Show HN: I built an app for when I talk too much in online meetings
Hey HN!<p>Alexis here, I’m a product manager and software developer in Berlin by way of New York.<p>I want to show you this app I made – It’s like a "buddy" for those, like myself, who inadvertedly talk too much in meetings.<p>The app gives me feedback and a little more in control of what I have influence over by:<p>* Keeping track of how long I’ve been speaking<p>* Catching myself before I talk too much<p>* Developing a better sense of timing<p>I truly love having conversations with people in real-life.<p>But online meetings, especially group calls, tend to make me nervous. I can't read body language. The tone of voice, micro-experessions and social cues get lost.<p>If you, too, accidentally talk too much too often, check it out "Unblah". Watch the quick 2-minute demo and download the macOS app over at <a href="https://unblah.me/" rel="nofollow">https://unblah.me/</a>.<p>Cheers!<p>Alexis<p>PS: There’s a whole FAQ section for common questions you may have – Including if this is yet another "native" Electron app ;)<p>edit: bullet-list formatting

Show HN: Inflation-adjusted stock charts – Total Real Returns
Here's a little side project I’ve been working on: <a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/</a> The Total Real Returns chart demonstrates the preservation or growth of real wealth more clearly than conventional (nominal-dollar, price-only) stock charts, because: (1) we include the effects of inflation-diminished purchasing power, and (2) we include the effects of reinvesting dividends from the initial investment.<p>I found it harder to explain the y-axis in words than it was to do the math, so please let me know if you think the "baguettes" explanation on the homepage helps.<p>I was up until 4am ET finishing some features on this, and then at 8:30am ET the BLS released the new CPI numbers through their API: <a href="https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu/" rel="nofollow">https://download.bls.gov/pub/time.series/cu/</a> and I was able to manually re-run my daily cronjob with the new numbers, so it's up to date! If you catch any bugs, please let me know via the “Report a bug” link in the footer of every page.<p>Some FAANG examples: <a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/META" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/META</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/GOOGL" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/GOOGL</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AMZN" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AMZN</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AAPL" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AAPL</a><p><a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/NFLX" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/NFLX</a><p>Comparing three Vanguard treasury funds, showing vividly the impact of bond duration (short-term, intermediate-term, long-term) on both risk and reward: <a href="https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VFISX,VFITX,VUSTX" rel="nofollow">https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VFISX,VFITX,VUSTX</a>
