Show HN: A simple fast search bar with the goal of replacing Windows Explorer
https://fritta.super.site/
Hey HN,

After struggling a lot with windows explorer and file management as it is, I've started to rethink how this should work.

The basic idea is that placing files in folders and navigating in them is not logical. People tend to forget where they placed specific files and they forget how they named them.

I would be glad to have your feedback on it and your opinion about file management problems.

Meet Quiet LA: A new open-source base map, and the lessons we learned making it
http://datadesk.latimes.com/posts/2012/11/introducing-quiet-la/
Today's Los Angeles Times features an investigative report that found wide geographic disparities in how quickly LAFD rescuers deliver aid in response to 911 calls. http://lat.ms/W8mXMy

It is accompanied by an interactive map that allows Angelenos to look up response times where they live. http://graphics.latimes.com/how-fast-is-lafd/

I work on the team behind the project. To coincide with the release we are open-sourcing our map's base layer, which was made using MapBox's TileMill. http://datadesk.latimes.com/posts/2012/11/introducing-quiet-la/

I'm posting it here because I'd love to share the lessons we learned making our own tile set and hear from the HN community on how we might improve it and our development methods.

Thanks,

Ben.

Tell HN: Hacker News Clone for iPhone Developers
http://news.dragosaurus.com/
It seems to me that there is enough interest in developing iPhone apps to merit its own little Hacker News clone. The App store has its own economics and community that overlaps HN but is a bit different as well. So here it is: "Apper News."

My hope is that it can be a place for intelligent discussion and a nice community for all of those developers out there hoping (to continue) to be successful at the App store.

Why Over The Top Messaging Is Mobile's Newest Monetization Platform
http://subprint.com/blog/why-over-the-top-messaging-is-mobiles-newest-monetization-platform
Text messaging. Remember that? Of course you do. You probably text people on a regular basis. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have benefited from this asynchronous form of short messaging for years and have collected hefty revenues from it as well. In fact, Portio Research estimates SMS revenues will top $150 Billion this year alone. But MNOs aren't they only ones benefiting. Texting has led to all types of uses beyond just communicating with another person; it has led to branded campaigns, voting and of course spam.

However, as MNOs start to enter the third phase of the sigmoid or S-curve growth model as service providers, SMS in many markets is starting to enter the detrimental "substitution" stage of decline where users are finding new, better and cheaper alternatives to SMS, namely Over The Top (OTT) messaging providers such as Whatsapp, Kik, Snapchat and even Facebook Messenger along with a seemingly endless array of other OTT apps. According to McKinsey, users in South Korea and The Netherlands have already tipped away from SMS where the move to OTT messaging apps is having a material impact on the MNOs SMS volumes and revenues. Essentially, people are texting so much less that it is impacting the MNOs' business.

We’ll be using two Sigma.js plugins, the GEFX (Graph Exchange XML Format) parser and the ForceAtlas2 layout.

Is Wordpress.com the most expensive blogging platform out there?

This is not a link-bait, I am genuinely wondering. The link takes you to a simplified summary at my blog. I am curious what people think in general about this as this was not the case with Wordpress.com just a few years ago. The thought came to mind as I notice Tumblr's success and the failing of other blogging platforms (let's also not forget the merging of Microsoft's blogging space with Wordpress not too long ago).

Show HN: Emery – Personal Productivity Workspace
https://emery.to/?
We're building an app that helps people manage their schedules, tasks, and notes all in one place.

The goal is to create a personal workspace where people can manage their days and weeks on a single screen, set their personal and professional priorities, access a single schedule combined of all their calendars, and navigate through their days without switching between multiple apps.

At the moment, we've implemented bi-directional Google calendar synchronisation, various types of tasks (e.g. daily, weekly, "until done"), and basic note-taking functionality.

Also, Emery has some things we really wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, group editing of overdue tasks, categories that can be used to group tasks/notes/meetings together, and weekly productivity reports.

Currently, it's a web app for desktop. A standalone desktop app is coming soon.

Happy to hear any feedback and answer any questions!

Show HN: Daily snapshot of Hacker News' frontpage
https://deja.de.hueve.ar/hacker-news.html
Hi there!

I'm trying to fight my bad habits of reloading news sites every 5 minutes while procrastinating work, so I've made this nightly snapshot of the Hacker News' frontpage consuming the API.

My intention is that the third day in a row that I get used to seen the same list every five minutes, I will start killing the (bad) habit.

It has a bit of (mostly irrelevant) text in Spanish because it's part of a larger site I'm building for this, but you can probably ignore that.

Under the hood, it's a simple Ruby script[0] that crawls HN's API and generates a static HTML - run every night in a Github Action that deploys to Github Pages.

Hope it's useful for somebody else out there!
