Two side projects I’m actively working on:

https://openaltfinder.com - To help people discover selfhost-able open source projects.

Been maintaining this for almost a year, and it’s been fun. Keeps me up to date with new OSS.

https://getpinnd.com - A small social network for map makers to created shared lists of places.

Was just a spur of the moment, and ended up building it in little than a week.

https://pastmaps.com

This is my side project turned solo bootstrapped startup that I've been working on over the past 2.5 years. Pastmaps has been solely a US-focused platform since it's initial launch but I'm currently working on launching to the UK and Ireland within the next week. If all goes as planned then I should have a first wave of 30K fully digitized, hi-res, and fully georeferenced 1800s ordnance maps available soon to help folks discover the history all around them.

I'm likely going to need to start building out my own global LiDAR dataset next though. My coverage for the US is quite stellar thanks to the data provided by the USGS' 3DEP program but I'm way out of touch with what's available and possible in the EU. It's gonna be a challenge but I'm excited to dive in.

Automated network port change detection. Scan17 provides a solution to the question:

So your CTO decides to outsource firewall management - and the vendor carelessly leaves a network port open, exposing your production database. How does your team find out before an attacker?

Think of it as nmap port scan diff-ing. If a network port goes from closed to open you get an email or webhook alert. There is a REST API for automated workflows and privately hosted engines will be supported for some plans. There is a wait-list form on the website if you want to stay in the loop.

If you work in infosec / cyber security and are interested in being an early product designer / beta tester, let's chat! See my profile for how to get in touch.

I've got two projects:

https://ALovelyQuestion.com

We create a plan for your marriage proposal. I'm working with an event planner to create this!

https://GetSetReply.com

This does review aggregation for businesses, and then a bunch of tools to help you gain insights, respond to reviews, and get more reviews. I just hired my first Sales/Marketing person to scale.

I will create coupon codes for anyone interested! Email is in my bio

I'm building a family game server that will host web-based games on my local network (although I'm thinking about using something like Cloudflare Tunnel to make it available on the internet).

The first game I'm building is the card game Phase 10, and I'm done with phases 1-7. After that, I'd like to build Carcassonne, and maybe Jeopardy.
