A little niche, but https://run-in.app is an online encounter manager for DnD 5e that I've been (slowly) building this year. I initially built it because I was dming a one-shot for some friends and got overwhelmed tracking the health and position of 6 enemies + the party on pen and paper. I wasn't happy with the solutions I found to this online, and thought it'd be fun to try and build one myself. The main features f…

Something like this is exactly what I've been looking for! Barebones, easy to use, and snappy. I find most other encounter builders are way to bloated for my purposes. But this seems to strike a really nice middle ground of convenience with all the right features.

I'm so happy to hear that! Please also let me know if you have any feature requests you think would really improve your experience

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oh nice, this could be my new favorite thing. It's less lonely than the usual. It's great for warming up, basically just trying to code from memory instead of relying on docs. I love that it yells at me for naming my variables "xxx" too. I also love that it goes all "Candidate did not follow instructions" when it tells me not to use a specific function, but also tells me that the solution would get the right answer.…

Thanks for that feedback! I will add a monthly option today.

Hey, IDK if you'll see this, but is there an email where we can send more extensive feedback or generally contact?

I am building a marketplace focused 100% on Magic: The Gathering, which I have played for 30 years. Biggest issues are inventory and buyer-side bugs now. I wished I would have shipped a few months ago, got caught up on a feature I didn't need to engage users. https://manapool.com

Wait, this doesn't exist already?

I'm a big fan of json schemas, but it's hard to know what one is missing so for years I've looked for a json schema based fuzzer for http backends, now I've started building one. Even if the input data passes schema validation, does the backend crash because a case can't be caught in schema?

The basic idea is you upload the jsonschema to a website and get a binary in return. This binary generates data based on that schema and sends it to endpoints as / how / when you want. Set up a VM with your backend and let it run for a week, look at the report to find any crashes, repeat. Maybe with some nice webhooks etc.

The reasons to do this by sending a binary the user run themselves instead of over the network are that fuzzing will generate a _lot_ of requests, with a binary you can have it running on localhost and cut down on time.

Value prop: Find crashes in backend code and help you improve your input validation schemas.

Later I've realized that it can just as easily be used to generate test data, lots of test data too, but that probably requires different marketing etc.

Hoping to have a PoC up before end of year or so if anyone is interested.

https://mapofthebest.com I love food and I love travel. Naturally I decided to compile a list of all the best restaurants in the world. Still very much a work-in-progress but would love to get feedback.

Very cool - I assume most of the data is gathered through scraping? Quite a few of the sources you're pulling from don't look like they have APIs available.

Focused on trying to build out a more authentic locally focused travel site, https://www.tipsiti.com/. Ideally positioning it as an alternative to TripAdvisor and the other more mainstream tour bus tourist travel sites. I love Google Maps but how the information is displayed leaves a bit to be desired. More niche sites like On the Grid are phenomenal but somehow don't have the same reach.

https://www.inouts.com I build Inouts - a search engine for online tools without BS, with a focus on specific examples of their use. Instead of browsing seo optimized pages, fake "top X tools for ..." rankings or websites full of dark patterns where, for example, only at the end of the process you find out that you have to pay, you can use Inouts. Currently in the database there are more than 5000+ tools and even mor…

Love directories like this!

https://www.casinojoblist.com , which I hope is self-explanatory. Updated daily. Problem is getting any kind of SEO success. The site is functional and designed to be as easy to use as possible, what it doesn't have are any articles, blogs, ads, pricing, or distractions (other than multiple casino-related themes, for a little bit of flair). What's good for users (I hope) seems to suppress any presence in search engin…

Maybe instead of linking out directly to the source site from the first click, grab the job posting's content and re-create it on page on your domain, and then link out to the source site from there?
