Earlier quoted context omitted.

I like it! I would donate if the homepage communicated how exactly the funds are used. Is the idea that you’ll directly match donators and people in need? If so, there’s the obvious chicken and egg problem, one idea to overcome that could be starting out with all donations going to an existing charity that shares a similar mission (and being transparent about that on the landing page), and then eventually start redir…

also, tax exempt?

At some point, that’s the goal.

https://abriefhistoryofyesterday.com News in the digital age updates constantly. No matter what, there is always some "breaking news". This causes news sites to become more of a slot machine than a substantive source of information. A Brief History of Yesterday tries to be an antidote. It uses Wikipedia to show a summary of what happened yesterday. It's no news anymore, the content is already gradually becoming histo…

Kind of an interesting aggregation but Wikipedia is a lot of information to try and consume for a "brief history" I do like the tree view, but I don't like having to open up the different sections, I think I should be able to get what I'm looking for on the landing page. Also, and this is subjective but something about the UX makes it feel like an overwhelming amount of information, especially the health and environment section. I would want it to feel like something I could absorb in a few minutes.

How are you generating the trees?

I think it's a little bit beyond "half" baked, but I built a thing I call Logsuck last year: https://github.com/jackbister/logsuck The idea is to have a free Splunk alternative which you can set up with just one binary. I use Splunk at work and love it, but it just doesn't seem like a product for solo developers (I can't even find a pricing page on splunk.com), and the primary free alternative, the ELK stack, seems a…

This looks great! ELK is overkill for simple apps, sometimes all you want is to feed the logs from a few services into one dashboard.

Datadog is really great for this but can be expensive

Free QR Code Generator for macOS: http://www.mobiliodevelopment.com/products/osx/qrencoder/ Was released with 30% of features, but seems that people love it as-is. So updates went and getting more and more features.

what was the main reason that made you built it? Did you want to have a QR code generator that works locally on a mac?

I built a mini game engine in JS that allows someone to build a 2D game, but once it was done I started to become bored. Demo (desktop only): https://timdaub.github.io/videogame/ Code: https://github.com/TimDaub/videogame

Pretty cool, how far are you from an interface equivalent to Among Us?

Uhhh, nice idea!

Not that far, I'd say. But I'm really not a graphic designer, so I'd somehow have to overcome that...

I’m working on a simple site builder, like Linktree but with styling and features more to my own taste. Not sure where it’s going long-term though: https://tray.club

Less than half baked, Kong (temp name) is the Goodread for movies.

During lockdown, I decided to watch more movies, including classics. I noticed my friends were doing the same and I wanted to know what they were watching, and which film they were interested in...

Very early. Lots of buggy features. Sorry.

A niche cloud that only runs public auditable source code, built on top of ObservableHQ so the user has the power to read and fork the serverside implementation if they wish https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy/serverside-cells The idea is if we shine a light on server side implementation, and give more power to the end user to see what is happening, we can build trust.

Like smart contracts? I also see relevance with compliance-heavy stacks, maybe integrating something like https://github.com/usnistgov/OSCAL
