#312I'm writing a programming language for feature-flags/remote-config. I figure a simple DSL has to be an improvement over YAML or a series of forms in a web app.
I'm also generally disappointed by the lack of testing that's performed on feature-flag definitions. So I'd like to have a test runner capable of asserting your feature flag's rules matches your intent.

#313Have been working on my blog ( https://bryanhogan.com ) and writing more about using Obsidian well. Last two posts were first how to use Obsidian to make a website ( https://bryanhogan.com/blog/obsidian-website ) and the latest a tour of how my current vault works ( https://bryanhogan.com/blog/obsidian-vault ).
Also working on DailySelfTrack ( https://dailyselftrack.com/ ), an app to track what matters to you in a way that you find relevant. So it is a mix of habit tracker, health log and journal. Like a spreadhsheet app, but with much better UX. And like a habit/health app, but with much greater customization.
I want this to be a tool highly useful for people who have complex health issues, are working towards ambitious goals, or just want to regularly reflect on their day.
I'm building it since I couldn't find a satisfying solution anywhere. It's local first and does not force you into a subscription, or tries to exploit you with any other dark patterns

#314I'm working on an audiobook service (currently for myself) that will fill in major missing features for platforms like Audible. - Ignore AI voiced books - Show me unread books in series that I have in my library - Experimenting with better search. I have experience with building semantic search systems and have been highly disappointed with Audible's extremely sub-par search capabilities. I want results that are actu…
>- Ignore AI voiced books
My biggest issue these days, is that after spending 1000 hours messing around in eleven labs, almost all female american audiobook narrators sound AI generated to me. I feel like as a demographic they must have sold a lot of voice recordings to the platform for analysis. I have DNR'ed a few audiobooks recently due to this.

#316Working on AuraJoie, a calm, private space to share meaningful photo albums with family and friends.
No likes, no feeds, no noise... just beautiful albums and good energy.
Focus is on memory moments, not social media. Early users are using it for family trips, kids, and quiet reflections.
Would love feedback: https://aurajoei.com

#317WithAudio a one-time payment, desktop text-to-speech app that helps users read better by highlighting text as it's spoken.
Current Challenges:
Technical: It's difficult to consistently parse text from various document formats. The I also wants to expand to more platforms but I know I need to focus on marketing.
Non-technical: The product has seen some success with minimal marketing, but I keep getting distracted by spending too much time on technical work. I know I need to do more for marketing but I keep going to my safe space (my IDE).
I believe in the product but it keeps reminding me how difficult is to get somethig to a polished, finished state for all users. 90% of the project takes 90% of the time and the other 10% takes another 90% of the time.
Appreciate any feedback.

#318Building https://fallinorg.com/ , a Mac app that organizes your files. It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder for you. Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers. It already works with PDFs, text, Markdown, and many other file types. Next I’m adding ePub, and later Microsoft Office and iWork support. If you have messy folders any…
This is perfect for cleaning out my Downloads folder and adhering to the Johnny Decimal system (as a first pass, anyway). Neat!

#319Trying to document my current hobby project, but stuck in the analysis phase. I dont even know what it is. When I try to describe its purpose I get blank looks. People tend to need physical demonstrations to understand whats going on. Its not entirely new, or novel, its definitely not revolutionary, but it is a hybrid of so many things, in a very indirect sense, that its just beyond my verbiage. Not a humble brag, I dont think its amazing or anything. I have just failed to describe it. Have been trying to get a phd I know to look at it, and describe it for me, but he just straight up isnt interested.

#320"Google maps but for old maps": https://pastmaps.com
This is a solo startup that I've been working on for 2 years now. It's a labor of love and I'm very lucky and thankful that it's big enough to surprisingly pay all of our bills. Still constantly feeling FOMO over all of my startup buddies working with AI and LLMs while I plug away at old maps and GIS .
It gets ~80K MAUs and just slowly and consistently is growing organically through word of mouth through history focused communities. I'm currently playing with expanding the coverage internationally as I still only support the US which is a wickedly fun project.
