I was reading this article yesterday: 'The best 3D modelling software in 2022'

As a blender studio subscriber & hobbyist, I'm so grateful such incredible software has no barrier to entry, especially for creatives in developing countries.

You can see this reflected in this great video of the worldwide blender community from last years blender conference https://youtu.be/uEjmbsiflMU?list=PLa1F2ddGya_8Wzpajwu1EtiS8...

'What have I told you about chewing my shoes and getting embroiled in geopolitics?'

Just tried it on my pup, a triumph! https://imgur.com/a/bpkSTuu

Oh this is so timely for me! I'm just building a mobile-first webapp with Vue and have been trying to solve this exact issue. Does it work with Nuxt?

Same, had an issue last week (which turned out to be my fault) and I also had generous help from the founders, and they were cheerfully gracious when I apologised for wasting their time. I have recommended them to several clients.

I saw @maryjofoley refer to it as 'Chredge' the other day which gave me a chuckle

how do you mean?

Handy bookmarklet

  javascript:(function(){Array.from(document.body.getElementsByTagName('*'), e => e.style.outline = '2px dotted orangered');})();

Thanks! replaced it with developers.google.com/web

Ha, exactly why I stopped using a db after v1, it's been flat cached json files since then

Just for one day...!

Readspike has been live for 5 years with only a handful of regular visitors, this is totally out of the blue for me! No idea who submitted it, I thought my site had errored when I saw it listed on itself

Thinking now of releasing the front end code, as the php is a little ... amateur

Yeah I think I made it when iGoogle and google reader died, I’ll not kill it off like they did

I used to have a day/night mode but my analytics said 0 people used it, so I removed it to reduce cruft. Maybe I should put it back!

I should make a public trello board, good suggestions!

Thanks Charles! Speed was my main goal, it should load in well under a second. Will look into the merged idea

Thank you! Unfortunately I am too ashamed of my code to open source it. Maybe I could OS the html/css/js and ask better coders than I to redo the backend...

BoingBoing too! What a lovely surprise, thanks

Correct, it's my personal news feed (I moved from London to Brighon). Amazed it's submitted to HN.

It is single column on tablet and down ;)

This a lovely surprise to me, I had nothing to do with the submission

That was a fork someone took when I had my first version briefly on github, I took it down a long time ago. I believe I left some creds in :(

Author here – I can't believe my humble little pet project has made it to the hackernews front page!

I cobbled it together for myself 5 years ago to aggregate my favourite news rss feeds. I'd be amazed if the server holds up! Feel free to ask any questions.

Oh that is nice, I'll try testing that out locally, thanks!

Thanks! I thought about it, but I'm ashamed of how poor my coding is :) It's really just a php script that converts rss/json feeds to html

No, there's not much functionality, just a site for my own amusement really. One day I'd like to, and also make it so you can add your own feeds

I'd be interested to see your personal news aggregator – I too made myself a personally customised one – https://readspike.com – anyone else make their own after the death of Google reader?

28, I saw on twitter

Yes, I've not tried submitting pull requests or forking code so I don't have any experience of the etiquette or protocols needed like developers must have in spades.

Very interesting point about inspirational mockups, definitely food for thought!

my site is in my bio, hit me up when you need design help :)
