r/Tilburg

It infuriates me that they act like they own the city, with kids on motorbikes without helmets, eight people packed into an SUV speeding through the city center, and the police doing absolutely nothing. Is this even possible?

Hey r/iOSApps community,

Quick summary of the app based on the sub rules:
* A – Answer: Solves sunscreen guesswork by calculating a dynamic UV-based protection countdown using the Monk skin scale.
* B – Better: Privacy-first (no tracking/no ads), uses a clean Bento-grid UI instead of medical fear tactics, and features an advanced non-linear degradation formula.
* C – Cost: Completely Free (no ads, no IAPs). Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/burnie-smart-uv-protection/id6770673915

I just flipped the switch on Burnie. I built this side project because I constantly find myself getting sunburned, and after seeing skin cancer impact my own family, I wanted to stop guessing with sun safety. I wanted to build something straightforward that provides actual scientific guidance based on live UV data.

The app checks your local UV index, maps it against your skin profile using the scientific Monk Scale, and runs a real-time protection countdown the moment you log your sunscreen application.

Behind the scenes on how the math works:
The countdown isn't just a simple, linear timer. It uses a fine-tuned calculation that assumes your sunscreen degrades dynamically over time based on actual UV exposure levels. I also built in a conservative safety margin to automatically account for natural wear and tear from clothes, sweating, or moving around.

A few intentional choices I made while building it:

* Privacy First: It is built natively on iOS 17 with SwiftData. Absolutely everything stays entirely local on your device. There is no user registration, no data collection, and no ad networks. It doesn't track your location; it merely uses your current coordinates locally to fetch the exact UV data.
* Clean UI: I deliberately avoided scary medical charts or fear-based warnings. Instead, it uses a clean Bento-grid layout with an ambient background that shows your current shield status at a quick glance.
* Smart Nudges: It sends lightweight local notifications exactly when your calculated protection layer degrades under your current local UV conditions.

The app is completely free to download. I am just trying to get the name out there right now and grab some real-world feedback from fellow builders.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the design or the countdown system!

De titel zegt het al - wat zijn de beste plekken om een mooi uitzicht mee te pakken terwijl je in de auto kan blijven zitten?

Marrokaanse vrienden, wij willen zaterdag met 4 man Marrokko aanmoedigen (met een pilsje erbij) en zoeken een toffe plek om dit te doen. Ergens samen met jullie. Mochten jullie tips hebben, let me know.

Hey,

Ik heb vandaag mijn thesis succesvol verdedigd en wil dit graag vieren! Daarom zou ik graag ergens uit eten willen in tilburg.

Wat is leuk en lekker op de dinsdag?

Vraag zegt het allemaal.

Hello everyone,

I’m a local historian from Strathmore, Alberta, Canada, researching a Dutch family whose story became part of our town’s history. I’m hoping someone may recognize the family or know of descendants.

The family was:
Adrianus Joannes de Bie

Born 18 November 1894 in Dongen, North Brabant
Son of Cornelis de Bie and Adriana Brenders
Occupation: farmer (later butcher, and eventually printer)

He married:
Petronella Johanna Kolijn
Born 12 December 1896 in Loon op Zand
Daughter of Hendrik (Henricus) Klijn and Adriana Koks.

Their children included:

-Adriana Cornelia de Bie, born 20 December 1916 in Dongen
-Anna de Bie, born 12 November 1920 in Strathmore, Canada.
-Henriëtta Johanna de Bie, born 6 December 1921 in Strathmore, Canada

The family emigrated from Antwerp aboard the SS Scotia on 22 April 1920, arriving in Canada and settling in Strathmore, Alberta, where Adrianus farmed. The had two more daughters.

Tragically, on 24 June 1924, their home burned. Petronella and two of the children died from their injuries:

Adrianus and the surviving children returned to the Netherlands. He married Helena Maria Pijnenburg in Oosterhout on 27 May 1925. Their marriage record specifically mentions the death of his first wife, Petronella Johanna Klijn, in Alberta, Canada.

Adrianus and Helena had several children together, including:

Maria Donata (1928)
Cornelia Helena (1929)
Hendrika Petronella (1930)
Gerardina Helena (1931)
Adriana Joanna (1932)
Helena Adriana (1933)

Adrianus died in Tilburg on 28 June 1956. His death record names both wives: Petronella Johanna Klijn and Helena Maria Pijnenburg.

I’m trying to learn more about the family before they emigrated and after Adrianus returned to the Netherlands. I would be especially interested in:

-Family photographs
-Letters or postcards
-Information about the De Bie family in Dongen or Tilburg
-Stories passed down through the family
-Descendants of Adrianus de Bie or Helena Maria Pijnenburg

This research is for a historical article about the family’s tragic story in Strathmore, and I would love to tell it as completely and accurately as possible.

Thank you very much for any information or leads you can provide.

It's 6:30am in the morning what's going on in the city? It's so loud with all the car honkings.

Is er een kroeg / plein dat de wedstrijd live uitzend?

Hi! Mijn vriendin had ons tickets gekocht voor Spoorpark Live aangezien ik fan ben van De Nachtwacht.

Na het nieuws van de annulering zijn we toch naar Tilburg gekomen omdat we al een hotel hadden geboekt.
We hebben al even in het centrum gelopen en meta maze bezocht.

Nu zoeken we nog een leuk restaurant voor vanavond en een avond activiteit.
Clubs lijken niet bestaand ?
Zijn er evenementen die wel doorgaan die we missen ?
Let us know/ Alvast bedankt!!
