very nice! I'll give it a shot! I thought about something similar in the past few years. I like the fact that you insist on "no social pressure" and a "gentle" nudge. The goal is not to make the user feel bad :). I also like that you make me import just a small subset of my contacts, to not feel overwhelmed right from the beginning (start small! make it work then make it better).

some quick feedback: - I feel a more natural path to add an "extra checkin" would be from the "flower" in the garden (home page). - I would love to be able to add a date in the checkin. Let's say I know the person I just checked in with told me she has an important event coming up (exam, interview, work deadline, baby...) I'd love to be able to add a specific date for a future checking on a specific topic.

  Slow down, you crazy child
  You're so ambitious for a juvenile
  But then if you're so smart
  Tell me why are you still so afraid? Mm
  Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
  You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
  You've got so much to do
  And only so many hours in a day, hey

  But you know that when the truth is told
  That you can get what you want or you can just get old
  You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  Slow down, you're doing fine
  You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
  Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
  Too bad, but it's the life you lead
  You're so ahead of yourself, that you forgot what you need
  Though you can see when you're wrong
  You know you can't always see when you're right
  You're right

  You've got your passion, you've got your pride
  But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
  Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  Slow down, you crazy child
  And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
  It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  And you know that when the truth is told
  That you can get what you want or you could just get old
  You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
  Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

same here, I was looking for a tool that does exactly that a few weeks ago. Ended up just comparing 2 google maps with same zoom level, but it's not practical at all. Open to any suggestion you may have!

Hi cschiller, I think we can help you with those issues at Waldo. I guess you are using Appium under the hood to get the UI hierarchy. At Waldo we developed a competing (proprietary) engine that solves a lot of Appium problems.

We provide the most accurate view hierarchy for mobile apps (including React Native and Flutter apps), and we do it under 500ms for each view.

I would love to get in touch: at e.de-lansalut [at] tricentis.com

Here is an example of what we are able to do: https://share.waldo.com/7a45b5bd364edbf17c578070ce8bde220240...

I think we can claim that at Waldo.

Check for yourself: I've just recorded this [1] scripted test on the wikipedia mobile app, and it yields this [2] Replay. In less than a minute we spin up a fresh virtual device, install your app on it, execute the 8 steps of the script.

As a result, you get the Replay of the session : video synchronized with interaction timeline, device & network logs, so you can debug in full context.

hahaha this one is TOUGH !

Maybe instead of coding, you should consider building a personality. Good luck with that!

Hi Eric, congrats for the launch!

I'm curious, do you recommend any E2E test framework for Flutter? The idea behind hot pushing is releasing more often, for which you become more confident if you have some testing involved.

I'll make a shameless plug for my product (you don't get an opportunity to reach out to the Flutter founder every day!). I waited till the page was out of the front page to avoid looking like I was riding your show hn.

We claim we have the best support for writing and running end-to-end tests for mobile apps, and Waldo stands out in terms of compatibility with hybrid frameworks like RN or Flutter (where Appium support is poor). How can you tap on a button if your test framework doesn't "see" it?

We are releasing a new offer to run local test scripts on cloud devices, which has many benefits: https://dash.readme.com/project/usewaldo/v2.0/docs/getting-s... . By any chance, if you want to know more, I'd be glad to offer additional credits and even honored to do a personal demo (this holds for all HNers!)! My email is in my profile.

I have troubles understanding what's the value added by Yattee if it's only a "front end", while piped already claims it's a front end for YT. Can you help me get a clearer understanding ? I'm interested in ditching YT in favor of a privacy friendly / ad-free alternative.

Same here. I was astonished when I realized the device could very consistently "spot" when I have been drinking alcohol. It made me realize the effect of alcohol on the body are very measurable, and lasts multiple hours after your last drink.

hundreds of FAANG interviews

hundreds??

So that's at least 200. Assuming you interview for the 5 FAANG in parallel, and you have, let's say 5 rounds per application (and you do reach the 5th). You would have done the whole process 8 times. Assuming they let you apply only once per year, that means you have interviewed at the very least every year for the last 8y. okay.

Very nice project, congrats! How does it perform on rough seas? How tolerant is it to the state of the surface? I expect you have big restrictions on the size of the swell.

Control your fan speed with your heartbeat.

I created this while setting up a home trainer for bike training in my garage during the lockdown in 2020. One issue with home trainers, unlike biking outdoors, is that you don't get the benefit of the wind generated by your speed that cools you down. So you sweat a lot, and this creates dehydration. Not cool (pun intended).

The solution is to use a fan. But when you are lazy (and focused on your workout) you don't want to have to get up and adjust fan speed (and I don't have a remote for my fan, and it's much cooler to have it automated instead).
