This is one of the first holidays where I don't feel an urge to program. Feels strange. Guess I'm getting older?

Reading: The Snows of Kilimanjaro

Project: Logic Gate Editor + Simulator (but I can't really bring myself to work on it much)

Frohe Weihnachten!


Really nice design!

Would love to have one but.. can’t find a use-case for it


Hey HN,

we've built FieldKit mostly for our own project at the start. We think it might be useful for others building embedded software.

AMA about the tool


Congrats on launching!

What language / toolchain are you using?


The whole app is written in Typescript, except the webserver (Golang). We've already started to run into some performance issues on large projects.

Eventually we will write the frontend in C++ (using emscripten to compile to JS). The UI will use React, but the canvas state will be in C++.

Also, the monolithic backend will be split apart and rewritten in a different language to optimize speed.

We have a lot of work to make it more performant, but it's going to be fun to build :)


I’ve used this in production. It’s great.


Wanted to check it out and was surprised that it requires an account.


Yeah, totally fair point. I should probably add a simple guest access. Had to lock it behind auth as I keep adding features for myself that require some backend action, and was too lazy to write different code paths depended on authentication. I guess, that's also one of the drawbacks of writing something for myself, as you just forget about inconveniences that it can cause to others.


I note that explains what happens with the location data would also be nice.

Like is my complete health uploaded to your server? (I assume not)


Nope, no health data is being sent to me. The only time your location gets recorded is when you use it to generate a challenge based on your current location. For just mapping and visualizing your walks, everything is local.

But yeah, obviously a ton of polishing can be done. Sorry about the troubles!


I use two Ultimate Hacking Keyboards.

V1 had some issues, V2 is better.

I’ve used Fable in production. It just works most of the time, but it’s not seamless.


The first two I checked are also missing.


Guys I need names of cities and cinemas


We use AvaloniaUI in production for a handfull of apps.

Couldn’t be happier.
