After decades of tracking my exercise programs in progressively more complex spreadsheets I eventually burned out on metrics and complicated periodization programs to the point where I had almost stopped exercising.

I am now at a place where I simply want the minimal amount of structure and tracking to make sure I can maintain my fitness, so I boiled the entire concept down to what I felt was its essence: enough information and structure to remind you of what is needed today, and how it we

Hey HN!

I used to spend hours drawing all kind of things as a kid. Sadly though, those drawings are long gone.

Inspired by this, I created DoodleDreams. A webapp that brings drawings to life using AI and stores them as memories. You can always look back at the drawings, see who made them, and even know the age they were drawn at.

I thought it was a fun way to preserve those memories. What do you think?

Hi HN,

I built a lightweight Windows tool to organize files by relocating them while maintaining their accessibility through symbolic links.

The idea came from needing to tidy up my cluttered file system without breaking file paths used by other applications. NeatShift solves this by automating symbolic link creation whenever files or folders are moved.

Key Features:

- Relocate files without breaking existing references.

- Automatic system restore points for added safety.

- Moder
