During the day I run Facebook ads for an apparel brand. On nights & weekends I'm trying to automate my job: https://www.staticads.ai/ :)

>"The best thing I did was become the shameless type of person who actively tries to create/join/combine social circles. It pretty quickly put me in touch with other people who do the same, and my social circle grew naturally after that."
Any advice? That's a hard thing to do!
Check out this book called The 2 Hour Cocktail Party. I used it as structure to host a small get together last week and it was a lot fun!
I think as other comments allude to scheduling can be really hard so its a good idea to start sending out invitations 2-3 weeks in advance. Also don't be afraid to invite old friends - I reconnected with some friends I haven't talked to in 7+ years and it was great
radihuq commented on Ask HN: How to come up with ideas for micro side projects? · Posted by u/itwontbelong
I'm working on a project where I launch something every week this year. Here's my process:
* Create a notepad in your phone and throw any and all ideas in there whenever they come up
* Choose one to work on this weekend - whichever excites you the most
* When working on the project, be careful of scope creep. Accept your project will do one thing, and one thing only. Also accept your project will probably be crap - that's ok, you just need to something to start with so you can begin building on top of it next weekend
* Start with technology you're very comfortable with - whatever that may be. Then learn whatever else you need to learn as you work on the project
* Reuse code from past projects
* Force yourself to launch by the end of the weekend. This restraint will force you to be creative with your approach to building, and launching is always a great morale boost
radihuq commented on Show HN: Lock your event pictures behind a feedback form herearethepics.com/... · Posted by u/radihuq
This is the kind of thing that I hate when companies do to me. I wish you wouldn't make it easier to do.
feedback is really important because:
* it helps event planners improve their events
* gives event planners data points to attract more/higher quality sponsors
Imagine what your local dev meetup organizers could do if they had more funding (free arduinos? Fly out Woz? Hand out AWS credits?)
I designed the feedback form to be completeable in under 15 seconds, while giving good data to event planners. You don’t even need to provide your name. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for an event planner to ask 3 questions in order to provide some photos - photos you can use to build your personal brand, post on dating sites, cherish as memories, etc.
I think it’s a win-win situation for everyone
I'm going to build & launch a new project every week - https://www.radihuq.com/52

Absolutely nothing, and proud of it. This is not a week for getting things done.
Neat little idea though. Very cute.
Haha yeah happy holidays, and thank you :)

I created this project over the weekend, inspired by the infamous leaked text exchange[0] between Elon and Parag.
https://www.whatdidyougetdonethisweek.net/
You can text updates on things you get done throughout the week, and then generate a (.PNG) text conversation with Elon Musk stating what you got done
Just a fun project, feel free to poke around!
