Show HN: Simple and Effective jQuery Note-taking Web-app
http://matthewhardnack.com/perfectnote/
Basically I needed something to record my inventory of ideas/thoughts but I got tired of other bloated/messy, slow, overly-complicated note apps, so I decided to make PerfectNote. It took a total of about 28 hours.

I thought I'd share it with HN and see if others were interested in using it, enjoy.

Ask HN: What time tracking software do you use?
I'm personally really dissatisfied with the state of existing time tracking tools (especially for developers), so I'm building a better solution. I'd like to get the HN community's feelings on the issue.

1.) Do you (or your company) track time at all? Why or why not?
2.) What do you like/dislike about your current time-tracking software?

Hands-on with Synaptics' force-sensitive touchpad
http://techreport.com/articles.x/23432
Next year, Synaptics' ForcePad will bring pressure sensitivity to touchpads. It can track five fingers independently, each with up to a kilogram of effective force in precise 15-gram increments. We got our fingers on one and were impressed by its potential. We also checked out Synaptics' upcoming ThinTouch keyboard, which melds innovative switch tech with a side order of capacitive touch, and captured the low-latency ClearPad Series 4 touchscreen on our high-speed camera.

Show HN: Frenemy.live, Matching People for Voice Calls
https://www.frenemy.live
Hi HN, long time reader but first time poster.

I've been working on frenemy.live since I first started wfh some time back and realized how isolating it could be. With some inspiration from podcasts, Discord, Omegle and a reality tv show I came up with the idea of matching people for voice calls based on their opinions. These opinions are based on custom statements that I have thought of but are definitely not set in stone and I am open to suggestions. My hope is that frenemy.live facilitates respectful conversation and maybe leads to lasting relationships.

So about the technical stuff, the app is written with Elixir and Phoenix with a little NodeJS. I chose this stack after looking into Elixir's fault tolerance and capacity for concurrency, its pub-sub features (which really came in handy) and Phoenix LiveView.

Constructive feedback is more than welcome and I hope you like the app. (Please don't give it the kiss of death)

Oh I have also created this discord in case any hiccups happen and people need to find each other. Or you want to report any bugs.

Shown HN: Non intrusive location sharing
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xconcepts.findme
Having had this idea before both Apple and Google released Find My Friends and Latitude, respectively, I thought it would still be an interesting experiment to release this simple location sharing app now to see if it catches any traction. While I feel totally comfortable using services such as Latitude to share my location, most of my friends find it far too intrusive. This app tries to bridge the gap by providing the same service but leaving the user 100% in control of who sees their locaiton. What do you think?

String declaration in iteration
Hi there,

This morning a was writing a piece of code and it made me wonder what the best possible way is to write this code.

Because a string is immutable in .NET, is it really that bad to create a new instance for each iteration?

Your thoughts on this please.

My Demo: batBack (flash)
http://www.batback.net/home/batBackDemo2.html
Here's a product I was working on two years ago. Back then, it was a great time to develop, create a company, and get into the market. Right now it looks like the market has caught up to the idea, but I was wondering if people thought there still was some value in it?

I was going to add drag-and-drop and a lot of other toys to the UI. User response was good for the few months we were live, although since I didn't have a partner and lived in a rural area, I ran out of funding before I could grow it enough to break even. So -- is it still valuable? Should I look into finding partners for it now, funding, or perhaps licensing the technology? What's the verdict?

Ask HN: Tracking Covid-19 specific sympthoms on Google Trends?
Hello everyone, I'm from Bergamo (Italy) and we were some of the first in the western world to experience the pandemic.

I had COVID-19 in a very light form and I know personally lots of others that had the disease. Here in Bergamo we soon realized that most of those infected suffered from anosmia (loss of smell) and/or ageusia (loss of taste) after the fever starts and lasting around 10 days.

After it happened to me I couldn't taste or smell anything, coffee had no taste, even the trash had no smell, so I jumped straight to DDG to search for those really strange symptoms. Then I thought that such an odd symptom could be used to track where the disease is expanding.

Here you can see how those search terms are outliers right now:

IT - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=IT&q=perdita%20gusto%20olfatto

EN - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=taste%20smell%20loss

Here the data of the last 30 days:

IT - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&geo=IT&q=perdita%20gusto%20olfatto

EN - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&geo=US&q=taste%20smell%20loss

The Italian data fits quite well with the reported incidence and it also looks quite good for the US data.

My question is: do we use that kind of data to track COVID-19 or other diseases with very specific symptoms? What's your take on this subject? Should we invest more? Privacy concerns?

Thanks for reading!

Long gone are the days where VB.NET & ColdFusion drones were telling me that "my" language is a toy for graphic designers.

I'm all for any "rebranding" efforts.
Ask HN: How can I onboard myself in my new company?
I've been working for a tech startup for 2 months. Things currently going very well for the company. The company is growing with investments. They started employing new ones.

The product excites me. However, there is a problem, I feel inactive.The reasons that makes me feel inactive are:
- They don't apply scrum. (They just do dailies and retrospectives, however scope changes during the sprint and we don't make estimation points for our tasks.)
- Tasks are just one sentences on our scrum board, no explanation for any task.
- Product manager and team generally talk during lunch and breaks and decide what to do and how to do. I can't follow them all the time.
etc.

I try to express myself in retrospective meetings however, it feels like I am just the man who criticizes and judges the team. It seems like they feel comfortable about that, but they never apply anything more, it goes how they do before. We don't apply decisions we made in retrospective meetings.So it also effects me mentally. I feel insufficient and can't express myself self-confidently. It effects my personal life very bad. I've been a pessimist.

I don't want to leave my job, because I love the product and the c-level people.So what I supposed to do in a situation like this?
Ask HN: Recurring (but not periodic) User Payments?
I am thinking about a project where users could rent items (e.g. expensive electronics or watches) for limited time for a relatively low cost, but would agree to be charged for the full value of the item if it is not returned within x days (think Rent the Runway, or Netflix after a user cancels an account). Is there a simple and elegant service that allows for this kind of payment pattern? PayPal Subscriptions seems to work fine for automatic recurring payments, but not subsequently allowing you to charge a user if something is not done. Would this require a bespoke solution?
