https://pastmaps.com Been working on this as a new way to find, explore, and view old historical maps and aerials of my area. 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…

Damn, for a second I thought this was like weedmaps but for linguini (which would be an awesome site) and then I looked a bit closer. Still cool though!

Going to be piloting in hyper-local form first (one deanery in one diocese), but I'm working on a sort of Nextdoor-meets-Public-Square for Catholics. First just a list of all local Catholic events with subscribe-able tags for target audiences, but then also a directory of local businesses run by parishioners. Maaaaaybe eventually message-board-type features, but that's far enough in the future to ignore for now. No i…

1) can it recognize handwriting? 2) can it identify where a child made a mistake when ‘showing their work’ aka error analysis? A tool that guides a kid to their mistakes would probably be more useful than on that solves a problem on their behalf.

It seems you were meant to reply to francescogior instead.

I’m still actively developing offline and on a temporary domain and using screenshare demos and online surveys to get feedback.

Developing a new approach to the online local business directory portals where we start with the user and their end goal to then suggest businesses and bundle deals

instead of assuming they’ll start with location, category or keywords (plumber, London) and then have to filter based on price and ratings.

The platform encourages local business to cross-promote, cross/upsell and offer bundles with non-competing business.

An example; user wants their pool and garden cleaned and trimmed.

Instead of searching for two businesses and starting two conversations, and payments, the gardener and pool cleaner can come together to offer a Summer clean up.

One click. One payment. Two services. Service is delivered, and we pay out minus a small commission.

It’s more a multivendor e-commerce marketplace focused on local business and cooperation than a listings site.

And already partnered with a B2B2C messaging app that coordinates business and customers via email/SMS - so it doesn’t fall apart once the deal is sold.

I’ll have something to share soon.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

https://imgur.com/a/i0pgsRx 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 would put this behind a VPN to keep it private. I have used this[0] Wireguard setup before, which takes the grunt work out of configuring everything. [0] https://github.com/notthebee/ansible-easy-vpn

Thanks for the suggestion, but this needs to be public, otherwise it wouldn't needed a bruteforce protection.

I've been working on blog powered entirely by GitHub Gists. https://gist.aviperl.me/ With zero extra effort, you get a simple blog. With configuration via settings files stored in a secret gist or on a gist itself, a rich blogging experience. A currently hidden feature that is useful is RSS feeds for any GitHub users gists: https://gist.aviperl.me/avi-perl/rss I'm hoping that the GitHub graphQL API might let me get l…

This is beautiful. I might start using this!

If you provide me with your username and the id of a secret gist for configuration, I'll add your username to the list of users to precompile pages and use the full features.

friendlymail: an open source, email-based social network. Email a new post to yourself, and the app generates an HTML version and sends to your followers. They can comment and like via email.

I tried a self-hosted blog, but comments and likes were a mess. Email was my solution.

I was using 1, until Twitter shut down their API. How do you do this now? Scrape the HTML?
