stigion Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader puts Silicon Valley to shame

I charge mine every 3-4 months... (almost never). Was expecting this to be a problem for me, but it turned out I do not care.

stigion Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader

Crosspoint is the way to go, imho. Together with the CrossX app (https://github.com/jtvargas/crosspoint-app) it's so nice! Nicely supports sending web articles as epubs onto the X3/X4 device (I use X3).

stigion Organic Maps

Yes, I like wanderer (http://wanderer.to/) a lot!

The difference is the planning, I'm building my tool around a collaborative use case. I'm often doing multi day bikepacking trips with my close friends. The planner supports real time collaboration, so multiple people can plan on the same route together.

Also for me it's an experiment in AI driven development (which I hope won't alienate people to much).

In fact they are called "Public GPS Traces" and can be enabled in the OSM layer inspector. I am not sure if anyone started distilling track recommendations from them yet though.

Here's a link that has traces enabled (aka layer "G"): https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.47166/13.40590&laye...

There's also a list of recent uploaded traces: https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces

I'm working on something that is best described as Komoot meets Mastodon. Self hostable and federated. It's pretty early, and the UX is pretty bare bones still.

If you're keen on checking it out you should be able to find it in my recent Github contributions, following the link in my profile.

stigion Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2025)

Hi Roddy, Not sure what a good way to reach out is, but I saw the JD and would like to chnnect over it. I found your linkedIn and send you a request. Alternatively you can look up my details in my HN profile. Looking forward to chat!

stigion Dawarich: Self-hosted alternative to Google Location History

Funny enough I’m (east) German and my first association was the Russian word “tovarisch” (meaning comrade or friend).

Wondering what Dr. Freud would say about that…

stigion Not all TLDs are Created Equal

In a few days my domain `foodba.by` is expiring after I stopped transferring funds to Belarus after the role the country took during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Glad that side project never took of :-)

stigion Teenage Engineering – Choir

A set of 8 wooden dolls with build in speaker, CPU, Bluetooth and accelerometer.

Singing from a set of ~20 pre programmed songs they "perform" together. Also when you own an OP-1 field (not sure if the original also works) you can join as the conductor and make them sing your own composition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pcp0au-IBY).

Last but not least, this time the price point does also not disappoint: 249€ per doll.

stigion EP–133

you're username suggests so :)

stigion EP–133

Thanks for the pointers everybody. They make sense. The frustration of seeing a 299 price tag and then being hit with a 349 price after one click on the store link is bad.. Didn't stop me from buying though :D

stigion EP–133

I don't know how they do their math, but they advertise it for 299USD but when I open the store it's sold for 349EUR which today converts to 380USD... That's a 30% difference that hurts.

But indeed, the other post gained more traction and is worth checking.

stigion Ask HN: Technology/creative books and games for my daughter (7 years)

This sound so cool!

Does anybody know of similar games for non English speaking folks? My kid only speaks German and I have the feeling playing our first RPG will benefit from us all being on the same page in the same language.

Thanks!

The topic is interesting, but just submitting the chart doesn't help a lot. Mind providing a source for the chart, or even resubmit the entire article?
