Myself and my partner are working on a new type of STEM kit for people who want to learn electronics!

It stated as a bit of a toy but we've got 200 people signed up to the waiting list, so we're doing a kickstarter in November!

I'm working on Tech Talks Weekly newsletter (https://www.techtalksweekly.io/) where I send a weekly email that includes all the talk recordings uploaded in the past 7 days from nearly every software engineering conference.

Each issue includes: - Featured talks of the week highlighting the must-watch talks of the week. It includes a short human-written video summary. - New talks including the complete list of all the talks that have been uploaded in the past week. These are grouped by conference and ordered by view count.

From time to time, I build talk compilations, for example: - https://www.techtalksweekly.io/p/50-most-watched-software-en... - https://www.techtalksweekly.io/p/100-most-watched-software-e..., which made it to the HN front page.

I'm currently working on Listening Facts[0], a music habits visualization tool based on your top tracks. Inspired by Receiptify and every day nutrition facts labels[1].

It started out as a Spotify oriented project but due to their recent API changes[2] I ended up focusing more on a Last FM integration. This wasn't that bad as their API provides more details such as play count per song. I've also added an Apple Music integration.

I posted about it[3] on Last FM's subreddit and I was pleasantly surprised to see that a lot of people shared their labels on the comments and seemed to like it.

I'm currently working on language detection, I think it'd be cool to get a language breakdown of the songs you listen to and for that to be part of the displayed items within the label. Something along the lines of EN- 80%, ES- 15%, FR - 5%

I've also tried getting Adsense on the website but I keep getting denied on "Low Content Value" grounds. I tried some alternatives but the quality of their ads was ridiculous (stuff like "your device has a virus, click here to clean it up")

Working on cataloging a curated list of craft beer venues across the world at https://wheretodrink.beer

Unsure what the plan is going forward with it, apart from adding more venues and more countries. As long as it's fun for me I'll just keep going, but it does probably need a differentiator to be interesting.

Great idea! Where it came from?

Consider placing link to the catalog/places right on the main page, otherwise it is not that intuitive to discover where it is!

I'm working on an iOS app that unlocks the hidden sensors in your AirPods, turning them into a real-time AI posture coach for work and workouts on iOS and macOS. Download: https://www.airposture.pro

How many hidden sensors exist in AirPods? Do they exist in all AirPods models? What about AirPods max?
