• Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns

  > Instagram is actively hostile to good ui. And that idiot, Zuck, thought he was getting a good deal when he poached former head of design, Alan Dye, from Apple. We were relieved to see him go. Our desktop OS is already making small improvements now that he's gone. Context: the guy doesn't understand fundamentals of UX and has made MacOS worse for years. [If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Glacier Mice

  At your service, I'm running this since 2020: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/ I also have a automatic bridge to Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@MostDiscussed If you have feedback please share it with me.

• Startup Shouldn't Have Merch

  Unusually I really like swag and I often wear it as a fashion statement. I still wear my Pinecone shirt and I recently bought a lot of shirts from Fox Racing https://mastodon.social/@UP8/117049900145791976 because they go humorously with my personal brand and if I can get people to laugh with me they are under the spell of this Huli Jing. The merch in that blog post though seems awful to me though. Like... - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• Ask HN: Dear LinkedIn, do you want to do business, yes or no?

  That government id thing is a joke. I get endlessly harassed to identify my identity with CLEAR, which I have no problem with in principle, but I have the practical problem that "it just doesn't work" and of course there is no helpdesk. I can't believe at all that a verified badge would make any difference in whether or not LinkedIn users would trust this person: https://mastodon.social/@UP8/117079988454949322. - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• The ethics of shooting people on the street

  My "street photography" involves getting consent at least 90% of the time but I practice an unusual form of "character photography" where I "go out" like this https://mastodon.social/@UP8/117049900145791976 to get people to smile. There are certainly the grey areas, like the time I was taking pictures of a race and somebody who wasn't in the race did something incredibly athletic and beautiful to (I think) avoid... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows

  I'm astonished by how far those aim trainer tools go haha, and how popular they are. I discovered Aimlabs[1] recently, which seems like the most popular one, and it has 6 000 people playing right now. For us keyboard geeks, there is monkeytype: https://monkeytype.com/ [1] https://store.steampowered.com/app/714010/Aimlabs/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• I got tired of re-screenshotting my app every time I made a change . So I built a workflow that does it for me.

  My app's theme engine (powered by Monkeytype) supports 190 themes. I'm working towards making the website available in all of them, which means every screenshot on every feature page needs a variant per theme. That's 50 screenshots across 13 features. At 190 themes, that's 9,500 screenshots total. And that number grows with every new feature and every new theme added. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• A Beginner's Guide to Split Keyboards

  I'm in the same boat as OP. I've used keybr and https://monkeytype.com/, and while doing the exercises, I get pretty close to the speed and accuracy I had using a standard keyboard and qwerty, but I get much worse on both fronts when typing in the real world. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• How I Grew My Open-Source Japanese Learning Platform to 10k Monthly Users and 640+ GitHub Stars (as a Solo Dev and Student)

  When I first started building KanaDojo, I wasn’t planning to build a serious learning platform or anything like that. I just wanted a simple, beautiful, free way to practice and learn the Japanese kana (which is essentially the Japanese alphabet, though it's more accurately described as a syllabary) - something that felt as clean and addictive as Monkeytype, but for language learners. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
