mvk666··on Show HN: Destroy Any Website with Stickman
I tried to destroy pornhub.com, but I could only get to the disclaimer :(
mvk666··on Show HN: A goal tracker that looks like a 1983 terminal, drawn in Swift
it looks interesting and I applaude your willingness to get an app out on a store.

As a PoC it's nice, but imo lacks a good reason to install. The logo looks overly complex, same as the screens. One of the banes of using AI is that it's easy to add lots of features, but hard to pinpoint a smaller feature set to display initially for more specific user needs.

mvk666··on Ask HN: React Native or Flutter when the back end is Node?
I tried React Native for one app, Flutter for another and Kotlin/Swift for a third.

From my experience, for the next app, I'd default to Flutter unless I need to go deep into hardware, like my phone utils that I made for both my iphone and android phone.

mvk666··on Show HN: Jev predicting your life choices
it started out good, but transitioned to slop question/answers
mvk666··on Ask HN: Indie hackers on X (Twitter) feels like a mega bubble these days
back in the day, the moat was mostly writing the actual software that didn't break (that much). Now you need to build a brand. The less known you are, the more visceral the needs of customers have to be satisfied to rise through the ranks.
mvk666··on How to Freelance Now?
imo the rules have shifted. You now need to be in the same country and speak the local language or have a massive personal brand to stand a chance. So long, time-zone remote work / freelancing.
mvk666··on Ask HN: How do you interview devs in a post-AI world?
it feels surreal to see that people still do interviews, when I've been applying for 8 months, not even getting to an interview.
mvk666··on Show HN: Frost – frosted-glass Linux icons where file types say what they are
I appreciate the effort, but the contrast ratio make it a bit difficult (for me) to read.
mvk666··on Show HN: Will Jev pull the lever in the trolley problem?
nice stick figure, though I'm not immediately sure where the trolley would go (a small animation would go a long way). Also, high-five for getting Jev access.
mvk666··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
yikes! looks like a free upload api ...
mvk666··on IBM Bob
I was at an IBM Bob party, behind the scenes it's basically other frontier models with an IBM-specific context.
mvk666··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
should've just pulled the emergency brake and ran...
mvk666··on Photographs of 19th Century Japan
wow, my great grandfather fought in WWI, got captured and went through Russia, Japan, Hawaii, Panama and back to Europe. He collected postcards like these, we still have them
