Tau Zero, by Poul Anderson. Love it so far——does anyone know how scientifically accurate it might be?

Who's starting a monthly HN: Book Club?

Mostly just proud of my domain: https://arv.in

Working on a Rails FSRS app, similar focus on healthy defaults, trying to find the 80/20 of what Anki does today: https://cadence.cards, free side project.

Figma plug-in, using three.js—fun to play with.

I’m solo-building a free Anki alternative using the Ruby FSRS gem: http://cadence.cards/welcome

Would love any feedback—I’m aiming for a more focused, restful take on what I like most about Anki. Styling is done with Tailwind.

For Ruby folks — I’ve forked the FSRS gem to fix an issue where new cards were being spaced 60 days apart instead of 60 seconds:

Originally adapted from the Python version linked here.

Really glad to see official support for Ruby. It’s still my default language—the one I reach for first, and the one I move fastest in. Ruby still reads like a thought to me. Glad to see others recognizing that too.

I'm not calling out engineer's—not my intention. Incentives not matching is real, cognitive overload is real. But I see domain modeling as a collaboration tool, not as an extra step or critique. I feel it's a common language and a steady foundation for all product partners to work from.

I have my first Swift/SwiftUI app up on TestFlight! I've always been slightly irked by how Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Yelp manage bookmarking places, so I'm creating a to-do list app that pulls from MapKit and automatically organizes your saved places by neighborhood and city for easy retrieval and in-the-moment decision-making.

Curious, what are the best animations or transitions you've already come across on the web?

Title should read: Dear Codecademy, Lobster is the new Comic Sans.

Thank you, we love what we do, and we can't wait to keep doing it. And it really is about the community, that's one of the biggest reasons why so many of us are choosing to move to Chicago.

There are some really cool resources to learn on the web, but nothing beats hands-on, especially for beginner coders like myself. From personal experience, Code Academy excels at being the place you go to learn, to bounce ideas/questions, and a place where the progress you make dictates the flow of class. Online resources are static, they can't flex to your needs, and really when there's no community right there on tap, it's too easy to fall off.
