Show HN: I built my own PM tool after trying Trello, Asana, ClickUp, etc.
Hey HN,
Over the past two years, I've been building Upbase, an all-in-one PM tool.
I've tried so many project management tools over the years (Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Teamwork, Wrike, Monday, etc.) but they've all fallen short. Most of them are overly complicated and painful to use. Some others, like Trello, are too limited for my needs.
Most importantly, most of these tools tend to be focused on team collaboration and completely ignore personal productivity.

Hello
Hello stranger.
It has occurred to me that one of the crucial elements of the early internet was the feeling that there was somebody out there, \\_somewhere\\_ on the globe, that was actually responding to that particular thing you were putting out there. It was a special feeling, because it was a sense of connection. Just being online and being part of the few select communities that existed back then was a commitment, and I believe that's in part what made it feel special.
With all the world gaining access to the ... ⌘ Read more
Tell HN: A hacker's life is in danger, your awareness may be life saving
It's been a month that Jadi (real name: Amir Emad Mirmirani), an Iranian geek, has been imprisoned in Iran's most notorious prison called Evin in Tehran.
In Iran, he is one of the most famous people active in the field of programming and computer education. In his personal blog[0], he has been writing about technology and society for years. He has also a YouTube channel[1][2] to teach and encourage Iranians to programming and Linux, and a podcast[3] ... ⌘ Read more
Show HN: America – Road Trip Simulator
APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more.
Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the ... ⌘ Read more
Show HN: Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
Cofounder of Obsidian here. We're excited to announce Obsidian 1.0 is live!
Obsidian 1.0 introduces two big changes: a UI overhaul and an new tabbed interface. We've put a lot of care into making the app more approachable and more accessible. We've also prioritized using more native OS features for menus, windows, and many details.
We got our first private beta users from a comment under a HN thread about org-roam [1], and our waiting list was an innocent Google Form. Good times!

Show HN: Get conversational practice in over 20 languages by talking to an AI
Hi everyone,
Let me introduce you to Quazel, where we want to enable people to talk their way to fluency.
We have all tried various language learning apps and tools, however, one aspect of language learning current services are really bad at is conversational practice. You might get a chat-like interface, but in the end, the conversation partner will only respond with a predefined "if the users say X I say Y".
With Quazel that's completely different. In c ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: Why is Microsoft Teams still so bad?**
It's buggy, and it crashes more often than any other app I use. God forbid you try to change the audio device from speakers to headphones in the middle of a call. And then if you try to just call back on your phone, and they want to share their screen, and you go back to your PC and try to join the call from your PC so you can see the screenshare (it's not going to work).
Seriously, with all the money and resources thrown at this company and this app, you'd think it'd be a lit ... ⌘ Read more

So a while ago I wrote about how 2FA was missing a key feature: https://syslog.ravelin.com/2fa-is-missing-a-key-feature-c781...
Having not had any feedback on it in a while and the idea not taking off, today somebody messaged me to say that had implemented it in their product.
