I'm also reviving a photosharing app I started years ago. I'm hoping post covid, people will want to get together, take photos and share them.

#184Self-hosted and scalable search engine that indexes every character (not just words) and offers a complex query language (regex, document metadata filtering, etc.)
Core idea is that you can chuck unstructured documents (JSON, Protobuf messages, etc.) into it and perform rudimentary querying/filtering/correlation based on arbitrary fields and values in those documents, without writing a proper DB schema / answering "what will my queries look like?" ahead of time (as you might with Postgres jsonb support for example) and still have substantial portions of your query be indexed.
Example use case: chuck Hacker News comments, Stackoverflow comments, and GitHub issues into it. Then you can search over those and correlate arbitrary metadata across them, e.g. search for some regex that across github issues only where it is referenced elsewhere on HN/SO.
Primarily interesting for exploring/querying across structured documents in complex ways that you can't anticipate before-hand.

We're already on TD Ameritrade and Interact…
I've been thinking about doing something in this space. What are the regulatory requirements (if any) for something like this (i.e. offering investing advice, but without direct management of a user's assets)?

#187Best way to understand is to try: http://vnav.io
A multiplayer browser game with a fresh start every time, that's easy to learn and easy to start having fun, doesn't guilt you into playing (healthy long-term relationship with the player), and has lots of replay value

#188I’m building some projects to slow the internet down. 1. A less addictive Hacker News ( https://hackerdaily.io ) 2. A brief overview of yesterday’s world events ( https://abriefhistoryofyesterday.com )
1. seems like an awesome concept!
