I want to build a hacker news clone app using flutter to familiarize myself with backend frameworks. I know Google's firebase is a viable option, and hacker news database can be accessed through API call, but I am more interested in self hosted solution. While exploring for possible options, I found strapi and Parse. Which one is more suitable for this project? Which are the differences that I need to consider while choosing the right backend framework for a project?

Please point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance. :)

I am tired of showing my kids (3-5 years) youtube videos of animals, blippi, Kids TV and so on. Despite being addictive and informative, I somehow (strongly) feel video consumption may dumb the kids down.

I guess, many of us have worked on, and/or explored some of the web contents for own kids during the Covid-19 stay home time.

What are some of the interactive, informative, inspiring, educational, funny web sites, games, contents that you have come across and tried for your kids?

Please share. :)

My online activity seems to be in a loop comprise of hackernews, email check, and google news recently. It seems all these sites are updating very slowly; or am I checking too frequently?

What interesting stuff are you browsing recently?

I am looking for some old content which I know exists in a 2TB backup drive using a Windows 10 machine. Despite using a modern machine, it has taken over 25 minutes and still is looking for it. Searching a nvme SSD doesn't significantly reduce the search time either.

I am wondering why can't we search our local contents and get almost instantaneous (or reasonable) results the same way we get from online search engines. How are these latest machines any better than machines a decade ago in improving user experience (other than entangling settings and silly visual stunts)?

Is there any tool or setup that may provide significantly better search experience in local machines (windows or linux)?
