Browser Routr helps me keep most of my browsing in my daily driver yet still test and use the company intranet on another browser. Unlike similar tools it's relatively transparent, not requiring right clicking or copy past ing.

https://snapshop.netlify.app A search engine of all products selling on Shopify. In the same state as it was few months ago. There's obvious way forward but i need to get a job first. Also related https://stroget.now.sh

How does this work?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've thought about writing something like this. Right now I use a spreadsheet. The "killer feature" I've been looking for is the ability to compare things. Like, if I paid an extra $100 a month, how much faster would I pay off the loan and how much money would I save in interest. Also maybe different repayment strategies. Like one where your payments get gradually lower every month and one where they get gradually hi…

I’ve got these features in the backlog! I’d love for you to play around and provide some feedback on current state! Everything is client side and reactive to your plan changes so it’s easy to quickly see how your changes effect your plan.

You should ask for term length and then calculate the minimum monthly payment, because I don't have to look up the minimum monthly payment. I notice that "mortgage" account type is missing. I always think that credit cards are tough for things like this because it's such a moving target, you'll probably have to integrate with the banks. Also I guess this is mostly around the snowball method (as you said it was) but my interest is more in, what are the most efficient ways to pay off one or two large debts.

I early-released access to an API for generating interactive chord diagrams. Can be used via Python package, Rust crate, or HTTP API. https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/chord-pro/ It's been/being used by people from many different sectors which is great to see. It's making enough to pay for 2 coffees a month, or at least to cover the server it's hosted on. If I didn't enjoy working on it, I'd factor in my time! It s…

Two coffees! The dream. :D

Are you learning guitar or ukulele and can never remember how to play a chord? Are you experienced with these instruments but looking to discover new chord shapes that you've never seen before?

I wrote https://cortab.fun exactly for these purposes.

It works with any custom tuning of a fretted string instrument. It also tells you what chord you're playing if you select your finger placement.

I built it entirely in Rust WASM using the Yew web framework as a way to see what it was like to do front-end web dev in Rust. I've enjoyed the experience much more than I ever have using js.

It's a little past half-baked at this point but it's fairly minimal and I wouldn't consider it done yet.

I've just started running an interview series with the goal of creating new edges in my social graph.

I have about a dozen participants so far, and am open to damn near anyone.

First one published here: https://www.maxwelljoslyn.com/thedrongo/interviews/karthik-b...

It's an editor and renderer for Fractal Flames[1] written in C++17 with a UI in Qt/QML. Other software that renders Fractal Flames is e.g. Electric Sheep[2] or Apophysis[3].

It's a project that I've been working on and off for 10 years and it's still not ready… Reimplementing it several times certainly didn't help, but I learned a lot in the process! It's grown from a simple for loop to basically a language interpreter.

Sorry for the lack of README or license, but this is still half-baked. I want to release and open-source it one day though.

It's an app for churches (or any live performance) to display and manage lyrics.

I'm missing accounts and some of the more frilly features, like different fonts and backgrounds.

All the info is shared and HN could probably crash it. It's all synced live, so it's very loosely collaborative.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
