Show HN: Whataaabout.com – unique activity ideas for the holiday break

235 点作者 erkjs超过 1 年前
Hi HN, I’ve been working on whataaabout.com with a friend, while learning to code. It&#x27;s a fun little website for those short on time but seeking new experiences. It started from a question, &quot;when was the last time you did an experience you had never done before?&quot;. As human beings we need some degree of novelty, to expose ourselves to the unfamiliar and keep learning throughout our lives. So to add a spark to my daily routine and keep novelty coming my way, I started collecting ideas of interesting and unusual activities I’d like to try out sooner or later. The main selection criteria is things that take a short amount of time and are not too demanding, nor location-specific. I organized them based on categories like uniqueness, humans involved, location, price, time required, and others.<p>I hope you like it, and I’d be happy to hear your thoughts, as well as any cool activity ideas you might have. Cheers!

Some things I noticed:<p>The list is fairly short (70 activities total). Once filtered it would be easier to simply display all matching activities.<p>Many of the &quot;Low&quot; cost activities have significant upfront costs. I wouldn&#x27;t describe Archery as &quot;low cost&quot;, nor describe Astronomy or a board game night as Free activities!<p>It was easier just to read the raw JSON than browse the site. ( The activities are <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;activities.json" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;activities.json</a> and seem to be static, not based on parameters. )

Is there any way to get a permanent link? If I wanted to share an idea with friends, how would I do that?

The first suggestion that appeared for me was “Trying CBD”. Is that really a “unique activity idea for the holiday break”?

My first three recommendations: shooting guns, consuming marijuana brownies, axe throwing. Oh my.

Neat! In the same spirit I&#x27;m trying to put together a minimalist gaming platform for kids that want to learn how to code. The gratification of a game is such that messing with the code if you have access to the source is a given and so far all my kids have taken to hacking on the games almost as fast as they did to playing them. Mission accomplished, nothing like seeing a 7 year old modifying a game and uploading it to a microcontroller, I didn&#x27;t expect that end result but I&#x27;m very happy to take it.

This list includes taking drugs? Do you think it should have an age acceptance for terms and conditions?

I would definitely make permalinks to each activity and make the “surprise me” button navigate so you can hit back.<p>This is pretty neat! I think it’s actually nice that the list of activities is not enormously long, because at a certain point it would just feel like too much work to dig through an entire dictionary of possible things to do. So, if you wanted to keep working on it, I might focus more on refining what you have, for example you could have “how to get started” links on each activity.

I looked at a bunch of the ideas, they were all pretty good!

Not so sure about this. I like the idea but for my chosen filter combo (which would be a relatively common one) there seem to only be three activities?

Really cool can definitely use something like this, thanks! Even more activities would be great.<p>Suggestions:<p>- Perhaps a way to view all activities? or activities within the specified selections rather than having to use the suprise<p>- I noticed repeating activities before hitting the 70 limit, perhaps some memory?

I adore this! It already has neat ideas that never would&#x27;ve occurred to me, and indoor&#x2F;outdoor or active&#x2F;sedentary are the options I&#x27;d prefer to turn on&#x2F;off when deciding what to do. Really looking forward to you adding more suggestions!

A couple of thoughts: I’m unable to go back with my browser’s ’Back’ key. not being able to revisit an activity reduces the site’s usefulness. Also, I’d recommend adding a feature that lets users add activities.

I don&#x27;t really like that &quot;trying CBD&quot; was in the list

Perhaps this is a bit &quot;old man yells at cloud&quot;, and this is not particularly directed at you (as I see it all over the Internet these days) but I&#x27;ve grown to despise the use of fake, AI-generated &quot;stock images&quot; for sites like this. They make me want to get off the Internet altogether.<p>The reason, though, that I think it&#x27;s <i>especially</i> bad for your project is because the whole purpose of your site is to try something <i>new</i>. I like the saying &quot;Be brave enough to be bad at something new&quot;. So many of us get into a vein (often subconsciously) of always comparing ourselves to others because basically all of the examples we see online are the 0.001% experts that make it to the top of some feed algorithm. So, for example, why use a &quot;perfect model specimen&quot;, complete with fake veins, for your &quot;Bouldering&quot; example, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;imgs&#x2F;bouldering.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;imgs&#x2F;bouldering.png</a>? Why use a &quot;Hallmark card perfection&quot; example of a (fake) smiling grandmother and her daughter, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;imgs&#x2F;familyTree.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;imgs&#x2F;familyTree.png</a>, for &quot;Creating a family tree&quot;? An almost fairytale scene for &quot;Scavenger Hunt&quot;, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;imgs&#x2F;scavengerHunt.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whataaabout.com&#x2F;imgs&#x2F;scavengerHunt.png</a> (though apparently some of the cars in the lower right are about to be sucked into another dimension).<p>Your site should be about people embracing the joy of the <i>reality</i> of doing something new, not more fantasy land bullshit that doesn&#x27;t exist.<p>Sorry, will get off my soapbox now and go back to eating my soup.

This is awesome! I have a list of activities somewhere I need to suggest<p>It would be cool to have daytime&#x2F;night filters too if we&#x27;re looking for something to do at night!

I love this! People here like to think that the time for small quirky and lean webpages is gone - well, this is it here and now.

Suggestion: move your filter selections into URL state so people can share what they&#x27;ve specified.

Perhaps adding a page for users to suggest things would improve location specific stuff.

The website led me to a Wikipedia article with a list of cognitive biases.<p>That was fun, thank you.

just give me a button so that I can look at the list, or pre-cache the future results. it&#x27;s obnoxious to spam a button over and over again on a website with poor performance from click-til-load.

I got &quot;visit the post office,&quot; &quot;go to the supermarket,&quot; and &quot;defrost something from the freezer.&quot;<p>...Oh wait, that&#x27;s just my &quot;to do&quot; list for today.
