My favorite household NFC usage? NFC alarm clock. It makes me physically get out of bed and bring my phone to tap specific NFC tag somewhere around the house in order to turn off the alarm.

Hello there - I’m built and launched a new app called Growr - it's a marketplace for baby & kids stuff. As a parent myself, I’ve experienced firsthand how quickly our little ones outgrow their clothes, toys, and gear. It’s tough on the wallet and contributes to unnecessary waste. That’s why I created Growr, a marketplace specifically designed for buying and selling gently used baby and kids' items. My goal is to... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

Good article. I, too, am fascinated by calculators and how they work, especially the HP scientific RPN calculators. So much so, that I ended up developing this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limpidfox..... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

New to this so sorry if this is stupid. I've been trying to use https://plus.codes to try to check an address for availability at starlink. Whatever code I put in, it simply tells me afterwards "please enter an address or a plus code". That website seems to give me either a shorter or a longer plus code. Neither of them seems to make the starlink website happy. When I try putting in the address, it doesn't like... Source: over 2 years ago
