My wife shared Obama's yearly instagram post with "his" songs of the year. "Can you turn this into a YouTube playlist"

I could! And with no sleep, I could turn it into a product too. Nostalgia included. (her idea!)

$20 for a domain and burning a chunk of my fast requests quota on Cursor, voila!

This is a testament to fun products you can make overnight. (Technically this was two nights, but the point stands).

So take a photo of your favourite 90's CD, or write in a list of songs, it will automagically turns it into a Youtube playlist.


This was the list btw. Copy, click “Text” on the app, and paste.

Kendrick Lamar – “Squabble Up”

Billie Eilish – “Lunch”

Rema – “Yayo”

Tyla, Gunna & Skillibeng – “Jump”

Central Cee & Lil Baby – “Band4Band”

Ezra Collective & Yazmin Lacey – “God Gave Me Feet for Dancing”

The Red Clay Strays – “Ramblin’”

Fontaines D.C. – “Favourite”

Asake & Travis Scott – “Active”

Shaboozey – “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”

Bonny Light Horseman – “Old Dutch”

Rae Khalil – “Is It Worth It”

Beyoncé – “Texas Hold ’Em”

Jordan Adetunji – “Kehlani”

Artemas – “I Like the Way You Kiss Me”

Johnny Blue Skies – “Scooter Blues”

Hozier – “Too Sweet”

Leon Bridges – “Peaceful Place”

Tommy Richman – “Million Dollar Baby”

Waxahatchee & MJ Lenderman – “Right Back to It”

Myles Smith – “Stargazing”

Jack White – “That’s How I’m Feeling”

Moses Sumney – “Gold Coast”

Karol G – “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido”

FloyyMenor & Cris MJ – “Gata Only”


You should be able to grab any of the cities on the dial and spin them with your mouse. If that doesn't work, could you share your device details? (also if it does work, if you don't mind confirming). Thanks


Yes, it absolutely works. I meant that this is currently not intuitively discoverable :)


thanks for the feedback, will put that on for our update


aha! Toggle the top left view to see it in scheduling mode.


That’s confusing, having them all on the dial at the same angle makes look like they share the same time.

(I thought that toggle would show me a more boxy view, like a calendar.)


Yeah, there's some learning curve, which is why we stuck it in the second mode.

They are sharing the same "time", it's just the value of the time is different around the world. The colours should help indicate what's happening in each timezone.


yikes, mind throwing us a screenshot? I'm seeing 5PM on my end https://i.imgur.com/wzAS6PT.png


It's totally possible.

Getting good structured covid data that correctly maps to state/county geometry with corresponding IDs can be a bit challenging.

I've done USA/India and Ontario (Canada)


Crazy, is this on mobile? If you don't mind sharing your Hardware/OS/Browser details.


I was looking for town-wise data for my county and there wasn't anywhere that showed the numbers on a map. (This is still not accomplished by this map)

This started my journey of I'm-definitely-not-wasting-my-time-procrastinating-from-work project of making a COVID map.

There's a bunch of great tech that lets you display these amazing 3D maps, and nobody seems to be using it.

Here's my go at it.


The same thing that happened to stable boys, bank tellers and farmers. In 1870 53% of the labour force were farmers, by 1970 that was 4.6% (https://www.agclassroom.org/gan/timeline/farmers_land.htm). If you told someone in 1870s that 50% of the labour force will be changing their job, they would have a similar reaction.

Granted the speed with which changes are occurring now is much more rapid; if we consider the largest number of people affected in the smallest period of time, it's probably self-driving cars & trucks that will make the greatest impact.

Driving or making pizza isn't exactly high-skill work (in terms of time taken on training), hopefully the transition happens slow enough for these people to retrain for other work.


The difference between then and now is that farm jobs weren't replaced by jobs that requires a college education.


> Driving or making pizza isn't exactly high-skill work (in terms of time taken on training), hopefully the transition happens slow enough for these people to retrain for other work.

This doesn't address the joblessness concern. The trend I see taking root in its infancy today is job stability tending to flow increasingly only to highly-skilled and highly-experienced staff, and many times not even that imparts stability. This has downstream impacts upon complexity management, retention, etc. that are out of scope of discussion in a format as limited as HN.

The game changer is that software and computationally-enhanced hardware delivers the ability to re-use pre-existing infrastructure. Earlier transitions at least required significant infrastructure changes and/or outright new infrastructure be built, and that formed the opportunity and basis for disrupted workers to work within the transition. We might be talking about a Zume that requires new infrastructure today, but make no mistake, a solution reusing pre-existing infrastructure as-is will come down the pipeline. This yanks out the traditional "relief valve" of earlier large-scale technological transitions' disruptive patterns.

When we replaced horses with cars, there was massive infrastructure added for roads, roadside entertainment, oil and oil refining distribution-to-retailing, pipelines, eventually shipping, oil discovery, etc.

When we replaced steno pools with word processors, the "infrastructure" was basic typing skills (shorthand skills were dispensed with, to our detriment IMHO) imposed upon a new generation of workers as a new baseline skill (along with many other baseline skill upgrades with no commensurate increase in wages over the past decades, I might add). The physical infrastructure of steno pools however, was repurposed.

When we replaced the extra cashier at gas stations with card-accepting gas pumps, the infrastructure initially rode on the back of the pre-existing telephone network, then upon the new data networks. The major infrastructure replaced was the gas pumps themselves, and usually only as they gradually wore out so the infrastructure draw for new labor was a net negative when the lost cashier jobs' hours were taken into account.

When we eventually replace the plurality of in-house small-business system administrators with cloud-based services, the physical footprint of the servers will be re-purposed to maybe a storage closet.

We're also using metrics in this discussion the wrong way. Instead of talking about number of jobs lost/gained, we should be talking about absolute wages over time and per capita, with an additional factor expressing stability over long periods. Using number of jobs as the metric loses information about the quality of the jobs, stability over working life, and dispersion of the quality and stability throughout the general working population. If we are being honest with ourselves within the software industry, then we are major enablers to devolving the quality and stability of what jobs that do exist. For example, through the delivery of software that enables decision makers to take what used to be highly unprofitable processes of manually scheduling staff and following up attendance to ensure only part-time employment, and making it not only feasible, but highly profitable.


Looks like "6 Mar 2001" according to the link that goes to the article.

He recently appeared in the news for "quitting" India: http://www.livemint.com/Money/Hii5NshplbswnJpcb0cHgM/Jim-Rog...


I'm traveling in Argentina right now, and I downloaded the app before heading out. Then saw this screen: http://i.imgur.com/QvaIf0w.png while trying to use it. ... doesn't this defeat the original purpose of the app?
