https://www.pgrammer.com/ Coding interview practice questions like LeetCode but using GPT to analyze the code and provide hints when you get stuck. It will also look over your submission and give feedback like an interviewer.

I've conducted A LOT of interviews and have been the interviewee plenty of times. To me the hardest part about prepping on LeetCode was that I would sometimes get stuck on something. Not necessarily stuck to find any solution but the optimal one. The hints I'm getting back from GPT have proven to be very valuable and it still lets me code the solution with those pointers.

It's not a perfect product by any means but it's my work in progress passion project that I believe has a lot of potential.

Costco Companion App, available on iOS and Android stores if you search for it.

Idea is to improve and enhance your Costco warehouse shopping experience, mainly:

- Provide platform to enable shoppers to review and rate products and for others to find said reviews. Costco and Sameday doesn't provide reviews, so we try to fill the gap.

- Recently we started showing very special Costco warehouse deals in our app, there's a certain magic to Costco prices, e.g. if something ends in .97 it is extremely discounted but it's never advertised otherwise so we try to bring more of these special deals to our users.

- We have more features and want to bridge Costco communities together.

But... feel like, something is missing still?

I have made many projects, some of which are incomplete. In the case of Free Hero Mesh (a puzzle game engine, like MESH:Hero but many enhancements; in fact I originally wrote it because I wanted to play Hero Hearts on Linux) maybe it is too late (it is ready for use although improvements may be made in future; some features are incomplete so far). I also had incomplete (and not working yet) such as Pokemon Text Battle (supposed to be a Pokemon battle simulator in C, with a C API (do you have some ideas about how this API could work? I have some ideas but I am not sure that they are very good (I partially wrote the .h file so far), so I want to ensure to improve it before it is implemented); there are some features I had wanted to implement that other battle simulators lack, including a telnet-based implementation), and a currently unnamed operating system design (I have many ideas but no name yet; this includes a capability-based system with proxy capabilities, a hypertext file system with no file names and no directory structures (file streams can contain links to other files though, both to a fixed version and do a varying version are possible), a common file format for most types of data which can even be (text, tables, time series, and many others), integrated command-line with GUI, accessibility and multilingualization, non-Unicode, and many other ideas; I have written some about it on Usenet).

KeenWrite is my free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown editor that can produce beautifully typeset PDFs. I started working on it years ago to help write a novel having a complex timeline and I couldn't find a text editor that allowed me to integrate a character sheet with the story itself.

Here's what I mean by using variables from the character sheet directly:

CommonMark doesn't propose a standard for bibliographic references. I'm wondering if anyone would find cross-references and citations in Markdown to be useful?

I had an issue where I had a million droplets with an app on port 3000 because nginx is hard and I'm not that smart, so I made a thing that lets you add a domain mapped to a port super easy, and the request gets dynamically routed to the correct app on the correct port. It lacks https, but is otherwise super useful.

Slack and discord bots for QA over docs. It’s the hello world of LLMs, but my focus is on making them polished and easy to deploy into a docker container. Use them for my current company with ok success. They actually out perform some of the funded startups in the space, but it’s an arms race and I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up against the saas offerings.

https://pastmaps.com Been working on this as a new way to find, explore, and view old historical maps and aerials of my area. Still heavily in development but have been surprised by some early traffic stats (1-2K organic uniques / mo and growing 200%+ m/m right now) Hoping to add in more advanced map tooling within the next week or 2, including new basemap options, 3d terrain view, and then a proper search box which…

Obviously I want to buy a high quality print of the map focused on an area.

Super fun to use. I hate having to “give up” on a question when practicing and this gives me a bit more options rather than just pass/fail

yes! Part of prepping is to gain confidence and it can be very discouraging to run into this before live sessions.

https://mapofthebest.com I love food and I love travel. Naturally I decided to compile a list of all the best restaurants in the world. Still very much a work-in-progress but would love to get feedback.

Like others, bookmarked. So useful, thank you. Feedback as requested:

1. It's a map of "the best", so maybe the default filter shouldn't show "ok" recommendations

2. The numbers on the pins change regularly (I'm on mobile/Firefox). Maybe the pin could indicate the source of the review, or the quality, or the restaurant type? Or not have the number at all.

3. Moving the map around reloads the pins for the viewed area, but it sometimes loads a different set of pins for a big city. Is there a max number of pins being loaded on each map view change? If so, perhaps the max should be higher?

Hope that helps!
