my friends and I have been maintaining a music blog (https://groupbool.xyz) for the last two years. It started off as a place to formalize our iMessage discussions around some of our favorite tracks and artists. We have slowly been adding more content and the readers are mostly our other friends but it’s a creative outlet and fun to develop so we will keep it going.

#402I’m building https://nurturebox.in/ on the side. I made it to use for my boy but it felt like there’s some value for others.
However, pandemic forced to close all subscriptions and then the online education market boomed/over invested? with 100s of startups providing 1-1 online coaching.
Long term I believe that kids would get tired of online stuff and would want to do things with their hands and maybe it’ll get some steam then. Till then I’m designing the sheets and working on improving course design algorithms.

No where near as technical as most of the stuff that's posted on here, but feel like if this could somehow gain a community following it'd be really helpful for a lot of people.

Sorry for bothering if you already know this, but a lot of resources on your site point to localhost:8000 and fonts are just missing.

"By the year 2025, 63% of the world’s population will be living in cities" I wonder if Covid will revise those trends. Where I live (rural), there's plenty of unused land that needs a lot let contortions to farm (cheaper) but is indeed further away from the mouths to be fed in cities. How is the math behind urban farms vs simply shipping food into the city?
I think the advantage is more in the use of far less water and virtually no pesticides - 2 things which will become more important as the climate changes.

#407I'm working on getting an oyster mushroom farm going in Reykjavík, Iceland. It's a bootstrapped operation so it's going to be a slog of a run. I've solved most of the engineering problems associated with a low-tech mushroom grow, just need a place to put it. My problem is I need a small area (100 sqm) for packaging and an office and a sizeable lot to put 40' containers where the mushrooms are grown. I need good acces…
What kind of shrooms?
Pink, yellow and regular oysters, Boletus, Lion's Mane, shiitake, maitake. Might not get to do all of these but those are my priority types.

#408A little nervous sharing this, since it is a work-in-progress, but here goes nothing :) I'm currently learning about sales and marketing and think I can share my modest knowledge on the topic in a way that is fairly systematic. One of the draws of programming for me—and I believe this is true for a lot of developers—is that software development is fairly a systematic discipline to get into, unlike sales or marketing,…
To play devils advocate why should someone learn marketing and and sales from someone that doesn't have real world experience? The noise to signal ratio is already so high in the field. Good luck regardless.

#409https://www.climbcation.com it's essentially a crowd sourced rock climbing destination filter for world class destinations. Most similar tools will have ALL climbing areas meaning you have to filter through a bunch of noise to find the real diamonds. I originally built it to solve my own problem of "I don't really know where I should go on vacation" so I don't mind if it isn't successful because I actually use it mys…
This is so awesome, bookmarked!

#410I develop https://firedating.me - my hobby project and a place for FIRE (Financial Independence / Retire Early) enthusiasts to find friends and a partner. My goal is to help FIRE people build meaningful connections and decrease the amount of loneliness in the community. I don't make any money, instead I've spent around $130 and 400 hours so far. It is actually a lot of fun to learn web development and encounter vario…
This is the sweetest and most wholesome thing I've seen in a very long time. Kudos to you!
Thank you for your kind words! I definitely remember the first 3 months of development when I had 0 users and how it felt. I appreciate your support!
