https://github.com/charlesdaniel/s3_uploader It's supposed to be a simple S3 file uploader GUI for non-techy people... 'proud' is questionable :)
So uh... general curiosity here. How often do people bring up 'the devil went down to georgia' to you?

#322I'm in the process of producing my first physical object and it's exhilarating.
I learned a lot about stainless steel (303, 304, 316, 316L...), CNC machining, stamping, polishing, etc. but what's really cool is designing something on a computer and receive a metal object some time later that does exactly what you hoped it would do.
(For prototyping purposes I first 3D print each design, but the plastic version is waaay less interesting than the metal one.)
Should go on sale in 3-4 weeks; super excited.

Some time ago I made a rich text to markdown transformation that runs completely client side; it's available here
It would probably need a serious face-lift, but it's still used by many, apparently.

#323Not as cool as most projects here but this is mine:
https://github.com/gempir/relaybroker
It is a proxy for irc bots on twitch.tv because connections can die and more than 1 connection will make things possible like going around rate limiting. Also joining a lot of channels at once is made easier so the user of our proxy needs to worry less about what he is sending when, we handle that.
Made it together with 2 friends who of mine we all 3 use it everyday for our bots. It was fun to write and learn go while doing so. I wanna improve it everyday but I'm never sure where or what.

#324Meta Meme
https://appsto.re/us/iwO9fb.i
Really simple but fun meme maker. It makes 'new style' memes, as opposed to the old image macros on Reddit.

#325https://www.hiroapp.com - Note-taking reduced to the core that just works™. Offline first, no signup needed, easily sharable (url, sms, email) and (web)realtime sync between all devices and collaborators. My co-founder and I moved on to a new project a year ago, but this thing is still buzzing along on a cheap DO box and works like a charm with basically zero maintenance. Frontend is vanilla JS, backend in Go and the…
Very cool app! It reminds me of http://litewrite.net

#326http://strlen.com/treesheets/ It's a cross between an outliner / spreadsheet / mind-mapper and general note taker. I've spent significantly more hours using it than I've spent programming it, so that's a win in my book :)
This looks awesome! I love the idea. It makes me want to make a web version...new side project?

Spamnesty is really amusing! It would be even better if your bot had a wider variety of responses. I foresee that sooner or later, your bot will get stuck in an endless conversation with a spambot which keeps replying, leading to another round of replies and then another...
Haha, this already happened, I think the 22 response one was a bot. I have a ~8 hour delay before I stop it, so luckily I noticed it and deleted one of my responses.

#328I made a very simple CLI util that prints a timestamp and an emoji inside a rectangle, makes separating and scrolling through repetetive terminal output easier. I use it all the time and it's stupid and I love it. https://github.com/kris-s/learn/blob/master/block.go

I like expounder, definitely haven't seen something like that before. I'd like it if there was an option to have the expanded text highligted in some way, just so I can keep track of everything mentally.
There is an option, it's detailed in the docs. I don't like it on by default, but some people (like you) do, so I added it.

That's a great body of work!
Thank you, the face isn't too bad either!
