Show HN: Animated Weather Dashboard
https://zima.prokofyev.ch/?token=7f7e9e7ca3msh1f401291ce0855ep181698jsn9d6179e705d3
I’ve been working on this weather dashboard for a couple years now, and wanted to discuss it with you guys.
Here it is:

https://zima.prokofyev.ch/?token=7f7e9e7ca3msh1f401291ce0855... [1]

A couple videos are available here:

https://www.loom.com/share/881b4a93441141429d9260c46f098b13

https://www.loom.com/share/845b6efd7ac645768b103d05c4993072

https://www.loom.com/share/6ede6a39452a4aefabad3a059d0e33ca

There is also a playground where you can test different weather conditions and time of the day (not every weather condition/combination might work):
https://zima.prokofyev.ch/test?token=7f7e9e7ca3msh1f401291ce...

The idea of a dashboard comes from this wonderful Animated Weather Cards on codepen: https://codepen.io/ste-vg/pen/GqaZbo.
I have quickly built the first version of the dashboard by patching up OpenWeather api and making a separate card for the next 5 days: https://starport.prokofyev.ch/dashboard/?token=7f7e9e7ca3msh...

Then I added rising/setting sun background animation based on the CSS Sunset Sunrise codepen, which is synchronized to the actual sunrise at a given location. The sun on each card also rises and sets accordingly (and the moon comes shortly after). I have also replaced 3 layers of clouds with sort of cloud-shape-like objects. This allows for easier tinting based on time of the day and better depiction of the cloud conditions (few clouds, broken clouds, etc.).

Unfortunately, svg animations from the original codepen were quite heavy on the resources, and as I wanted to run this thing on raspberry PI, it was too slow at around 15 FPS. So I reimplemented rain, snow and clouds using webgl canvas with PIXI.JS and also upgraded TweenMax to GSAP 3. That boosted the FPS rate to around 30.

Anyway, I am looking for any feedback on this. Does it look good to you? Would you use something like this at home? What other features could be useful on such a board? Do you think it has a market?

P.S. I am not a professional front-end dev, I have never worked on any public-facing projects, only hobby and internal tools, so things might be a bit rough on the edges.

The Github Pirates
http://codepirat.es/
The Github Pirates is a constantly updated resource for those interested in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Despite the name, the project doesn't actually pirate Github repositories, but gathers open-source content from Github and puts it into a single repository for the following reasons:

Ease of reference
Quality
Preservation
Exposure

The Github Pirates is an attempt to make sense of the large amount of frontend web-development gold that exists on Github at the moment. Every now and then, I check the wonderful resource, Pinboard, and more often than not - find a bit of JS/CSS/HTML5 gold pushed to Github. Github has been around a while now, and as any web developer knows, it can be hard to sift through the noise that is currently abound on Github; particularly over the 6 months, I have seen a rise of fellow githubbers releasing pretty much everything they have in their arsenal of Web development tools.

Whilst this is important, and shouldn't go overlooked, I feel, as ever, there is a large propensity towards noise as a result.
Enter The Github Pirates. You see, I roam the Github badlands, late at night, in search for trinkets and gems of web development awesome-sauce.

When I download the scripts, I often feel I own a bit of history, because as anyone will tell you - the internet is forever changing. Sure, all the mega-brands, and mega-sites will always be there, but I often feel compelled to mirror things when I get an inkling it won't be around much longer.

Github shutting down? Well hardly, but they are a free service, and I am always wary of anything 'free' on the net. Especially 'services' that honeypot user generated content. Sure, Github has paid plans for the big boys, but I do worry about everyday Joe who relies on Github on a daily basis to sustain his repo indefinetly, and keep it there when times get bad.

Solutions?

Show HN: Drumcircle – Personalized candidate landing pages for better interviews
https://drumcircle.io/
I spent the last 4 years as an engineering leader at a high growth startup, where almost half my time focused on hiring and the hiring process to grow the team.

That lead me to build Drumcircle to try and help bring better candidate experience through a "magic link" landing page for candidates. Internally, you might have Greenhouse with all the stages, interview notes, files, invites, etc but the candidate and recruiter still coordinate everything via email tag.

I wanted to create a simpler and more transparent experience for the candidate while also minimizing the effort for recruiters.
Ask HN: Does the right way to share HN/Reddit/news exist?
This question is a bit bigger than HN/Reddit/news, but for the purposes of discussion it suffices. Do you share (non-broadcast) what you see on HN/Reddit with others, and if so, how? Email? Text? What percent of the time do you see stuff that you would share but don't want to burden people with email, or want to send to 4 diff people but without a group chat? Seems like there's a missing communications channel, but perhaps that's just me so I'm asking to find out!

Ask HN: Alternative to Twilio STUN/TURN?
Does anyone know an alternative to Twilio's hosted service for STUN/TURN/ICE servers (https://www.twilio.com/stun-turn)? I want a solution that can easily scale to 10+ peers and I've read that STUN/TURN/ICE wont work, you need an SFU/MCU based solution.

Also, are there any other issues with WebRTC that I can anticipate running into in production? Are there solutions to these other problems?

For context, I'm thinking of adding custom voice chat + data channels to my in-browser game.

Thanks in advance!

Simple app that helps you when searching for fragments of error messages
http://finderr.org
I put together this very simple app using web.py to automatically quote the terms in Google web searches. I was fed up with Google silently discarding terms in error messages and other multi-term searches that contained rare terms along with other more common ones and having to quote individual words by hand.

I'm not logging any IP addresses, by the way.

I hope you find it useful!

Ask HN: Review site for watching current news as TV
Tiltview.com streams current news video as TV. The service monitors news websites in and brings you current and breaking news from all around the world.

It started as a personal project. I was watching the news on web more often, but visiting different websites to watch news from different sources seems hard work. Created Tiltview so that it gathers important and current news and play it on single page.

Created mostly using jQuery talking to the server to get a list of videos to play.

Ask HN: What kind of eyewear do you use? 
I've been wearing glasses/contacts since second grade. When I first started in my career of staring at a monitor for 8-12+ hours a day my contacts would become irritated easily by the mid afternoon. I switched contact brands to Acuvue 2 Oasys which helped a lot, but my eyes still get tired / irritated by the end of the day (even when taking a short break every hour or so).

Which kind of contacts / glasses do you use? Do you like them? How long can you go without your eyes becoming irritated?
What is your development setup?
What size monitor do you use? Linux or PC? 2 monitors or 1?

The Quest for Zero Login, Part 1
http://drfloob.com/blurbs/12:the_quest_for_zero_login_part_1
For the TL;DR crowd: my thoughts on how to build a community site without a required login system. How to structure an anonymous community with user-generated content / assets.

I've been working on this idea for the past few months, and have only come to a rough solution. I'd like to put the idea out there, see who else is working/has worked on it, and get some feedback.

To be frank, I'm working on this for a project I don't intend to monetize, so maybe it's not right for the community, but I think you might find it interesting anyhow.

Thanks all, feedback appreciated!

Show HN: Muze – AI fitness music for personal, responsive workout playlists
https://www.muze.fit
After years of upvoting others, I’m really excited to be able to share my first Show HN! Muze is our free app and service that learns from some of your favorite workout songs and artists, then uses our proprietary AI to generate new, on-demand workout playlists personalized for your individual tastes. Muze also includes a feature called BodySync which lets the playlists adapt to either your running pace, matching song tempos to your cadence, or to your heart rate, selecting tracks with intensities levels to match.

Research has shown (1) that 3/4 of people who workout regularly rely on music for motivation, and the right music has been shown to increase endurance by 20%. We want our users to spend less time making workout playlists and more time working out. Personally, it’s helped me get my own motivation back after getting doughy during the pandemic and am down 10 lbs in the past month.

Right now, Muze is only available for iOS and requires a paid Spotify account for full functionality. https://apple.co/3CIJG0o

this project started at a local hackathon and I spent another 4 or 5 weekends polishing it up. My girlfriend, who I brought along to the event, said she was getting 'tired of her friends asking her what she will be wearing tonight or the brand of the foundation she is using right now'. A digital wardrobe, for the lack of better words.

It was a fun project and some of the early adopters are her friends. And since this site is more female oriented, here's my manly profile: http://re.mu/alvin

I highly recommend bringing your significant other to a hack event.

PRISM could cost US cloud computing industry $22-$35 billion over 3 years
http://www2.itif.org/2013-cloud-computing-costs.pdf
ITIF: "Given current conditions U.S. cloud service
providers stand to lose somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of the foreign market in the
next few years. Indeed, some foreign providers are already reporting their success.
Artmotion, Switzerland’s largest hosting company, reported a 45 percent increase in
revenuein the month after Edward Snowden revealed details of the NSA’s PRISM
program.17 And the percentage lost to foreign competitors could go higher if foreign
governments enact protectionist trade barriers that effectively cut out U.S. providers.
Already the German data protection authorities have called for suspending all data transfers
to U.S. companies under the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor program because of PRISM"
