I'm trying to improve the UX of my time-zone converter. I started with my dedicated converter pages, like /est-to-ist. The goal was to make it easier to identify which times are best for scheduling meetings:
It's a minimalist time zone converter. The real value add, in my opinion, is that it lets you look up multiple locations and add them all to list that updates in real-time. I built this a few years ago but I made a bunch of UX and quality of life changes recently. I have metrics around usage but I would be curious to chat with some users to get their take on how it can be improved.
I built a competitive rock paper scissors game. It's got ranks, match-making, and a leaderboard.
A competitive rock-paper-scissors game. Something where replay-ability is high and low barrier to entry. I have completed most of the core features that I wanted and now I'm fine-tuning things, fixing bugs, etc...:
It was a game changer once I realized you could over the net. Super fun game!
I built a simple PDF invoice generator a few months ago. Been polishing that up recently: https://invoiceden.com/
Trying to scratch my own itch by creating (yet another) todo list site. It's more for me than anyone else. I typically use a simple text file to track my tasks in a day but I wanted something just a little bit more. Still minimal but maybe 1 - 2 steps above editing a file.

I agree that consistently shipping "impactful" work is vital for getting to staff. And "impactful" changes from company to company.
What was your takeaway from having these days? Did you have a different mindset going into the week?
- Wake up (preferably no alarm)
- Do 1 set of pushups. As many as it takes to get to failure
- Brush teeth
- Fill up and drink full water bottle, 21 oz
- Eat protein bar
- Start reading through emails and creating todo list for the day
I recently built a simple tool for comparing timezones and I'm currently trying my hand at SEO to try to get more traffic.
To ensure these systems are 100% secure, equipment in the Brazil data center was returned to the manufacturers. The manufacturers’ forensic teams examined all of our systems to ensure that no access or persistence was gained. Nothing was found, but we replaced the hardware anyway.
The thoroughness is pretty amazing
Reminds me of Pushbullet back in the day
Nice! 5:28
Might I interest you in https://currenttimeutc.com/. This creates shareable dashboards with different cities, timezones, and airports.
Out of curiosity, would you prefer to see all the options laid out so you can quickly scan which ones would be optimal? Or would you prefer to click a button and then it just schedules the meeting for you?
Very cool! I like how you use a slider to update the times.
Shameless plug for my own site that does something similar: https://currenttimeutc.com/
Good to know! How do you go about promoting your tools? Is it also through your existing content network?
That's a good idea. I've considered that but my game is more similar to Wordle where it's a daily word game. It doesn't really fit in with the other games that streamers typically play. But if the goal is to simply get the word out, promoting it on a few streams might be the way to do it.
Do you feel like doing the content is worth the ROI? I would basically be starting from zero and from what I've heard, it's a lot of effort to go from 0 -> 1.
Agreed. But this can be tough if you don't already have an existing following. I was thinking of including something like a "Change log" on my site where when I launch a feature, the user gets a pop-up that says something like "Here's all the things that we launched while you were away".
Complete Pages outage for me. I have several sites hosted on Cloudflare Pages and I can't access any of them, they're all returning 500's.

A daily emoji + charades game where users are shown 3 emojis and have to guess the word.
With regards to gameplay and being a "daily" game, I drew inspiration from Wordle: https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html
I've been using Cloudflare pages for the past few projects. It's fast to prototype and to get a quick proof-of-concept deployed and working.
Very cool talk! I recently made a word game and will be applying these principals.

Thanks for the heads up! I tried to ensure the first letter was not capitalized in the input field but didn't add the validation. I just pushed a fix for this and the game should now recognize you as a proper winner :)
Is there an example one step above "Hello world" that new users can take a look at? There are a bunch of guides for different API's / constructs but I'm wondering if there's a canonical example to get started.

Yeah that sounds like what I was thinking of, thanks!
Is it possible to use this technique for compression? For example, if we created a dictionary of the most commonly used words / phrases, then we could drastically reduce space. You would still need to store the dictionary but that's a one-time cost.
