Slick design. Love that it doesn't try to do a million things. I think this would be really nice as a smartwatch face or an iPhone widget.


Yes. This is a very “Apple” design (and that is high praise).


Thank you!


Thank you!


My favorite entrepreneur read this past year was Minimalist Entrepreneur from Sahil.


Heard good stuff about this one too.


Depends a bit on your approach.

If you're trying to ship projects and you don't care how things work under the hood, then check out repos that look interesting and start pulling levers.

A lot of projects you can play around with now on Google Colab without really knowing how they work.

If you want to go deeper, really understand what's happening with Machine Learning and neural-nets, then the most-recommended course is still Andrew Ng's Coursera course.

And if you just want to keep up with the headlines/fight FOMO I'm writing a 20% jokes 80% informative newsletter at https://boteatbrain.com/


I use Feather and I love it. Makes for such a convenient writing experience.


I use a service called Feather (https://feather.so/) for my blog which uses Notion as a CMS and abstracts away the actual api layer.

I believe behind the scenes it uses a service called https://usenotioncms.com/ which offers some quality of life improvements over the vanilla Notion api.

You might want to check them out.


Got lucky with this pair:

"Professor" to "Education in France" Time: 66.789 Seconds

Number of links visited: 3

The path you took: [ "Professor", "Tertiary education", "Secondary education in France", "Education in France" ]


Welcome to the internet at large.


And by extension the world. For every person who reads a story, 10 more just look at the headline and absorb it subconsciously.


Wish more of these kinds of posts hit the front page. Tired of VC news dominating when indie hackers are building interesting small businesses like this that never get featured.


Op here. Thanks! I also wish there were more indie hackers featured on HN sprinkled in here and there. Some of us are working on cool and useful stuff too! :)


> Then there are mangroves whose trunk flattens out at the base; these trees stem from a branch at a low elevation — and they walk!...Is this tree really walking? When we walk, our physical mass moves as a whole. But no displacement of matter occurs with mangroves; the way they grow just makes it look that way. The “movement” is the growing process, four to five meters a year. The branch experiences necrosis and vanishes at one end, while it keeps developing on the other.


This turns out to have been wholly fabricated by tour guides.

Appealing story, though.

BTW, if you like that sort of thing, https://cantrip.org/slow.pdf


> BTW, if you like that sort of thing

Thank you for sharing that. It was a fun read.


I suppose the mangroves walk as much as a glider in Conway's game of life glides.


I was having brain freeze trying to understand what exactly was meant, but this is a brilliant way of putting it.


But not even that much I don't think. But perhaps you are thinking along the lines of a whole forest moving. Trees dying on one side, born on the other. Over a long timescale the forest 'walks'.


How is that different than a horizontal tree growing on one end and rotting on the other?


Well it does say "poetic" in the name of the book, which I own, and I would say "the way they grow just makes it look that way" would definitely poetically count as walking.


Do you have a link to your project or a way to follow your progress? I'm interested in decentralized community platforms.


I was curious too, on their profile it says "Howler", so I'd assume it's this? https://github.com/HowlerChat/Howler


Correct — I suspended development on the repository a few weeks ago to switch from launching centralized and federated initially to going fully decentralized at the start of the public beta. I’m taking the time to work on an extension to double ratchet to extend to group conversations but avoid a painful group ECDH key rotation scheme or take on integrity compromises like with megolm.


Any reason to not use the Matrix protocol underneath?
