This feedback has been really great and detailed, just what I was looking for!
- I've added an option in user settings to turn on a 'Skipped' stack.
- Card titles should now all be clickable!
- It's now more obvious that you need to upload a PDF before you can use the AI summary (because the LLM has to read the PDF).
- I've made a dedicated page to see all your tags just like you already have with stacks. You can't reorder them yet but hopefully I will add that soon.
- Export and search are coming soon!
- I'm thinking about your other suggestions, thank you!
That's a very good point. I've just put up some screenshots on the landing page - it's not a demo to be fair, but at least you can see what using it might look like!
I'm so sorry, I've been doing some digging and I think there's a bug in the way the libraries for this particular board implement a WiFi server! It seems to crash quickly with even minimal code. I'm going to go back to the drawing board and see if I can set up an Ethernet-based server on an Raspberry Pi Pico - they're a bit more battle-tested. I'll let you know in a week or two when Solar Witch is back online!
You're right - this was my impression too! You read a few dramatic posts about being hugged and you get this idea that HN is a behemoth that DDoSes everything it loves. Thanks for the context!
Not as far as I can tell! Absolutely ashamed to say I did it because it looked cool. I did manage to get the dithered GIF down to 7KB, but I think I could have done the same with a limited palette and no dithering.
That's a really interesting point and one I hadn't considered! I'm reverse proxying it through a larger server on the home network which is public-facing, and that server automatically slaps HTTPS on whatever it sends out.
Well, granted, no doubt, but my poor little server routinely crashes after a few dozen connections, and exposing it to HN was the first time it experienced that many. Something is clearly amiss!
There's no better stress test than Show HN, and unsurprisingly, that's revealed that Solar Witch has a buffer overrun bug somewhere which I'm investigating! If Solar Witch is currently offline, here's a screenshot of what it might look like: https://ttm.sh/ix3.png
I'm OP, and this was in fact my response to my question! Everyone else is suggesting these wonderful grandiose economic and social changes, and I just want a strongly typed (or, hell, even a little bit typed) Internet...
For a while now, I've been working my way through the reasons why I don't like the current state of social networking with a series of little social coding projects. Pond is the latest one - it's sort of like a newsletter, sort of like a patently simple social network.
A lot of my trouble with social networking comes from the anxiety of the 'feed', and with Pond I'm trying to find a balance between the constant stream of information and, uh, absolute silence.
You send Pond your posts (Markdown-equipped), and once a week you get back two digests: one digest with every post sent that week, and one digest with the posts of the people you've chosen to follow. That's it!
It's just a very little Node thing I made in a serious bout of procrastination, but I'm surprised I've not seen anything like it around before - general, quick to use, easy to share, doesn't try to snoop on you. I'm sure it already exists in lots of forms, and I'd love comments and criticisms because it's one of the first things I've really coded (which is mildly exhilarating).
