I am making https://gpxgo.com , a route planner for road cyclists. I am aware of the existence of strava and komoot but I had some frustrations creating specific routes using their apps on mobile. Especially adding and dragging waypoints to a route was a focus point. In addition to exporting the route to a gpx file, the website allows to view the elevation profile and road type.

This is really interesting as I am looking for a route planner that I can use with my old Garmin Edge without having to do 3rd degree API connections in the background every time. All I want is a route file that I can copy on the device using a file manager. Can this tool work for me or do you know other bike computers you were able to use this with?

If your old Garmin is compatible with the Garmin app you can download the gpx file then open it with Garmin app and sync it to your Garmin edge. Not sure if moving the gpx file to your Garmin using a file manager will work.

This looks cool, but please add translations, I don't speak Dutch(?). :) One question: are you using OpenCycleMap? If not, it would be worth adding as it highlights a lot of the safer routes, such as Eurovelo and local bikeways.

Yes it's Dutch, will add translations soon. I like the OpenCycleMap suggestion. I am indeed looking for ways to highlight safe or nice roads by using OCM or maybe Strava segment data.

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…

Hey that sounds similar to what I’m working on![0] Neat to hear about other implementations.

https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash This is what I wish Dropbox was, a simple layer that make interacting with your FTP server easy so nobody has to own your data. The end game is both to be feature complete with Dropbox and be able to change every aspect of the application through plugin so everyone can get out what they want from it. To do that, I’m making the core a sort of framework to build file manager…

What about TBs transfers over Internet? People like to copy VMs..

Does it have any form of brute-force/DOS protection or a way to slap fail2ban for it? One of the reason I would replace our IIS FTP with this, it's constantly under attack and I'm too lazy to write another bruteforce protection script.

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…

I understand this isn't the direction you're going in, but I would love a desktop app which could edit documentation (mainly text, but with diagrams), but save it locally to be checked in to Git. Imho documentation should be near the source, and go through the same branching and PR workflow that the source it describes goes through.

Ideally the desktop app would be a GUI which was easy to use, providing the basic features of Word or LyX or a markdown editor such as basic formatting, bullets, headings at various levels. Ideally some kind of diagram editor as well.

Ideally it'd save in a format which was reasonably amenable to being saved in Git and being merged from various branches, and which wouldn't be too verbose if you're looking through a PR on GitHub etc. So a text format, with no "# Created on " fields. I have to say LyX solves most of these points so that's what I use at the moment.

I'm creating a 2D ant colony simulation that runs 24/7 in your browser. It's supposed to feel like a pet and you're supposed to want to keep it alive and check in on it as tunnels are dug, ants are born, food is found, etc. You, the proud owner of some new ants, must keep them alive. For the MVP, you'll just get a ration of food each day when you show up, but there's a catch. To unlock the food, you need to arrive at…

It reminds me a bit of Viridi: https://store.steampowered.com/app/375950/Viridi/

I don't have any suggestions, but I want to build my own version now. Emergent behaviour FTW.

I’ve been working on a Jekyll SQLite plugin: https://github.com/captn3m0/jekyll-sqlite.

Jekyll let’s you use CSV/YAML/JSON files as data source, but they’re unwieldy since the schema is fixed.

The plugin is meant to let you reshape your data before you use it within Jekyll. You get complete flexibility of SQLite, to let you join tables, use indexes etc.

What I can’t figure out is how to best do “dynamic” queries, say a query that needs to show the number of reviews on the restaurant page (restaurants is the table). Each of these page will need to run a dynamic query with the page.id variable.

SQLite Injection isn’t a big issue, since this is all trusted input. But I’d like something better than just Templating queries using liquid.

I’m doing some parameterized queries on the global level (see README). Need to find a nice way to do them locally.

Maybe just putting them in metadata would be a good way?

https://www.pgrammer.com/ Coding interview practice questions like LeetCode but using GPT to analyze the code and provide hints when you get stuck. It will also look over your submission and give feedback like an interviewer. I've conducted A LOT of interviews and have been the interviewee plenty of times. To me the hardest part about prepping on LeetCode was that I would sometimes get stuck on something. Not necessa…

Oh nice, this could be my new favorite thing. It's less lonely than the usual. It's great for warming up, basically just trying to code from memory instead of relying on docs.

I love that it yells at me for naming my variables "xxx" too. I also love that it goes all "Candidate did not follow instructions" when it tells me not to use a specific function, but also tells me that the solution would get the right answer. It's just one of those things you wouldn't try on a real interviewer, but want to try to see if it works.

But $96 per year is quite a commitment for something that I could get bored of next week. Would be nice if there was a monthly option.

Still heavily in development but have been surprised by some early traffic stats (1-2K organic uniques / mo and growing 200%+ m/m right now) Hoping to add in more advanced map tooling within the next week or 2, including new basemap options, 3d terrain view, and then a proper search box which…
