Show HN: Learn German with Short Stories
Hi HN! I have been working on a webapp to keep learning German and today I want to share the first version. In the past, I have used books with "Short stories" to learn the language and I always wanted more stories so I thought I could put that into an app. Short stories are nice because the learner can attempt to understand words from the context of the text and it feels like less effort than a traditional language app.<p>Additionally, the app format allows for practice questions at the end and you can use LLMs to check whether the answers are correct; so the users can check themselves.<p>So this is that! Let me know if you have any questions.<p><a href="https://webbu.app/german" rel="nofollow">https://webbu.app/german</a>

Show HN: Neat – Minimalist CSS Framework
Today I fixed a couple little bugs and released a new version of my minimalist CSS framework. I built this to scratch my own itch and I've been using it for a few years as the starting point for most of my own websites.<p>I noticed I hadn't shared this with HN for about 18 months (5 or 6 minor version changes) so I thought it might be okay to do that now.<p>Edit: Err, I missed a post from 7 months ago.<p>Previous Posts:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32990838" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32990838</a>

Show HN: An interactive map showing live wind farm generation in Great Britain
GB Renewables Map an energy experiment created entirely in my free time (day job is visualisation at Octopus Energy).<p>It's an interactive map showing live generation for major wind farms in Great Britain, showing what each wind farm is generating both now and in the past, and where that generation is physically located.<p>Animated weather data is from WeatherLayers and shows current and historic wind conditions on the map, providing context to wind generation around the country.<p>History mode allows you to go back in time and see wind generation and weather conditions for a particular date and time. It's great for exploring days of record generation, such as the 21.6GW record on January 10th, 2023!<p>Prediction mode lets you see what wind farms are estimated to be generating using current wind conditions and model based on historic generation and wind speeds. Is a wind farm generating as you expect, or is there something to look into?<p>An experimental feature allows you to see what future wind farms could be generating today (or in the past!) if they were already built and operational. If you click the "sparkle" button on the map you'll get to see what the upcoming 3.6GW Dogger Bank wind farm is estimated to generate if it was operational today.<p>There's an "About" section on the site that goes into detail on the various public data sources and how some of the features work. I also document a lot of this on my Twitter @robhawkes if you're curious.<p>This is just the start and there are many more features to come!<p>Please let me know your comments and suggestions.

Show HN: Preview environments for projects that do not use K8s/Docker
Show HN: A C++ web/application framework I have been building for the last 12yrs
Back then there were not a lot of frameworks for C++ like there are available now, gradually added serialization, reflection, orm, modules for apache|nginx, then started adding programming language integration and then finally added support for building on various Os'es and also support for most of the build tools out there.
Show HN: Ordently – Consciously plan your day and your life
I've been using a task management tool for the past 1 year that I built. A few months ago, I spent some time to make it more generic because my partner wanted to use it as well and she's been loving it ever since. Love her, but she's a bit biased.<p>Firstly, this is a todo app for your life. Existing tools are built around how we work as employees in a company. With a company, all the habits, goals, vision and rituals are given to you in an employee handbook. The company is our coach, and in most cases, we listen and do as the coach says. Its easier to get things done in this environment.<p>In our personal lives, we gotta figure out our goals, work on our habits and setup rituals. We're also more flexible, more forgiving on when we want to do certain things and more rigid on the others. The Daily Planner is central to that ideology, working with one off and repeatable tasks . You onboard with your day first, could be as simple as calling your mum or going on a walk or do yoga. As you get more comfortable, you start to consciously build a life that you want to live by creating rituals and setting goals as you get more confident.<p>Personally, I haven't been able to get that through Todoist or Notion.
Show HN: Featurevisor – Git-based feature flags and experiments management
Why?<p>- Decouple application deployment from releases<p>How it works:<p>- Make changes to your features and segments (YAMLs) via Pull Requests
- Generate datafile (JSON file) in CI/CD workflow and upload to your CDN
- Fetch datafile in your application runtime and consume with SDKs<p>Supports:<p>- Feature flags: boolean flags
- Experimentation: a/b tests
- Segments: targeting traffic with conditions
- Variables: namespaced under each feature and conditional
- Gradual rollouts: avoid big bang releases, go from 0% to 100%
- Consistent bucketing: same user sees same variation
- Multiple environments: prod, staging, test, and more
- Force bucketing: allow testers to force enable/disable for themselves only
- Tagging: resulting in smaller datafiles for your application(s)
- Tracking: integration with any analytics tool
- Status site generator: for human friendly status reporting
- SDKs: for Node.js and browser environments, Kotlin/Swift planned for future
