oh hey, thanks! I'm excited this is something people still remember. I hope people get behind this, it's a lot more accessible and there seem to be a lot of people trying it out.
Studios keep pushing the UIs visually but we need to keep up with the ridiculousness
Oh hey I run this, originally I was just collecting the fui designs for reference when trying to make my own as a desktop (https://github.com/seenaburns/dex-ui), but since then I've kept it going.
This is an incredible and timely resource for me. I'm currently building a spaceship cockpit for my young sons. I'm a former EE, so I've got the blinky LEDs, switches, LCDs, keypads, and other physical UI components covered, but I'd love to add a sophisticated GUI component. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a coder. Do you know if any sci-fi GUIs are available as Android apps for tablets? I have 3 Kindle Fire tablets that I would love to turn into dedicated GUI touchscreens for the cockpit.
I set up SquareHome 2 with Minimalistic Text widgets to be kind of a retro-futuristic control panel for my phone. I'll bet with some time and the right icon packs it would make a pretty nice cockpit HUD.
Thanks for the tip! I just installed Artemis on 3 tablets and it's fantastic for my purposes. And looking at the Artemis forums, there are a number of people building Star Trek-like bridge consoles, similar to what I'm doing. Except I'm aiming for more of a gritty Alien type of aesthetic.
This is an awesome idea! Is there any way to create a randomized list weighted with popularity (so for a given tag you can refresh to find new links, but still ones likely to be interesting)?
Thanks for the support, really encouraged by the feedback here on Hacker News. You guys are great.
To your question, yes I am currently testing some ideas for a magic ranking system. One option is as you say a kind of random select amounts popular or trending links. Another is a smart weighted sort when filtering by multiple tags. One problem is that right now if you add jQuery to your filter, the javascript results are going to just dominate everything else.
For anyone interested, a few weeks ago, someone posted a paper on the popular data mining / machine learning algorithms that gives a brief overview of some common algorithms [1]. Someone also posted a few presentations on them if you just want a bullet point summary of the gist of each algorithm [2].
I just finished looking through both. They're both great if you're hoping to get some traction when it comes to learning ML.
Seems as though this is already a feature. When I created a headline and moved it close to a body of text, a guideline appeared and I was able to snap to it.
HN has really motivated me to start thinking about side projects seriously, even if just as learning exercise or solving my own problems. I only just started publishing them a few months ago, but I've had a lot of fun these:
