I’ve been working on a synthetic DNA assembly company. Basically, I figured out how to assemble DNA for people at a fraction of what it normally costs, so they give me a sequence, and then I make it in real life for them, then ship it to them. Most of my customers have been AI protein designers, ironically. Turns out SOMEBODY has to wrangle atoms in the real biological world and that’s me! After almost a year of work…
You know how sometimes the gift you really want is cash or a gift card, but people often prefer to give you physical gifts that you can open and admire? Imagine a line of faux jewelry that is marked up to real-jewelry prices and that, unbeknownst to the gift giver, comes with a hidden gift card code. So somebody asks you what you'd like for your birthday and you say, "Oh, I'd really like some Lagniappe brand jewelry,…
This is such a first world problem. It's normalized in many 3rd world countries to give and receive cash (red envelopes). Directly not giving money and resorting to gift cards (and roundabout methods like these) just, doesn't make sense to my third world brain is all I'm saying.
I've been working on a local-first personal finance/expense tracker called Tender: https://tender.run Tender runs as a PWA and uses the Automerge crdt and sqlite via wasm. The app more or less runs entirely in your browser (works offline!), though our server proxies connections to pull in plaid/splitwise data. Feature-wise, we're targeting folks who do want to manage their expenses but not have to do fine-grained bud…
Hey, so you may not be targeting this particular market but it is adjacent and something I would pay $5-10 a month for. Have you considered expanding this eventually into a Empower (formerly Personal Capital) competitor? What I mainly use from them is: - investment performance tracking across my various accounts. - retirement planning/forecasting - cash flow, expense, and income tracking overtime. - warnings about up…
We've thought about if we want to tackle those features and become an all-encompassing personal finance, but it certainly is a wide feature set to cover for our team. Right now we're focused on polishing our small feature set, though I appreciate the feedback.
Coming from a trading background myself, I've worked for trading desks and quantitative trading firms, so I've seen many tools used by professionals that are not popular among retail investors, are not very well-known, or exist in the form of heavy and hard-to-get desktop apps. I’m trying to build something web-based, lightweight, and approachable, hoping to introduce a broader audience to these tools.

Just for fun, I'm writing an internet forum software from scratch, strongly inspired by phpBB and the likes. It is split into an Angular UI, C# ASP.NET Core RESTful API and postgres database. I aimed to let EF Core handle the data model in the database and am pleasantly surprised by how well it works. Also updating the database is a breeze with its migrations. The features of a forum seem easy enough, but I find it d…
I miss phpBB forums. Got a link?

While some may not see this as a problem, it’s actually kind of hard to find great Christian apps in the sea of old blog posts of top 10 apps all taking about the same apps
I’d consider myself an indie hacker and built many tools for Christians, but later discovered there’s no great place to distribute those apps. Hear me out. The app stores are good, but they won’t feature a Christian app as app of the day. It makes sense to not prefer one religion over another as a major corporation. What it does do is leave a hole for Christian app makers
Thus https://faith.tools was born
