   Thanks! I need it for work, but since getting my wife to beta test it she has also used it to somewhat similarly to pretty good success.

   Thanks! And uhh.. you can't really, sorry. I didn't really think of that before submitting. Part of the learning process was to create a paid app and learn about the forms and processes required by Apple and Google to sell paid ap

   I haven't heard of it before, but I'll certainly check it out right now, thanks!

   The app is built with Flutter [1], which uses Material design by default. So it's cross-platform, but uses an Android design system. I briefly experimented with making it look more native on iOS, but although Flutter is capable of that

   Thanks, I'll fix that right away! Knowing some French I know that the translations can be a bit.. special sometimes. For this app all I can hope for is than in most cases the poor translations are better than no translations.

   I was recently inspired by a post on HN: “An app can be a home-cooked meal” [1] and decided I was finally done putting up with time tracking apps that didn't suit my own use case well enough. I hate time-tracking, but it is a requireme

   We were in the process of finding a house to rent before this all went down. Now we're stuck in an apartment with our stir-crazy toddler and are both supposed to be working full hours from home. It's.. difficult, to say the least.

    I was actually just searching for this the other day but couldn’t quite figure it out. Do you have any guides on doing just this? Thanks!

    I just replaced the battery in my iPhone a couple months ago. I ended up paying Apple over $300 because the glass on the bezel had a small crack on it and they wouldn’t touch it unless I replaced the entire screen too. It’s not “just $20” t

    AFAIK, there's a difference between MSHTML (internet explorer) and EdgeHTML (edge / trident). But even then, Edge can be somewhat lacking depending on your use case [1]. For simple apps that just need a simple UI without spending

    Looks kind of like WebView [1] which I earnestly tried but eventually abandoned. Using the system-provided web engine is great for space savings, but terrible for cross-compatibility and feature availability owing to having to use IE on Win

    I have a 32" curved ultrawide (3440x1440) at home and a 32" 4k at work. I work and game from home, and I mostly prefer the ultrawide even though it has less pixels. For the ~ decade before I got this monitor I used to use 2x24&quo

    Sago Mini might work for you if you’re willing to pay and your kids are the right age: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/sago-mini-world/id874425722

    Agreed. See also https://www.redblobgames.com/ that is in a similar realm (though not quite as artsy as Nicky’s)

    You were still allowed to watch TV shows then, I presume? Just like pretty much everyone I know? Our daughter is too, and we absolutely control what she can and can not watch. But in HN terms, YouTube is a massive foot-gun compared to other

    It's not quite as simple as you've laid out, but sometimes it can be, depending on everyone's moods. Sometimes she's perfectly fine playing in her play kitchen while we watch a 20 minute show, other times she wants to wa

    You have a very understanding kid then, I'm jealous. We let ours decide what to watch / play out of a handful of things we've hand-picked as OK (such as Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood or Super Simple Songs), and iOS's

    Not the OP, but we tried that with my daughter. It turns out that’s only a viable strategy if you’re willing to absolutely never use a phone or tablet or computer or tv in their presence, ever.

    I use visual studio code, it’s the editor I’m most comfortable with these days. I have android studio installed but don’t really use it except when publishing.

    That’s weird.. aside from accepting licenses (which to me is fine), Flutter has always been a buttery smooth development process for me—much more so that trying to wrangle Xcode or Android Studio.

    My kid is 2, so I've only had 2 years of this, but my experience is identical. I didn't get started in software until ~a year before she was born, so I definitely feel like I'm behind professionally because I simply don'

    And what about if your baby dies from measles because you didn't vaccinate them? What if the baby that died was a relative? Your neighbor next door? You coworkers baby? You might question the sanity of anti-vaxxers after that. Worse ye

    Love the idea, but I can't for the life of me understand why you use `onclick` handlers on `h2` elements instead of `a` links. I immediately got frustrated when I tried to middle-click one of the "curated guides" to open it i

    So many nay-sayers here. At my previous job we actually owned 2 of these robots, and although a bit gimmicky they worked great for us for a few reasons: 1) It was surprising how much more engaged and engaging someone was when connected to a

    That’s not the only game LTT uses to benchmark with, but they include it because of its popularity and I suspect because it normally runs at such insane frame rates that differences show up more readily—much easier to tell 220 FPS vs 240 FP

    After years of trying different things, I found something that works great for me, though I suspect you’ll have to try a few things until you find what is comfortable for you. I publish my blog as a static site served by nginx on a $5 &#x2F

    I actually started writing Rust using Rocket ( https://rocket.rs ). It felt a lot like using nodejs/express which helped me get going and the docs are superb. I think using it quickly helped me learn the language and now I’m
