New comment by sfaruque in "Show HN: Tweek Calendar – A minimal weekly planner and to-do list"

sfaruque — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 17:14:16 +0000

The web view looks great, with a "week planner" feel to it. I instantly got it and started adding some items to it.

But with the mobile and Mac app (haven't tried the iPad app yet), it shows a "list type" view (not sure if that's the correct term).

Are you considering adding a "week planner" view to at least the Mac app?

Thinking out loud if Apple would resort to making 2 versions of their iPhones? And then exclusively selling the USB-C version in the EU, and everywhere else giving the customers a choice.

Any chance you’ll be releasing this on SetApp too (like TaskPaper)?

> what we desperately need is not more no-code builders, but a robust, DB-backed builder with an object-based workflow, and with code-behind for custom workflow logic

I find the microwaves with dials just last longer, and they are usually cheaper. In my experience, the touch pads on the digital ones breakdown faster.

There used to be a site call ClerkDogs.com that probably had the best movie recommendation system I've used. You started off naming a few movies you liked, and it would provide a list of movies you'd also probably like, and it was very accurate.

From what I remember, the database was cataloged and maintained by actual humans, and not some algorithm following behavior patterns.

Idea for the developer to consider: Pro version generates a long list and checks if the domain name is available.

Just an observation: Why aren't Lyft's employees using Lyft's ride-sharing service to get to work?

I know that's not the point of the article, but if your company owns ~25% of the market share [1], wouldn't it make more sense to instead give your employees "Lyft credits" (or whatever it's called), and have them use the service on a near-daily basis.

Hi Gleb,

I'm about to sign up for the B2 Cloud Storage, just noticed a tiny typo in the "Keep costs down" section on https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html:

"...the fist 1 GB of downloads per day are free."

New comment by sfaruque in "Ask HN: Do you still use UML?"

sfaruque — Sat, 05 Nov 2016 15:11:26 +0000

If I must use UML, I prefer using Yuml (http://yuml.me) to generate them.

Easy to use, allows you to "code" the UML structure in a simple template language, and the output looks rather nice.

Any suggestions for something similar with CodeIgniter or even native PHP?

I'm getting transfer speeds of ~970KB/s (checking using iStat). Averaging nearly 1MB/s isn't bad, but I'm curious, could this go faster?
