I'm working on a new app for creating technical diagrams - https://vexlio.com . It's an area with some heavyweight incumbents (e.g. Visio, Lucid) but I think there's good opportunity here to differentiate in simplicity and overall experience. I'm still in the fairly early phase, and I suspect I haven't quite found the best match of features to customers yet. From a dev perspective this area has a ton of super interes…
Visio and Lucid are trying to cover everything at the expense of practical convenience. Pick a lane and stick to it. Good luck!!!
I just quit my "day job" to work on a business I've built with some good friends! We make stingray-resistant booties -- ie, if you encounter stingrays in the shallows, these greatly reduce the chance you get stung ( https://mydragonskin.com/ ). I'll be in charge of a couple marketing efforts, helping with Youtube, and other odd things that come up! My day job required me to go into office frequently, and I'm really f…
Classes and workshops, something with the same people that occurs over several weeks. But it’s important that the content is something you’re personally interested in.
I'm working on Tennis Scorigami - a data viz and tennis centric project somewhat similar to NFL's scorigami, but with a little bit more (if i do say so) interesting visualizations / new ways to look at the data.
From a technical side, I've processed around 325k+ matches. Right now, only main ATP / WTA matches (no challengers, no doubles, no mixed) sadly. I'm working on expanding that, improving our infra layout, exposing a public facing API, collecting the data on my own, and most importantly live score ingestion (especially given the fact that Wimbledon is starting tomorrow).
Feedback on the app through Canny / joining the Discord / following the Twitter / or any and all of the above would be much appreciated.
Working on a POS for my wife's stationary and office supply store in mexico. Hosted on my on premise hardware raspberry pi. I will upgrade from containers to kubernetes soon. xplaya.com && papeleria.xplaya.com
I've been working on a 3D voxel-based game engine for like 10 years in my spare time. The most recent big job has been to port the world gen and editor to the GPU, which has had some pretty cute knock-on effects. The most interesting is you can hot-reload the world gen shaders and out pop your changes on the screen, like a voxel version of shadertoy. https://github.com/scallyw4g/bonsai I also wrote a metaprogramming…
10 years? Man, I envy you. Seriously. You say you work on it in your spare time so it's no like is your life passion or something like that right? How do you keep momentum? I have hundred of never finished projects, and I really struggle to finish them or work on them enough to want to keep doing it. Teach me.
jq Jake: An interactive challenge based approach to learning jq for JSON processing. https://jqjake.com
jq is an incredibly powerful tool, but it's not always the easiest tool to use. LLM's are remarkably good at constructing filters for most uses cases, but for people that work with JSON a lot, learning jq can be real benefit.
FOSS toolkit for SRS and adaptive tutoring systems. Inching closer to proper demos and inviting usage.
In essence, I'm looking to decouple ed-tech content authoring (eg, a flash card, an exercise, a text) from content navigation (eg, personalizing paths and priorities given individual goals and demonstrated competencies), allowing for something like a multi-sided marketplace or general A/B engine over content that can greatly diminish the need to "build your own deck" for SRS to be effective.
Project became my main focus recently after ~8 years of tiny dabbling, and I've largely succeeded at pulling spaghetti monolith into a sensible assembly of packages and abstractions. EG, the web UI can now pull from either a 'live' couchdb datalayer or from statically served JSON (with converters between), and I'm 75% through an MVP tui interface to the same system as well.
I am a PhD student and for a while now I'm designing and developing a distributed network protocol that enables dynamic resource allocation across heterogeneous nodes, to which I called Rank. It's designed to handle computational, network, and temporal resources in fully distributed environments without central controllers, but that could also handle a centralized environment.
Rank implements four core functions: discovery (finding paths between nodes), estimation (evaluating resource availability), allocation (reserving resources), and sharing (allowing multiple services to use the same resources).
What I think it makes it unique is its ability to operate in completely decentralized environments with heterogeneous nodes, making it particularly valuable for edge computing, cloud gaming, distributed content delivery, vehicular communications, and grid computing scenarios.
The protocol uses a bidding system where nodes evaluate their capability to fulfill resource requests on a scale from 0-1, enabling dynamic path selection based on current resource availability. I've implemented it in C++ and then also created a testing framework to validate its performance across different network topologies. This is still a work-in-progress and I am eager to publish results someday!
