I had a similar journey but with Rails and ended up in a similar place. React+Nextjs on Firebase makes the deployment and scaling steps so much easier than on Rails. I'm very conscious of the platform risk of depending so much on Fir

I love it! Great roadmap too. In a previous discussion of DIY indoor air quality sensors[1] MQTT+Zigbee was brought up as a good standard interface. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33773786#33775308

I used to love jasonette! I think the project was abandoned a while ago but in digging into it from this comment it looks like it was forked just for iOS and is now actively maintained at https://jasonelle.com/

Congrats on launching! Your game looks polished, consistently thematic, and I feel intrigued by the "magick" mechanisms hinted on the landing page. I'm curious what marketing mobile games looks like in 2023. App store optimiz

LosslessCut is a lifesaver for cutting segments out of my usually-unedited podcast[1]. The workflow to do a minor edit in a full editor like Final Cut Pro looks roughly like: - open Final Cut Pro - create a new proj... oh shoot no, a new li

Oh—I think this is just another Pareto distribution: a small minority of people have the majority of friends (probably something like the top 20% of people have 80% of the friends). You're probably friends with several people in that t

OP here! Thanks for the affirmation. My wife and I are 31 so a 10% drop is definitely something we can recover from. We've already lived through this high-risk crypto part of our portfolio falling to half it's value over the last

This is helpful—thank you. It sounds like as long as there's enough money to pay the admin, the government, secured creditors, and unsecured creditors, anything left over would get split amongst individual investors like me. Is that ri

Were you able to get accurate CO2 readings from the AliExpress Zigbee sensors? I got two of them and the CO2 values from each were wildly wrong. I'm curious if I'm missing a calibration step.

I think it's difficult to make an electronic sensing device that logs data locally but isn't a little DIY. There's not a great standard for passing around data on a local network. Perhaps the best way to do this from a consum
