Iām thinking of starting (another) Side project / Hobby project. Also, Iāve been writing about my projects (mostly games) in the last few years. For me, itās a source of learning, validation and portfolio, but I have bitter-sweet feelings on the results.
I have mixed feelings, since when itās a Hobby project is not a big deal leaving it āincompleteā, without users, and such. But as a Side project which could at least earn some bucks to pay the expenses, there is some pain in not having traction as a product.
Any general advice?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks dude, Iāll take a look. If you need any specific feedback or to ping-pong ideas, throw me an @
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hey, itās nice to hear that :D
I guess there are already many tools to do that (my brother uses one when heās riding a bike, with fancy animations and a 3D map), but when you make your own tool, it tastes differently.
Share with us if you revive it!
Hey everyone!
Iām making a simple bot to record my weekly exercise in a Fake League like Duolingo does. If you want to try it, and share some feedback with me, join here: https://t.me/GemuFitBot
What would be more useful to me, is if it worked to motivate you to exercise more every week
I donāt know why there is an interest from Spanish speakers. Having the front page in English could help?
Also, for me as a geeky developer, twtxt and twtxt are clear. (Yarn extensions were confusing at the start tho) Maybe an adaptation for Twitter or Mastodon users would be helpful?
34° C outside, 31° C inside, Help!
On Mastodon and Podcasts (in Spanish) there was a discussion about consuming blogs on RSS. Besides podcasting, RSS has been dead for me, or at least Iāve had many years without actively using it.
Today for research purposes I opened The Old Reader with my account of 2010 and it was a blast of nostalgia, old blogs, content creators and even relatives sharing their content about 12 years ago⦠#dontTryThisAtHome
What Web browser are you using currently?
Over here my main one has been Brave (after ditching Opera for not supporting the chromeās Dark Mode). But lately, Iāve been using a bit more Edge, Firefox, Libre Wolf on Windows 10, and Firefox Nightly on Android
Iām gamifying my weekly exercise (since Iām lazy), with a League system inspired by Duolingoās.
There is the web3 and Web 3.0 (as a successor for Web 2.0), one more oriented to distributed and federated content, another with everything on top of a currency, so every stored bit costs some gas.
And although I donāt dislike the good parts of cryptocurrency, being the cryptography behind it and the potential of decentralized power behind it, Iām not too fond of the interests it brings. Since itās designed from the core for monetary value, it attracts people aiming for the best Return on investment not caring for the environment (there is a debate about green energies by 2022).
I know that a Hobbyist net, an Indieweb, and a Hyper profitable net are going to be different between them, their core values are different, and there is a space for all of them. I donāt think Web3 is going to be self-sustainable since there is no balance between losers and winners.
@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry, I donāt get the meaning of running coat, is it a kind of hosting service?
Iām thinking of operating a ātwtxt . esā pod (for content in spanish/espaƱol)
Itās gonna cost something like 100 USD/year (domain + hosting), nothing excessive, but I have some weird feeling about paying on stuff not being used that much. Thoughts?

I donāt have data on how bad it is compared with anything else, but that cool technology is now an environmental problem, as many technological solutions create further problems
A quote that made me think a lot this morning:
Why are many talented software developers drawn to solving impossible problems, drinking unhealthy amounts of coffee, neglecting their sleep and personal lives, and constantly trying to fix everything and everyone around them while ignoring their own psychosocial needs?
I feel slightly guilty about relaxing for the 3rd day in a row⦠But then I remember that I need to rest and I forget everythingā¦
Ask HN: When did tech stop being cool?
Well⦠How to say it? Is not that isnāt cool anymore, but we are getting older and surrounded (or perhaps overwhelmed) by technology going extremely fast.
Interesting reflections and points about creating a free service vs creating free software

What a week⦠Trying to make money with Art, Design and Code has been challenging
How is your week going over there?
Suddenly stopped using a few services I enjoyed for whole months. Gemini Antenna, 1 second everyday, twtxt.net, donelist.today
Weird
I think I have too many micro-blogging services nowā¦
Iāve been tweeting a lot in Spanish, but had forgotten of writing here :o
Donāt have anything cool to share, rather than saying Iām alive and family is doing fine.
For a few years, Iāve been thinking about writing a book (in Spanish to start).
Now Iām starting to write one on how to create a Poker Texas Hold āem on Unity and C#⦠Letās see how it goes for this 1st experiment
@prologic@twtxt.net a bit of both⦠Pleasure business too

After a few days travelling around the Centre of MĆ©xico, Iām finally at a calm place to relax and enjoy the holidays.
Itās interesting being for a few hours on planes and buses to feel bored, and let your imagination fly again.
