Hi HN! I'd really love your feedback on this. I've been using and building Signboard for about 6 months now. I use it every single day and love it for managing my personal and commercial projects.
It has MCP and CLI so using it with Claude or Codex is super fun and easy.
Any questions, please let me know! And please any new ideas send them my way. Thank you!
I think you're right. The point they were trying to make is that there is more separation between the subject and the background. So, in a way, an _improved_ DOF if not a _greater_ or _shallower_ DOF.
Quick HN question... I posted this as well (prior to this post) and it was "flagged"? I titled mine "Twitter is down hard". Perhaps my titling made it seem like I was trying to be mean or something? As a developer, I was trying to convey that it was very much down across all apps, sites, services. I thought that was the proper parlance but perhaps not.
After playing Wordle for 90 or so days in a row I got the itch to build my own word game. I began with a simple word scramble, added a few family members, and have iterated on the game until the point you see now.
I called it Stupid because I thought it was a stupid word game.
Stupid allows for two backspaces and two guesses. Once you burn your guesses you’re done (even if you haven’t used your backspaces yet). It takes a few days to get it (which is likely due to my poor game design skills).
I built Stupid by handcoding JavaScript without any use of frameworks. The JavaScript isn’t very good - and I know that - but I’m totally open to critique and feedback. Please do not hold back.
There is no server side component, no tracking, no analytics. My best guess, due to Digital Ocean’s graphs, is that there have been a few thousand players so far. But I cannot say for sure.
If you do play, please play at least a few days in a row. And please give me feedback. I’m eager to improve it.
Totally agree. There are other companies, though, that have people staffed for the work and they do not do nearly as good of a job. I shall refrain from naming names. :)
I agree. Most companies, open source projects, and individual developers find this to be a Herculean challenge. I'd love to know if Stripe has any secrets to keeping their Docs updated. Though, my gut says that they likely just put in the work. Their Docs are incredibly important to their success.
Stripe's Docs have been best-in-class for a long time. Obviously, the care and human hours they put into their upkeep is the main reason for the Docs being so good. But, as with any creative endeavor, the tools matter. If the Stripe team didn't like the content management system they used to keep the Docs up-to-date they'd be less likely to do it. As someone that has used their Docs for hours and hours and hours I'm thankful to their team for how good their Docs are.
Very cool of them to open source this. Looks great.
