   One big change I had when learning Japanese was that someone introduced to me Cure Dolly videos on YouTube, and it has been an eye-opener: All these verb conjugations are actually attaching another verb to extend its meaning

   Congrats on the 1.0 milestone! I had a Show HN that built with Instant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44247029 The common request from that thread was to add guest auth, and few months later Instant had it baked in,

   I used to save Timeanddate's calendar as HTML and adjust them so they fit A4 paper perfectly (also like to remove their logo oops), but have moved on to generating my own: https://kenrick95.github.io/calendar/ Sup

   My gripe is with multi-layer approvals for permission request tickets. If it's only 1 layer, the only layer will make sure the person it's correct. However once there are >1 layer, each layer will think the other n-1 layers wil

   I switched to KISS Launcher several years back and had been loving it. I like the philosophy of search-based launcher. This way, if I don't actively search for an app, I won't be distracted into opening one

   I want to learn driving. I live in a city with well-connected public transport (Singapore) so I don't feel the need to learn. However, this year I travelled to some rural areas in Japan and started to feel the pain of relying solely on

   I submitted my travel planning web application [1] few weeks ago as Show HN [2] and it received tons of feedback and ideas that resonates with me. So I'm still working on it :) [1] https://ikuyo.kenrick95.org/ [2] htt

   Thanks. Noticed this too after I added Sentry, should be fixed already :)

    I feel like once I list down the places in the map, I sort of can grasp which places should go together or play around with the schedules to make things work. Yes it's more manual work, but I feel that's part of the 'fun&#x27

    Thank you. This app is meant for me to replace my "Excel trip planning workflow" and I'm glad that you like it :)

    The whole back-end is using InstantDB https://www.instantdb.com/ . I don't have export function yet

    Thanks for the feedback. I agree that everyone have their own workflow and this might not suit your prefered workflow. Having a 'idea list' is requested several times and I have started working on implementing it. But I don't

    Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I think over time I ended up making way too many of the fields being non-optional. I also agree that this is not for everyone, and lean towards my style of having all things planned out. For now, my workflow

    Thanks for the feedback and trying them out. Having a 'bucket list' of activities (without exact times) is definitely on my horizon to implement next. The 'region' to select is mainly used for map so I can scope down to

    Yup, it's using CSS Grid and since I have to declare the grid templates upfront, and my granularity is at minute level, it means I have to declare each minute of the day, i.e. 24 * 60 = 1440, as the rows of the grid

    That's a very valid use case I haven't thought of. Thanks for pointing it out!

    Yeah this is not that obvious, but the selected 'destination time zone' is the only time zone that one will be working with when planning the activities within the trip. (When inputting/reading the activities' time zone,

    Thank you for trying them and providing such a detailed feedback! - On Trip Sharing, hmm that seems weird. While I understand that there's no 'loading' indicator yet, one should be able to do so if one is the 'owner&#x27

    Thank you! Probably you just need to copy `.env.example` into `.env` and replace the required API keys. [1] The whole 'back-end' is an external dependency hosted elsewhere by InstantDB [2] While they claim that you can self-host i

    It is React on the front-end with InstantDB ( https://www.instantdb.com/ ) as its back-end. I was trying not to add more external SDK since it contributes to the bundle size. Adding Sentry soon for some observability.

    Several things, but wide adoption is NOT one of them. First and foremost, it's for my own personal use. I like to organize things and I find that the messy doc/spreadsheet way is way too messy for my liking, especially when I find
