I spent good amount of my summer holiday rebuilding Masterlist (https://masterlist.fi)

This is probably third (or fourth) incarnation of the app and I like writing a web apps with Hotwire more and more. Especially leaning more on features removes frontend complexity compared previous versions. Highly recommended, both Hotwire and rewriting your apps!

My "instant-flow" choices are Stellaris Soundtrack (Paradox Interactive) and Oblivion Soundtrack (by M83, Tom Cruise movie from 2013)

I'm a subscriber on Digitally Imported. It's know as DM.fm [1] nowadays but it's Digitally Imported to me since I started listening it in early 2000's :)

Hi! Yes, I am. All my grandparents were Sámi, herding reindeer in northern Finland and Norway.

Yes, as a Sámi, I'd be interested to know more, desperately ;-)

Create a invoice and print it. If you got to that site, first and only thing you get is the invoice form.

I like this article. If you are going to write more on the subject, I'd like to read how you handle uniqueness validations with FormObjects

I have given a lot of thought on this subject as well. I think the first few months will go nicely, putting money into savings and spending wisely. But I have a feeling that keeping up with the lifestyle is hard for most of the people. Your pace is frustratingly slow, and you really need to trust that the lifestyle you are living will pay off someday.

Just to scratch my own itch, I've built a finance independence calculator for my daydreaming needs

New comment by tuomasj in "Ask HN: Where do you get ideas to build side-projects?"

tuomasj — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:47:29 +0000

I made a new years resolution to build a side project that generates income. I have no problems of coming up with ideas, but I could improve my "launch-percentage".

Usually, when I get an idea, I start building it right away. When my mana runs out (typically in few days), I lose the interest and forget my new project.

This time I am trying to focus on things that helps me finishing and launching the project: - Keep the scope of the project as minimal as possible - Test one hypothesis at a time, if it validates, build another feature and launch it - Make sure to launch the project before the mana runs out

When the year is over, I'm hoping that I have a side project that generates income, I'm a better write and I have hands-on experience on internet marketing.
