#142Radiant: https://getradiant.app/ Premise: Takes your Spotify and turns it into a personalised FM-style radio station, complete with a snarky, AI-powered radio presenter called Rad. Rad'll quip, read you the news and weather on the hour, announce what you've just heard and what's coming next, gives you biographical info for bands you might not be too familiar with but most importantly; Rad helps you discover new music…
Well, that was an easy sell.

#143Wanting to experiment with Shopify, I decided to make a t-shirt shop for cyberpunk and sci-fi stuff. So I registered a short sci-Fi sounding domain: https://hex7.org and proceeded to toil (many many mouse clicks) away stocking my shop with with hand-designed shirts and coffee cups and then waited. 2 years in, not a single sale : Partly I wanted just to add products and see if the combination of Shopify, Google, and m…
To be honest the t-shirts don't look that great. Maybe there is room for improvement.

#146I’m building https://polyglatte.com a language learning website (and app) for learning with real content like YouTube videos, subtitles, and text articles. Ideal for intermediate and advanced learners.
Some neat features are that we fully parse the text and part of speech tag it, we have a system to prepare for difficult articles/videos with clips from easier ones, and the core idea scales really well to more types of content like chat messages and images (not public yet).
Our focus is now shifting to on-boarding and marketing. We have a few users that have figured out how to really use Polyglatte and they love it and use it a lot but for the most part, many users leave without seeing most of the value we can provide.
It’s a self-funded 2 person project and we haven’t monetized it at all yet.
I have no problem charging for it but I need to figure out how to help people really understand the value we provide and reach more people before it would make sense to do so.

#147This isn't public yet, and almost feels like the kind of thing I'll never ship. I've been working for a while now on the idea of a card / board game. The concept was bouncing around in my head for a while, and I started taking a lot more notes on the idea after my second kid was born (4mos ago). All of a sudden, I had a lot of time to sit quietly in a dark room with my laptop (and help the kiddo get to sleep). I even…

#148I've made yet another magnetometer, but this one its free and no ads. It helped me locate a strong magnet in a hole I had put 5 ft underground. I was then able to excavate to it and install my main water line without digging a huge hole. check it out at: https://www.smartbrosltd.com
I didn’t even know this was a thing that was possible, let alone yet another, and Free!?
Thanks. I’ve been looking for something like this or some sort of sensor setup to do the same.

You should post a screenshot of this!
I'm also impressed you're able to edit while dealing with a fussy baby; I find it impossible to be productive on a smartphone, and my son wouldn't go to sleep if I was standing at my workstation (keyboard noises and the screen are too interesting).

#150Spotify + Anki is an app that helps you learn to recognize songs directly within the Anki flashcard program. It's based upon an integration with your personal Spotify account, and uses your followed artists to generate Anki cards. The card itself triggers playback of a given song (at a random location) on your device and asks you to recall the artist.
There's a demo video on the homepage: https://www.zdone.co/
