catchmeifyoucan··on A Local-First Case Study
Great write-up, I've been looking for a solution like this for adding syncing to my local-app!

I love that it's document stored in S3, and it's probably going to be way cheaper than if hosted elsewhere in a database. Can't wait to try it out soon

catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: Universal Logger for Node, Deno, Bun, Browser
Hey, cool project! Will have to try it out next time.

Some design feedback on the site:

> Universal By Nature

The contrast ratio on the headers is really hard to read. I skipped the hero section and began reading at where it said:

> which means it can be executed on the server side or the browser side without any extra considerations. Use it anywhere!

And I totally missed it's a logging library - I was expecting to see a new web framework. My preference would be to put the Simple, Chainable API section before.

But the problem is I still need two devices
catchmeifyoucan··on Boox Palma Review: A Phone-Sized E-Ink Android Device That Isn't a Phone
I've been using the Palma and had the exact same experience as the reviewer. It's pretty great as a bedside device.

If it had a sim card slot, I'd drop my phone and move to the Palma as my primary device

This looks great! I love the Cragislist like UI for this!
catchmeifyoucan··on Launch HN: Airhart Aeronautics (YC S22) – A modern personal airplane
I got my PPL a while ago, and I'm super excited about this! Though, I'm mostly a renter, so I may not be of much support to purchase at $500,000.

This would be quite the upgrade from a 1980's Cessna.

I guess we'll have to wait for the new standards, but things like learning about the engine, stall recovery and crosswinds are a pretty major part of aviation training. Though the plane can do these things, I'm not sure how much training will be abstracted away (since it's a generic curriculum and we can fly most ASEL).

Few questions:

1. Does the flight controller have a back-up?

2. What does the override for controlling rudder and aileron look like. How about spin recovery or taxing with headwinds?

3. Would you sell your avionics set-up so I can retrofit and replace a Garmin System. I've always found Garmin's to be tricky and hard to read. Yours looks waay better

4. Love the Live ATC transcriptions

Best of luck! Hoping I get to fly one of these some day.

catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: Storyboarder (script to shotlist in minutes, with AI)
This seems super cool!

It would be helpful if there was a pre-filled demo template (e.g. see demo button), so I can explore how the results would look like.

The home-page just shows a loading screen for me

catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: What Beats Rock – AI Rock Paper Scissors
This is fun! There should be a way to "appeal" an answer so we can keep going
catchmeifyoucan··on Creating My Own Linux-Based Smart TV
This is cool!

I'm wondering how you change the input port (e.g. PS5), guessing you jump back to the Samsung OS in those cases?

catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: Free Online Note Taker
Love it!

I'd love the ability to share a note via url.

catchmeifyoucan··on Many people don't pay full price, most don't want to pay at all for news
Here's what I can think of for why not:

- Hard to predict/forecast recurring revenue (though it's additional revenue)

- Incentivizes click baiting for readers

- Requires setting up a "non-standard" billing system

catchmeifyoucan··on Many people don't pay full price, most don't want to pay at all for news
Agreed - pre-pay. I'd pay $5-10 easy and let it run out slowly over time
catchmeifyoucan··on Many people don't pay full price, most don't want to pay at all for news
I wish there was a pay-as-you-read plan (e.g. 10c an article) for news. I just don't spend enough time on one news source to justify a subscription cost
catchmeifyoucan··on Book people think they know why 9-year-olds stop reading for fun
Growing up - we had a lot of programs externally to encourage us to read. I wonder if kids still have the same kind of things

For example, we had things like a Six Flags reading program, Pizza Hut Book It for free pizza, and hand picked Texas Bluebonnet Books. We also had book fairs.

catchmeifyoucan··on How I Search in 2024
Whoa, I just tried Marginalia, and it reminded me of how search used to work years before. It was quite pleasant.

https://search.marginalia.nu/

It's nice to see new domains in the top list

catchmeifyoucan··on Tesla Model 3 Traps TikToker Inside 115-Degree Car During a Software Update
The title seems misleading. It says she was trapped, but it seems like she chose to stay in the car.
catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: Node as WASM module, fullstack on a static page. Webdev is pretty wild
This is kind of fast. Is there any way I can add more modules to this? Or run it on a github repo?
catchmeifyoucan··on FAA Aviation Maps
Was just about to add SkyVector. It's great for getting avi weather at a glimpse
catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: A Community for Indie Tech Blogs
This is a cool idea!

A piece of feedback is to make the commenting UI like google docs on the side.

catchmeifyoucan··on The "Cash Cow" model for selling apps
Part 2 of the article after 3 years: https://drewmccormack.medium.com/cash-cow-revisited-4c2185e2...

Actual product: https://agenda.com

catchmeifyoucan··on Just paying Figma because nothing else works
For diagrams, Excalidraw (https://excalidraw.com) is my favorite by a lot. Pretty low learning curve and you can use it as a single-player as many times (you'll have to export the older file)
catchmeifyoucan··on You're not lacking creativity, you're overwhelmed
I agree with the title, but I wish the solution was less about a second brain and more about giving ourselves space.

The past week I've been getting burned in meetings, and just a whole lot of "to-do". And I'm just not as creative anymore because I don't have the room to be bored and ponder (which I like)

catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: The Class Placements Game
This was good marketing! Gave up after 7 minutes. One feedback is to make the red cards with either a thicker border, or lighten the shade of red so it's a little easier to see
catchmeifyoucan··on Starting design work in a spreadsheet
Oh I missed that, thanks!
catchmeifyoucan··on Starting design work in a spreadsheet
Interesting article. I think a big challenge here is crunching the data.

I was looking to see if this scraping is a Sheets feature or something, but it's not clear if the author manually visited all of these pages and extracted all the headers.

catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: Project S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. – open-source, self hosted, J.A.R.V.I.S.
Just wondering if there is a video or demo, or anything so we can see it before going through and trying it out? It seems super cool
catchmeifyoucan··on Show HN: Rotaboxes – 7 months after launch update
+1 on fun game that's relaxing. Felt kind of soothing. The rotation of the tree in the corner frustrated me a little at the end because it all looked super similar.
catchmeifyoucan··on GitHub code search is generally available
Ooh nice, this looks great! Thanks!!
catchmeifyoucan··on GitHub code search is generally available
Loving the new Code Search! Might be super specific, but is there any syntax for searching attributes in HTML elements. For example if a React Component called <Button ...some-props color="red" /> what's the best way to find all the buttons that are red?
catchmeifyoucan··on Mercury OS
Okay, consider you have 3 apps: gmail, slack and google docs

In gmail, you have a shipping confirmation, a calendar invite, and a team newsletter.

In slack you have a question from a customer, a review request from the team, and a poll for the next offsite.

And in Docs, you have a new project summary, a budget proposal, and a post-mortem doc.

You see, how you actually have 9 different things to do (intentions), but the number of apps you have is just 3? Sometimes, you'll have a thread of things across multiple apps. So despite switching "apps" there's still mental overhead of piecing things together. It's easy to overlook, but sometimes switching apps can causes an effect like walking into a new room, and forgetting why you were there in the first place. Hurting your focus/flow.
