It's something I've needed for a while working in engineering teams in B2B SaaS. Currently technical co-founder of AdQuick.com, an outdoor advertising marketplace backed by Initialized.
Not as exciting or big as some of the projects on here, but just a small personal one I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I recently impulse bought an Epson receipt printer, and I’ve started putting together a server in Go to print a morning update every day. Getting it to print the weather, my calendar and todos, news headlines, HN front page. Basically everything I pick up my phone for in the morning, to be on pap…
After 2+ years of maintaining the FOSS lightweight Reddit frontend Redlib [0], I realized that my niche but extremely detailed knowledge and experience of using Reddit's endpoints might be useful. After reverse engineering the mobile app and writing code to emulate nearly every aspect of its behavior, plus writing a codegen framework that will auto-update my code from analyzing the behavior from an Android emulator,…
What makes you special in this aspect? Seems you are small fish now, but if your niche project picks up steam. Nothing to stop them from cutting you off or forcing you to court/injunction and waste your personal resources.
Interested in collaboration, feedback, and all other things.
I finally compiled and expanded on all my various blog posts, tutorials and other Python goodness into a book: Working with Python. It is available as a free pdf download at: https://mkaz.blog/working-with-python/ It's grown over a dozen or so years and when I finally decide to compile into a book, everyone now uses AI and no longer read and learn from books but instead through LLMs.
Started as a very simple app for me to play around with OpenAI’s API last year then morphed into a portfolio project during my job search earlier this year. Now happily employed but still hacking on it.
Right now, a user can create a quiz, take a quiz, save it and share the quiz with other people using a URL.
Demo: You can try out the full working application at https://quizknit.com

I got tired of using the AWS console for simple tasks, like looking up resource details, so I built a fast, privacy-focused, no-signup-required, read-only, multi-region, auto-paginating alternative using the client-side AWS JavaScript SDKs where every page has a consistent UI/UX and resources are displayed as a searchable, filterable table with one-click CSV exports. You can try a demo here[1]

So, I embarked a couple of weeks ago on my journey to build a relational database, which checks the boxes for me personally and I hope that this will be useful for other developers as well.
Project priorities (very early stage): - run code where the data is - inside of the database with user defined functions (most likely directly rust and wasm) - frontend to directly query the database without the risk of injection attacks (no rest, graphql, orms, models and all the boilerplate in between) - can be embedded into the application or runs as a standalone server - I hope this to be the killer feature to enable full integrations tests in milliseconds - imperative query language, which puts the developer back in control. Instead of thinking in terms of relational algebra, its centered around the idea of transforming a dataframe
Or in other words, I want to enable single developers or small teams to move fast, by giving them an opensource embeddable relational firebase.
If you have any thoughts on that, I would love to talk to you.
Saturated market riddled with alternatives, but I wasn't really able to find low friction way to collect these things that met all my needs. Most of this stuff gets lost in DMs or comment sections, which just wasnt working for me.
Also figured it would be a neat way to re-think paying for a creators attention. IE, giving the option to tip (and soon subscribe to a VIP inbox of sorts).
