Thank you! I was going to say the same thing. It doesn’t give mr an overview at all
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
Yahoo pipes. It was so great at creating rss feeds and custom workflows. There are replacements now like Zapier and n8n but loved that. Also google reader which is mentioned multiple times already.

This reminded me of the scene in Amelie where she makes a video montage for the glass man. Really interesting and random topics.

This is really fun! Reminds me of early internet days when there was fun discovery sites like this.

This was a lot of fun to play, thanks for sharing!
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Something you’ve done your whole life that you realized is wrong?
Haha, gotta love the simple solutions
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Something you’ve done your whole life that you realized is wrong?
I’m a stickler for this as well, but at the same time it is easy to have the status quo and get used to not putting things away.
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Something you’ve done your whole life that you realized is wrong?
I just discovered this recently as well. I agree it was better than I thought.

Nice!

Is there a way to browse a pinterest style view of all setups and click on the images to see more details? This is my first interaction and I’d love to scan through a lot at once to get ideas and drill down where it makes sense.
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Did the Pandemic Kill the Whiteboard?
A bit. One thing I thought was interesting is when you are at a whiteboard and sharing digitally, you have to turn around and look at the camera all the time. It would be interesting if you mounted an ipad on the whiteboard so you could see the people you are talking to while also having the whiteboard shared over screenshare. Having an angled camera that would allow for the whiteboard to be picked up would then make sure it wasn’t blocked. Almost like the old overhead projectors where you were always facing the audience and the material you are writing.
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Did the Pandemic Kill the Whiteboard?
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
coreyhn··on Ask HN: What would you change on HN if you could?
Notifications to my comments/posts would be great.
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Did the Pandemic Kill the Whiteboard?
That is a good question. Since whiteboards are intended to be ephemeral, the need for a constant data link isn’t compelling (ex: like the notebooks that automatically transcribe to a cloud service). Something I haven’t done yet is fully utilized the magnetic aspect of my whiteboard by having precanned magnets for db design, mocks or data flow. That may be a next evolution for my use, but even that probably won’t get used as much as I’d expect as I’m not at the whiteboard every day, but more like a few times a week.

If there was a way to make intangible tangible on the whiteboard, that may be interesting. Like a way to have magnets that are linked to a digital object so as you moved around and marked up, it could be reflected digitally too…that being said, it is more of a novelty and not sure it would be compelling enough for a paid feature.

I’ll think about this the next time I use my whiteboard.

coreyhn··on Ask HN: How do you get notifications for comments on HN?
Thank you
coreyhn··on Ask HN: How do you get notifications for comments on HN?
Thanks criddell. I checked the FAQ first and did a web search trying to find the answer, but the results were not related to HN notifications. Appreciate the pointers
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Did the Pandemic Kill the Whiteboard?
Correct, only one person needs to draw.

The hard thing with digital is the spatial aspect. I like a big canvas to write on as opposed to the feeling of being confined to a screen. Note that even if the screen increased, it still is more cumbersome. I still use digital drawing programs for creating artwork so I’m not opposed to using a digital medium for drawing.

The other aspect is it allows you to step away from screens altogether and approach a problem in a more tangible way. I like standing in front of a whiteboard and taking in the flow if data or mockup and tweaking. In these instances, I’m not sharing my camera, it is purely a thought process for myself.

coreyhn··on Ask HN: Did the Pandemic Kill the Whiteboard?
I’ve mainly been the presenter. I’ve been on the viewing end before too and it is a lot easier to convey a quick concept. As far as transferring to other tools, I’ll typically transcribe the notes onto my computer if it is easy to type or take a picture and have it on my computer for reference. I haven’t had a need for a shared whiteboard experience yet and favor annotating images/files instead
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Did the Pandemic Kill the Whiteboard?
I still use a whiteboard every week. I even have my laptop on a swivel stand so I can point my camera at it to share. I have an iPad where I could replicate a digital experience, but it isn’t the same. A whiteboard is still an important tool for brainstorming, mocking interfaces, and walking through logic for me.

coreyhn··on Ask HN: Are there complimentary front end software for headless CMS?
Just found https://lowdefy.com in another thread and it looks promising
coreyhn··on Ask HN: Are there complimentary front end software for headless CMS?
Webflow feels more like a cms and less of a framework for creating web applications front ends.
coreyhn··on 1991's PC technology was unbelievable (2011)
Thank you for pointing that out. Totally missed the 2011 at the end of the link
coreyhn··on 1991's PC technology was unbelievable (2011)
To clarify, 1991 was 30 years ago so is it zdnet’s 30th anniversary or were they founded in 2001 and this is just a bigger reflection beyond that?
coreyhn··on Tell HN: No, I won't enter my WORK email
The reason I’ve seen is that the domain on the email can be associated with the broader company account in CRM systems. This is used for lead routing, identifying an expanding interest within an org, along with getting more info about the company through lookup services for again lead routing based on size and location.

Thank you
coreyhn··on Amazon Fresh/Whole Foods Delivery Slot Finder
Thank you for this. I increased the delay to match the same amount of time I was refreshing manually so it is hitting Amazon's servers the same amount but requires less of my time.
coreyhn··on I ordered a box of boxes from The Packaging Wholesalers via Amazon.ca
I applaud your patience
