ymslavov··on Show HN: Mission Emission – Calculate the emissions a vehicle produces
Damn, we've accidentally leaked our super secret plans for a fuel-less car. Oh well, now you know what to expect, make sure to check regularly on our website ;)

We've actually considered adding it to the list, but as the information we found was either very scarce, unverifiable or unofficial, so we had to make the choice to leave it out for the time being. It's on our task list though, that's for the good idea!

Hey Greece!

Yes, indeed, in Eastern Europe we refer to LPG as gas, and petrol as, well, petrol :)

Yes, your assumption is correct, we actually account for the means of electricity production, as well as the car production process emissions related to building a single electric vehicle. It's a great idea to be able to switch those overhead emission calculations if you wanted to, we'll get on that!

Thanks @GrumpyNI, I'm currently in Amsterdam, you guys sure as hell have a lot of Teslas :) Happy we've hit the mark, although our calculations are based on estimations, we've done our best to keep it as relevant as possible.

Hi there,

We at BetaPeak (https://betapeak.com) are a small team of dedicated developers with passion for side projects and positive social change. We're located in Bulgaria, which currently has the worst air quality in all of Europe, so this led us to think - we sure as hell are not the only ones with that problem, there must be thousands of cities around the globe that breathe dirty air, we definitely need to raise some awareness.

So in partnership with the awesome guys at Oblik Studio (http://oblik.works/), this led us to build Mission Emission, a tool to help you calculate your car emissions and get tips on how to travel more eco-friendly. Our bet is on simplicity, nice and clean UX and informative and beautiful results page, to help punch in the main idea - we need to ditch petrol/diesel cars!

We'd love to know what you love, what you hate, what you "meh" about the tool, and obviously we're ready to implement any cool ideas you may have on how to make this tool even cooler and more engaging.

Thanks!

Yasen

Yup, that's what I thought as well. It's a nice OSS package though.
ymslavov··on Show HN: CryptoStandardizer – the one crypto API your toolset was missing
Hi guys!

I'm Yasen, one of the people behind CryptoStandardizer. It is a side project which was born from a pain I had on a daily basis while working with a few of my last clients.

As a web developer I see a trend of websites wanting to stay relevant by integrating crypto-related information and news on their pages and that's what my clients wanted to do as well. The task was simple at first sight - get crypto coins data from a few exchanges and let's unify it so it's easy to consume by our clients. It wasn't long before I came to realize there are a staggering number of exchanges, each using their own coin symbols (one would use DSH for Dash, while others would use DASH, for example).

CryptoStandardizer is exactly what it sounds like - it's an API that allows you to easily standardize crypto coin symbols across 100+ exchanges, make your system as stable as possible and as an added bonus it gets rid of your headache!

It's a work in progress, I'd love to know what you guys think of the project and I'll be more than happy to get ideas on how to make the service an even more enjoyable experience.

In recent weeks I've been focused on making the API as intuitive and as elegant as possible - I'd really love feedback on the landing page and service - all comments are welcome!
