Earlier quoted context omitted.

Keep working on it. I don't need it right now, but I could definitely see something like this be interesting, the only solution I can think of right now is just searching for different things in a traditional registrar and that's been a frustrating process. Good luck! Biggest challenge is well. One coming up with good recommendations, but two getting it into my head when I need it. I don't know if traditional adverti…

Thanks for the encouragement! Glad you think it could be useful. Agreed, getting a userbase/people who know about my product is probably the biggest challenge (frankly, I think it almost always is), but I'll give it my best shot. If it fails then, well, at least it will still be useful for myself :)

I think the other really useful thing is eventually adding a 'paid' version that's more robust - I know lots of corporates struggle with specific product names because they not only need the domain but need to make sure that no competitor or someone in the industry has a similarly named product, so if your solution could also make sure that when it recommended a domain/product name it isn't in use in your industry or with a competitive project already

I'm making an Andon signalling application that can be used to visualize production line problems in a manufacturing company.

Andon is a powerful tool in the lean manufacturing concept, because it highlights problems, raises employee awareness, and encourages responsible persons to solve them quickly.

There are many commercial packages available but they are often very expensive or inflexible. I feel that many companies would greatly benefit from having such a system but don't have it due to the costs involved. I'm trying to build an open source version that can be configured to many different situations.

Over the break I started an ambitious project merging many ideas I've had in the last 3 years. This is the first note: Synergize Studio

A place where teams can reach their best potential Dictionary Synergize: combine or coordinate the activity of (two or more agents) to produce a joint effect greater than the sum of their separate effects Dictionary Studio: a room where an artist, photographer, sculptor, etc. works.

a gym, to train, to improve Personal Coach, simple, natural, fluid

As I start with the end in mind, I flip the way I usually do personal projects. I started with the website, and doing happy paths POCs just to add more content to the site.

As I work on the site, 3 main audience came to mind

For individuals private, you control who can see your data, Skill tracker personal development, short term and long term goals Career development, current role and next steps organization agnostic, your info moves with you if you change companies Career path

For teams Share and get to know your team members Conflict resolution tools Trust building Goals Norms and processes Discover the landscape

For leadership, Inspire Anonymous Aggregated information, feedback, reward, incentivize influence.

The site is somewhat mobile friendly, I'm currently working on the teams page

It's a tool for dev journaling. I use it for tracking tasks, marking accomplishments, and to back up my decisions. I have a really poor memory so I do little mind dumps multiple times a day. So it's sort of a log of your day.

It's pretty bare bones right now. You can write logs in markdown, tag them for easy lookup, and mark your favorites. This weekend I'll probably release a new feature for adding task lists to logs. I have the backend finished and have started in the front end implementation.

We're building a collaborative meal planning site for personalized nutrition. If you've ever tried to improve your wellness or fitness through nutrition, you likely found yourself preparing more meals yourself. We think it takes too much time to pull together recipes into a well balanced, tasty meal plan that helps you achieve your goals. We intend to fix this at Fresh Batch. Two of my buddies and I have been hacking…

Added my name to the list. Curious to see what you come up with!

I built an app to visualize and analyze basketball shots and shooting pose with machine learning.

The result is pretty nice. However, the only problem is the slow inference speed. I'm now refactoring the project structure and changing the model to a much faster YOLO model.

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?

Main reason is playing with macOS frameworks. And second - i've seen that all other apps using online backends. So they can't be used if computer is offline.

I’ve been working now and then on a turn-based text RPG that is played in Discord (but really it’s API-driven so other clients are certainly possible). Passion project of mine from my childhood love of MUD’s and JRPG’s, up through early MMO’s like Everquest. Needs a lot of work and better docs but the first area is playable.

https://github.com/veemshq/veems An open-source platform for online video. (Looking for ReactJS and/or Python help! https://veems.tv/discord )

If you don't mind me asking, what is the value-add compared to PeerTube? (seems to be the popular option right now)
