HN is feeling janky too, not sure if it's related to this.

I use infinity app, might as well leave reddit from mobile :/ I sometimes use Twitter from mobile browser, the experience is ok but for Reddit, it's absolutely terrible.

Upvote for just how smooth animation is. Loved it :)

UI components as a service. I struggle to find inspiration for simple ui components when i design and build websites.

It would be great to not start from scratch everytime and still have base ui that could be customizable.

Codepen partially solve this, but searching them takes time and often they are not customizable.

There are multiple sites but they just redirect to selected codepen.

Don't know if it's viable. I am banking on the rise of indie devs building products without designers.

I can talk about webdev part, dunno about other areas.

When I started, I built simple utilities with just HTML/CSS & JavaScript. When I had a solid understanding of these three, then I dove into frameworks and complex stuff.

Here are some ideas

- Calculator, could be command-line or in a website

- To-do app

- A pomodoro timer

- static webpage (with just HTML/CSS), then learn about accessibility, responsive design, design system.

- REST API with node (e.g. Express js)

- Consume public APIs in JS frontend (or you can use React too)

- Building a full stack app with your CRUD API, can also add auth, image CDN etc

Basically, gradually raising the complexity with every project or within it by adding a new feature

I recently wrote about building projects as beginner (even more ideas here) : https://mnsh.me/blog/beginner-ideas

Good luck!

I hate it when that happens, more often that not i remember the visuals of the site, then i try to find it in my browser history like a sucker.

I have yet to find a solution for this.

One solution is I screenshot all the sites i visit, extract their colors, and create a searchable index. Nice side project idea I guess.

Install a web proxy (is Squid a thing anymore? It used to be the proxy server), configure your web browser(s) to use it, and have the proxy save all its content so you know where to search for a "known item search."

Seems like a nice companion to run on a pi-hole.

I made something similar for my personal site, except it didn't track cursor, no JS, & blinked too. Made with pure CSS

"i made something similar, except it shares almost no similarities"

To be fair its both about eyes and both are fancy.

I've resisted posting my effort at a moving eyes animation, but my resolve has crumbled[1].

In an attempt to make this comment slightly less spammy, I think that it's easier to create this effect in a web page if the code makes good use of radial gradients. Both SVG and the 2D canvas API use a 'two circles' approach to defining the gradient (interactive demo here[2]); the CSS approach, however, seems a lot less intuitive to me[3] - can I assume there were good reasons why the CSS committee chose to do it this way?

It shares the same behavior with a completely different implementation.

Well, I thought it was about depicting eyes on a webpage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here I thought I was being original when I made this face on my webpage track the cursor

I built my blog(& personal site) this year.

The thing that stopped me from blogging consistently was the notion that blogs are showcase of your expertise.

When i realized everyone is unique and have unique perspective, all the procrastination was gone and my mind was filled with things i could write about.

False notion of " showcasing expertise" changed to " sharing unique perspectives"

I have multiple first drafts that i am working on now.

I have been using https://tabliss.io/ for a while now. Yours seem cool, but I personally don't like too much information on my start page.

Only reason I use tabliss is to see random Unsplash image on every new tab.

tabliss is great, you can pull up your github contribution calendar (without needing to sign in to github), show the weather, and add links that you can open with the number keys which is convenient and saves a solid quarter second of typing every time I open a new tab, which is fun.
