deferred hn

I don’t want to check HN all day every day, but I also don’t want to have FOMO.

This little thing here collects top 5 interesting posts from the frontpage of HN every day during the week, and presents them as a little digest every Saturday at 10am (Berlin time). You can sit down with a drink and have a quiet browse.

mumble

After more than half a decade in Germany, it’s time to make a real effort and get my German over the threshold after which it snowballs into something more than a mumble.

This tiny tool allows you to practice ENG-GER and GER-ENG translation using a vast set of phrases from all sorts of real world situations and with detailed correctness assessment, and then strengthen your knowledge with cloze completion exercises. Let me know if you also want to try it.

spaghetti

I needed a way to visualise a family of interconnected pull requests for a whole bunch of repositories, with a clear hierarchy of what needs to be merged when, what is on top of what, and so on.

Hence, spaghetti - a static web app where you can authenticate with your github token and build a visualisation grid of pull requests, where columns are repositories, rows represent merge order, and celss are collections of pull requests.
