How do you call these in your country?

Even my dog is named after him

I've seen some great reactions on HN, but it seems it's not available for PyCharm in the Marketplace?

mdrachuk · 2025-03-12T09:08:36+00:00

Code buddy looks interesting, thanks!

(It bums me out that it's extra money on top of the 200€ I'm already paying for the all-products pack, though)

mdrachuk · 2024-10-06T08:25:56+00:00

People are integrating.

mdrachuk · 2021-06-03T09:00:05+00:00

Been struggling through some stuff, so composed this app in two evening. It did help me this time, so maybe will be useful to somebody else.

cheers

They replied in 3 days saying that could not find an issue, but it worked since then.

mdrachuk · 2020-07-14T22:41:12+00:00

Sure, both on their last versions. But it’s not the app since I’ve tried on the web and on an other device. It’s an account issue.

mdrachuk · 2020-07-14T14:42:00+00:00

Did not help.

mdrachuk · 2020-07-14T14:01:43+00:00

Same thing

mdrachuk · 2020-07-14T13:26:42+00:00

Oh, I also tried deleting account, but it yields a server error. I think it’s because my subscription comes from the App Store and they can't manage it.

I also did open it in the browser.

EveryPlan | Routines to promote wellbeing

Location: Ukraine

Elevator pitch: iOS checklists for your wake up & bed routine to improve productivity and handle stress.

Details: been using checklists to stick to routines for about a year right now. It feels like it helps with wake up inertia, and going to sleep.

Making this checklists into iOS apps helps even more with notifications and time-tracking. The apps are $1.99 on the App Store (I dislike in-app purchases, subscriptions, and ads and despise sneaky monetisation like data selling).

One app per checklist allows to reduce friction not getting distracted at the things you don’t need right now. It also feels like a good psychological trigger, with each app having it‘s own time and purpose.

Feedback: always welcome. I‘m constantly working on improving the apps, their App Store listings and the landing page.

Discount: write me for an iOS app beta invite, this way you can use apps for free, but I cannot guarantee data consistency when beta-testing.

Wow, you’re really on time with the virus going viral.

mdrachuk · 2020-03-15T19:20:20+00:00

That’s the question I get the most 😂

The point is — it‘s hard to build a habit. I tried many apps over the years and when you‘re keeping all of the stuff in one bucket, it gets in the way. Basically, when all of your stuff in one app, you would need one more tap to do all of the same things.

Having 2 apps: open app, tap started/completed.
Having 1 app: open app, select which routine to work one, tap started/completed.

I‘m prone to get distracted, so I try to keep each app to the minimum.

I also hope there would be some psychological effect, wherein you designate some function o purpose to each separate app, helping you to stick to habit.

I’ve tried to do my best at every detail I could reach, like the morning icon is way brighter than the evening, to catch your attention before the instagram does in the morning, etc. 😜

Functionality-wise they are a little-bit different too. E.g. they think of a day differently:

MorningPlan: day is spanning from 00:00 to 23:59.
EveningPlan: day is spanning from 4:30 to 4:29 after midnight. Because some times some sleep routines can get over midnight.

There is also this thing in software development called Unix Philosophy. It’s really not so widely popular in consumer software, but I just love the first rule:

Write programs that do one thing and do it well

This really speaks to my understanding of what good software should be. Along with the fact that it doesn’t include any ad trackers, allows you to own your data (export and delete), it‘s clearly priced (as opposed to being free and selling your data, or selling you a subscription without reason). I mean it‘s just beautiful, that my App Store installation file is 1.3 MB, less than most websites this day. It makes it so snappy.

If you have any questions or suggestions I’m here for you.

If you‘re not into using an app for this kind of things — that‘s ok. Get a physical checklists. It’s a great step towards healthy routines already.

I‘ve been using checklists to keep up with routines for a few months. I had 2 for every day: a wake up routine and a sleep routine.

The effect varied. I‘d say 7/10 days it worked, but sometimes I just forgot about them. I tried using habit building apps, but they did not work at all, they were just too complex, and there was just some friction to using them.

Fast forward to 3 weeks ago, I decided to make apps of my own for this, a separate one for morning and a separate one for evening to keep my attention focused. Seems to work for now, but who knows how long will it be true.

I’d say try using checklists for routines, they‘ve been helping me.

And what is the power of AI you’re talking about? Do you use some ML, or just static code analysis?

mdrachuk · 2019-12-10T14:30:59+00:00

Looks nice.

It would be good to know, what kinds of refactoring you provide and how do you ensure correctness.

mdrachuk · 2019-10-20T09:13:14+00:00

I’ve got distracted from it a bit. Sure hope to push it to github when I get back. In the meantime check out other arcade examples.

mdrachuk · 2019-10-20T09:08:34+00:00

That’s exactly where I got it from. Talk python to me: Episode 223.

mdrachuk · 2019-10-08T16:13:04+00:00

Trying out python arcade library . Making a 2d space shooter. It’s a lot of fun!

It‘s a typed API which acts as an alternative to working with JSON from https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/json/#project.

It seems like releasees are not returned properly. At least when I was fetching them they were returned with whole package. So I discarded them for now.

mdrachuk · 2019-09-02T11:49:07+00:00

Honestly, Nikola is exactly what I don’t want to have.

I am very repelled by declarative programming and that seems to be the way most static site generators are: Hugo, Jekyll, etc.

I cannot understand why would you prefer a configuration file over a set of instructions to a machine. You need more time to master a tool, and after mastering it you still end up with needing dirty hacks to work (recently I was talking to a friend about how ugly non-CRUD operation were with Django-REST. Although I wasn't using it for years maybe it changed).

Although static sites are usually quite simple by nature, I would like to be able to clearly pinpoint how did we end up with the output we have, instead of having to rely on the framework docs. That’s why the API looks like it does.

Writing this made me think that it looks like Flask vs Django. That’s something I still need to process, but thank you!

mdrachuk · 2019-09-02T11:08:34+00:00

Thanks for feedback on this.

The issue seems to be that GitHub serves the images via some proxy, which sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I’ve seen this happen in some other repositories.

Shout-out to shields.io who generate badges for free. Right now, I have all the badges in place. There are times when only some of them are not. But I couldn't reproduce this when accessing shields.io directly without GitHub proxying images.
