raymondmoay··on Show HN: HabitGrids – Track habits with GitHub-like calendar heat maps
Thank you!!
raymondmoay··on Show HN: Todo list inspired by GitHub’s contribution calendar
Thanks! I'm not sure, haven't found one. I'm kinda a sucker for heat maps so I just married the ideas...

yea this is neat, fresh. Love the old school preview on hover.
raymondmoay··on Ask HN: Those making $500+/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell
Built lifeofdiscipline.com, a habit tracker inspired by GitHub’s contribution calendar. Took me a year to break the 500/mo mark.

I thought about this a lot. Initially, I wanted phone authentication, but decided to do that next time when the problem arises. Then I realised that the goal of this is long term investing, I.e. 3-5-10 years. I doubt these “return miners” can do so over the long term while writing good insightful posts on their positions to build enough reputation to thrive on the platform.

But then again, it’s still possible to maintain two to three accounts running different strategies. And so moving forward, I’d either try phone auth or Stripe’s identity verification.

Firebase is annoying damn. Will figure it out.

(1) yes high commissions are designed to promote long term holdings (hence the name of the platform). I’m still trying to figure out simulated taxes.

(2) hmm, do you mind elaborating? For me, it’s not an exact replica of my personal portfolio, but moving forward it should be a relatively good proxy to it.

(3) I think the commissions itself will eliminate profits from minor arbitrage, but large deviations are possible to arbitrage successfully. Thanks for this, I’ve added a ticket to solve this issue. Will implement open market timings for trades.

(4) Search is far from optimal for now... super rough MVP. Will improve of course.

You’re right. Currently high frequency trades are penalised by commissions which has a fixed component. I’m still banging my head trying to figure out a simulated tax environment, but I’ll get it done.

The goal is to make it as perfect as it can as an imperfect proxy to investor skill.

I’ll be writing some articles as posts on the site in the coming days, hopefully it’ll help you get started!

Weekly updates sounds like a good idea. I’ll put it on the roadmap. Thanks!

It does not as of now, but I’ll be working on shorting soon. The goal was to initially find good long term companies to invest in.

Regarding the verification email, I’m using Firebase Auth now, will figure out the cause. Thanks for letting me know! Have you tried resending the verification email?

Thanks! You’re right on the use case. Hope you’ll find value in this. (:

Actually, I'm not selling anything. The authors themselves get to sell subscriptions to their readers when they gain reputation. Yea, it's fictional, but hopefully it will be a better proxy to their value as compared to outright selling a newsletter subscription.

Plus, authors can only start selling subs after 6 months, and no one would subscribe if their ideas are bad. I'm trying to build a skin-in-the-game kinda system as much as I can with the constraints that I have.

Might need to work on my copy since you didn't get it. :(

Just like the naming tbh... it's kinda cute and the domain is available.
raymondmoay··on Show HN: Free 30-year financial statements visualization
Will do!

Thanks! Made this for myself while learning testing.

Wow resourceful! I open sourced this to get my first job in code. Gonna private it for now, and consider open sourcing it again when I secure some requirements.

You are right, this is as general as it can get for the initial screening phase for me. I then deep dive into the reports.

Update: It's a PWA now. Thanks!

Very odd. I'm using Supabase to handle the authentication, hence the odd lookin redirect domain. May I ask if you are using Twitter, Google or Facebook?
raymondmoay··on Show HN: A habit tracking tool, GitHub-calendar style
Thanks for that! Are you referring to the redirect from Twitter Auth on mobile? You simply have to refresh the home page to log in. It's an bug with Supabase, I use them to handle the Auth and backend.

Fixed it! Thanks for the catch. In SG we tend to add "like" to our sentences even when they don't make sense...
raymondmoay··on Show HN: A habit tracking tool, GitHub-calendar style
Will fix that. Sorry, I'm from Singapore. Though english is my main language we don't speak it "properly" here I guess.
raymondmoay··on Show HN: A habit tracking tool, GitHub-calendar style
Great idea, I'll implement that in a week. Thanks!
