Ask HN:  Marketing experiment
I've heard a couple different people mention blogs where they pay someone in the Philippines to write content. The blogs run Adsense or something similar. These don't bring in tons of money, but they are profitable if marketed well.

A friend and I found this a little ridiculous. We wanted to give it a shot. 1) It would improve our marketing skills, and 2) it would make an interesting story. We wanted the site to be relatively worthless, content-wise, but still be able to gather a following.

We came up with an idea that wasn't completely worthless though. Our blog is music recommendation service, focusing on good songs to wake up to in the morning. Revenue would be through affiliate advertising for the songs and Adsense.

We launched our blog, wakeuptomusic.com, about 2 weeks ago and we have really struggled to attract a following. We've focused mainly on using social media to attract followers, which hasn't brought a lot of traffic so far.

I wanted to ask the HN community for any ideas you might have on how to market something like this. We're looking at some interesting ideas with Twitter, like a iTunes giftcard raffle, crowdsourcing posts (the post will be the top tweets about the song, instead of one we right ourselves), etc.

What are some standard practices in marketing a blog like this? What are some crazy left field ideas that might work? This is above all an experiment and an exercise, where we have an uphill battle marketing a semi-useless blog.

Thanks!

Show HN: Shorter Shower – Save water and time
https://shortershower.com/
TL;DR;
This free mobile application helps you take a shorter shower by keeping you focused. This is done with routines comprised of activities (shampoo hair, wash body, etc). When the routine is started, the app will tell you which activity you should be doing. Download the application and let me know what you think. Always looking for feedback. Thanks!!

Please up vote on Product Hunt:
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/shorter-shower

Longer version:

My brothers and I took after my father in a lot of ways. One of the biggest was taking very long showers. When I moved to California, it was frowned upon to take a long shower due to it wasting water. I tried to take shorter showers but I kept zoning out. All of a sudden, 5-10 mins went by and I hadn't done anything yet.

To solve this I tried setting timers, counting to myself, and a number of other ways. I realized the only way that I could consistently take a shorter shower is if something told me what I was supposed to be doing. That is when I created shorter shower. The app allows you to create activities (shampoo hair, wash body, etc) with an expected duration. You can combine the activities into multiple timers/routines. When you start the timer, it will change the volume of your phone to a predefined value so you can hear it over the shower noise. It will then audibly tell you what you should be doing when. It will stop the timer automatically when you are on the last activity and you turn off the shower. When the timer is done, the phone volume will be reset to its previous value. This app helped me go from 12 min showers to 5 min showers very quickly.

A few notes about data. Activity and timer data is stored on the phone. I send water usage metrics to a server but do not include user information. This is mainly to answer the question, how much water are people saving / using each day. I also use GA to track user interactions.

I became sick of the obvious frustration of navigating through privacy settings; which are always a moving target. My life is much simpler and more personal without putting it online for all of my FB "friends" to view. I'd rather go with a smaller, invite only solution that doesn't have a public side.

F# is a very cool functional programming language for the .NET platform. It's based on the ML-cariant OCaml but its creator, Don Syme, would like to think of it more as "Python for .NET." Even though Python and F# have large syntactic differences, they are similar in their static typing and ability to express solutions functionally. Since Visual Studio 2010, F# is now a first class citizen of the .NET Framework and is also available to OSX/Linux platforms via Mono. F# is currently in production use at many algorithmic trading companies and other scientific arena. It can also be used in Web Development (google WebSharper) or see ASP.NET MVC 3/4 F# Project Templates. F# is also used in Game Development (The Halo 3 True Skill ranking was implemented using F#.

Show HN: Supermodel – A Sega Model 3 arcade emulator
https://github.com/trzy/Supermodel
Supermodel is a GPL-licensed emulator for Sega’s legendary Model 3 arcade platform, produced between 1996 and 1999. It supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The Model 3 was based on Real3D Pro-1000 Image Generator, intended for high-end real-time visualization and was state of the art at the time. Real3D itself was spun out of Lockheed Martin’s flight simulator business.

Model 3 was specced to handle 1M polygons/sec at a buttery smooth 57.524 FPS and featured hardware transformation & lighting, mip-mapping, multi-texturing, and anti-aliasing. It could render both triangle and true quad primitives. Rather than accepting a command list each frame, the Pro-1000 graphics subsystem featured scene graph processing and was capable of parsing a high level graph data structure consisting of view port nodes, transform nodes, and mesh pointers. This minimized the burden on the host PowerPC CPU, which could set up most of the scene in a single frame and transfer only updates to the transform matrices.

Two-D graphics are handled by an old-fashioned tile map generator from earlier Sega arcade boards. For audio, a Motorola 68000-based sound board drives two Yamaha-designed Sega Custom Sound Processors (the Sega Saturn console had one of these). Some games featured an MPEG audio board for additional music capability, powered by either a 68K or Z80.

Additional peripheral boards included Z80-based force feedback drive boards and a 68K-based network board with low-latency fiber optic link.

All are emulated by Supermodel, which today is the only playable Model 3 emulator.
