Show HN: Keyboard-driven RSS reader for macOS

nonnontrivial — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 02:55:25 +0000

Ross is a minimal RSS reader for macOS which uses the hammerspoon API along with a .toml file to make your RSS feeds immediately accessible.

It has a few issues, like a display limit of 80 or so items at any given time, and configuration that could be more fleshed out.

Digital plumber with ≈ 7 years of professional experience in software.

I studied art in school but pivoted to computer science after realizing that audio engineering was an optimization problem.

I developed a way of reading sky brightness over the globe without a sensor.

I'd love to speak with you about your next project. Particularly interested in industrial/defense/energy spaces.

I've been working on the ability to read sky brightness without a sensor.

I've always been interested in stargazing, but had a curiosity about how "good" the stars I was seeing were relative to conditions in other places on earth.

I'm working to answer that by doing inference of the value a SQM would get you, but over H3 cells in a geojson file, and then reporting on the cell with the highest reading during the last iteration over the set of H3 cells.

New comment by nonnontrivial in "SpaceX satellites could blight the night sky, warn astronomers"

nonnontrivial — Tue, 28 May 2019 21:40:11 +0000

Wondering if these satellites follow a fixed path. If so, and there are few enough of them, the nextgen land-based optical telescopes will just have to factor this into scheduling.

Has SpaceX said anything about the paths they will follow? Can they change mid-deployment?
