https://github.com/jl6/hdrfs "HDRFS is a lossless filesystem application which stores a complete history of every byte ever written to it. It is backed by a strictly append-only log, but works as a fully read/write POSIX-compatible filesystem. Think of it as a cross between a filesystem and tar, with infinite versioning and tuned to maximise ease of backups. It is intended to be used by individuals to archive persona…

I love the idea of this, how you write to volume files of a fixed configurable size, that become immutable once it's moved onto the next one, so you can pick up those prior volumes and move them to offline storage whenever you want. That just seems really nice and easy to understand.

Reinforcement learning goalkeeper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t-W0U-WC6IikniINjeRjE8Zuskx...

The agent hasn't learned anything yet. I just finished setting up the environment, adding the ball and goal.

RPG Playground ( https://rpgplayground.com ), the easiest way to make and share RPG games. No coding required. Been developing this for many years already, but this year I hope to go to some state where I could rival RPG Maker and all the likes.

That looks amazing! What's the tech stack? Code available?

I've been trying to sell the idea of AI-assisted breast augmentation visualization. I call it breastimate. So far no plastic surgeons will meet with me to validate the idea. It's image to image translation using SPADE from before augmentation to after augmentation.

After spending a month of nights and weekends building this I'm not sure whether to scrap it or continue working on it - possibly monetizing advanced features:

https://exportoutlookmacmail.com/ I started this Mac App project in early 2017 that uses AppleScript to export/archive mail messages from Microsoft Outlook for Mac. I was looking for beta users right as my family abruptly moved to a new city. I haven't made time to touch it since. It essentially went from close-to-baked to mothballed. I'll share it here with the caveat that it does not actually work at the moment due…

I just signed up for your beta. I receive about 500 emails a day in Outlook for Mac, and every few months I have to rebuild my entire inbox due to search/filter anomalies. Need a way to purge past months/years while maintaining accessibility.

Unless I'm missing something, the only way to do this is to move messages to a local mailbox, but it's still locked to Outlook.

Up For X: https://upforxapp.com/

I wanted to learn React Native and decided to build something simple and whimsical that I could see myself using.

The app lets you set a status about what activity you want to do and see what your friends have set; ideally simplifying the first step in making plans with friends.

It's still missing push notifications and some other key features, but I've gotten the basic functionality of adding friends and seeing and setting statuses up and running.

I've been picking away at making my own commercial grade cloud platform from scratch for over 6 years now. This is the third version which I hope to make a lot of progress on this winter.

Hey All. This summer I created a "virtual yoga class aggregator". Automated web scraping every night, MySQL db, a dotnet api, and a svelte UI.

https://allthe.yoga/

I think it needs some design work, and probably needs to list prices. Next stage would be to start tackling a way to avoid users having to register at every studio, business partnerships, etc.

Taskeera looks very interesting and is something I need. FYI: you link to a Twitter account at the bottom, but that account has been suspended.
