ugh the fucking noise. My house backs onto a road that's only really busy in rush hours. It's the mopeds and trash-can exhausts that are the pain, the actual traffic isn't that noisy. yeah, exhaust sound is fun but not on your corsa; save it for the race-track. At least the drug dealers are respectful and ride electric bikes. As much as we're heading to a police state, might almost be worth it if they regulated vehicle noise.


i have a Lab/Staffie mix and he has insane retriever drive when we get the tennis ball launcher out. pupils dilate and nothing else matters, to the point that we had to ban launcher because he kept loosing his thumb claws from sliding on the grass when the ground is too hard. Before we banned it his muscles were massive, rippling shoulders etc. When we had his (non-tennis) balls removed he developed insane food drive, the vet said this was common, to the point he'll raid the kitchen at night if we don't lock it down. The boy is build to do 1 of 2 things, eat or fetch!


I think of myself as a slow thinker and feel the same as many other comments on this post but I always but this down to being a visual mind and having to draw/picture everything to think it. So in my experience slow thinking is topic dependant; maths, conversations, even code are slow because I have to draw it in my head and it takes time. But give me a spatial/visual problem, like coming up with a plan for garden landscaping, organising room layouts or will this object fit in this space and it takes like 1 micro-second. it's weird.


This is exactly how I'd put it, and also why I absolutely hate context switches. When you're asking me to switch context, for example to a different project, then I have to bring in the project structure, the modules the moving pieces, the problem we're trying to solve, everything before I can remember enough to answer your question.


Totally agree. It takes a while to "load" the project but then once it's loaded moving around a large codebase is a breeze but as soon at the code changes broaden and I slow right down cos I have to rebuild the map with the new additions. only way i can describe it: it's like loading google/apple maps and instead of it showing a low detail view with only the big roads displayed i'm loading the entire super details map, it takes a while but once it's loaded there's 0 lag.

also it's actually reassuring knowing someone else is similar, no-one in my life seems to work the same.


really cool idea. rightmove is awful for searching for houses. I basically can't filter by features at all. though their map search feature is cool cos i might not want to search in an entire county. though i get your probs mvp-ing. really slick though

also there are no houses for Cheshire on your site. replication steps: type cheshire in the search bar and click the suggestion (Cheshire, UK) = 0 results.


Thanks for the kind comments. Just checked Cheshire and you're right, we're missing a polygon for it (as it's a ceremonial county).


good to know, I didn't know we had such a law. thanks for posting this


I just pre-ordered the m4 pro. upgrading from a late 2013 mbp with a battery that would probably void my home insurance if they found out.

can't justify the constant upgrade when it doesn't make me money (work provide one). very excited about the new one though


I my opinion this example should be on the website to support your code snippets. the top of the page should tell me what problem your solving for me rather than what features the product has. this post does it perfectly but without reading through this thread i'd still be struggling to understand why i should use the product.

I hope that didn't come across mean. the product looks really cool. congrats on the launch :)


Thank you so much for your feedback! Your point about clearly addressing the problem we're solving is well-taken.

Balancing a polished look with comprehensive information is challenging, but I understand the importance of clarity and usefulness. I've added more "discussion" and "guides" to the docs page in an effort to bridge this gap. However, I will certainly explore additional ways to improve the main website based on your comments.

It would mean a lot to hear your thoughts on the docs and if they help in better understanding the product and its use cases. Thank you again for your support and for helping us make our product better!


"let’s just admit it: your GitHub is the tech equivalent of a participation trophy"

great app OP :)


this is great. more governments/councils need to run these.


somewhat related; My unraid server has been crashing over the last few days so I'm looking at setting up a syslog server using a spare pi4, so i can at least see why it might be crashing. never thought i'd need a supporting machine considering i don't have that many apps runnin, guess i do now though


Great! Moving monitoring/logging to a smaller external server like Pi would be helpful in situations like this. I'll try it too :)
