Ask HN: Is there a symbol for the Hyper key?

mathieudutour — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:05:52 +0000

I was wondering if there is a well-known symbol for the Hyper key? I found used on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard but can't find why it was picked

Edit: Seems like HN doesn't want to render the symbol. I meant to display "BLACK FOUR POINTED STAR" U+2726

I've been working with SVGs for some time and always struggled to understand the path data syntax so I figured I'd build a visualizer for it.

Enter an SVG path data (the string inside the d attribute) to visualize it and discover all its different commands.

That's the point!

Wouldn't it be nice if GitHub could grab a resume.json from a user/user.github.io repo and customize the profile page?

While you're at it, grab a settings.json and update the GitHub settings (I kind of started doing that https://github.com/mathieudutour/mathieudutour.github.io/com... but the API is too limited)

New comment by mathieudutour in "Show HN: Timelense – Postcards, Reimagined"

mathieudutour — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 08:22:20 +0000

As some of you may know, I have been traveling the world as a digital nomad for more than two years. In the past two years, I have used Instagram, WhatsApp, iCloud photo albums, etc. to share my experiences with my friends and family. In fact, sharing pictures and videos of my travels by broadcasting across social media has become so easy that the process itself has become both addictive and mechanical - certainly not fulfilling, and more importantly - hollow and impersonal.

The value and meaning were lost for me.

This got my wheels turning. I want to share important updates with the people I care about. Social media is no longer built for connecting beyond likes and shares.

There has always been a special place in my heart for postcards, and social media updates just don't match the feeling of sending and receiving a postcard. They are a way of communicating that still holds value intrinsically - a physical reminder of connections I've made and the people I hold close to my heart.

That's why I still send postcards when I arrive at a destination. When I visit people, they show me the postcards they have received, and it opens up a conversation beyond what's on the card. We discuss life, our experiences, and our passions.

While I prefer postcards to social media, the biggest problem with postcards is the inability to share more than just a message. Postcards have the potential to be so much more than just a personal message - postcards should be able to share pictures, videos, and personal messages. But how?

With a sprinkle of magic, a touch of augmented reality, and a little help from friends - that's how!

Timelense is an app-based postcard design and communication platform, inspired by and built from a desire to share experiences in a personal way - to encourage meaningful sharing of 'status updates' with the people we love; a longing for a simple way to foster genuine connections beyond the pixels.

How it works:

1. Travel - and take some photos and videos while you're at it!

2. Use Timelense to create a postcard - customize it with pics and videos from your trip.

3. Once it's ready to send, we'll deliver your postcard for you.

4. When it's received, recipients can use the Lens within the app to activate and animate their postcard.

5. Voilà! The postcard will come to life with photos and videos.

It is true yes, that's why the generated blog have a canonical link to medium so that the SEO isn't impacted. So you won't get any SEO for the articles that have been created on Medium but if you create one on your blog first and then import it on Medium (using the import tool, not copy pasting the content), Medium will be nice and put a canonical link pointing to your blog.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to set a canonical link on Medium a posteriori.

Interesting, do you know if it's possible to export the content of a Medium publication?

Indeed, I'd love GitHub to support video embed in the readme, but having to go to another page to see the video is a bit of a no-no for me...

On twitter I did use a video instead of a gif: https://twitter.com/MathieuDutour/status/1134448154793914368

Totally, but that's what syndication is all about. The best is to have the original content on your own blog and then to cross post it to Medium, with the canonical link linking back to your blog. That way, if/when Medium is replaced by another platform, you don't loose your content and your have already build some SEO for your blog.

I've used the default MacOS screen recording (cmd + shift + 5) and then edited/speed up some parts with iMovie.

Then I transform the video into a gif using https://github.com/mathieudutour/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/mo...

Hope that helps!

New comment by mathieudutour in "Kactus: Design version control without changing tools"

mathieudutour — Sun, 25 Feb 2018 10:27:15 +0000

Yes maybe it's pooly phrased. I was trying to convey that, as opposed to pretty much all the other version control tools for designers, Kactus doesn't force you into a workflow. It's more an additional step that comes after, just like when you code, git is a tool that you use after.

Indeed, it's forked off desktop/desktop. And some of the work I've done on Kactus has been merged upstream as well, the image comparison for example.
