He's currently high on breathing and hallucinating a bit, don't worry too much.

I'm working on an app to help anyone experience their first lucid dream :)

Very exciting project. It started as a dream journal app many years ago when I was a student, and will now soon have a full interactive step-by-step guide with practical tools to achieve your first lucid dream.

It's android only, but I've started working on an iOS version and am thinking of raising some money or doing some crowdfunding to accelerate the development.

Given my name [1], lucid dreams are something that I used to interested in and have experimented a lot with. In the Elric of Melniboné books, most of the empire spend most of their lives in dreams, as a hedonistic escape from reality. Needless to say, the empire decays.

Who needs an empire when every citizen has a kingdom in their dream world? ;) Hadn't heard about those book though, will look into Moorcock.

For the site on desktop Firefox, it seems you are very proud of the slider-frame, but we probably don't need to know the UI component identity :)

Thanks for catching that!

Thanks for your answer! OSM is awesome, I use OsmAnd+ and have just discovered Organic Maps recently. I still haven't found a project that can do what I'm looking for, after trying uMap, Mapotic, RideWithGPS, Maps.me, mapy.cz, Bing Maps, MapQuest, Organic Maps,and others. So I might try and hack together a custom solution with KML export/upload.

Obviously, this career switch would be a great opportunity for me to move into the back-end world, learn a lot of new stuff, broaden my SE skills, build a better CV and invest in my future.

There are many arguments that I can find on my side to find it disgraceful and why they shouldn't decrease my salary. I feel I shouldn't even have to defend my salary in the first place in this situation, as decreasing my salary is a bit of a low blow.

Some notes: - The startup has a lot of cash - We are ~20 software engineers - I am quite confident that I could earn more than my current salary with my experience if I moved to a bigger city in my country - The other juniors didn't have more professional experience when they were hired, and don't have a better education - I absolutely love the the project, and the other employees, our culture, and the office - Even if I do accept now, I don't know why they'd want to do this to me when they know I am not happy with the situation, as their are making me lose some of my loyalty to the company, taking the risk that I'll leave when I get enough experience on back-end

I feel like they are forcing the pay cut on me, after promising me a switch, then promising there wouldn't be any salary change.

HN, shed light on my situation and tell me what you think.
