Perfect! I'm continually shocked at how many solutions there are in this whole baby-naming space. I think there's something so personal about it that especially drives people to do it for themselves.

Thanks! She mostly humours me and tries to keep the eye-rolling to a minimum. Her feedback drove most of the features and bug fixes and we're actively using it right now.

That's a great idea! Though I think it would take an awful lot of data-munging to get there. Friends of ours struggled with this exact thing, but with English & French.

I considered it and maybe I still should, but ultimately I found when sending the sharing code I would just copy / paste it rather than type it in so for my needs it is fine. Wouldn’t be very much work at all though so I should probabl

Yes! I still haven’t found time to do so for my other app (Time Cop), but I should probably just get my butt in gear and figure it out.

Haha, I love it! Our first kid was code-named “baby thunder” before being born (we delayed telling some friends so we wouldn’t steal their “baby thunder”). The name stuck around for a couple months after she was born before we trailed off u

Ultimately because I wanted an app. * I make enough web-based things for my job, and I enjoy developing in Flutter / Dart (what this was built in). * I’m never realistically going to be looking through names on a desktop; I use the app

US-census names actually. As for the name of the app.. well names are hard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can filter names by first letter, sex, and decade of popularity, as well as limit to the most popular N names in that list. No, only like / dislike. This was intentional for me, another app we tried had a "maybe" list tha

lol, I guess. I've never used Tinder but I suppose it is a decent comparison.

This will be our second kid, and at least for us figuring out a name that we both love is hard. There are literally tons of baby-name apps out there, most of them more fully-featured and polished than Nom de Bébé and you should probably use

I wish the project the best of luck, but my sincere belief is that is just vapourware. I used the "alpha" a bunch almost 10 years ago (it wasn't called an "alpha" then, and was written in Haxe, and was open source),

Same in Canada.. always seemed fair enough to me and I assumed it was standard but now I'm curious how many other ways they are and how they shake out.

This had a surprisingly emotional effect on me. Something about watching and figuring out the patterns the music would take and loop back on itself etc engaged me in a way I can hardly believe. 5 stars.

I read it as "if we have to choose between maintaining nature and having cruise ships, we'd rather maintain nature and not have cruises".

The YouTube channel Not Just Bikes [1] explores this in a short series [2]. I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, but what he discusses rings true for my city at least. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/c/NotJustBike

I'm so glad you made this! I'm also very upset that this didn't exist 10 years ago when I really needed it. Well done!

You could try bitwarden_rs [1], much lighter on resources. [1] https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs

I’ve used git-bug[1] successfully in the past for something similar but more ergonomic. 1: https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug

Generally, yes. But also we’re a bit unlucky that it isn’t very deadly: SARS was way deadlier To start with but as a result spread several orders of magnitude less (both naturally and because humans had a stronger reaction to “shut it down

I didn't see those stats until I had completed a full page (then it shows for the previous page).

This sucks, but I’m not surprised. I’ve been contributing to Hacktoberfests for 4? 5? years now, and the explosion in size from the first year could realistically only result in this. I was planning on taking part again this year, but now I

Surprised Apple let you publish this with only the option to sign in with a google account and not let you use any functionality until you do. I would also prefer to not sync yet more stuff with Google. Otherwise, seems pretty handy, I&#x27

I integrated some basic CEF stuff (enough get to get a basic browser working) into a Rust codebase ( https://github.com/hamaluik/cef-simple ). It was a massive pain at first, but much easier once you give up on the safet

I've been using Manjaro for about a year now, after also getting fed up with Ubuntu. It is based on Arch, but just as easy to set up and get running as Ubuntu. I find its package management sane enough for my day-to-day use, and though
