Here is one of mine: https://github.com/rbitr/ivc

Version control for ipython notebooks, the goal is to be able to use a Jupyter notebook in a hacky, iterative way, but track your versions and the output they produced in a searchable way so that you can capture what you've learned. Still a lot of work and research to do to make it something people can use.

https://github.com/aptrinh/Radio-Qt5

An Internet Radio app with local playlist (.xspf) support.

I still need to make a feasible .exe for Windows (preferably pyinstaller with --onefile but apparently assets are missing unless I place them right next to the .exe - in which case, it won't just be one .exe I will ship to users =( )

This is a project I built to help with my job search. It pulls Stack Overflow job listings (using the RSS feeds) and maps them based on the city. It only supports cities in the United States or fully remote companies at the moment. It's functional but definitely half baked.

Main tech: Rails and Leaflet.js

edit: I would love some feature suggestions if anybody has any

https://documentation.page/

A documentation website generator for open source. No need to pollute your Github repo with html+css+etc etc files, just write markdown and point your domain there and it'll render it. Example output for a paid project (my own):

https://statux.dev/

The main fear from multiple people is that the project might "go evil" at some point and add ads or similar to project's documentation. I definitely don't plan on that (that's why I'll charge for premium features!) but totally understand the fears. The project is already "successful" for myself, so how can I dispel these fears from other devs?

Https://swapiverse.com/ It's just our pre-launch page for now. We are planning to match users and allow them to swap books with each other. As of right now, I'm not sure how to avoid scammers... that's my biggest issue.

Maybe have them take a photo of the specific page of the book? Like the one with the copyright and publishing info? At least then it’s some indication that they have the book.

You could scale up a bit using mTurk and the OCR to verify.
