As someone from Europe, I had heard before about bankrupting ambulance rides, slavery in prisons, and food deserts. I did not expect to add “lunch money humiliation ritual” to that list. I’ll think of this next time I complain about my 50%

Neat! Wonder though if you should be even offering the BYO option as a separate lite package. As a dev I would not buy this and as a non-tech person I would be confused by your pricing page. But I do see the value! Think sales or marketing

Of course. The only thing that’s changed (raised) is the baseline. It’s still hard to come up with a winning idea that’s innovative, creative, and polished. It’s also much easier to go into a rabbit hole you shouldn’t have gone into, which

Looks like this is fully anonymous and that your auth doesn’t apply on this page (when I visit it with an active session, it doesn’t show as such). I think if you require people to be logged in you’ll already decrease malicious traffic by a

I miss a thorough explanation of how Plain is fundamentally different than Django + extensions. Good luck though

The IndexedDB API [1] is fairly easy to work with. I personally use idb [2] as a wrapper, but that's optional. The hardest part is getting it neatly integrated with whatever you're using to manage state. I use a centralized Redux-

Thank you! So nice to see it's something others were looking into as well. And these are great ideas, I'll add them to the list. Could you specifically clarify on the grouping? I already show time spent by tag - anything you'

Fully agree, I dislike auth walls as well. It's also great for distribution, so everybody wins.

Good one - that sounds like great optional behavior. Having said that, I consciously built it this way. I personally use simultaneous stopwatches to track a full day of work and tagged items within that day, such as a specific meeting (each

Great idea, thank you! Shorthands are on my list. Would it work if you could immediately start a stopwatch + assign a tag, such as “customer care” with a single click? I preferably don’t want to include projects/folders/tickets, t

Any reason why you think it's unreliable? Note my aim is to make it a PWA in the future, meaning it would be installed on your machine and run perfectly fine without an internet connection.

Aah love to hear that! I think you should be able to iframe it just fine unless you're using an older Safari version.

Yeah this took quite some weekends :) Just hang in there and you'll get a project shipped too! I'm using Angular (yes, really!), and some date-fns utils for the time-related logic. Other than that, it's all custom except for

Ah - thanks for reporting. Any details on the device you're using? For me it's working fine on iPhone/Mac. In any case, I had to cut some corners with JS for the UI library I'm using. These should be CSS-only animations,

Nice work! Smooth and local. I like it. A tip: it doesn’t detect mobile screenshots (the frame remains in landscape, causing the image to be cut off).

I think your best bet is an insect screen. I have one at home that pops right inside my window frame. Modern frames have standard dimensions, so it's likely trivial to find an insect screen that fits yours. Once you have this in place

I am a Jekyll user that has switched to Astro. I like it a lot, since it provides me with simple templating, bundling, out of the box TypeScript, and Tailwind support. It can do much more (like embed multiple UI frameworks) but I haven’t fo

Personally I’ve always thought that specialization is what matters. I’ve tended to look up to people who know everything about a single topic. I still do, but in my professional life I’ve come to learn that generalists with a few but limite

Nice first attempt! What I would try to do is find a design system and stick with that. Someone else already commented about the size of the text and elements. If you’re not designing on a daily basis, you will overlook such and many other

Django Ninja allows you to immediately piggyback on all the Django features: the ORM, auth, admin panel, migrations, forms, and so on. If you choose FastAPI you’ll have to add these things yourself (SQLAlchemy for the ORM, Alembic for migra

Not air tight, not truly “OpSec,” but people do call me crazy for having a separate e-mail for every service. This has caught three leaks so far–if you receive spam you immediately know which service got pwned. If that happens I delete the

Firefox’s right click + Q to immediately focus on a DOM element in dev tools is such a powerful feature. I’d try to get that in your system if you’re a web dev.

I think very few people nowadays have a job where they produce a product that lasts for more than 30 years. Perhaps if you work at Boeing or Porsche.

Unless efficiency is significantly improved, I don’t see how community incentives (with community resources) could train a model with that many parameters. Would love it if it happened, though. That would be true Open AI.

It blew my mind when I gave it a TypeScript function with multiple nested awaits, all tangled up into a chain of multiple `map` calls. A comment I wrote above it was “TODO refactor this monstrosity.” It was clever enough to split it into a

Great to see yet another Tailwind version. I’m a huge fan. CSS is always a “get it over with” ordeal for me, and Tailwind allows me to finish the job in the quickest way. And Tailwind UI has been one of the best purchases I’ve made in the p
