https://crowdview.ai - search engine for forums and discussion sites Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great…

I tried "replacing VS Commodore gasket", expecting to see pages from justcommodores.com.au. Those are the go-to forums for anyone into Holdens (Australian cars that are no longer made).

Instead 8 out of the first 10 results were Hacker News? The other two were from from mechanics.stackexchange.com reddit.com/r/CarsAustralia, but neither were about a VS Commodore (instead they were about Nissans).

On the other hand, the very first Google result was literally a topic titled "replacing VS heads gasket" on justcommodores.com.au.

It's an awesome idea but the results definitely need some work.

https://confluo.app - A productivity assistant app that instead of planning your day in advance dynamically suggests you tasks to pick based on the time of the day. Planning ahead never worked for me as something unexpected always came along. Hence I wanted an app that I can open, go through a list of task suggestions and pick the one I like. In addition, I included features like timer, pomodoro, and virtual co-worki…

Looks very cool, and has a ton of potential! I hope this can help me, planning in advance never works for me either.

Dollero - https://dollero.app/ I created a personal budgeting web app which doesn't store any of your financial information in the cloud. Instead your budget data is stored locally in your browser with IndexedDB and is sync'd peer to peer with your other devices using WebRTC.

Would be cool if it can scan your receipts and itemize them.

Looks heavily inspired by youneedabudget (YNAB). Accurate? I assume it is, since you offer an "import" from YNAB. Did you start creating this after YNAB launched their higher prices or what was the impetus? I have my doubts about there not being a dedicated app on the phone. The most important feature of YNAB is being able to easily add transactions and since you are going the route of no automated import, manual tra…

Thanks for taking a look at Dollero. I've been a YNAB Classic (YNAB4) user for almost a decade but was disappointed when they moved to a SaaS cloud based model (even though I understand their motivations). I enjoyed not paying a monthly fee and that syncing was supported through Dropbox where I had full control of my data. YNAB Classic hasn't been supported for a while and I didn't want to wait around for an OS update to kill it so I created Dollero.

I enter most of my transactions on my phone and I agree that the mobile experience is key. Dollero is a responsive PWA so it can be used offline and can be installed by "Adding to home screen" on a mobile device resulting in an experience that is very similar to a native app. I'm continuing to polish and improve that part of the app.

YNAB is a great product and is ideal for people who are new to budgeting and desire an automatic bank account import.

Dollero is for people who want an envelope budgeting system, like YNAB, but are price sensitive and value their privacy. Dollero is free to use. Data syncing between devices will be a small monthly fee (currently free while in beta) making it much more affordable than YNAB, especially for folks in low income countries. Dollero respects your privacy, your data stays in your browser and is synced directly between your devices. For existing YNAB users I've added back some features that were removed from the new YNAB like multi-month view and carrying negative category balances.

Is this open sourced?

It's currently not open sourced although that is an option I'm open too someday

This looks cool! Are you going to support multiple currencies?

Yes! I've felt some pain recently budgeting with USD/CAD and plan to add support for this.

I would love that as well. I was thinking even adding an attachment photo/scan of a receipt could be valuable as a first step.

https://SimplifyRecipe.com The people who use it, love it, but I’m still learning how to tell the story well. The iOS shortcut instantly turns any recipe page into a consistent, usable cooking experience. I’m open to any feedback/ideas about how to tell that story better!

This is great. Love the idea. Finding the recipe in a blog post has become a meme at this point, so this tool is invaluable. I tried it with my favourite sourdough recipe and it didn't handle HTML encoded apostrophes. They display as 's I imagine other HTML encoded entities might also be handled this way.

Mmm thanks for trying it out! I’m working on getting the encoding right while maintaining DB security. This is definitely an issue, though.

https://github.com/schappim/macOCR - macOCR is a command line app that enables you to turn any text on your screen into text on your clipboard. When you envoke the ocr command, a "screen capture" like cursor is shown. Any text within the bounds will be converted to text.

You could invoke the app using the likes of Alfred.app, LaunchBar, Hammerspoon, Quicksilver, Raycast etc.

I like to pump the content into an OpenAI large language model (for example, grabbing receipt data).
