• Looking for savable graphing methods

  First thought, play with MIT App Inventor https://appinventor.mit.edu/, they have dedicated blocks for graphing and cross-platform implementations of Bluetooth for Android and iOS. The data format is still up to you. Source: 11 months ago

• App for recording time periods

  Or you could go to https://appinventor.mit.edu/ and design your own custom app (no widget, though). Source: 12 months ago

• Easiest code to learn to make an app?

  If you want to make a mobile app you could try https://appinventor.mit.edu/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Trying to have a Ubuntu server I can turn on from my phone, log in as user, and start the Docker containers for my server. How do I automate this process?

  Maybe a raspberry pi that's on 24/7 connected to wifi and use that to send the wake over lan signal to the server? Arduino on the power pins also works, I did something quite similar but with a Bluetooth board, the code was really simple I just made an Android app with MIT app inventor that sent a signal to the hc_05 bt board, once the Arduino received that signal it shorted the power pin to 5v for half a second...

• Am searching for a partner who can help me with an app idea

  If your idea isn't complicated, have a look at MIT App Inventor. It literally is, drag-and-drop. That should get you started. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there any good tools for making a modern map?

  I have used http://maps.stamen.com to good effect. Source: about 1 year ago

• I finished my first film photography zine!

  Thanks!! It was actually pretty easy. I got the map background from Stamen Maps (free), and for the vellum overlay I just traced all the points by hand and wrote the title on with a metallic gold marker. Source: over 1 year ago

• Self Hosting a Google Maps Alternative with OpenStreetMap

  The barriers to adopting vector-everywhere are social and commercial, not technical. There are a couple great public raster services like osm.org's default style and http://maps.stamen.com. These are 100% free to use, so they get used everywhere, but incur significant expense to the organizations running (paying) for them. There aren't equivalent solutions in vector-land yet... I wrote a bit about this previously:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• A map zoom effect for a video I'm editing. Something I can improve?

  Thanks for the feedback. The map is from maps.stamen.com . When I re-watch the clip I also notice that the text is way to fast. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Why are maps so hard to make?

  The Stamen toner map may work well for you: http://maps.stamen.com/#toner/14/37.8024/-122.2645 Also checkout their watercolor rendering... Probably my favorite basemap that I never get to use. If you do use QGIS, you can get the Quick Map Services plugin that will connect you with these Stamen basemaps as well (and tons of other basemaps, a must-have plugin). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
