I'm working on Dronygon, a map of cool drone flying locations.

Well I just put it live couple of days ago, now I'm just starting to post my own locations.

Had this idea when I wanted to take my drone out but didn't know where to go. And as a plus I really wanted to learn more about working with maps and geolocation for an upcoming project, so this was a perfect way to learn it and make something useful.

Show HN: I made a recipe manager, import recipes by URL and get rid of the ads

Dealing with hundreds of recipe bookmarks was becoming impossible, needed a way to save them and organize them.

So I made a recipe manager, with the main goal of being simple to use and navigate. And it should look good on any device I happen to be using in the kitchen: phone, tablet.

Regarding pricing, I see it being free for most basic features, and having a Premium plan for more advanced features (like importing recipes from pictures or videos). Which means Premium would always be completely optional, not forced. Hopefully just £2.90 per month. But until there are more features, it's totally free.

I recently removed Google Analytics from my websites and set up the self-hosted umami (https://umami.is/) analytics. One of the best things about it is how fast it opens, while GA is so laggy.

This is one of my favourite things about working from home. I can take a power nap in the afternoon and be so much more productive when I wake up!
