Fixed the dark mode display problem in my paywall for MagnetStory, and reworked on that a little bit.
Left: New
Mid: Original
Right: Dark
Which do you prefer, new one or old one?
And always remember to use WACG dynamic text color for text to show in different modes.

Spent my CNY enjoying time with fam & friends, also started reading on some tech classics shaping our world today, learnt a lot from these even after years. First is Tim Berners Lee’s 1990 proposal, later became what we know today as the web.

Some old photos from solo trip in Mexico almost a decade ago.
Really glad get these out as making materials for MagnetStory. Always good to see old travel photos.

Exactly, so I do always recommend people manually picking their own travel photos, but just try to minimize the pain picking 5 out of 10,000 slightly πŸ˜‚

Just metadata, thanks for the discussion really didn’t think about a small post would do. After all this is just a simple on device app I’m making, and just try to improve some manual input experience for users (but guess only ourselves could really recognize the best trip photos from our mind) πŸ˜‚

I have users put in location & time of their trip already, so I just try to match these with photos in album, then use some Apple api like calculateaethetiscore (can’t remember the name but in vision doc) to rank these and show as suggestions. Not exactly what the best rec engine do but works now.

Ahhh sry about the misunderstanding. I think what I did is maybe not a traditional complex recommendation engine? It’s just combos of tiny filters for my on device app. Goal is to find relevant photos from a trip long time ago, shrinking scope from 10,000 to maybe 20? Continue down πŸ‘‡

I think I just accidentally coded my first ever recommendation algorithm πŸ˜‚
Now u don’t have to scroll over 10,000 + photos just to find the perfect photos matching that trip, well do the work for you πŸ˜‰
Coming soon to #MagnetStory

Right, I was doing something like β€œguessing the right trip photo for user from over 10,000+ photos” today myself, similar situation else yours, so I agree on the right assumption if location + exercises patterns + routines meet a certain sport, it should give u a reasonable guess as option.

More importantly, it simply tells the story without critiquing the facts, conveying a wealth of information through its lightness and fluidity. Yet, the plot is never the focusβ€”it’s the message behind it.

Beneath the childlike wonder and spirituality, it tells a story rooted in history, religious history, and a slice of human development (from animistic beliefs to fixed monotheism).

I've been thinking about why I love The Secret of Kells so much. For a long time, I didn’t even realize it might be my favorite animated filmβ€”without a doubt.

I love its spirituality, and even more, its effortless grace. Below are my reasons:οΏΌ

Hmmmmm maybe they don’t have data like common exercise patterns for each sport, like idk I don’t really do much sports so just nonsense here, like heart rate goes to 120 for 2 mins then low as 90 for 2 minutes for typical badminton so they would make an accurate guess? Idk if such a thing exists.
