I'm building a tool to unblock creativity when you feel stuck
Hi HN,
I'm Tomás, and I'm building something that comes from a very personal place.

I've worked on creative projects for years — videos, content, apps, helping others grow their ideas. But the thing I've always struggled with most is that moment when I want to create… and just can’t.
Not because of a lack of talent or ideas. I just freeze. I feel stuck, lost, like everything I make sounds like a copy of itself.
And then comes the guilt, the comparison, the feeling that maybe I’m the problem.

I tried solving it with better productivity tools, with systems, with routines. But nothing helped me in that exact moment when everything shuts down.

So I started asking myself: what if there was a tool built just for that?
Not to manage tasks or organize projects — but to be there for you when you can’t move forward, when you don’t know how to start.

That’s what I’m trying to build. A space to breathe, reconnect, and move again — without pressure. A tool to help you when everything else feels heavy.
It’s not launched yet. I just put up a landing page and a waitlist, and I’m still trying to understand how many others feel the same.

I’m not here to sell anything. I just wanted to share this because I know a lot of people here are building things too — and that creative silence also hurts when you really want to make something.

If you’ve been through it, I’d love to hear from you.
And if you’re open to it, tell me:
What helped you get past a creative block?

Thanks for reading.

The top of the power pyramid is not the deep state, it is the state. The top of the power pyramid is elected, or appointed by those who are elected.

The deep state refers to those who are not elected, who are not appointed by those who are elected, but who exercise power across political administrations without any check by voters.

I prefer that they be hobby projects or solo-developer crowdfunded efforts. Generally, I find that the traditional (waterfall) lifecycle of commercial games is not conducive to a good Roguelike. This is because the game is quickly shifted into maintenance-mode after release and stops receiving major updates soon after.

Roguelikes really benefit from long-term development and continual balancing, new content, and quality of life updates in response to feedback from players. These are games meant to be played and mastered over the course of several years. Traditional commercial game releases are much better suited to one-and-done style single play-throughs.

The other major commercial model, the subscription- or microtransaction-supported long-term game development, such as you'd see with popular multiplayer games like Fortnite or League of Legends, would seem to be a viable alternative for Roguelike development. I don't think it would work out in practice, however, since most gamers don't seem to be interested in playing a game to mastery unless it involves a high level of competitive play.

The problem with NixOS (Nix?) is that it is currently embroiled in a culture war. Just to give an example, someone made an April's Fools joke about Elon Musk sponsoring NixOS and they got their post muted and (almost?) caught a suspension.

There is currently a gazillion forks, some being forks of forks because they weren't considered culturally pure enough for the culturally purged fork.

Hopefully Determinate Systems or Ekela can get some real maturity and corporate funding into the system and pull the whole thing out of the quagmire.

I was going to mention this as well. Further, I remember reading dolphins being capable of similar feats. I also remember hearing about regional animals dialects.

Any animals capable of providing accurate descriptions of things to one another would have to be using something like language. It would require both some kind symbolic thought and structure of those symbols whether they be auditory, visual, or a combination of the two.

If people want to use “language” for humans alone, okay… but it is quite clear that some animals use a communication system nearly as complex if not equivalent.
In my experience LiIon car batteries are a total pain. Regular battery chargers fry them, or won't turn on to charge. So you need a Li compatible charger. If you let one go flat it bricks and replacements are either very costly or impossible to source locally. I had to have a car transported by flat bed 300 miles to a dealer to have the dead Lithium battery replaced under warranty.

> sending a RequestID to the server so that you get request/response cycles isn't weird nor beyond the pale.

To me the sticking point is what if the "response" message never comes? There's nothing in the websocket protocol that dictates that messages need to be acknowledged. With request/response the client knows how to handle that case natively

> And the websocket browser API is nicer to work with than, say, EventSource.

What in particular would you say?
Where We Are Headed
Pretty much. In this case, WebSockets is simpler to implement than HTTP2; it's closer to raw TCP, you just send and receive raw packets... It's objectively simpler, more efficient and more flexible.

It's a tough sell to convince me that a protocol which was designed primarily for resource transfer via a strict, stateless request-response mode of interaction, with server push tacked on top as an afterthought is simpler than something which was built from the ground up to be bidirectional.

Hippos don't come from the whale branch, but they share a branch with whales. From wikipedia:

This is not true at all. It's like saying that tool construction must be >300 million years old because both chimpanzees and New Caledonian crows make tools. Things can be invented or discovered multiple times by different species. It might be inherited from a common source, but it might not.

Reads like a series of strawman arguments if you replace "WebSockets" with socket.io.

- "messages aren’t transactional": You can process request and return a value to sender in socket.io application layer. Is that transactional enough?
- "If you’re sending messages that don’t necessarily need to be acknowledged (like a heartbeat or keyboard inputs), then Websockets make a great fit". But socket.io has acknowledgements.
- "When a new WebSocket connection is initiated, your server has to handle the HTTP “upgrade” request handshake.". You can bypass handshake and go straight to WS even in Websockets, and if you don't socket.io handles upgrade for you pretty nicely so you not parsing HTTP header ..

No. Musk was appointed as a senior advisor by someone who was elected, and he has not exercised power across political administrations, so he would not meet my definition of deep state.

do timepiece complications have theoretical limits that might originate from the "7-fold limit" in origami, or huffman's work on folding curves in origami?

I realize watch complications are stacked disc segments and not folds, but intuitively if you are dealing with a material in a fixed space you either run up against limits in the stiffness of parts down to sheets of atoms, or some theoretical folding limit relative to the thickness of the case. a watch that expressed the proof might be worth the indulgence.

Desktops have been in a rut for a decade. Windows has sucked post Win7 in ways that are either conspiracy or the most stinging indictment of managerial incompetence possible. Osx is good except it's key bindings are alien and the hardware is closed and apple hasn't improved it really at all in ten years and it has loads of inconsistencies with Linux cli. Linux has been in a huge rewrite of the desktop and graphics lift for no real end user benefit and flubbing the opportunity to make ground on windows while it tried to commit market share suicide.

3d compositing, ssds, mega displays, massive multi core, all completely wasted.

You know what I should be able to do? Hot execute windows and Linux and Osx on the same desktop without containerization that leaves 3d as an afterthought or worse a never thought.

Websockets are a web standard, socket.io is a userland framework
I don't know why people keep trying desperately to avoid the simplicity and flexibility of WebSockets.

A lot of times, what people need is a bidirectional connection yet somehow they convince themselves that SSE is better for the job... But they end up with two different types of streams; HTTP for writes and responses and SSE for passively consuming real-time data... Two different stream types with different lifecycles; one connection could fail while the other is fine... There is no way to correctly identify what is the current connection status of the app because there are multiple connections/statuses and data comes from multiple streams... Figuring out how to merge data coming from HTTP responses with data coming in passively from the SSE is messy and you have no control over the order in which the events are triggered across two different connections...

You can't enforce a serial, sequential, ordered flow of data over multiple connections as easily, it gets messy.

With WebSockets, you can easily assign an ID to requests and match it with a response. There are plenty of WebSocket frameworks which allow you to process messages in-order. The reason they work and are simple is because all messages pass over a single connection with a single state. Recovering from lost connections is much more straight forward.

German passionary patriotism has been artificially subverted and shut down, and the nation instead has been flooded with non-Germanic elements, thus completely destroying the very definition of German.

Adding to this, the primitives erlang, and descendants, give you are very easy to work with, and therefore very easy to test.

Take GenServer. The workhorse of most BEAM systems. Everything it does it basically just calling various functions with simple parameters. So you can test it just by call l calling those functions and manually passing parameters to it, and asserting on its output. No need to set up complex testing systems that are capable of dealing with asynchronous code, no need to handle pauses and wait for coffee to finish running in your tests. It's something a lot of juniors tend to miss, but it's liberating when figured out
