On: Show HN: Time Flies

[Rush2112]

This app reminds me of the marx brothers quote, “Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.”

Clearly the time flies should follow the mouse cursor.

They should change their behaviour as the pointer changes shape as you hover through various items on the screen

Is the dancing banana cursor still around?

"Time flies like an arrow, mouse cursor flies like a cursor"?

Having had friends who wrangled D. melanogaster, it reminds me of the smell of ether and yeast.

On: Convert Markdown files to RSS feed

Hey thanks for your comment. Today I actually added support for this. If you make a markdown link to an audio file it will create an RSS enclosure. Including the file length (if it can be retrieved from header information).

[audio/mpeg](http://example.mp3)

<enclosure url='http://example.mp3' type='audio/mpeg' length='2273741' />

I can answer that first question: For my personal website I wanted to add some updates for different things. But making an entire webpage seemed a bit much and inconvenient for those that wanted keep up to date. So this solution is just less effort (if you subtract the time taken to create an application for it ;))

Hi thanks for this comment. I'll look into Atom a bit more for this tool. Heard a lot about it.

I hope I understand the question correctly. The markdown files are assumed to be in the same folder. The RSS file can be wherever. This is all handled using a configuration file.

Hi everyone, here you can find a demo/article of a small web-app I made that finds the consensus of large sets of text/comments. Thanks!
