Absolutely loved that the intensity of the music is synced with the swiping. Fantastic job as always!

https://github.com/zigbook/zigbook/pull/45#issuecomment-3592... Would this be grounds to report zigbook to GitHub maybe? This is wild
your other PR made me laugh: https://github.com/zigbook/zigbook/pull/46 absolutely wild that they had the gall to report you, lol

I’ve built a script to filter out these and other negative articles and show a more upbeat hacker news. Let me know if you want a copy.
Yes please!

I've been actually kind-of enjoying using Jules as a way of "coding" my side project (a react native app) using my phone.
I have very limited spare time these days, but sometimes on my walk to work I can think of an idea/feature, plan out what I want it to do (and sometimes use the github app to revise the existing code), then send out a few jobs. By the time I get home in the evening I've got a few PRs to review. Most of the code is useless to me, but it usually runs, and means I can jump straight into testing out the idea before going back and writing it properly myself.
Next step is to add automatic builds to each PR, so that on the way home I can just check out the different branches on my phone instead of waiting to be home to run the ios simulator :D
This sounds great! My partner and I also spend a lot of time just scrolling around the Swiss hiking maps looking for potential routes. I had an idea for better filters (e.g. roundtrip hikes with >1000m elevation <2h by transit) and got as far as displaying hiking and transit data. Are you looking for testers? :)
Absolutely! Send me an email. Address in my profile
I'm making a kind of "Tinder for hiking trails".
I live in Switzerland and am (like many people here) an avid hiker. There are a lot of great hiking websites but they all suffer from the same problem: They are ultimately just a list of hiking routes that you need to plan around. Because I do a hike almost every week, the extra planning has become an overhead that takes time out of my life: how far away is it, what train should I take, whats the weather situation like, do I need to bring snowshoes, etc. The 65,000km of trails in this country also gives me decision paralysis!
So I'm building an app (React native/django) which takes a users current situation and preferences and then algorithmically suggests a few best options for them that they can quickly give a yes/no to. It's integrated with a lot of data like the train timetables, snow data, weather forecast etc.
I was able to reduce an hour of planning down to 5 minutes last week, so it's definitely working for me. What I am currently trying to do is figure out if other people have this problem and there's interest in the app concept.

Congrats on the launch! How did you find the experience of developing a PWA as opposed to going the native app route?
When Docker went hard on subscriptions, my company pivoted to Rancher Desktop as the replacement.
I can't stress enough how much I dislike Rancher. I know we moved to it as a cost saving measure as I am assuming we would have to buy subs for Docker.
Yet there is nothing I found easier to use than Docker proper. Rancher has a Docker compatible mode and it falls down in various ways.
Now that this has happened, I wonder if Rancher is pulling by default from the Docker Hub registry, in which case now we'll need to setup our own registry for images we use, keep them up to date etc. Which feels like it would be more costly than paying up to Docker to begin with.
All this makes me almost miss Vagrant boxes.
Can you elaborate a little on what you don't like about Rancher?
Have been looking at moving my org over to it (30 engineers), seems quite nice so far - built-in in k3s is great and it works well on my macbook
- Currently in free Early Access with 18 competitive mini-games.
- Players use their mobile phones as controllers (you can use game pads as well!)
- Everything is completely web-based, no downloads or installs are necessary to play
- All games support up to 8 players at a time and are action based, with quick ~one minute rounds to keep a good pace. This means there are no language based trivia or asynchronous games!
- In the future we plan to open up the platform for 3rd party developers (and Gamejams!) as well. We take care of the network connectivity, controllers etc.. 3rd party devs can focus on developing cool multiplayer mini-games without spending an eternity with networking code and building the infrastructure.
Interested to hear if this resonates with Hacker News readers!
