I'm putting a bit more time than usual into refining Paced Email: https://www.paced.email

Things I'm aiming to achieve during this downtime include setting up some onboarding emails, thinking about team functionality and figuring out the best way to upgrade the power users!

Help appreciated!

Log storage and search system for structured logging data in Rust. i.e a database optimised for logs and log-like data and nothing else. Existing solutions are too inefficient for the use case of logs (TB+/day), suffer under high field cardinality, are based on costly and unnecessary full-text-search systems that aren't well optimised for logs data or just plain and simply can't handle structured data and degrade to…

I'm definitely interested if you OSS, I wrote a little about it here: https://jonathanotto.com/linear-search-benchmark

I'm rebuilding my Acid Machine web based synth + drum machine app using Vue instead of jQuery and handlebars as it is now. Adding some new features whilst i'm there and making it work on tablets.

I have also been working on a more feature complete web based daw type system but that's been on and off for years.

This is what I replied with last time this was asked. I had big plans for April to August, including going to trade shows, and ramping up pop up shop locations. Obviously things changed quite a bit, but it comes to show just how out of control ones business can be at times:

Skincare for men (https://www.mendskin.co). I commented in a similar thread 6 months or so ago, and it’s been solid. First started as D2C, but that proved to be a terrible decision. D2C is effectively dead. Now working with online retailers and my own online store. Wasn’t profitable last year, but so far this year looks good because of our partners.

Oh, and I might start looking into allowing users to use custom domains. I recently made the switch from SendGrid to Mailgun for the email ingress. Mailgun seems to have a more programmatic means of adding domains/DNS via API then SendGrid.

Mostly https://webhookrelay.com/, adding serverless webhook modification feature (currently to store config, secrets, execution logs for debugging) so lots of Go, Rust (For wasm) and Lua :)

This is mostly fuelled now by feature requests where people are integrating forms and other services to report covid cases. Trying to help them for free and ensure they don’t have to pay for service as they are non profits. Partner not happy about these late nights:)

A sound effects generator in the style of SFXR (or its many clones), but with a larger library of sound effects.

https://www.ultrafxr.us/

Under the hood, it’s a software modular synthesizer with certain limitations—for example, the modules can’t be connected in a cycle. The modules are connected with code in a simple language that checks units, so you write “500ms” instead of “0.5” if you need a 500ms delay. If you write 500Hz instead, that’s an error. This part already works.

On the surface, I’m figuring out how to expose the parameters with simple sliders and knobs in a web page. The idea is that you click a button like “explosion” and then tweak the knobs to get the explosion sound that you want. This is how SFXR (and as3fxr, BFXR, JFXR, etc) work, but they have a fairly limited set of sounds.
