Show HN: Piruetas – A self-hosted diary app I built for my girlfriend (piruet.app)
roscas 22 minutes ago [-]
Nice, simple, light and dark theme, a calendar. I would remove the internet checks for your storage.ko-fi.com and it did some calls on pypi.org and files.pythonhosted.org. All it needs should be on the docker by default. But that is just me.

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciated!

Pirueta is not lollipop in Spanish, it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).

Piruetas is pirouette, as in what a ice skater might do.

The funny thing is that I am Spanish, and I tricked myself because we discussed between "piruletas" and "piruetas", and I had the message prepared before the name change, my bad.

> it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).

In Spain Spanish I never heard them called anything else than "chupachup" (regardless of brand), guess it's a bit of a "Kleenex/facial tissue" syndrome going on there.

Well, we would refer to chupa-chups (brand) to the ones with a ball head. And Kojaks if they had gum inside.

Piruletas were the flat ones, either circular or heart shaped.

What about the classic heart-shaped bright red "piruleta" from the "fiesta" brand?

That's a lucky escape.

For some reason car manufacturers have this issue

Mitsubishi Pajero (renamed in Spain).

Ford Pinto (renamed in Brazil).

Toyota MR2 (renamed in France although slightly different issue).

Honda Fitta (renamed in Scandi countries)

That's where LLMs with web search enabled help to check for dangerous project names in other languages.

You don’t need LLMs for this (or most things suggested in HN comments). http://wordsafety.com/ has existed for years.

They don't have "etron" thought, which might explain some poor naming by Audi ?

Wholesale accepting all of the stock Opus colors is certainly a choice.
patillacode 45 minutes ago [-]
To be honest, my non-negotiable was that it needed to have some orange, but that doesn't work very good with a calm, minimalist app, so it remained as the accent color.

The rest wasn't my choice, we just did a few tests and my gf chose the palette you see today.

Having said that, you got a point and I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it.

I don't know, I thought the design looked really nice.

The demo doesn't work (invalid account when using the creds mentioned on the homepage)
patillacode 55 minutes ago [-]
I just tried it demo/piruetas and it works, can you double check?

Can confirm that that username and password are not working in the login page.
patillacode 5 minutes ago [-]
I have tested many times, I have asked other people too... I cannot replicate what you are experiencing, sorry.
outime 57 minutes ago [-]
No offense but creating a brand-new project and giving it a foreign-language name without double-checking, only for the name to be wrong, makes people wonder what else was overlooked.
