#212I'm building an E2EE encrypted Journaling app with option to upload photos and voice recording (that too is encrypted)
The files and content are encrypted on the device and then gets to sent on server and stored encrypted and when you load the app it fetches E content and decrypts on device, with E Key (which is always stored on device, if you lose the key, you lose all data cause we don't store it)

#213I'm building a tool (no AI) helps you outsmart everyone with the methods of Sherlock Holmes: https://todofi.com/

#214I am building a guitar learning platform where the main feature is an RPG game called Guitar Quest. You plug in your real guitar into an audio interface and the game listens to what you play based on whats shown on the screen. Play the right note, the monster takes damage.
The goal is: fretboard memorization, scales, music theory, chord construction, and performance. There's also a tuner, practice tracking, backing tracks you can jam over, and a community for sharing your gear collection.
No AI anywhere in the stack. Just a guitar, a microphone, and some monsters.

#215I'm building an alpaca breeding and show management SaaS which is the first one to combine animal register with a strong approval workflow (think like a pull request), herd management and show management.
No Ai involved but might be something I'll put on the roadmanp to help with breeding decisions. (alpacuna.com)

You are rebuilding tailscale but requiring a centralised hub. I did the same in 2016 (pre-tailscale?) https://web.archive.org/web/20160304013451/https://wormhole.... I am not sure WireGuard existed at the time, and I used SoftEther and based it all on doing outbound tunnels to TCP/443* to avoid firewall blocks in corporate networks. You could explore full P2P by leveraging UDP hole punching: https://cloudnetworking.p…
Thanks! Yes, Tela already does UDP hole-punching. I made Tela because I wasn't allowed to install Tailscale on my new corporate laptop, and no other available solution seemed to tick the right boxes. It started as a simple way to RDP to my home workstation, but then I realised that if I could do that, I could finally pull my ad-hoc home cloud into one tool. The hub model is very much by design, for organisational pur…
Does tela create an L3 network? if that's the case, what do you do to avoid IP addressing clashes? In Wormhole I decided by default to use CGNAT addressing (100.64.0.0/10)
I did not go too far unfortunately, so I did not face problems such as discoverability (do you have to know/remember all the IP addresses from the devices connected? DNS? etc).

#218I’m building a Instagram Story as a standalone product. Not sure if it’s a good idea. Haha.

#220I'm making more and more art. I'm meeting friends, and we sit together and doodle and paint. I've made so much progress in a few months simply by practicing more, experimenting more, and allowing myself to waste paper and make mistakes. A few friends have framed my art. It's nice to do something away from the screen, without any goals besides having fun.
Very wholesome! I find that using cheap paper, and basic supplies from the dollar store really gets rid of hesitation when making art. After all, you're definitely not "trying seriously" when you use low-end supplies...
It's a useful mind trick, but for watercolour, good paper makes all the difference. It's still affordable, so I just bought a second pad for tests and practice. It costs the same, but it's not part of my notebook so I feel better about using it up.
