A one-man side project: https://www.getbricksapp.com/

Making a photo-based calorie tracker accurate.


I've used them when building a web app to host a simple cron job. Way more reliable and punctual than github actions imo


Great writeup. I've noticed the same thing by recording simultaneously with the watch workout app and strava on my iphone. The watch always says pace is slower.


Haven't seen these before thanks for sharing.

It's different from a reddit poll in two ways:

1) Artificial scarcity - like Wordle or a NYTimes cover photo, there's only one per day. This focuses attention to one topic at a time.

2) Before/after polling. The audience is polled initially and then asked if they've changed their mind after a while reading arguments. The winner is the debate that changes the most minds.


Big fan of Intelligence Squared but haven't seen ChangeMyView before, thanks for sharing.

Regarding the polling suggestion, that's actually how it works! Clearly need to work on the messaging a bit, to make that more apparent. There's an initial poll and then you're asked if you've changed your mind after a minute of reading the arguments.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions.


Exactly. This differentiates the product from other platforms like Twitter/Reddit where you can ask polls.


Thanks for checking it out. Thought that debate topic was appropriate for launching on HN :)


Thanks for the suggestion! That's something we have in the pipeline for post-MVP


Great suggestions. Think there's definitely a few ways to manage comments better. Any specific suggestions in mind?

And +1 to using this in corporations. The hope is that the tool is generic enough for all kinds of use cases!
