Teddy Bear Tracker iOS App

Two weeks ago when walking around my neighborhood I noticed a strange amount of teddy bears placed in the windows of homes. When I got home I searched the internet and found https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/style/teddy-bear-scavenge... describing that this was being done to provide additional entertainment for people going on walks during these times of social distancing. This past week I decided to repurpose some old code into an app that would allow me to keep track of the teddy bears I found while on my own walks. It's quite simple but I hope others…

In plain words

Teddy Bear Tracker is an iOS app that allows users to record and keep track of teddy bears they spot displayed in windows during neighborhood walks. The app is designed for people participating in the teddy bear scavenger hunt trend that emerged as outdoor entertainment during social distancing. It provides a simple way to log and monitor bear sightings encountered on walks.

    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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
