Recently it was mostly updating my wiki ( https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge ). Now, it's working on https://github.com/learn-anything/learn-anything and picking it up again.

Ok, honestly, this is one of the most fascinating things I have seen in a while.

I'm working on a visual search engine for screenshots, videos on iOS/macOS ( using OpenAI ClIP + Core ML ) https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/sorting

Is this so I can search something bothering me on my screen? Or do you mean it's for searching my own personal screenshots on the device?

It's for searching your own personal screenshots on the device.

I created a simple, low cost alternative to square appointments called Unstuck (beunstuck.me). You can use it for managing virtual appointments (booking page, payment handling, creating event). I use it for my math tutoring business, and am hoping other tutors and content creators can use it to connect with their audience in a different way.

I’ve been running https://kvdb.io as a side project for a while. This weekend, I woke up to a bunch of alerts that the server had run out of open file descriptors (rookie mistake, I never expected to receive more than a thousand simultaneous requests).

It turns out someone wrote a tutorial on how to automate COVID-19 appointment slot bookings and used KVdb to store SMS OTP codes. Never expected it, but a great surprise. Long tail of SaaS is just wonderful :)

I am writing a basic database from scratch in C++, trying not to use any third party dependencies. I followed bits of the cmu videos to get started. It's not something I knew about before starting but it's a lot of fun and I got to learn a lot so far.
