been working on a side project for a few months that has me excited to keep iterating on it the more i do it. long story short it's an adaptive learning app for autodidacts. creates a json object which is the foundation of features i build on top of it to help people learn with an end-goal in mind, using peer reviewed behavioral psyc research + AI. You learn whatever you want but it learns you too to help you learn better. not good enough to apply to YC yet but...hopefully soon.

#353At work, I often need to submit PDF documents, but the photos I take on my iPhone are in HEIC format. To make it easier to convert HEIC to PDF, I developed a website: https://heictopdf.run/. It allows you to batch convert HEIC files to PDF online, with all processing done in the browser—no data is stored on the server.

#354I made a film called "Searching For Kurosawa". This short documentary chronicles the story of Kawamura, a man who worked with legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa on the set of his opus "Ran". Kawamura was working in the BTS crew, but his footage got confiscated. It took almost 40 years to recover the footage and present that as his feature film. My film got screened at the Academy Award-qualifying Bali Interna…

#355I'm building an AI for Customer Support.
Here's the summary: - read all your sources - public websites, docs, video - answer questions with confidence score and no hallucinations with citations - cut support time and even integrates directly into your customer facing chatbots like Intercom.
Still deliberating on the business model. If anyone would be interested in taking a look, I would love to show you.

#356Building https://www.typequicker.com Long-term, passion project of mine - I'm hoping to make this the best typing platform. Just launched the MVP last month. The core idea of the app is focusing on using natural text. I don't think typing random words (like what some other apps do) is the most effective way to improve typing. We offer many text topics to type (trivia, literature, etc) where you type text snippets. We…
Hah that's pretty fun. I got tossed about by the animated hands for a few, but grabbed a 194 after that.
Dunno about the trigrams though, mostly it's on the "token group" level for me - either the upcoming lookahead feels familiar or it doesn't, and I don't much get bothered by the specific letters as much as "oh I don't have muscle memory on that word, and it's sadly nestled between two easy words, so it's going to be a patchy bit of alternating speed".

I am working on the world's first end-to-end Database Migration tool, supporting Oracle to PostgreSQL and MSSQL to PostgreSQL database migrations with AI for Schema Migrations. Until now, people used different tools for Schema Migration and Data Migration/Replication. During this process, we ended up building a data migration and replication tool supporting any databases between Oracle, SQL Server (MSSQL) and PostgreSQL databases.

#358Look, I know it's crazy.
My own action MMORPG (think Mordhau meets Cyberpunk meets Arma 3). It's the perfect application of everything I already know as a platform engineer, and I get to learn all the things I don't. I'm making the client foss, the assets foss, and the gameplay compelling as all getout. Non-sharded, persistent world, with different lands for different real world regions. It's a type of metaverse in truth, but some of that part I have to flesh out better on the local client side where you can do whatever, but on the server there is a storyline.
I almost applied to YC because I'm at the stage I'm close to public alpha and need funding, but instead I'm planning on crowdfunding, but the release strategy has to be tops. I'm also doing things like planning on how to scale the business itself, lots of work on the over time growth profit model, etc. So basically, instead of a thousand side projects, I have one giant project where I get to do everything with my own theorycrafting - after years of being stuck doing whatever the boards/c-suite needs, it's a taste freedom and a dream.
Been working on it since 2013...

#359I am working on MediaReduce https://mediareduce.com/, AI-powered media editing studios for videos, images and documents.
It has gone through several iterations over the last year. It was initially focused on file compression & editing but I have added video & image enhancement, background removal, smart video trim, video subtitles generation, dubbing, watermark removal, cropping, resizing, etc.
I'm continuing to fine-tune the performance and while enhancing my UI skills to polish the studios. I built a desktop version but currently released it for Linux (it's in beta), I plan to hopefully make the desktop version free.
I'm currently working with a few clients and using their feedback as guidance. Let me know your feedback if you use it.

Awesome! I hope I can find a way to watch it in Barcelona.
