dharmatvaon Show HN: Line counter – web tool for counting number of line in text

Nice demo project!

dharmatvaon Show HN: We built a search engine to find good neighborhoods (in Florida)

Looks pretty cool. I wish I had something like this when I was moving to Seattle for my job. Anyway, because this looks like a ‘product’, here’s some constructive criticism:

- Consider adding ability to find places with low rent. This is one of the most important things people want. - Please consider extending this to atleast the entirety of the United States.

- I couldn’t find a filter for good schools. For many of my friends that’d be a major dealbreaker when buying or renting a place to live in. Quality of high schools nearby has a pretty strong effect on home prices.

- Try to use the ‘Show HN’ prefix in the post title if you want to demo something you personally made.

dharmatvaon System.css: A design system for building retro Apple interfaces

Same - broken on Safari on an iPhone

dharmatvaon Learning HTML was too hard so I made a compiler instead

CSS is simple? You either know too much or too little about it to reach this conclusion.

dharmatvaon Indian threat actor Patchwork APT caught in its own web

No one - literally no one in India uses the 'EN IN' locale in India. Everyone uses the 'EN US' locale in India.

dharmatvaon The Economist tracks excess deaths

I believe the Indian government has been meticulously (under-)reporting them. There are government websites that are updated daily with this information. That is likely not the reason. But I'd prefer to attribute this omission to foolishness/laziness rather than malice (once again).

dharmatvaon The Economist tracks excess deaths

I like how this tracker doesn't talk much about India or China at all (even though there were 2.3m deaths due to COVID there according to the Economist).

Interestingly, they do talk about Japan, South Korea, etc.

dharmatvaon Ask HN: How did my LastPass master password get leaked?

I am having the same issue!!! One of my important passwords was leaked and in free use by a bunch of people who were all accessing my evernote account (thankfully it had nothing important in it). I've been on a spree to change my passwords since then.

I have been wondering - is this because of the following lastpass bug?
