Reminds me of the Bloomberg B-Unit authentication ( https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/support/b-unit/ , step 5) where it shows as flashing light to enroll a token generator for their terminal.

I am still trying to figure out the exact use cases for this project so it is a bit generic, but the features on Wanderlog look quite fleshed out! I have not used it myself, but it looks like it does not have the calendar view which I perso

That sounds pretty neat. I am thinking maybe anonymous accounts that can then be upgraded to a proper account. And there are actually public view URLs you can set up! They can be enabled in the Share menu. And yes, it is in a pretty early s

Those are really neat ideas! A prototype I had built at first had a map, but I didn't go with it because the cost to for location data searches and map renders was prohibitively expensive (I was considering Mapbox and their API got pre

Thank you! I actually kind of cheated and didn't have to implement any of that myself because Firebase took care of it. But when I was considering how to build Calenday, those were on my mind. I had read about CRDTs on Figma's blo

None right now, but I was considering having a freemium model and charge for additional customization and features that do cost more like location-aware events.

I was too lazy to implement this at first and was also afraid of abuse, but this is a good idea, will work on it!

Thank you for the kind words! I was thinking the same thing, I didn't really find a good solution for group trips and also wanted something where I can send a link after the trip to friends that wanted to go to the same place. If you r

Thank you! I had personally not used stores a lot before, but realized how powerful they were in the project. I would try to abstract away as much as possible of the Firebase stuff and having your components talk to the store as data source

I haven't used it myself, but it looks like the goals are different. TripIt is meant for trip planning for a single person and organizing travel and stay mainly. Calenday is meant for cross-user collaboration of trips and getting conse

I also use Google Calendar, but in my experience sync between calendars across users is slow unless you send out invites for each event (instead of sharing a calendar). Calenday is supposed to be a real-time solution (updates happen near-in

I definitely agree that it is difficult to make users switch if there isn't enough of a value add. I was hoping for features like the suggestions and voting to give enough of a reason to switch, but admit that it might not be enough. I

Thank you! This is really nice to hear! And good idea as well, I will look into adding an open suggestion mode. I should surface this better, but you can click and drag on the calendar or drag the event button to the calendar to quick add!

Correct, yes, I subscribe to the Firebase Cloud Firestore events and update a Svelte store whenever something changes. This way I only need to set up the connections once and every Svelte component can just subscribe to updates to the store

That's a really cool idea! A friend mentioned something similar. I will look into that, I think the UX might be hard to nail down. I am not sure on how to best indicate it, but it might be interesting to show availability of each perso

I kept the website purposefully vague to just mention "planning together" in general. I was thinking this might be helpful to plan corporate events, but haven't really thought of many other use cases. Do you have any in mind?

Hi HN! I built this website after having to recreate the same Google Sheets template over and over for different trips. This is basically Google Docs for calendars along with some other helpful features like voting and categories for trip i

Google Fi seems decent. But course it is Google itself, not sure what shenanigans the pull.

On the page, one option advertised is for €23.53/month with an Intel Core i7-4770, 2 TB HDD, and 32 GB RAM. What’s the catch? How is it possible to rent such hardware for so cheap?

Though small, isn't convenience a benefit? I think a lot of new developers especially find it marginally easier to copy a script-tag.

No specification, but the linked website mentions that they “propose a syntax like "MECARD" for specifying wi-fi configuration” and then later: > Special characters \, ;, ,, " and : should be escaped with a backslash (\) a

The approach I have seen is to apply the cursor you want to the entire body using JS so even if your cursor momentarily escapes the element the wanted cursor is shown. You just need to make sure to revert back to the default cursor when the
