Show HN: VSCode Extension to toggle between string cases

wscourge — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 08:03:32 +0000

I made a VSCode extension to toggle selected string(s) between camelCase, snake_case and kebab-case.

Works with multiple cursors. I use it on cmd/ctrl + ;.

Inspired by a similar extension to toggle between quotes ("/'/`).

Show HN: I made GarWin, a free and user-friendly Garmin Badges database

wscourge — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 10:49:34 +0000

Hey HN.

I am, sadly, ill-equipped for sports and gamification gets me going, so when I discovered that my GF completed almost all related challenges since she got a Garmin smartwatch, I naturally wanted to browse all badges.

And the UX was crap. Very little filters and no way to browse the past badges.

So I figured-out how to get the data - a little over 1k badges in total so far - and then I manually fine-tuned it, to later add more filtering options, whenever related.

It is built with Next.js (on App Router) and Supabase's DB and PostgREST.

I thought I'll share: it is all free to use, and I hope those silly challenges help others stay fit, get in better shape or just enjoy sports and accomplishments.

Cheers, Vik.

What is better: yes / no radio, or simple checkbox?

I went there once and found something useful. Kudos.

Cool one, especially for kids. It'd go well with naming the capital city, too.

That's pretty dope. I'd happily read more detailed case study of this. Don't mean to be pushy, just encouraging

I went there today accidentally. My personal favorite one:

I have an automation that is triggered by a door open/close sensor that I have attached to the flushing arm in my toilet with a custom made 3d printed mount for the sensor, which triggers a script on the server which connects to the chromecast speaker in the bathroom and plays the final fantasy 7 battle victory theme whenever someone flushes the toilet. It is perhaps my favorite part of my home.

For unrelated reasons it got me thinking of Mark Zuckerberg telling Joe Rogan how they left only the hand (and not the whole arm) in their VR, as it was enough.

Random thought.

I was looking at both of them for probably a little too long, and I can't see it.

ELI5: why do I need to upload the preview? Is it for some reason impossible for you to downsize the high-res pic? Is there a manual step required of me to take after?

What am I missing here, why not have just a single high-res pic upload?
