This is starting to overlap with building a tool server for personal AI agents.
It helps you track, understand, and plan your personal finances — with a proper accounting foundation.
It's interesting in many way. Using double-entry (it's a perspective shift), the technical challenges of building local-first app, UI/UX & visualizations, privacy and more.
With some friends, I've been building "Mo Money": a Duolingo-style app to teach investing through a gamified mix of microlearning and a real-time trading simulator (but it's a game). It's meant to be built as much for total beginners as it is for amateurs.
Sim side: A fully playable trading game backed by historical market data (no real $$), it's now integrated with a FastAPI backend, WebSockets, Firebase (soon), and XP system to track skill growth and gamify progress.
Learning side: A clean microlearning stack that teaches financial literacy in snack-sized bits, a lot like Duolingo, it's interactive, level-based & accurate and relevant information in the most digestible format.
Just added: a lightweight AI tutor for contextual Q&A during lessons. Thinking of adding a little more AI than a chatbot potentially to help learners in the app.
Upcoming: XP-linked achievements, a leaderboard, and a light paywall via Buy Me a Coffee.
We're undergrads building this from scratch, aiming for early users soon. If you’ve ever thought “I wish someone made markets feel learnable,” we’re trying to do just that. super excited
Not as exciting or big as some of the projects on here, but just a small personal one I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I recently impulse bought an Epson receipt printer, and I’ve started putting together a server in Go to print a morning update every day. Getting it to print the weather, my calendar and todos, news headlines, HN front page. Basically everything I pick up my phone for in the morning, to be on pap…
I'm building https://zenquery.app — a tool for querying large CSV, JSON, Parquet and Excel files using plain English. No SQL or coding required. As a data engineer, I regularly have to dig through massive files to debug issues or validate assumptions — things like missing column values, abnormally large timestamps, inconsistent types, or duplicate records. It’s tedious and time-consuming, and that’s what led me to bu…
Building https://www.typequicker.com Long-term, passion project of mine - I'm hoping to make this the best typing platform. Just launched the MVP last month. The core idea of the app is focusing on using natural text. I don't think typing random words (like what some other apps do) is the most effective way to improve typing. We offer many text topics to type (trivia, literature, etc) where you type text snippets. We…
Created a game to learn navigational marks in the Solent https://guess-the-mark.verdient.co.uk/
Putting together the landing page for my software business https://verdient.co.uk/
I’m also putting together an analysis of warhammer 40k games and applying operational research techniques to it.
