I think there's also something about being able to make it exactly how you want. For example I didn't like openclaw, I felt it was extremely over-engineered and I honestly couldn't even get it running on my first attempt. So

Here's two popular open-source projects that have combined 200k+ stars and 1,300+ contributors, with slightly different goals: - https://github.com/anomalyco/opencodeagents - https://github.com/Ope

Thanks for the feedback, I'll do that! I think different screens and system settings affect this a lot, on all the devices I've looked at the site on I felt it was quite comfortable to read, not to discount your experience, I&#x27

So I'm the creator of botctl which I created to satisfy my personal need for running many agents on a cron style loop. The whole premise is you don't need to be there to chat with the agent for it to do it's job. I'm def

Take your upvote, love the old school hn spirit. Reminds me of when I was speaking at a conference back in the mid 2010's with a presentation titled "Join the dark side of APIs" or something akin to that, where I showed many

That’s actually a great find, this page[1] from them I found seems to have more recent data than I’ve otherwise been able to find. I’ll reach out to them to see if they can provide some data to power my site as I don’t like the current setu

I mean you obviously could, the url is a little harder to remember and it doesn't have crossing data. This was just a small fun project I did, so you're free to do whatever you like. The reason I thought of using polymarket data i

Thank you for this comment, I just fixed it[1], don't know why claude code decided to hide it, I actually should have known this requirement and checked! 1. https://github.com/montanaflynn/ishormuzopenyet/comm

Ahh, thanks I'll remedy that now, wasn't intentional I'll blame Claude.

It's super hard to tell what's actually happening. Because I've seen other reports that Iran state media halted traffic earlier today, as reported by Washington Post[1]: > With Trump and Iran each claiming victory, but sti

Wow thanks, there's not really any dm functionality on hn and I didn't see a clear social handle in your profile. https://github.com/montanaflynn/ has my email.

What do you think of adding prediction market data to the indication? So basically there's this: https://polymarket.com/event/strait-of-hormuz-traffic-return... My approach would be if that jumps up to 75%+ it wou

Funnily enough, I did find a few satellite sources at the beginning for the map background and noticed that all the ships seemed to be scrubbed from the image. It's an interesting idea, thanks for the comment! The sources I used were:

Totally agree, I put some text and tried to make it clear. My first intention was to find some live ship tracking API and see how many ships cross the strait, but they were all hundreds of dollars a month, and behind enterprise contact form

I think I was just spit-balling what would be possible, rather than what I intend to do. As mentioned elsewhere I'm hoping to get an API key from one the data providers, I even reached out to the api behind marinetraffic.com, https:&#

Yeah! The AIS terrain data is expensive, but the good stuff is from satellite tracking and out of my budget for silly site I built on a whim. https://i.imgflip.com/aopmmf.jpg

Another funny thing about this was this morning I checked if the domain isthestraitofhormuzopenyet.com was available and it was, and by the time I made the site locally, put it on vercel I went to buy the domain to point DNS to it someone h

Great point and something I didn't consider, I should make a big disclaimer it's not meant to be fully accurate or live data. Thanks for the comment!

Fair enough, I'm actually not scraping it on any automated cycle currently, I just manually copied the JSON from their site to get some ships on the map. There's a few live ship tracking APIs I considered but they are expensive or

Their APIs are protected by cloudflare, I didn't want to circumvent that. Also I dont really want to make a chrome extension or have a browster tab open, if that's what you meant? I've already made a cron style agent framewor

So if it's under 25% of the prior year's crossing it goes to NO, otherwise it's counted as open. The update cadence kinda sucks because I didn't spring for the $200 a month live ship tracking data, so I'm using htt

So the announcement said the API works with the new model, so I updated my Golang SDK grail ( https://github.com/montanaflynn/grail ) to use but it returns a 500 server error when you try to use it, and if you change to

I made this app to scratch an itch of mine caused by flakey ethernet connection through my dock. Fairly often my internet connection falls back to wifi instead of ethernet though my dock. There's no built-in menu bar icon I could find
