As an owner of one of these pair of headphones, I'm trying to understand what this brings to my life? It's not clear why this app is specifically useful for sony headphones? The price seems quite high from what I can see it offers?

Hi! I've recently made a shade calculator specifically for climbs in North wales:

It's important for me to use accurate height-maps as (obviously) the terrain is very three dimensional.
Are you using the public LiDAR data as well?

Would just like to say thank you so much for this tool! Ended up finding a quieter park to watch the eclipse last night.

A while back I had the same feeling and hypothesised about a "nutriscore" for AI content in media:

I think AI images can enhance a blog article as long as the reader is fully aware and trusting that it's just the auxiliary material to the blog has been generated, not the main body of value.

It's the only domain I haven't let expire. It's been many things but now it's a digital garden! Lots of loose threads and random thoughts, all half baked haha.

I had a day-dream about nutrition labels for generative works, I made this site to feel it out:

A little cool tech detail, I didn't want a backend or to store the information of people's reports anywhere. To get around the requirement, I made the form deterministic and populated on load from a data stream of bits (form is made from booleans or bitfields) from a decoded base-64 query parameter. A cool side-effect of this approach is I can update the query parameter in the URL in real-time as you fill out the form so if you reload it remembers your form without any local storage or cookie use!

They're used quite frequently in the UK in bars/pubs where there are several people serving drinks and (I assume) there's some metric tracking by management on till use.

Woah! The world really works in mysterious ways. I've found myself thinking in this space a lot recently. I've been working on a pager that takes the notifications from my phone and relays only the ones I want to see. I use LTE-M/NB-IOT to get connectivity anywhere and the device works and I'm looking to find a way to get a pcd/case made..

A little word dump of thoughts at the start of the journey: https://launchbowl.com/e_ink_pager
Your project seems really cool and allows you to bring your own hardware. Out of curiosity, have you blocked all notifications on your phone? Would this be run on your computer? Would you ever move in the direction of a physical device?

Feels very similar to Digital Gardens - something I've been doing to hit all the same points! (Shameless plug to mine as an example https://launchbowl.com)
This product does provide a bit more of a structured approach without any of the self-hosting/coding difficulty which I think would have a wider market appeal.

This is the first time I've read this but have personal experience similar. A few of my single page, gone nowhere, projects are seeing ~2k views a month. They're seeing zero traffic through google in that same period so no idea where it's coming from?

This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently! My friends group all seem burnt out by the direction social media is going, with what you're building seeming like a better return to the norm. Will follow along to see your progress!
One thing that kept tripping me up when thinking about this was pricing - everyone is so conditioned to think that social media is free that this will be a huge hill to overcome. Your pricing, although I think if done right feels very fair, instinctively makes me recoil a bit.

If you don't want people to use the internals, why not make them `__private`?
Cool project!
