1. Yeah definitely not clear what's going to happen when you click "start interview". I'll edit the description to be clear what you're getting.
2. Definitely need to be clear on what's saved/retained.
3. Totally missed that and now I can't unsee it. Something wonky going on w/ text area. Taking a look
I’ve been frustrated time and time again with Google Drive’s clunky UI and search ability to find relevant docs and files, especially when projects have taken on different names.
Sortado is a chrome extension that adds a sidebar to your Google doc to make it faster to organize and find files. We’ve been using it at our company, and I wanted to take the product and make it available to others. I took notes from Notion’s sidebar, but I honestly just prefer the UI and accessibility of Google Docs, so wanted to customize it to make a better experience :)
I'm actually the current owner of this repo!! I started it because I love working with unofficial APIs for fun hacks that improve my life. During college, I had an alert that told me when the Krispy Kreme donuts were fresh built off an unofficial API that promised enjoyable donuts.
If you're interested, I have a newsletter to update you when new repos are added https://forms.gle/e8nCivpTBNftNtgGA and to feature interesting stories from the community.
Please don't use multiple accounts to promote things on HN. The community feels extremely strongly about this and will bring out the Searzalls and use much less kind words than "using multiple accounts to promote things".
I'm going to leave the submission up because it struck a genuine chord with people, but that's a lucky escape. Normally, the likelier outcome is bannage.
py-imessage is a lightweight library you can use on your mac to send iMessages.
It was originally started to build an API for iMessages which anyone could pay for; however, Apple has fairly aggressive detection policies that make it difficult to scale.
One of my favorite hackathon projects was using an unofficial Robinhood API (https://github.com/sanko/Robinhood) to ask Alexa how a current stock was doing. If it had increased over the last year, I would ask Alexa to "purchase X shares of X stock".
Writing joke apps is a fun way to try out a new programming language and laugh about it.
Yes. There's a mac mini running which directly interfaces with the Messages app and underlying data storage. There's been a few synchronization problems, but for the most part the Messages platform is fairly robust. Unfortunately, there's a couple sleep statements that I had to write in for the short term, but there's a path to removing them in the long term.
Hey HN, proud to share balto, an API to send iMessages from a new phone number. I originally built this out to take advantage of the iMessage features (specifically read receipts and videos) after sadly learning that these features are severely limited when using Twilio or other SMS providers.
From there I went down a crazy rabbit hole, talking to apple support, shopping on eBay for an old iPhone, digging through poorly documented JXA (javascript to control your mac), and eventually landing on a MVP which today supports sending new iMessages from a custom phone number and looking at read receipts (if the other party has them turned on); with many more features on the way (think full videos, audio recording, tapbacks, group chats, etc.)
Love this community and the valuable feedback y’all provide!
I'm flexible on monetization patterns for now, but if this were to take off, I'd imagine it'd be some sort of team-based pricing for teams heavily using it and introducing a collaboration-first experience.
