I posted here a while back with this app I'd been working on. In short: It allows you to talk to Spotify's recommendations API to specify musical features you'd like recommendations similar to. It's loads of fun to mess around with, and I've given it an overhaul to include many more dimensions ito. musical features, as well as the ability to log in with Spotify, and save things you find to a playlist. You don't need a subscription to Spotify to use the app either. Thanks to @Mockapapella for the tagline when I posted the first version:…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
