I've been building https://notionbackups.com for almost 4 years now.

It's mostly feature complete at this point, but there are still some rough edges.

Notion's API is far from complete, and updates are few and far between. This has led me to work around some of its limitations in creative ways. For example, there is still no way to create top-level pages in Notion, which makes restores impossible. Instead, I ask customers to create a top-level page themselves and write backups there.

Personally, the hardest part of working on a project for an extended period is not getting burnt out repeteadly. Sometimes it helps to work on something else, and other times you just need to step away from the game entirely for a while

As a native Spanish speaker, I often used ChatGPT to improve my emails in English. It was very time-consuming having to type the same prompt multiple times in a day to set my writing style and format. That's why I decided to build an app to simplify my process. You can set the style and format just once, and with a single click, you can improve your text. You have the option to include the email thread or any relevan…

Why not create a GPT

My toddler has a LeapFrog talking dictionary that drives my teenage daughter crazy. So I just started a project to replace its logic board with a RPi Pico 2 and interfacing with all ~45 of the toy's buttons and LEDs via a couple of GPIO expansion cards. We'll have about ~300 short audio clips to record, and we'll store/access them via an SPI SD card reader peripheral. Audio output via a MAX98357A combo DAC/class D am…

I’m interested :)

I’ve been dissecting stock market data with code to see how dark pool and automated trading behaviors are evolving and impacting the market. The market is the most adverse possible brain battle where actors constantly try to outsmart and make money off of each-other. Greed and fear playing out and conditions changing constantly. AI is also used but it gets funny when the market adapts and plays against past behavior…

Would love to read the outcomes

I dove into using LLMs together with MCP servers for the first time this weekend. Absolutely incredible. In addition to the code assistant, I configured a Grafana's MCP server with Cline, so that I can chat with an LLM while having real-time metrics and logs. For context, I self host grafana in addition to a bunch of services on a raspberry pi. Simple prompts such as "why has CPU been increasing this week?" resulted…

This sounds really cool. Do you have any guides or notes on how to set this up? I've been looking for something to dive into for LLM and MCP.

I'm working on pure.md[1], which lets your scripts, APIs, apps, agents, etc reliably access web content in markdown format. Simply prefix any URL with `pure.md/` and you get the unblocked markdown content of that webpage. It avoids bot detection and renders JavaScript-heavy websites, and can convert HTML, PDFs, images, and more into pure markdown. pure.md acts as a global caching layer between LLMs and web content. I…

i have no skin in the game and honestly i am wondering how this idea contributes to enshittifying the web more?

this idea just seems like it provides the same content as visiting the site in a different view, like reader mode?

I'm working on a few closed source projects that are all built on https://github.com/1backend/1backend, my dream microservices platform I've had in mind for 12 years before starting to implement it.

On the frontend I'm rather happy with Angular but backend-wise I was never really happy. So it was time to build it. Been developing it for more than a year now.

High quality translation app powered by ChatGPT: High quality translation requires context. Mainstream translation apps (Google Translate) guess based on probabilities based on what the user would commonly mean, but this can results in confusing translations. web: https://app.698expat.com ios: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/698-expat/id6642713544
