fast, everything served from a $4 VPS (serving about 20k views per week).

y3k··on Ask HN: Any good FOSS solutions to organize the family albums?
I didn't know about this software, I'm currently giving it a shot, I have a tiny bit less than 20k pictures and seems to be working great.

Thank you for the amazing suggestion!

I know, but may be worthy to give Matrix a shot.

y3k··on Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index
I'm not "smart enough" to calculate that acurately, but if the "cost per transaction" is high enough to get a couple of articles written about it, I won't participate into that.

I'm more worried about humanity having a future.

y3k··on Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index
One of the main reasons why I dropped BTC.

"Getting rich" at cost of the environment (extremely high resource consumption)? No thanks, I'd rather leave that world for future generations.

y3k··on Ask HN: Password manager with best experience on Linux?
I didn't know about this one, but looks perfect.

Thank you.

y3k··on Ask HK: How to get “production level” experience with a new technology
Oh well, there it goes...

It's a bummer TBH, I'd need to take a big pay cut to work there.

Thanks for the information.

y3k··on Ask HK: How to get “production level” experience with a new technology
Where I work at the moment doesn't have a single Ruby application, and it's "corporate enough" that introduce one would be pretty hard-ish.

I can give it a shot with personal projects, but still I don't think it'd be enough experience.

y3k··on Ask HK: How to get “production level” experience with a new technology
I like the idea that they are "remote focused" and the quality of their product.

I'm not "married" with the idea of working there, as a matter of fact I'm already on the interview process with another company (remote too).

y3k··on Ask HN: I'm just a programmer worried about climate change, how can I help?
Already got one, not planning any more.
y3k··on Ask HN: I'm just a programmer worried about climate change, how can I help?
Would love to work there, I don't think I've either the expertise or the contacts to get a job there.
y3k··on Ask HN: I'm just a programmer worried about climate change, how can I help?
Already trying to do that.

However, I want to be more proactive against the climate change, got tired of just do my best to improve my emissions, I want to actually help to fix what we have done.

y3k··on Ask HN: I'm just a programmer worried about climate change, how can I help?
I would love to do that. I'm probably not experienced enough to find a work on it though.

But it's something that I will research for sure.

y3k··on Ask HN: I'm just a programmer worried about climate change, how can I help?
That sounds ideal.

Any suggestion about where to start looking at? Sadly in my current location neither goverment nor companies have too much interest on going green.
