A hierarchical text canvas for organizing thoughts and taking notes. I wrote v1 years ago and now spent about year rewriting it in SwiftUI and adding all my dream features like reminders, deep linking, and lots more. Currently in TestFlight beta, nearing release.
As the link shows, if you would put it on a t-shirt, you can absolutely expect to hear from Nintendo's lawyers, so the question will just be whether you have the time to put up a fight.
Oh, Nintendo can't technically win a lawsuit against you if you make something for personal use, but they absolutely can and will try and ruin you financially before it sees a courtroom.
Hey HN - I'm John Goering - Java dev by day and indie app dev by night. :)
I've just started a public beta of Mindscope 2, a mind-mapping thought organizer app for iOS and macOS that’s been in my head for nearly 8 years, and I thought to celebrate, I'd post a Show HN.
The "spark" for this app came when I thought how cool a combination of Scapple's free-form layouting and Workflowy's focused hierarchy drilldown might be, especially if the primary goal was to keep things as simple, smooth, and fast as possible.
The first version of Mindscope was one of my earliest iOS apps, written in Objective-C. It worked well - MacStories reported positively on it - and it's been fun hearing from people over the years how much they've used it and love it, but as other projects grabbed my attention, it ended up on my back burner.
But for the last few years I’ve slowly been rebuilding it from scratch in SwiftUI, adding macOS and watchOS support, proper CloudKit sync, as well as features I had always wanted myself, like deep linking, reminders, long-form notes, OPML import and export, and lots more.
It’s a freemium app (all features included with 2 boards and 200 entries free) with a Pro subscription plan for unlimited notes and boards. During the beta, the Pro version is free, of course.
I would appreciate feedback or questions of any kind!
Interestingly, for this parallax 3D effect to work, the head tracking needs to basically move "backwards" from typical head tracking since it needs to keep the focal point the same, if I'm understanding correctly. Any time I've tried this out it's fun and would likely be most useful for something like a 3D painting you hang on your wall.
Related idea, but not the same, might be my iOS and Android app that uses your phone's AR for head tracking and then sends that data to your PC for smooth sim game head tracking. https://smoothtrack.app
I’ve always wondered why spam and scam emails have been so…dumb and obvious… 99.9% of the time.
It does seem like AI may change this and if even the tech savvier ones among us are able to be duped, then I’m getting worried for people like my parents or less tech savvy friends… we may be in for a scammy next few years.
I once read the hypothesis that if you're spamming, scamming and phishing, you're trying to trick people who aren't paying attention, are inexperienced and are curious. For that target group, the exact text doesn't matter. In fact, the more you do your best to make the email look professional, the sooner the people who are good at filtering signal and noise, will call you out. There might be an advantage to looking like an inept predator: the real watchmen will shrug and think "who would fall for that?"
Maybe it will finally get us to actually go after the scammers and those protecting them instead of trying to paper over the issue with technological solutions. There is a reason we don't all wear kevlar when going outside.
This is a great idea - do you have a more detailed overview of this approach and/or an example? What types of things do you tell it to put into the "artefact"?
The entire "no link" thing truly was outrageous from the start and, speaking as someone who very much admires Apple for many things, hearing that Schiller opposed the crazy 27% rule but was overruled by Cook truly makes me wonder whether Schiller wouldn't be a better CEO for Apple than Cook if these types of decisions are still being made.
