Zakuzaa··on Show HN: Feed of random Wikipedia articles (mobile friendly)
Inspired from WikiScroll - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35673940
Zakuzaa··on Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?
I wanted to discover random locations, parks and cafes around my current location so I built this: https://randomlocation.xyz

p.s. there's a help file at https://randomlocation.xyz/help.txt

Zakuzaa··on Show HN: I created a feed of interesting content for myself
Nothing fancy. You can get the frontend code by checking the view-source. It's just html css js. Backend is very simple php script. It's just a cron that fetches data from hacknews API, reddit API and other few APIs.

Zakuzaa··on Show HN: Go to random locations, parks and restaurants around you
Oh, I will test it on my SO's iOS device and get back.
Zakuzaa··on Show HN: Go to random locations, parks and restaurants around you
I created this page for my own use and I have been using it for the last few months.

And it's been such a blast. It has taken me to places I would have never visited. It amazes me how much beauty around us we miss out on by not having enough randomness in our life. 20-30 sessions later, I am still discovering new parks and restaurants around me.

Try it?

-------------

Some tidbits:

- The page needs your location to suggest random locations around you

- No information is being saved at the backend. No cookies either.

- You can change the radius by adding ?d= parameter in url. For example https://randomlocation.xyz/?d=10 will suggest locations in 10 miles radius of your current location. Default is 2.5 miles.

- There is a "chained mode" which can be activated by adding c=1 to the url. By doing this, second location will calculated based on first location and third location will calculated based on second location, instead of all locations being calculated from the starting point

- There is a "hop mode" which can be activated by adding h=1 to the url. By doing this, you will be suggested a far off location in the first and then three nearby locations to that location. It's good for exploring nearby towns, villages or even countries. (h=100 will suggest first location within 100 miles)

- All modes can be clubbed if one wants

Caution: Please do not go to remote places alone. Be wise.

Good catch. I have removed jquery. Now fontawesome is the only outside file that's being called.

That T thing is for techmeme. That's the best icon I could find on fontawesome that resembled techmeme's icon.

Such blatant disregard to privacy of these Govt officials. I don't see why general public should have access to this data.

Zakuzaa··on Surfly - Surf together on the web
I do not quite understand, sorry. I am concerned about security.

Why am I allowed to login into say, Trello.com, while I am on surfly.com domain? Shouldn't my browser's cross-domain security policy prohibit this practice?

Is it all being done through a proxy? If so, is it not true that a lot of sites don't work over proxy?

[Edit] And if it is indeed proxy, doesn't that mean you can read my password(s) in clear text?

So how exactly do you handle sites that require logins?
Zakuzaa··on Would you use a service that manually converts articles into bullet points?
We understand that, and have kept that in mind while building the backend. We match up content items with summarizers based on interests and expertise. Additonally, every summary also goes through an editor/proofreader before it is is published.
Zakuzaa··on Would you use a service that manually converts articles into bullet points?
Yes crowdsouricing is involved.

Hired summarizers + Crowdsourcing (with a lot of scrutiny though)

Unless the app uses some iOS 7.0 specific API, it makes sense to support at least 6.xx considering 7.xx is just over a month old.
