We are working on an app/platform for repeatable checklists. Things like packing and maintenance lists. Adhoc/evergreen lists are also supported.

Plus all the collaborative features that you would expect from a platform.

So essentially Microsoft To Do meets GitHub.

It is still raw but we already use it for our own lists: https://wiederhol.com/about

A new YouTube app/player, for my kids. It allows us to control the algorithm. It’s all LLM translating to YouTube search queries under the hood. Visually it looks the same. The suggested videos come from predefined buckets on topics they love. E.g. 33% fun math, 33% DIY engineering, 33% creative activities. Video recommendations that have a banned word in the title/desc don't get displayed e.g. MrBeast, anything with…

For anyone wanting interesting YT videos for their kids (and not wanting to take anything away from OP's project), I highly highly recommend thekidshouldseethis.com.

That a wonderful resource, thank you!

I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much f…

Interesting, what AI are you using to generate these? Are these straight from the net or is there a post processing pipeline? If so, what are you doing?

Absolutely amazing. Bookmarked, gonna be very useful in 5 or 10 years ahahah

On the other hand, it's so soul-crushingly depressing to contemplate how most youtube content targeted at kids is such brain-addling garbage fucking up their psyche in all sorts of ways, all for the sake of ad impressions... If there's a place for the expression "late capitalism" this has to be it
