oceankid··on Tailwind CSS marketing and misinformation engine
Well done.
oceankid··on Ask HN: Is there an e-commerce platform that doesn't suck?
We've got an online shop with 5M daily requests. We figured out it was better to build the tech in-house to control the entire UX– custom shop, checkout flow, exchanges, labels, inventory speed and rotation.

Next step was moving all the fulfillment, purchasing and BOM parts over to a proper ERP system, like Odoo. Apart from one developer time, it costs us under $100 to run (the CDN costs the most).

Now we're pulling everything together under one UX. Sure, it's not for everyone, but it was fun to build and it's been a game-changer for us.

oceankid··on Show HN: Lissom.CSS - A classless, minimalist, and themeable CSS library
Looks great! Working on something similar, but couldn't go through the nuances of managing every gnarly inputs. What do you think of a PR for <section> stacking any children as equal width columns.
oceankid··on Microsoft eyes $10B bet on ChatGPT
Not long ago, Microsoft acquired Lobe.ai by Apple designer Mike Matas and others. Really well thought out app. Effectively dead now.

Is anyone building a GUI based service for training domain specific models? Such as image creation (or correction) based on a trained style, image recognition for security, sales data classification and forecasting.

Wild! Thanks for sharing.
oceankid··on Native-GUI distributed system in a tweet
The language on the website seems to be targeted to an audience with knowledge of a subset of languages. Instead it would help if it talked about the problem it seems to solve for a regular "general purpose" programmer.

Doesn't help that the author comes off as super defensive.

oceankid··on The Gov.uk Design System is now live
These are sort of how they started in an afternoon. Then folks were easily able build on top...

oceankid··on The Gov.uk Design System is now live
I've been building prototypes with this. It is everything good web design should be– UI with good contrast, legible type and accessibility patterns.

My only gripe is perhaps if their teams made example pages from their own use cases– sub-nav from the components page, charts/references from their Covid dashboards.

Great work overall!

oceankid··on Show HN: I made a privacy-first minimalist Backblaze
Nicely done. Any plans for allowing to pick a US/EU/Asia data center?
oceankid··on Set up a website with Nim (2019)
Came here to say I love how focused your product feels.

If you're using Nim to target JS, a demo link of the Gantt would be super nice.

ps: A minor image 404 on the feature page there.

oceankid··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
Curious, what do you write that is 'OS like GUI' that doesn't require querySelectors, DOM and event handlers?

How do you handle the nuances of GUI and input handling?

oceankid··on Pico CSS Framework
Thanks for sharing. The UK Gov design system is a delight for my aging eyes.
oceankid··on Show HN: 4K Desktop Wallpaper Generator
Super nice! Save doesn't work on Safari MacOS?
oceankid··on Show HN: I wrote a local-first notes app for Mac, with data longevity in mind
Congratulations on the launch! Downloaded and seems quite polished.

Recently found and use 30% of something called Obsidian so native UI and attachments are welcome.

I saw the option to view as Spreadsheet but wasn’t obvious how one was made? The concept of fields seems cool. Are there plans for data extraction/APIs?

Congrats again!

oceankid··on Airyx OS
I'd love to throw an investment into something like this with GUI, marketing and supply chain resources to build a solid computer under $300 for a developing world.

Go up against Fuchia and Google hardware in less time and with more clarity.

oceankid··on The Kotlin Foundation
Must be feeling some pressure because they've redesigned that homepage three or four times in a very short time.
oceankid··on DIY Video Hosting
+1 with author on BunnyCDN. Low latency, good value and great support!

I'd pay them more if they handled adaptive bitrate automatically.

oceankid··on VPN owners: 97 VPN products run by 23 companies
Good observation.
oceankid··on Show HN: nextdns.io – A Combination of Cloudflare DNS and Pi-Hole
Really well designed and communicated. Things are kept simple and advanced knobs are made possible.
oceankid··on Nim programming language
Huge update on the website. Dope!
oceankid··on Ask HN: What are your impressions of the HoloLens so far?
Thanks! What resources do you recommend for app UI designers to get their hands dirty with this 3D interface paradigm?
oceankid··on AngularDart is going all Dart
I wrote "Documentation" is beginner friendly.

Spend some time reading their docs. Dart has language, Web and Server tutorials specifically for beginners. The style of writing in which they build up to explain simple concepts to things like method chaining just click. Its very natural.

Go is minimal and great for people already experienced.

I felt Dart docs were centered around human problems and Go around CS problems.

oceankid··on AngularDart is going all Dart
I find Dart consistent, fun and the documentation very beginner friendly, especially compared to Go.

I really want to use it and wish the community/IRC was slightly more active.

oceankid··on PostgreSQL Exercises
Love SQLBolt.
oceankid··on PG Casts – Postgres Screencasts
So good. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I'd love more beginner videos about how to build a simple CRUD app that lets PG do the heavy lifting.

Most web frameworks focus on routing/validations/sessions and new programmers like me tend to write the data storage logic around the library, even though SQL is so much nicer and intuitive for this sort of thing.

oceankid··on Firebase expands to become a unified app platform
The thought of reliable, managed hosting is interesting.

But how does one extend an app outside storing and fetching data? What if you want to run a background job to send emails, parse a complex csv or create a custom pdf and write to firebase storage?

oceankid··on NET Core and ASP.NET Core RC2 Released
Is this now an integrated release with the compiler and toolchain?

In the cross-platform section, what is Linus? Do they mean Linux?

https://www.microsoft.com/net/core/platform

I can't stand that each of their primary link leads to a completely different website, each with its own navigation and visual design.
