https://smoothtrack.app - an app that uses your phone's AR for 3D head tracking for PC games. Kind of a "VR" feel for sim games, without VR.

Has layout issues on some smaller screens, I'm still working on a USB connection feature, and lots of other stuff I need to improve on. But releasing early was the right decision, it's already doing pretty well!

I developed this as my own remote coding interview tool to let me do collaborative editing and also run code. I learn the technologies as I am building it, so it also helps me try out new things. First released it to public at this new year, still got a lot of features to implement, it's a fun project to work on weekends.

A platform-agnostic programming language for UI designers. None of the links work; this is quite literally a half baked page lol.

I'm still in the process of designing the language itself, been at it for about a year now and expect to spend about another year nailing down the basic syntax before revealing publicly.

I've always wanted my own gradient boosting machine implementation to compete with Xgboost and LightGBM. There's a huge space of tricks around regularization, randomization, tree structure, etc., that few people are exploring because neural nets are exploding.

So far I've roughly caught up in speed and accuracy with a few original tricks (and 1/20 of the features), but no real breakthroughs.

Thanks for building this sweet tool.

http://www.adama-lang.org/ is a programming language for board games. The language works, and I'm sorting out how I want to do UIs. Documentation and platform are half baked.

Ha, I just posted a DSL for UI design in this thread. I remember seeing this a while back on HN, I love the idea!

Https://swapiverse.com/ It's just our pre-launch page for now. We are planning to match users and allow them to swap books with each other. As of right now, I'm not sure how to avoid scammers... that's my biggest issue.

Sorry, link seems to be broken.

I tried postman on my old machine (Hp 6715b) and it was slow. It took so much RAM and processing power that I couldn't run any other app simultaneously with postman, else it's BSOD :D. So I set out to build a stripped down postman with Quasar; a Vue Js UI framework, and Electron. It might be half baked, but it's usable.

The name is coined from Ingausa; a creole of Hausa and English language. "Yaro" means boy in Hausa language.

I just created http://unaffixed.com for finding and posting Gumroad-like jobs [1].

It's just a markdown file converted to html and served from a Fastmail folder.

My process was:

Read this thread [2] yesterday afternoon. Thought this sounded like a "looser" work environment. Searched "synonym loose". 3rd result was "unaffixed". Bought unaffixed.com and pointed it at Fastmail. MD to html with pandoc. Added water.css stylesheet last night. Thought up some ideas on making it better.
