https://www.inouts.com

I build Inouts - a search engine for online tools without BS, with a focus on specific examples of their use.

Instead of browsing seo optimized pages, fake "top X tools for ..." rankings or websites full of dark patterns where, for example, only at the end of the process you find out that you have to pay, you can use Inouts.

Currently in the database there are more than 5000+ tools and even more examples of their use. Categorized in over 1000+ tasks they solve. You can easily find the right tool through the search engine and filters such as:

- inputs, outputs

- tasks

- payment plans (free, paid)

- platforms (website, mobile app, etc.)

- features (no account required, no CC required, no watermark, etc.)

Currently works best on desktop.

W nutrition planning app that focuses on looking at an entire week, instead of daily goals. It's based on a spreadsheet-system I've been using for a while: the idea is that you can have a pizza night and eat a little bit more on Friday by recovering from the extra calories throughout the rest of the week.

Mind sharing a link please?

I am building a sort of SQL query engine compatible with several databases (bigquery, snowflake, duckdb, clickhouse, spark) in order to add more power to the SQL query language bringing multi dimensional capabilities to SQL and more. The project has been released few months ago and available on GitHub https://github.com/squashql/squashql

I build https://amazing-gains.app where you can manage your workouts and some nutritional metrics. One focus is on data protection, so you should be able to easily download your data whenever you feel like it. It is also supposed to work offline (PWA) as I personally have very poor connectivity in my basement gym :)

Currently it is completely free but I would need to assign certain permissions to new user accounts so they can create exercises and workouts. I would do that for everyone who signs up today.

I have been working on a web app that makes tutorials for elderly people who struggle with technology. Something as simple as "turn off the wifi and turn on data" can be a struggle for a lot of people. My plan is to make tools for making tutorials customized exactly to the users phone / desktop screen. So if an icon is on bottom right, the tutorial should mirror the same. I have sporadically worked on it for the few…

My experience of building accessible systems for low-literacy user groups is there's pretty much no such thing as dumbing down too much.

But the one big lesson is user test, user test and user test again. People will get tripped up by all sorts of stuff you can't see coming.

The good news is it sounds like your app could be mocked-up cheaply to get it infront of people to test your hypothesis before you've spent too much time building stuff.

There are umpteen agencies around that can help with research like this, including finding appropriate cohorts of people and even doing the user testing on your behalf. It sounds like it would be well worth the money.

Is it too developed if it’s in private alpha? Anyway … I’ve been working on CodeApprove ( https://codeapprove.com ) for a while because I think code review is the biggest shortcoming of GitHub. The idea is to make a code review tool for power users. Just like you have an editor that makes you productive at writing and reading code, you should have a review app that makes you and your team productive at reviewing it.…

This is really, really cool. Great landing page—solid design, effectively sells me on the features and benefits.

Would love to see it in action—either some video or a way to try it on a private repo. Even if I can’t actually submit a PR review. :)

I am working on an application designed to keep runners motivated: https://www.frenzyrun.com

The main features include:

- Capture the flag: Every week, a virtual flag is planted randomly in various cities. Capture these flags to collect virtual coins, encouraging you to discover new areas.

- Virtual medals: Earn medals by running iconic distances. These medals will boost your experience.

- Groups: Compare your performance with that of your co-workers, friends, and family members.

There's still a lot of work to be done, bugs to fix, and features to enhance. However, it has already helped some of my friends and me to stay motivated.

If you are a runner or want to be one, which other feature can help you to stay motivated ?

I am creating a documentation management software, with emphasis on a diagramming and system building - similar to Draw.io [1] but with better support on PDFs/Files, text/markdown/Latex, web links, and Search.

It is a desktop application and self-hosted, which will allow to sync with your work laptop and mobile devices without the need for 3rd party server. Many online solutions for knowledge management did not make me happy (e.g. Notion[2], Miro[3], Evernote[4]) as they all lacked either diagram building or were online only. There is also an Obsidian[5] for it is too complicated and it's unbelievable that a user has to go through hours of tutorials on youtube to understand how to use PKM software. Hence I created my easy but powerful tool for keeping all the knowledge/documentation in one place.

The desktop app was build using Kotlin Multiplatform (JVM app) with Compose UI framework

You can view(and comment!) the app screenshots here [6]: There are also mockups with more features, so ignore weird UI at first.

I developed a platform called https://rolematch.me, designed to assist job seekers in tailoring their resumes to match specific job advertisements more effectively.

The platform employs a custom-trained Language Model (LLM) to perform a semantic analysis of both the resume and the job description. This analysis then generates practical suggestions that could enhance the applicant's likelihood of bypassing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Ultimately, the goal is to transform a job advertisement into a potential job offer.

Currently, rolematch.me is in its private beta phase. It does not collect or store any user data and is available free of charge. However, we are planning to introduce a premium version that will offer additional features such as cover letter assistance and job search capabilities.

For those interested in testing the platform, the invite code is the *name* of a well-known early cheat code. This code could be activated in the game Gradius by pressing buttons in a specific sequence.
