What it does

I often copy Mermaid diagram code from tools like ChatGPT — but there’s no quick way to preview the diagram. I have to switch tabs, open an online editor, and paste the code to see. That got frustrating. So I built Markmaid to solve this exact problem.

    A new feature from Mermaid Chart allows users to easily share text-based diagrams with others. What is Mermaid Chart? It’s an extension of open source diagramming tool Mermaid: https://mermaid.js.org. I created Mermaid to make diagramming more fun again. Mermaid Chart helps to bring this to life. With Mermaid Chart, users can easily generate a wide range of charts – flowcharts and pie charts to sequencing diagrams, user journeys, and Gantt – from simple, markdown-style code.

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  • I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
