Show HN: My first programming project – userscripts to change forum UIs Hi, I'm Will. I'm 24, autistic, and have OCD tendencies. I'm learning to code and this is my first public project. I’d really appreciate your feedback and encouragement! This project lets me solve some of my OCD problems online. There are a couple of parts of the forums that I visit – Space Battles, Sufficient Velocity, and Questionable Questing – that I want to remove. Specifically, I hate seeing indicators of how much is left in a forum thread, because I keep thinking about how much content is left. It stops me from immersing myself in the story. It stressed me out. Before I learned to code, I'd use my hand to block the total chapter count so I could read the blurb and see the word count. I would do my best to ignore the page navigation bar except for the next page button, but I usually ended up failing. One of the reasons I always read in full-screen Safari is that I didn't have to see the tab name that always had the page number. I learned not to hover my cursor over the window because it would tell me the page number. This project is a series of userscripts that hide those indicators. I coded the userscripts in JavaScript, and I used https://ift.tt/bR9SuYi as the system. Despite the fact I didn't know what a userscript was until I started coding them, AI assistance allowed me to code them with minimal help from my brother, Stevie. Khanmigo helped me plan, write, and debug code. ChatGPT taught me the theory. Part of the reason I coded a lot faster with the later userscripts is I knew enough to realize when AI was talking about something irrelevant and redirect it. One cool moment was when I correctly predicted I didn't need to code different userscripts for SpaceBattles and Sufficient Velocity because Sufficient Velocity used to be part of SpaceBattles. I find it relaxing not to have to worry about accidentally seeing the chapter count or the final page number. Maybe they’ll help one of you! https://ift.tt/PpxAIoS March 6, 2024 at 10:33PM

Show HN: Forth, a News Feed for News Hi HN -- I want to share a passion project I've been working on. As we are now firmly in the election season, it is more clear than ever that news needs its own platform. The big tech companies are deprioritizing reporting and removing news tabs. They cannot be the guardians of journalism. We're former journalists who care about reporting, and made a news feed for news. It's like social media, in that you can follow who and what you want, but unlike social, all posts come from real, verified journalists. No conspiracy theories, spam, or hate speech. Just news. Join us. It's free. I'd love to hear your thoughts. https://www.forth.news March 6, 2024 at 10:27AM

Show HN: DevBuddies – where programming buddies work together https://ift.tt/ASfeszC

Show HN: DevBuddies – where programming buddies work together Hi there, I’m a developer and I have always struggled with design aspects and have always been in need for a designer. There used to be a website called programmermeetdesigner.com, but that shut down a long time ago. I have never found a place like that anymore, so after 15 year of having the desire for a place like that I have decided to make it myself. Hence DevBuddies. DevBuddies is a place focussed on developers looking for other people to help them with development and design, and I also added marketing, entrepreneurship and coaching/mentoring. Of course nowadays there are a lot of other ways and places to meet other developers, designers, etc, but not like I wanted it. DevBuddies is not that special or complex (this is the best sales talk you are ever going to see..), but I just wanted it like that. However. I have no wish for growing a community or pushing this into the world, which is probably necessary for DevBuddies to be ‘successful’. I just wanted to fulfill a long-standing wish to create DevBuddies. That’s also the reason that for initial content I have decided to add Reddit content through scraping. This is actually not a bad thing since that content is now better searchable by DevBuddies users and adds value for them. Anyhow, if you have any ambitions for something to help me out on growing DevBuddies or take it over let me know. For now, enjoy DevBuddies! https://buddies.dev/ March 6, 2024 at 12:39AM
