Maybe the button with the phone icon could be green and much larger than the other buttons. I think that would make it easier for users of this app to understand and remember where they need to tap to call the person on the screen.


There is a link on the About section: https://interactive-pathfinding.netlify.com


Any chance you still have that article around? I would like to read it if possible.


I'm not able to find it, but it wasn't much more than a blog post exposing the points I mention in the edited comment. If anyone can remember it (it was a HN post), that'd be great!



Nice, thank you!

I actually send the HN discussion itself to my Reading List. So when I find some time I start with the comments here and then decide whether or not I should read the article. And tbf most of the times I get enough information here and never follow the link to the main reading.


Thanks for sharing this video. I had no idea who he was.


Did you explain your thoughts about the ideal mattress some time ago maybe? I'd say I already read those same arguments before and found them extremely interesting.


Thanks. I did post a few short comments.

Mattresses are something we do totally wrong. We could have much more ergonomic designs that were also affordable, washable, less bulky and recyclable.


It's usually easier to just look for the paper somewhere else once you've decided you want to read it your own way. In this case, you can find it here [0]. As they often show kind-of-classic papers, many of them are publicly available through a Google search.

Thanks for this solution! I had just assumed it would be too difficult to find elsewhere :/


After using several different blogging platforms/tools, I finally decided to use instead a GitHub repo for my notes. Something really simple that lets me 1) create a note in plain Markdown, and 2) run a publi.sh script. That's all. After that, the note is already in my GitHub repo ready to be ctrl-f'ed when I'm looking for something I know I documented. In case anyone is interested I used this tool [0], but it was first time in my life creating a Bash script, so fairly assume the code is, well... you know :)

I'd recommend shellcheck[1] to help avoid common pitfalls with bash/sh, particularly in regards to word splitting.

Many thanks, I'll do.


Many thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely text.


Not exactly what you're looking for, but maybe you or someone else might be interested on this: http://fermatslibrary.com


Very interesting, thanks!

Somewhat related,a general purpose annotation platform is http://hypothes.is - a great feature is that PDF annotations are location independent because they use some kind of fingerprint to identify the document.
