Show HN: Pole Clock, a single 24h clock with multiple timezones
Hi HN! I designed this Pole Clock to be a helpful tool for people like myself who often struggle with managing their sense of time.<p>I found that analog clocks are generally easier to read and understand than digital ones, however I find the fact that every day is broken into two 12-hour rotations unintuitive. A single 24-hour rotation makes it easier to grasp where in the day you are, the bottom half representing night and the top half representing day.<p>Additionally, because the clock displays 24 hours, you can add extra hour hands on the clock for other time zones. This is especially useful if you work remotely or have friends and colleagues in different time zones. At a single glance, see where they are in their days and energy levels!<p>I hope you'll give the Pole Clock a try and find that it helps you better understand and manage your sense of time.
Show HN: RSS Brain
I wrote an RSS reader called RSS Brain recently. The motivate is the current RSS readers either don't sort articles by priority, which makes it hard to read posts from HackerNews and Reddit, or sort it with some "smart" algorithm which I don't trust. I also like the Google News feature that can show related story from different source, but the sources are not configurable and the algorithm is not transparent either. So with RSS Brain, I implemented these features:<p>* Recommend related articles from the feeds of your choice. It's backed by ElasticSearch and the algorithm is described on RSS Brain's website.<p>* Option to sort articles by upvotes and time. The algorithm is similar to the old Reddit and you can find it on the website as well.<p>* Save search terms into folders so you can filter the articles.<p>I've been using it for a while and found these features very helpful. So I want to share this on HackerNews. The frontend is written in Flutter so it has cross platform clients, even though the web version don't feel very "web native" because the level of Flutter web support. I guess only time can improve that.<p>I don't have enough hardware to scale it up so it's currently in subscription mode to limit the users. I'm going to open source the code (maybe non-commercial license) once I think it's ready so you can host it by yourself. It's still in early stage and haven't been tested by a lot of people. So any feedback is helpful. Thanks!<p>Update: Added a scroll down hint in the landing page. Thanks for the feedback.

Show HN: Pressn't – a site where you can only have a single post
Today's internet is filled with dopamine wells of content. I wanted to steer away from that and foster meaningful writing. So I made a site where you can only have a single post. The intention is to encourage thoughtful posts like the blogs we all love here at HN (Paul Graham's, fasterthanlime, Bartosz Ciechanowski's, etc).<p>For now posts are only markdown, but I intend to make some markdown extensions to make posts more dynamic.

Show HN: Dog API
Hello there, happy holidays.<p>I've been maintaining for 6 years this Dog API that only returned facts. I recently rewrote the project to make it more flexible [1] and I had a blast doing so.<p>This API has been used by a lot of computer science students, as well as bots and other 3rd party services that integrated in the past. The old endpoint receives around 1,000-1,500 requests per day, which makes me happy.<p>The goal is to extend it to make it more interesting and usable, I collect dog data in my spare time. I'm not looking to monetize it, it's just for the love of education.<p>Feel free to use it, and share it!<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/kinduff/dogapi.dog">https://github.com/kinduff/dogapi.dog</a>
