https://www.tree-annotation.org/ minimal universal syntax alternatives to JSON, XML, and S-expressions slowly baking on top

You might want to put an example of the syntax on the landing page.

I have been to the "comparison" page and I'm still not sure what it looks like, because of the heavy highlighting (are the big dots part of the syntax? Are the tiny square brackets?) and there doesn't seem to be another example on the site.

Its not really half baked but was stuck in a loop of adding new features on top , while starting the project , i was pumped up to build it. it is like google keep, but for storing and sharing code snippets, most of the ui is inspired from google keep and i have added more features on top of that, i named it codekeep (google keep for code snippets) i can summarize codekeep as , Codekeep lets you organize your code sni…

This is really cool! I like gist but it lacks some features.

A "survival wiki." I built it for myself. It's mediawiki on a raspberry pi zero, AC/DC powered, with an e-ink display. It connects automatically to a known wifi network and displays the connection details. When the wifi network goes down however, it automatically switches to access-point mode, allowing you to connect directly to it through your phone or other wifi client device.

There's still some quirks to work out, but it works well. I store personal knowledge on it and I don't have to worry about rebooting my primary computer (and taking down the wiki), or a power outage preventing me from accessing my information.

http://mathb.in/ It has been in its half-baked state since 2012 when I wrote it in a single night so that I could share solutions to mathematics puzzles my friends and I used to challenge each other with. Somehow the use of this tool spread from my friends to their friends and colleagues, then schools and universities, and then to IRC channels that involve mathematical discussions.

I would encourage you to keep working on this - IMHO it has potential in that scientific collaboration (also in mathematics) is increasingly done by globally distributed teams.

You may need: - user/ID management - linking to Overleaf/GitHub for collaborative authoring of jointly produced output (e.g. papers to publish a proof) - integration (e.g. via HTML snippets) in user's personal blogs.

There's semi-competition from e.g. Mathematica notebooks and the likes, but these are perhaps more targeting single authors, not conversations/teams.

I've been working for some time on a capture the flag web game called Rock Paper Scissor Battle!, which is basically a simplified version of Stratego, but the pieces are rock, paper and scissor instead of numbers). Its open source on my Github: https://github.com/daniel-bytes/rps-scala , the backend is Scala and Redis and the frontend React + Typescript. I have a live version of it up at http://rock-paper-scissor-bat…

This is cool. I particularly like the styling.
