Thing is, Apple's not really interested in you using your phone LESS, so they don't really have an incentive to make it easier for you.

Site's nice, it's a simple idea with a simple solution.

Some feedback if you want:

- You're overdoing it with the shadows. Simple flat design looks cleaner

- A little too many colors, that are not really aligned with each other. If you're not a designer, check out Tailwind colors and pick 1-2 you like that work complementary. Only use those and white/black/grey.

- For further reading on color picking, read up about the 60/30/10 rule in color design

- Since you've built your site with react, you could think about adding some simple animations (for example, when the books are switched on "next-book" button) by using Framer Motion. This is an opinionated thing from me.

Cool project, good start in the indie hacking community :) Keep doing cool stuff. If you wanna connect, find me on Twitter: @icebearlabs

Seconding this. OP turn the links into affiliates. Get paid for the work that you're doing, only fair.

The search seems to be very overwhelmed by traffic. I tried to find my own podcast "Code & Conquer - The Indie Hacker Podcast" but it doesn't show up. Or it showed up once, but I couldn't interact with the element? Not sure what I'm supposed to do after it found the podcast I'm looking for. The + button doesn't do anything.

Went up to $60 and then went bankrupt. Reminded me of why I don't play gambling games.

Adding to this:

First thing should not be finding out what what your customers want.

First thing should be finding out IF THERE EVEN ARE CUSTOMERS for your product.

A product idea that doesn't have any market won't be successful. So find out if there are people who have a problem that can be solved, then try to solve that problem. Additionally the problem has to be annoying enough so people are willing to pay to make it go away. If you have those two, it's a great start.

You are aware, that we are on of those endangered species' when we don't change anything about climate change?

Hello Hackernews!

My name is Tobias and I’m excited to introduce my new Notion template: "The Software Development Health Check".

This template is a systematic approach to analyzing and improving your team's happiness, and mental health, as well as reduce stress levels.

> Why I came up with it

As a developer with 10+ years of experience, I have worked with all kinds of project managers, product owners, designers, business experts and of course other developers. While on that journey, I’ve always tried to see what works well for the dev teams and what does not. I have also done sparring and coaching for other developers and have noted what they struggle most with in their environments and with their colleagues.

All of this information, I tried to compile in this template. I have also “beta-tested” the template with other lead and senior developers to see what they had to add to my list and questions to ask. The result is a really solid template to find issues within your team and how to improve them.

In the end, I wanted to create a template, that helps team leads, project managers and lead devs to create a more fun working environment.

> Here's what you'll find inside

- A structured way to approach your teams current state and what questions to ask - Multiple tests you can take, to find out what’s going right, what could be improved and what you can add to your process - Suggestions on what to do to get the team to a better place

I built this template with my experience of 10+ years in large development teams. Added to that are dozens of discussions I had with other lead or senior developers to include their viewpoint as well.

As I continue to improve the template over time, I will release new free templates that you can add to this base template to add even more functionality. Stay up to date by following me either on Twitter [1] or on Gumroad [2]. I’ll message you when I have new freebies!

I would love to hear your feedback on it!

Thank you

Not when you use a stolen CC lel

Does she defend the claim, that she really saw a snow leopard in the mountains in the full article / website text?

Edit: Read the disclaimer myself. She seems to defent seeing a snow leopard, as she also has a picture of its paw up in the same collection. Make of that, as you will.

Hey, thanks for checking it out :)

So, I go deeper into this in the actual template, but you're not supposed to check ALL of the boxes in ALL scenarios. This is not meant as a test, but rather a checklist, hence I changed the name from test to checklist after the first draft.

So for some things, your team, your company etc. will differ from me and my questions. Which is absolutely fine! This doesn't want to be a dogma and different things work for different people. I HAVE talked to more enterprisey devs, but have also worked myself in both environments. I hope both kinds of people can benefit from it in the end :)

Hey, your tool is not working great with german articles. It can't pronounce Umlauts and also has trouble with some pretty standard simple words.

I used this article as a test: https://www.saarbruecker-zeitung.de/saarland/landespolitik/s...

Why would European countries extradite american criminals to the US? Because we established a trust in each other and want to keep it that way for both sides benefits.

If the company doesn't do any business in Europe it has no users in Europe, therefore it doesn't have to comply with the GDRP at all.

You don't have to have a presence established in the EU to be under EU jurisdiction. Any european user makes you responsible to ensure GDPR rules for that user.

So even if Discord had no presence in the entire EU, no office, no worker, no nothing, it doesn't absolve the company from staying within GDPR rules for their european users.

Only way to get out of that problem is to block any user with a european IP, although even then you could have users using a VPN, not sure how this would handle before the law.

Which will probably, outside of small, perfectly planned experiments, work similarly well

export const ButtonComponent; FunctionComponent no Github no semicolon i meant colon Github backspace 5 times no backspace delete delete Github Arrrgh goddammit

Yeah the result is pretty much "Never stop moving, always do sports." as if nobody knew that that is something we should probably all do.

One small thing: You let me preview the cool bookshelf wallpaper, but then I can't click on it to immediately get that one. I scrolled through the first two pages of wallpapers, not able to find it. Would be a cool addition to just be able to click the wallpaper that is currently on preview at the top.

The stock component is missing an error message, when it can't find a stock. I entered "MSCI World" and it just kept loading and loading.

My last fews doctors visits at my German GP doctor have taken me 25 calls or more to get to a person. This is a practice of two doctors, not a huge house. I think Covid has done a number to those telephone systems, especially since you can only get vaccinated and PCR-tested through gp's now for the most part.

I'd love to know if they are aware how bad it really is. You're sick and want to just stay in bed, but need to see them to check up on you. And then you lie there and call them 25 times on repeat until finally, maybe, someone picks up.

This is like the definition of "old man yells at cloud".

It was a complete and utter waste of time to apply and go through the process. I didn't know any better when I just started as a freelancer. Would never do a process like this again.

No problem :) For UK I have also made some nice experience with "Spinks", which is a UK based recruiter. I didn't have a project with them and the pay was more like B+, but the recruiters were nice and the projects sounded interesting. Might be worth a call.

Toptal is trash if you're in the US or in EU. They have shit hourly rates and you compete against developers from anywhere in the world, so you can't ever match the rates they are throwing in.

If you are in the EU, check out Freelancermap, Austin Fraser, Hays, Malt, Darwin Recruitment, Upper.co (for less pay, but startup work).

I think one thing which is restricting your search is your tech stack. I'd honestly concentrate on finding something for Go, as I think you'll have the easiest time with that. You can try https://www.golangprojects.com/ and https://golang.cafe/ for that.

I also feel like this is the actual use case of Vite. Don't want anything else but be able to roll a static site together, while using some vanilla html, css and js with a few assets attached.

Just tried it, it's still shot. But fun tool if it's not run over by HN.

Aaaaaand it's gone.

> telling them to do nothing in particular

Nobody told them anything close to that. Any research towards basic income tells us that people continue working close to as much as before. So this seems like a really unnecessary combative comment.

Regarding minimum wage workers, one thing can be bad, while the other is also bad. So not really an argument.

Pretty much as you described it. And you can't blame these guys for one second. Who would pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for upkeep without getting any revenue from it.

Kinda sad that OSS and "community-friendly" projects like these mostly end up like this or bought and monetized. But it's totally understandable.
