On my end, becoming a dad didn’t make me less ambitious, just more focused. I was vp of engineering at a Series A startup when my kid was born. It was a challenging job, but one that felt increasingly devoid of any meaning for me (maybe als

Congrats to the team! Fantastic editor, it really brought me joy after years of VSCode/Cursor. I love how it's crafted, you can feel the soul behind each decision. What I love: - the speed, of course - the high consistency between

Looks fantastic! Growing up on RollerCoaster (+Transport) Tycoon and SimCity myself, this is exactly the kind of project I'd dream about building, if only I had your dedication!

Never tried coderabbit, just because this is already good enough with Claude Code. It helped us to catch dozens of important issues we wouldn't have caught. We gave some instructions in the CLAUDE.md doc in the repository - with includ

I highly recommend trying Qobuz! Artists are paid more, the catalog is rich and comprehensive (I recommend to early users who might have felt a lack of content to give it another try, as it's now much richer), most albums are available

If any French people happen to come across this thread, I recommend visiting the Observatoire des Baronnies Provençales. I went there this summer and really loved the experience. We observed various astronomical elements (the sun, planets,

I live in Paris, the city with the most art house cinemas in the world. There are so much of them I have a hard time following what is showed every week. I made a simple crawler that looks at these cinemas and sends a digest of the week sch

I've developed my first video game ever in 2020 thanks to Pico-8 (and thanks to the COVID and the lockdown, too) I was impressed by how it was easy to learn. Once you understood that everything revolves around a big gameplay loop, you

Hello HN! Author here. I wasn't expecting so much comments! I would have chosen a less provocative title if I had known :) Just to clarify: I founded a company a few years ago from a side project I had started three years before, and t

Love it! Really neat. Even if landscapes are very urban, I like this feeling of driving that I don't really have anymore since I'm living in Paris. I'm often playing to Euro Truck Simulator just for getting out of the narrow

Hi, A few weeks ago, I shared on the quarantine side-projects thread my idea of a recommendation engine based on famous directors tastes ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23185673 ). At this time, I was procrastinating,

Thanks a lot moonfleet! Actually the reactions motivated me to complete at least a first version. I'm not a good frontend dev but the UI is important in what I want to do so I'm going to developing myself for now. But I'm kee

Awesome! All the reactions motivate me to finish at least a first version of my project, so I'm going to do it and then I'll be glad to share it with you! I'm going to try your trivia game too :)
