mezod··on Timemap.org – Interactive Map of History
There seems to be an obvious mistake which is that Catalonia is shown as part of Spain.

great job! :D

mezod··on Ask HN: Who is the smartest person you've ever known and why?
why do you think them as extraordinarily smart

the title char limit made it hard to word :_

I agree with you, that's why I used "in the broad sense" otherwise we will all be saying Torvalds, Cerf, Berners-Lee, and the likes :p

mezod··on Ask HN: How do you teach Comp.Sci to your 6-10yo kids?
Thanks!

ohh this looks like the WinLogo :P
mezod··on Mathematical Optimization for Cargo Ships
I just happen to be reading "The Box", about the early history of containerization... and boy am I enjoying it. I really really recommend it to anyone seeking a good enjoyable read that mixes engineering, design, business and history.

It also ridiculizes my little coding problems x)

mezod··on Ask HN: Good books on philosophy of engineering?
Probably not what you are asking for but thought they might be worth a look

mezod··on Ask HN: What not-so-known mobile apps do you like?
oh! I do that all the time using gmail haha, thanks!
mezod··on Show HN: Patterns – Habit Tracker App
ahh, ignore that noise. They don't realize that we all together raise awareness on habits and habit tracking and thus we all benefit from each others' work!

keep it up!

mezod··on Show HN: Patterns – Habit Tracker App
The app looks good so far! As the indie developer behind https://everyday.app I'm happy to see more indies joining the market :) You have a lot of work to do ahead!! heheh

Cheers and happy to help!

mezod··on Show HN: Patterns – Habit Tracker App
https://everyday.app supports android and ios too
mezod··on Organic Maps
Looked awesome until I saw there's no satellite imagery, I cannot get lost in the middle of the mountains with so little reference points :(
mezod··on Ask HN: What productivity tools do you use?
I hope it helps a lot! :)

It is a work in progress!

mezod··on Ask HN: What productivity tools do you use?
You can already export your data!

Also, you can use the API but I haven't publicly documented it! Some people use it to do their own stuff with their data :)

mezod··on Ask HN: What productivity tools do you use?
I use https://everyday.app as a habit tracker :P

It is actually my business. It started as a side-project but I kept working on it and now I make a decent living from it. So I like I can keep tweaking it to adapt to my personal system and feedback I get :p

mezod··on Ask HN: How do you have fun?
well, I guess I phrased it poorly, since this isn't really my intention and a couple of you understood it that way. Maybe it was my subconscious at the time to write? :P I guess what I meant is that I take up on every new thing from a serious/work/need to get good at mindset.
mezod··on Ask HN: How do you have fun?
savage!
mezod··on Ask HN: How do you have fun?
:)
mezod··on Ask HN: How do you have fun?
yes, thats pretty much the goal, but what can you do on a daily basis in a big city? I play the guitar but that also feels like work because you need to get better and sometimes that involves doing boring practice...
mezod··on Ask HN: How do you have fun?
yes this is sort of what I am trying to find, but also that I can do on a daily basis in a city!
mezod··on Ask HN: How do you have fun?
did you try with electric drums? :)

A little story of a side-project becoming an indie business through persistence.
mezod··on Ask HN: Is it okay to just bootstrap it, even when VCs are knocking?
Hi, I'm exactly in the same situation, bootstrapped saas (that I care a lot about!) at $15k mrr and getting vc offers. I'm 100% on prioritizing lifestyle and bootstrapping it all the way. Follow your gut, it's what's taken you this far.

I was recently recommended by more advanced bootstrappers to try to form a small closed mastermind (group of people with the same goals/values/stage in business). I suck at socializing but if you think it can help both of us to be in touch feel free to answer :)

Let's keep shipping!

mezod··on Ask HN: What's your greatest enjoyment in life?
Since noone has said it... driving!
mezod··on Christopher Alexander has died
Wow :( Precisely yesterday I was reading some reviews on some of his books on architecture... does anyone care to recommend one?
mezod··on Show HN: Everyday.app – Simple and beautiful habit tracker for iOS,Web,Android
Thanks for thiis awesome feedback!

Definitely more colours are coming and health integration too. The difference between Everyday and most of the habit trackers ouut there is that it has a Public API. The problem is that I haven't had the time to document it yet but many devs are already using it by reverse engineering the requests of the Web app. I really hope I can work on this in the future!

You can follow the app on twitter: https://twitter.com/everydaycheckapp for updates. I normally send a couple updates a year via email but you need to have an account to receive them!

mezod··on Show HN: Everyday.app – Simple and beautiful habit tracker for iOS,Web,Android
It's been almost 4 years since I started working on https://everyday.app as an indie hacker.

In 2020 I've created the macOS app, added more web extensions, translated it to 15 languages, created beautiful iOS14 widgets and I've just recently released the first version of the Apple Watch app!

It's about to reach $10k MRR and today it got hunted on ProductHunt! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/everyday-2-0-3

I'd love to hear your feedback and how would you grow it as a business :)

mezod··on Save like a pessimist, invest like an optimist
would you recommend any literature more broadly argumenting the ideas you defend here? thanks!
