I made a Python library that can be used to simulate the combined effect of financial patterns (e.g. salary, inflation, investment gains, etc) over time so you can plan your finances better. It's currently on my GitHub and I'm looking for new things to add to it :) https://github.com/TimoKats/pylan

Custom Github action written in Ruby. Checks if version is upgraded when updating the repository. Prevents creating a new release with an outdated version in the code somewhere.

On: Show HN: Time Flies

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' />

Today I added support for RSS enclosures. So you have full support for podcasts/audio formats.

It suppports links already. So it’s not a lot of effort to add this. Good idea will look into it!

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.
