I'm exploring H3 (the hexagonal index from Uber) with all of the free geospatial data I can find!

#283I'm trying to incentivize people to build IRL communities instead of AI-related apps because the demand for human interaction FAR outweighs the supply. My platform ( https://onthe.town ), is basically Shopify for social experience clubs. Anyone can start a club and create events based around bringing random people together IRL based on shared interests. You get your own website and infra that handles signups, payment…
There was a startup in my region who got popular with the simple idea of having a website/service that manages simple events, like talks, presentations etc.
I think it started with mostly students using it because there used to be a lot of university-related events like these, and eventually they’ve become the standard platform for that, at least in the State. It was all pretty simple, it managed payment etc. and you’d get a QR code by email or in the app that could be scanned in the entrance.

#284I'm currently building Visirya, an app that helps people record their night dreams and transforms them into short videos and written journals. The bigger goal is to use this dream data to create dream cartographies, essentially maps of recurring themes, emotions, and symbols—to uncover patterns and insights across dreams over time. So far, we've built the video generation and dream journaling features. The app is liv…
Super cool! I'm building in the same space but for Muslims - Dreamstate: Interpret your dreams Islamically https://dreamstateai.replit.app/
I tried your app - it's quite abrupt to go straight to Access Microphone permissions. The voice recording took a long time to analyse, it timed out for me. It's a great idea but didn't work for me unfortunately.

#285Trying to use Claude Code to crank out 100 free AI-less tools & apps. Hoping this will give me some decent passive income when I finally retire.

#286Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is so incredibly important, well done. The problem of our food being steeped in plastic hits the news here and there, but it should be front and center in my opinion. Testosterone has been plummeting for decades and it scares the heck out of me. The hormone whose job is "form goals, shrug off failure, and try again!" is being destroyed and corporations are given a free pass to pump us full of phthalates and bisp…
Plastics could be part of it, but three years ago Cleveland Clinic said it could also be weight, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, diet, and alcohol https://health.clevelandclinic.org/declining-testosterone-le... And anecdotally, I've still been forming goals and shrugging off failure five years into suppressing most of my endogenous testosterone with exogenous estrogen Have you had your levels checked?
Well that's great for you, but I was making a generalized statement about the role of testosterone, scientific data showing huge decline, and more and more studies linking it to plastics. We can't just alter a key hormone within the span of a few decades and shrug it off. My levels are great for a 40 year old
And yes there are certainly other factors, but that's not what the original comment was talking about?

#287Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year PlasticList discovered that 86% of food products they tested contain plastic chemicals—including 100% of baby food tested. The EU just lowered their "safe" BPA limit by 20,000x. Meanwhile, the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe. This seemed like a solvable problem. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent testing of s…
What would be a good strategy to prevent companies from cottoning on to this and gaming the system? They could for example change packaging on production runs for a product that’s undergoing laboratory.love funding campaign.

Confidentiality is very difficult to guarantee. You may want to put some brackets on what your users can realistically expect and give them tips on how they can stay anonymous. But lovely and novel idea, really neat to see these kind of cross-overs.
On the app's dream input page, it specifies a bit more "Your dreams are private and not stored or collected." - would that cover it? Thanks for your feedback and encouragement!

#289Adding some new features to my static site generator: https://github.com/julien-blanchard/Loulou Glad I ditched Hugo a few months ago.
Looks interesting. I use Hugo, and would be interested to know what you love most about this compared to hugo.

#290Just an old hobbyist these days. I'm finishing up the written manual portion of a "breadboard helper" for playing with (learning) electronics. The current "helper" I am finishing up gives you instructions (and an explanation) for wiring up over a dozen transistor logic circuits with the aid of a small PCB + breadboard [1]. Inspired by Forrest Mims III, Don Lancaster and the "75 in 1" style electronic project kits my…
Very cool! Where's the loopstick antenna, CdS cell, and meter, though? :)
Ha ha, patience… Wait for the sequel. There's only so much room on a breadboard.
