You can make the ultimate anti-short attention span player by intercepting all keyboard/mouse inputs to prevent navigating away and requiring you to watch the whole video ◡.

I was actually thinking of publishing them directly to YouTube, under a HackerTube channel, with playlists automatically generated and maintained by your existing curation pipeline.

Interesting project, but have you considered publishing the curated videos as automatically maintained playlists (organized by topic, popularity, or recency) on a YouTube channel?

To me the most valuable part of this is the curation pipeline. I'd love to have access to those recommendations without needing to adopt an entirely separate viewing experience.

I still remember when people realized the MacBook had a sudden motion sensor and used it to make lightsaber noises:

Curious to see all the new interaction paradigms people come up with now that we have something physical that can sense degrees of freedom.

A dumb one off the top of my head:

When reading a book with both screens open, have the outer display show the cover of the book, and closing and opening the screens together causes a page turn. (Unfortunately also a great way to rapidly wear out the hinge mechanism.)

Considering how many comments I regularly see on Hacker News from people who still love their M1 MacBooks, I’d say that’s not a particularly strong maxim.

True, but passports are one of the few readable objects I can think of that regularly get used in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

It was clever that they used the reference point of a passport. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone complain about passports being unwieldy.

(Not the most groundbreaking website, but I've found it an especially useful reference guide when trying to describe a UI/interaction to an LLM.)

I've recently been watching these dev logs for an update to the Bodycam FPS game and was impressed by the attention to detail with building out core systems.

(The game is trying to portrait a very realistic combat environment, so if you're sensitive to that you may want to skip.)

Continuing to work on WorkspaceOS (https://tryworkspaceos.com) in semi-stealth.

Smaller recent side projects: (1) Backchannel (https://github.com/twalichiewicz/Backchannel) -- A userscript that adds Hacker News, Bluesky, Reddit, & other's discussions into a single blended discussion thread to any site you visit. I've added lots of features (including a new blended homepage) since the original post, nI've been working on turning it into a working example of Webmentions & Web Annotations. Original Show HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49090607

(2) Typing Tennis (https://typingtennis.com) -- Tennis, but typing. You type two words: one to reposition yourself and another to return a hit. Playable against CPUs or friends, as well as a daily challenge mode. Original Show HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46695492

I started working towards this goal in the latest release: you can now add Reddit as a source, so now when you visit a URL it will check across all subreddits where it's been posted and give you a blended discussion made up from everyone's comments.
