I submitted a somewhat similar project yesterday to Show HN (didn’t resonate), although mine is purely based on AI scoring, with zero community features. I call it bubblewire. Funny. I had no prior knowledge of bubbles.town until seeing it

Yes. I run a niche webapp[1] that extracts exif and xmp (Lightroom edits) from images. At one point I tried to write my own exif parser. It's not that complicated, but very quickly you'll run into weird legacy, vendor-specific nua

I have a TODO.txt and it’s the only productivity system that I’ve ever been able to stick with. Just a list of stuff I need to do, what’s done gets moved down or deleted. Maybe there’s value in having an archive (a DONE.txt?) but I’ve found

You make some good points. What I was trying to say is that even though there is the RFC, it's quite common to modify the alphabet or use other variants like Crockford's (mainly to avoid random profanity, e.g. in the URL identifie

C in Polish is pronounced as ts/tz and 'ck' is an interesting case in Polish-American surnames: American pronunciation turns 'ck' into 'kk' and Polish speakers will often have a hard time recognizing the o
