About to start work on a side project. A map-driven web database of films, TV series, books, thatre and computer games based on where and when they are set. So if you want to watch something set in 1880s Paris, you can. Or you want to see something set in China in the 17th century.

Cute names welcome :)

Just trying to get my personal site up and going: https://nassharaf.github.io/ideasthete/

Like the film Rashomon , had not heard of The Rashomon Effect .

Yeah, the rashomon effect was named after the movie. Actually I'm trying to update that particular article with data so check back again in a few weeks.

Also, as an artist, I love the domain name for your sites :)

I'm working on an open-source web app to visualize barbell lifts.

Basically trying to provide the best motivation and resources to help people invest in their physical strength which is crucial to health and longevity.

I'm keeping it strictly based on user Google Sheet data - because over the years I've changed apps and it's always hard to get your data out.

So far I have:

- lots of charts

- an cgpt wrapper to talk to your lifting data and get lifting advice

- the best strength calculators (in my opinion)

- a strength ranking system for squat, bench press, deadlift and strict press.

Tech stack:

- Next.js on Vercel

- ShadcnUI components (the charts are great)

- nextauth

- Tailwind CSS

- ChatGPT 4o

I'm building an app to help organize information in Genealogical research (family trees/family history) - a few months ago I started doing some family research and I was struck by how many of the resources are owned by one company (Ancestry). I want to have an option that isn't within that ecosystem, and none of the other solutions I found had exactly what I wanted in terms.

The plan is to open source it once I feel good about it.

I don't have anything to show off yet but maybe by the time this thread comes around next month I will :)

I am working on Sciter.GLX - Sciter Engine (HTML/CSS/JS) combined with OpenGL runtime working on all platforms, even on those that do not support OpenGL natively (e.g. Windows/ARM and MacOS).

Sciter offers access to OpenGL as by WebGL/JS as by native OpenGL API access.

Idea is simple: pretty much any 3D application needs some form of 2D UI/Chrome. And so Sciter.GLX provides just that - HTML/CSS/JS UI with islands.

Sciter.GLX is also about direct support of as Wayland as X11 on Linux.

Amongst a couple of guitar builds, I'm reverse engineering a bronze woodworking plane from the 80s/90s, a good friends dad used to make them. It's taken me over a decade to track one down, so I'm hoping to produce a set of models and drawings before passing on the original to my friend to hand down to their pending child.

Trying to figure out is there a way for specialized data generate / preperation for agents within an organization.

Most of the startups are unable to document things properly because of the nature of business and speed. But everything is available in conversations over emails / slack and calls.

Can we prepare a brain like graph which is context aware and understands the business and product?

Thoughts?

ChronoCine? Maybe ChronoCine map?

Or GeoChronoCine abbreviated to GCC?

An app to let people generate images of them and their children in Halloween costumes. Similar to PhotoAI but much more limited in scope. Wanted to get more experience implementing auth and payments, creating LoRAs, and some different regulations. Also wanted something that was timeboxed where I could step away when the project is over. Should be ready to start accepting users next week, then will have to figure out…

Tell us more about the implementation. Are you using Flux to train a halloween theme?

Building algorithmic trading models. So far results continue to be good with every model outperforming the market on both absolute and risk-adjusted basis since going live. Since launching https://grizzlybulls.com in January 2022: Model | Return | Max drawdown ------------------- S&P 500 (benchmark) | 21.51% | -27.56% VIX TA Macro MP Extreme | 64.21% | -16.48% VIX TA Macro Advanced| 59.13% | -19.12% VIX TA Advanced |…

I've been curious about doing algotrading for both the data engineering aspect and the quant. Do you have suggestions about books or others sources to get inspiration from ? Is this a one man venture or do you have a group discussing edges ?

I've looked before for good online communities but never found one, I'd be interested if anyone has a source. The best people work for hedge funds so wont disclose anything and the individuals out there mostly are clueless or lucky, I suspect its too hard to find an edge without the resources of a large firm.
