matthewhartmans··on Workers quit jobs in droves to become their own bosses
I think another major reason holding people back is consistent cash flow. If you know you can lock in 6 months of work at a time and not worry about cash flow, that would give a lot of people a reason to jump quite easily.
matthewhartmans··on Show HN: Blank – A unique escape room, text based adventure game
Thanks for your kind words.

Do you remember Hugo, that old DOS game? You use keys to navigate and type commands, was super fun!

But yeah, definately give this game a go on the phone, much more enjoyable to play :)

matthewhartmans··on My dead dad’s journal
It was a really beautiful read and some real teary moments.

Thank you for sharing man.

matthewhartmans··on How to Be a 10x Developer
This is the definition of a smart working developer and should be the gold standard.
matthewhartmans··on Preact: Fast 3kb React Alternative with the Same API, Components and Virtual DOM
It's a joke isn't it?! We spend hours maintaining that stuff and it gives the customer 0 value. :explodinghead: But on the flip-side, we get paid! :D
matthewhartmans··on Web Scraping Is Vital to Democracy
>>> Fight against web-scrapers just seems like a complete logical oxymoron: they want data to be public but also select who gets to see it.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the non-selective people used this as leverage for discrimination.

matthewhartmans··on Advice to my young self: forget side projects and focus on your job
I feel working on side projects actually helps boost my career. Having a diversified portfolio betters myself in other areas I didn't get an opportunity to do at work and employees love the creativity factor.
matthewhartmans··on Ask HN: Is it me or PWAs are pretty much dead?
Yep! and 1 codebase to rule them all! What's not to love!
matthewhartmans··on Ask HN: Is it me or PWAs are pretty much dead?
PWAs are still around and kicking!

I have released a few PWAs for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=746767314934473577...

All the apps listed on my profile are all PWAs.

My understanding is it's still evolving and they are trying to work out ways to monetise from it.

matthewhartmans··on Tiny websites are great
Agreed.

Or just commit directly to Github, enable pages, job done :)

matthewhartmans··on Linux Productivity Tools (2019) [pdf]
Another good productivity hack is having a good clipboard manager.

I highly recommend Green Clip: https://github.com/erebe/greenclip

You can assign custom shortcut keys to pull it up and it can fuzzy search through your clipboard items.

matthewhartmans··on Show HN: A Game of Nonsense
Hey! Thanks for your constructive and honest feedback.

I've been playing it with a few people which has been making it funnier. Trying to gear it like a friend's or family type of game (sort of like charades).

Was going to add difficulty levels (easy - 60sec timer, medium 45 sec timer, etc).

It's a PWA but I added it to play store to get more exposure.

Thanks again for the feedback, I will continue to add more topics and phrases everyday :)

matthewhartmans··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I built a game for Android using Google's Speech to Text API.

It's called Nonsense :) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nonsense.twa&r...

matthewhartmans··on Show HN: Lite – A small, fast text editor
Nice one OP! looks great!
matthewhartmans··on Show HN: Lite – A small, fast text editor
This is a thing man.

I'm running a Pentium powered notebook and VS Code runs like a dog.

Another factor to consider is you might be running other things in parallel to editing your files (terminal watching and compiling code, a web browser for viewing output, etc).

matthewhartmans··on Renaming files with mv without typing the name two times
I think this is really neat! Well done OP! :)
matthewhartmans··on GitHub for mobile is now available
it stopped working for me. I suspect they have made the website responsive now.
matthewhartmans··on Windows93
haha this made my day! thanks man :')
matthewhartmans··on Where are all the animated SVGs?
Was going to argue your points but saw your extra note #2.

This could be very useful for game development especially with the popularity of PWA.

matthewhartmans··on Swift Playgrounds for macOS
I'm still waiting for Apple to update Xcode to not include every single SDK for iPhone so the updates can reduce to 700mb instead of 6GB.

Xcode should have an SDK download manager so you get to choose which iOS version you want to install, rather than ship them all in Xcode.
