I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much f…

Well done! My niece is going to love this!

Is it possible to get all PDFs at once? Hopefully per section? That will really help to print all at once and get her a single book to go on for couple of weeks.

I thought I could do `curl | grep | xargs curl`, but the site returns 520.

Working on https://someguys.app to make it easier for people to find sports meet-ups and stay active, whether at home or exploring a new city. Personally, I’ve always found it tough to stay motivated and consistent with sports after retiring from 25 years of semi-professional sport, especially solo. Having a group around makes all the difference, but it’s not always easy to find one—especially for sports that aren’t as mainstream or easy to organize.

With Someguys, you can find others to play with, including adaptive sports options for people with disabilities. It works for individuals looking to discover new activities, and also for clubs, providing tools to organize, promote, and make events more accessible.

I am working on a software (for Windows : it is on your computer you own it, no recuring payement) that can export all data from Wordpress and WooCommerce shop to a json and csv file.

It is already working for a few clients that uses the software for orders, products and tax reporting for their e-commerce shop (yes they use a lot of excel in France where I live).

I hope I can sell it on a page in the next few mounth.

I'm working on waltrack.net, a price tracker for Walmart.com (US only).

The goal was to create a camelcamelcamel for Walmart, but affiliate is too uncertain, so I'm building a b2b offering for 3rd party sellers now.

https://pastmaps.com I'm building Pastmaps - striving to eventually be the world's largest online collection of old maps, aerials, and photos all packaged into a public historical research platform that's as easy to use as Google Maps. This has been a labor of love now for about a year, but I still have a huge mountain to climb to realize the full vision. Give it a try and give me your harsh criticisms - that's the g…

Excellent! When reading Galois' coroner's report, I was happy to be able to find an old Paris map online that showed roughly where he had been the day of his duel and the route the farmer who found him would've taken to the hospital.

I’m building a way for developers to easily deploy open source applications (Postgres, redis, sentry, elastic search, etc), plus have a full heroku like workflow for their own applications, all within their kubernetes cluster, with what I hope is a super intuitive and friendly UI. I’ve ran a start up and saw how SaaS-ified and expensive web tooling is (heroku, datadog, redshift, fivetran, etc), but how difficult it w…

I can't find any pricing info on that page except "Get started for 1$$" and then it wants me to sign in. No thanks. I'd like to know what I'm getting into before signing up.

Every application that I've worked on has had blind spots, or forgotten lands of code. Things like “how often do people actually use this feature?” …or… “does this code still run every night?”.

I made something to track those things easily.

And since it's Monday…

I've been working on a little project to be less overwhelmed and get more done each week. It's a super simple productivity idea that starts each week with a new (markdown) file.

Dan, instead of "What are you working on", could a better title for conveying the intent be "What are you hacking on"?
