I'm building a sensor network management tool for small computers e.g. rasp pis and the like. It'll be open source and solve a lot of annoying configuration details with hosting web services or doing point to point communications between devices. I could really use some help designing a decent front-end.

I am a former principal software engineer at a MAMAA company turned independent educational researcher. My primary interest is in deliberate practice and how to use spaced repetition (i.e., Anki) to develop expertise. I have three primary areas that I am working on and would love to find serious collaborators: 1) I am building high-quality content for math, English language arts, chess, etc. (see [0] for a good expla…

Hello! Would like to reach out but don't know Microsoft products well enough to guess what their fiery email domain is. Do you mean outlook?

Hotmail!

LOL, I suppose "fiery email domain" could mean outlook/exchange if we think in terms of reliability. I updated it to "Microsoft's not cold email domain acquired in 1997".

This is potentially off-topic, but I know that a lot of engineers also make music, so here goes. I run an electronic bass music label called [UUeird](https://uueird.com/) which focuses on experimental dubstep, drum & bass, and halftime. We also have a sister label called [Swampstep](https://swampstep.bandcamp.com/) that focuses on 140 BPM dubstep. We have over a quarter-milliion plays on Soundcloud, and can distribute music to all major storefronts. submissions [at] uueird [dot] com.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Right. But instead of one presenter with viewers its many to many.

One concern I would have with this is secrets handling. Say I'm screen sharing my development environment and I come across a secret, I would want my screen share service to be able to detect a secret is on screen and to either block it out or just cut off the screen share entirely until it is no longer on screen. This likely isn't foolproof, so having a hotkey to pause/unpause screen share when I know I'm about to d…

That's a good idea. Of course, sharing your screen at all would be optional in the "Let's have some company while we're working on stuff" friendly circle of folks.

No Code web app builder, with a focus on simplicity in building web apps for SMBs backed by their own spreadsheets.

Yes, there are countless solutions out there, but it's a growing industry with a lot of room for different niche/providers.

I run SheetUI, and I've seen what my customers do with it. Sometimes they just want to bring their own data (google sheet/CSV/etc), and have a nice UI slapped on top of it with search and filters, often for internal use.

For internal tools, people care only about usability, not how it looks, so WYSIWYG editor is pointless. I plan to focus on ease/speed of onboarding/creation of a web app (less friction to seeing immediate value), give fewer customization choices (less cognitive load), and dive deeper into each customer's domain (we help them do the cognitive mapping from their domain to software).

I'm working on a decentralized identity-based communications project. Think of this as an email (or instant messaging, social network, etc.) where your "account" is yours forever and cannot be taken away. We have email part functioning and there are some real users. At this point, I'm working on the decentralization part, where the identity registry will be put on a blockchain (likely custom Ethereum-based blockchain…

I read through a few pages and didn't get the most important question I have answered. How does this system avoid my identity being the private key itself, a thing which can be taken away?

I currently work for a startup program in Washington state and it's my third program. One of the biggest challenges we have (that I am sure is not unique to our program) is that we have a large community of mentors as well as founders and when we want to connect our mentors and founders together it takes a manual email introduction. I've also put together an Airtable where founders can connect with our mentors, but a…

Hey looks like something that I am planning on building. Is there an email I can reach out to?

I’m the maintainer of OneBusAway for iOS, an open source app that helps hundreds of thousands of people around the United States get real-time information about where their bus is, and when it will be arriving. I’m always looking for more users of the app who are interested in helping to make it better: whether you’re a developer, designer, or just have ideas, I’d love your input. This might be of particular interest…

Where do you get your data from? Do bus riders provide the information after getting on the bus?

Kindred spirit discovery at scale Imagine every human having a huge group of contacts who GET THEM exactly Big data used not for targeted ads but for targeted social structure

that sounds like a cool idea, and I'd love to hear more about it/potentially contribute -- how can I get in touch with you?
