i stopped ordering delivery for the most part as i'd rather walk and get it than pay the markup. a lot of restaurants are either spinning up their own app with discounts OR are offering a discount for ordering directly thru them. and honestly, i'd rather a local restaurant get more profit than just cutting it over to one of the apps.

a month ago my wife wanted to order chipotle on a lazy sunday and it was $64 for delivery and only $31 when i went to stand in line and get it. unreal.

i loved the touchpad. it was def priced too high and when it dropped i bought some for my family. the OS was really nice and they really should have toughed it out and iterated more.

fantastic. i was about to make my own after being frustated with bruno's change in billing and just lack of quality.

having gone from postman -> insomnia -> back to postman -> bruno - id like to just have something simple that _just works_ without making it a pain.

looking forward to giving this a spin.

adding to this, they can't even pass an internal audit to account for where all that money is going. 7 years in a row they failed an audit.

i guess it depends! i've been collecting for at least 15yrs and i still keep it organized alphabetically and then chronologically. i always loved the idea of a 'high fidelity' type organization system though.

i started lemmy with a programming instance, as it's a bit more focused on what i want to see. on android i use an app 'Sync for Lemmy' which makes it a little easier when i want to branch out into viewing all of lemmy.

honestly, any platform these days is going to need a lot of filtering to cut out what you don't want to see

denvermullets — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 14:08:02 +0000

this is almost exactly how ive been using llms. i dont like the code complete in the ide, personally, and prefer all llm usage to be narrow specific blocks of code. it helps as i bounce between a lot of side projects, projects at work, and freelance projects. not to mention with context switching it really helps keep things moving, imo

Ask HN: When working with a potential cofounder, when do you share code?

denvermullets — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 19:01:30 +0000

earlier this year i built an app[1] and an ex coworker hit me up about trying to raise money on it or the idea. i was cool with working on it if we raised money but he's been pressuring me to give him access to the repo so he can make changes. when asked about what changes he'd make there's no response. he's also not really an engineer, so i'm kinda hesitant to just add him. i currently have a pretty detailed Linear board w/issues so i feel like if he wanted to suggest stuff he could add them there.

basically, i'm just trying to figure out if i'm the one being toxic or what. i have concerns about how we'd earn revenue and some other things so for all i know it's a fool's errand anyway.

you can see the embedded version here in a music forum[2] or scope out the app in general if you'd like to offer feedback, but that's probably not needed.

i would def appreciate any feedback or advice! thanks

i like to bounce between projects week to week and am in a huge phase of just trying to build services i pay money for.

the first fun thing i'm working on a roguelite(?) type of petsim in dragonruby for my wife and i to play.

then i'll go back to working on my mtg collection / deck builder app. instead of rewriting in nextjs i decided to just go modern rails with it and i am honestly having a lot of fun. a redesign helps too, but once you get the hang of turbo/hotwire and stuff it really isn't that bad.

another thing i've got kicking is writing up a portfolio site for my old photography since that current hosted plan is about to renew. this is more of a stability and performance issue as i really liked using Format, but every single time i go to show my port to someone irl i would either not load or take forever or have images missing. extremely frustrating.

i'm very tired of SaaS pricing going up (with unwanted features) and user experience and value going down. reallllllly fighting the urge to just build a clone and try to take a cut of the overall business.

some very cool projects here!

the app i use the most is a simple budget app, no connecting to external accounts. just built w/react and uses localStorage for storing info. i think i spent like a week on it and i definitely am the only one using it. https://simplebudgetcontrol.com/

another app i still use is an app that tracks my magic the gathering collection, ha. rails/react and lots of outdated frontend code that i started to refactor and then realized i'm the only one using it so who cares haha. https://www.99staples.com/collections/denvermullets/9

i just recently started working on my own event server in rails (similar in idea to mixpanel) and have it deployed for my portfolio site.

love starting projects and getting them rolling. i wish i could just work on stuff i cared about all the time honestly

This was pretty cool and I got the hang of it by the 3rd guess. It helps having that ? to read the rules again.

Colors are tricky but still a fun game
