I wrote 500 words yesterday but the calendar date is still blue... any chance you can take a look @nickagliano? The text appears when I click on the date.
Founded in 2012, we’re a group of not-for-profit organisations and cooperatives focused on building a
new food system that is fair, local, and transparent.
We believe a sustainable and resilient food system needs to reconnect producers and consumers. We
aim to empower people and communities and give them the tools and knowledge to develop the food
systems they need for their community.
This is an open call for applications. After you fill in the form[0] you’ll receive an email inviting you to
contribute to the project on Github. Contributions on Github are a key part of our recruitment
decision making process - we recruit from our contributor pool.
Thanks for the kind words! That was definitely my intention with making this. It’s open source as well so let me know if you have any feedback or feel free to just fork/PR.
Has anyone else had the experience of seeing almost zero ads on Instagram since they introduced them? I can count the number I've seen on one hand. I marked the first couple, right after they launched them, as not relevant (they weren't) and since then I think I've seen two, one in the feed and one in their Stories feature.
Beeminder, as others have mentioned, handles #1 and #3 pretty well (minus the donation to the KKK part - the money for failing goes to Beeminder).
I built GTBee[1] using the Beeminder API which is pretty much #2. Again, the punitive thing is taking your money, starting at $5 and escalating from there.
This isn't to say that it wouldn't be a fun project to build things that do this though!
Lest anyone think this is exaggerated or linkbait-y, I've personally seen them do this, a lot. For example, a $100 gas purchase was immediately resolved using a method similar to what's shown in the video - had the number come up, $1000 would have changed hands (it didn't, much to my chagrin).
Just made two loans. I really love this idea and Zidisha does a great job of giving you all the information about the project and the person you're making the loan to. Congrats on the launch.
The URL is apt, since I parse it as "No, really, this is what it's like. So, really, you should do this".
Posting public updates, and having some way to commit to continuing to do so (whether it's Beeminder or something else that works for you) is something you should really do.
One design dilemma we ran into when building this out is the "username" endpoint. When a user grants access, the OAuth default is to just pass the token back to the client. But to access other endpoints, the client needs to know the username of the user that just granted access.
So we added the "username" endpoint, but weren't (and still aren't) quite satisfied with that as a solution. Have other API designers run into this same issue? Seems pretty common - would like to hear what HN has to say about it.
