It was… fine. There’s some great shots and action, and some interesting new ideas in there somewhere. But it does some meta level self aware bullshit that doesn’t work. Also, thinking back on it, there really aren’t many stakes to feel threatened by. And it leans way too much on the original trilogy. Like, there’s so much footage from the old ones… There’s a decent movie in there somewhere, I think. But they needed someone else not involved in the originals to wrangle the screenplay.

Is the work you’re doing for the Linux client also readying Windows support?

Thank you! There isn’t a way to submit directly, rather it searches via the vendors. The base data is via the iTunes Search API[0] which is surprisingly accessible. Then it tries to grab more data from the other vendors.

Originally, I built it so all access was programmatic, it never stored anything but rather just triggered API calls, a bit of scraping and a matching algorithm.

But it does have database backed models now so you could technically add releases directly. Although deduping might be a bit of a nightmare.

We do exist :)

Cheeky shoutout for my side project https://www.musictaco.co.uk/ which lets you find where to buy a digital album the cheapest online. You can track your favourite artists and it will email you when they release a new album too. Feedback welcome!

The last 2 companies I've worked at in the UK have used G Suite / Workspace and therefore Meet. It integrates well and runs well in the browser. No complaints here.

Thank you! Yeah, the ics / iCalendar part of it has a spec[0] and is reasonably easy to deal with. But Google, Yahoo and Outlook Web/Office 365 all have their own take on URL construction which can be painful!

The second link I mention has some JavaScript implementations, although I have not used them myself.

If you’re looking for an alternative approach, I built this Add To Calendar Ruby Gem[0] which generates URLs for all the common Calendar platforms. There’s also this reference repo[1] which helps explains how to build your own and lists some other libraries in various languages.

I used to do just that (check them manually) and so built this to scratch my own itch :) It used to have Google Play as well but they sadly moved out of the digital music purchasing space.

Regarding Discogs - I don't have any interest in physical media unfortunately so will leave that problem for someone else to solve.

https://www.musictaco.co.uk - Find the cheapest place to buy albums online (you can also track your favourite artists and it will email you when they have a new release)

To be fair, I built it primarily as a way to teach myself Rails, and in this regard it was a great success. But in the back of my mind I figured I might be able to make some affiliate revenue out of the traffic but it never took off.

It has failed so far because: it is a small niche (most people just use Spotify these days), I haven't marketed it very well and haven't found the niches where likeminded people hang out (building is definitely easier than marketing). I could definitely do more on the homepage to explain the features, particularly around tracking artists and being notified when they release new albums, but at the end of the day I just haven't been able to market it (nor did I spend a lot of time on this aspect of it). For a long time it only worked in the UK (an even smaller audience compared to the global market), although I did just roll out an update for it to work in the US, but have not done anything to advertise the fact.

Feedback welcome!

It would be good to show what the form builder UI looks like. The demos page shows the Output, but I can't see how to create these forms without creating an account. I am aware that other form builders have some capability to use conditional logic, so it would be good if you could show what's different / better - I expected to see the UI I would use.

Not OP but can only assume it's this one https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8760684/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 lots of new footage and a great documentary.

I’m using Cloud Run too and love it in principle and, mostly, in practice. I’m running a Rails app which takes about 30 seconds to start on Run (much quicker on a standard instance or local and I’m not sure why). My other gripe is that it will just randomly restart (not after being idle for some time but literally as I’m clicking around the website). There are no server errors and nothing I can see in the logs. Coupled with the fact that restarts take around 30 seconds it makes for quite a poor initial experience for my web users.

Equally, it’s a single English word, spelled correctly. It’s not unreasonable that someone else in the world purchased it in that time. And given GoDaddy has decent market presence it’s not unreasonable they purchased it through them.

I use Kiwi Conversations[0] for this which allows you to check HN, Reddit and others if you want.

The design of What Hacker News Says is really nice though.

On mobile Safari I can’t seem to long press on any links to bring up the menu for Open in background, Copy etc. At first I thought this might be a consequence of how the toolkit was built but it seems its standard Docsify behaviour. A callback to the old ‘disable right-click’ functionality in IE that thankfully newer browsers ignored.

I believe it opens in whatever your default application is for *.json files.
