I'm a full stack Rails and React dev with 11-years of experience. Product focused, from wireframing and user stories I've helped companies through greenfield app development, rearchitecting existing apps, and maintaining legacy products.

In my free time I like making 3D-experiences and mapping GIS data.

This is so neat! Is there a debug mode where I could just fly around and examine the planet?

interesting that even though it’s such a cherished resource no one’s taken up the flag to complete it after all this time.

I've built api only. It would be sick if it were easier to sprinkle react/vue/svelte/whatever in your haml views if you only needed a little bit of interaction but didn't want to spin up a whole other frontend.

geçen yıldiscuss

Yeah but I wish in an alternate reality DHH chose a different route. If you go API only then you lose half of what makes rails great. It would be sick if you could render React/Vue/Svelte easily in your haml views and not have to have a js repo then figure out jwts and auth.

Dunno I loved rails, built monoliths, built api only, but when I tried sprinkling a bit of react in my views (say you only need a little bit of interaction, or want to use a react date picker) then theres all these sharp edges.

The reason I want it to be bigger is that user base helps the single dev, with help resources, up to date gems, and jobs.

geçen yıldiscuss

I think if Rails had focused on giving real first party support to interoperability with whatever frontend framework you brought to the table it would be so much bigger right now. They put a lot of work into Hotwire but I just want to use React, and I'm sure others want to use what they're familiar with.

My friend somehow made it through to senior year without ever taking a math class. To graduate the counselor put them in the cafeteria serving lunch, which somehow counted towards a math credit.

Public school in Hawaiʻi man.

I think it's a fantastic idea! Having met 90% of my girlfriends through dating apps, I've watched them all gradually morph into Tinder clones with dark patterns and steep monthly fees ($20-$50). It's terrifying to think you might never meet your future spouse because you accidentally swiped left on a touchscreen.

I used to really like OkCupid. Old school OkC reminded me of Bantr from Ted Lasso, it was more personality-driven. You'd answer hundreds of questions and see compatibility scores with people nearby. Even though that might be a questionable metric (I actually enjoy dating people different from me), it was interesting to sort by inverse and see who I was supposedly incompatible with.

What I love most about meeting through apps is how low-pressure it feels. There's no second-guessing about whether they're interested, if they're single, or worrying that you're bothering them. A dating app that actually tries to help people connect instead of sucking us dry through backtrack fees would be amazing.

I have no knowledge of the non-profit space, how would you initially fund something like that?

Any plans on adding prompt caching and message batches? I saved a lot of money with claude using both. Was making http calls in ruby.

Love this project!

Hello friends! 10+ years of experience at startups, marketing firms and research labs! I love building products and design interfaces and user flows to be as easy as possible for users, whether it's renting boats or defining custom encryption parameters.

Looking to work in-person (Honolulu) or Remote. I've worked hybrid at Oceanit and fully remote at Ubiq (San Diego).

In my spare time I've also been making 3D web experiments and small games, so if you need some interactive 3D for your solar field or housing development or an edutainment experience I'd love to work on it!

I'm also building a massive database of gluten free grocery products to help people with Celiacs and gluten intolerances find replacements for their favorite foods.

geçen yıldiscuss

I have celiacs, so I'm making a database of every single labeled gluten-free product in grocery stores. (I have 8,858 products across 243 grocery categories).

GF products are expensive and hit or miss, I really wanted something where I could keep track of my favorite items. I also want to let people rank them, so maybe I can discover the best gluten free hamburger bun (Rudi's Brioche), or beer (Glutenberg Blonde).

I'm also making a user submitted recipe section, so say you want to recreate a Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco, it's easy to link to the products you need.

I'm not sure where this project is headed but I couldn't find any jobs working in this space so decided to make something to help myself.

I really liked "The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder". It's very well researched and pieced together from conflicting accounts.

After I was finished I decided to look up the author and found out he wrote "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "The Lost City of Z", both of which I really enjoyed! If you like books like Endurance, Unbroken, or A Land So Strange, you'll dig this one.

https://hidden-inu.vercel.app/ All it does is open a little flap in the page where there's a 3D dog. There's some sound effects on desktop.

https://github.com/jpwhitaker/candidCamera , its a QR code that when you scan it, it takes a photo of you from across the street and displays the picture on your phone when the page loads.
