#412Clippings is your modern-day archival tool for online classified ads... like Craigslist!

#413Offline WYSIWYG markdown editor + publishing tool with a Notion-like UI.
You can load a local folder from your computer by clicking the "open folder" button on the splash screen. There you can create and edit new files on your machine (all from your web browser, or install as a PWA)
The publishing feature enables you to publish a folder as an API (eg. all the data from https://codefire.dev/ is served by an API I created with mindgarden. I also use MindGarden for my blog on my personal site). Admittedly the UX to do this is not straightforward yet, I'll have to improve that and/or make a video demonstrating how to do it.
Ctrl+Shift+P opens up a go-to menu to easy navigate to any file, and Ctrl+Shift+L toggles dark mode.
Definitely half-baked and needs a lot of polish (eg. not designed for mobile yet). Let me know what you think though. May or may not motivate me to actually finish this damn project.

#414I use it to create symbolic links like GNU Stow but using PowerShell. This way I can keep the same folder structure inside my dotfiles repository and use Stow on WSL, and PStow on Windows.
It creates symlinks, but it can't delete them, because it doesn't keep track of what it creates. But since I don't actually have to configure too many things, that's not really a big problem for me, because can I simply delete them manually if I need. Maybe some day I will add that functionality, maybe not.

#417My cat has been sick for a while. We have to track everything she does. My wife and I got tired of writing it on paper or a shared doc. It's also annoying to try to show the vet. So I quickly put together an mvp to track stuff and show it. It's rough and it's got only the basics. You can add a pet, events and images. (you can censor event photos, no one wants to see bloody poop pictures all the time). It's full of half done features, spelling mistakes, hacky css/html and a joke homepage lol, but it's been invaluable so far.

#418“ This app will create a Virtual MIDI device with 8 sliders and 7 buttons. Each virtual slider is controlled using a piano-key + pitch-bend gesture from your MIDI keyboard.”

#419Started it some months ago because i needed it and it didn’t exist back then. Now there are some similar competitors but it still has some unique properties.
Traction: regular signups, paying customer, some recurring users.
Needs some UX love and features/polishing to be self-servicable.

#420Explorer and visualizer for the Mandelbrot fractal.
You can customize the colors / style (lots more I want to do with this). I also have some social features in the works :) And I'd like to offer the option to order prints at some point.
Here are a few examples of cool locations you can find:
