#472I have created a website allowing retail investors to track insider stock transactions, for both US and european markets.
Up until now, nearly all websites focused on SEC forms, while making sense of filings in Europe is sometimes even harder.
I cover the US and six major european markets (France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium & the Netherlands), with more on the way.
I have created it with Django, nginx and Postgresql. It is hosted on Hetzner, which I couldn't recommend enough.

#473Bread is lovely as are the green leaves shining during a beautiful day with clear, cool air in NY.
I’ve been writing and linking about flights from and to reality through art (usually videogames) at https://hypertexthero.com which is now published with a [static site generator][1] and no JavaScript other than [HTML Form File to Txt][2] to quickly create a text file for posting. The site design and format was inspired by Daring Fireball, and I aim to release it as a theme soon.
During this time I discovered [Focus Writer][3] which is open source, cross-platform, quite nice.
Hoping people will come up with fusion power and other climate crisis [solutions][4] during this time.
Peace out.

#474Over the past few years I've been on the hunt for a good tool to help me manage my projects. Trello, Jira, I've tried a bunch and yet still couldn't pin point why none of the tools worked well.
The quarantine forces me to think about it even more, and I think I've found the why, and how.
So I'm now building it: https://focussist.com/

#475I launched a side-project to manage all the domain names I've registered over the years. This service provides a simple DNS records manager, an email account that covers all the domains, auto-generates LE certs and either serves a single page HTML website or redirects to a Github repo page. No limit how many domains added to account. https://projectpending.com/

#476I built a simple compound interest calculator because I was fed up with the ones filled with ads.

#478I've been busy building Pantry - a free JSON storage service for small personal projects.
I posted it a few days ago on HN and a lot of you had some great ideas and feedback. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23030298
For now I'm keeping busy maintaining Pantry. You guys can check it out here! https://getpantry.cloud/

#479When I need to make money: I code and build hardware. But when work is slow and my brain can wonder, I find myself wanting to tell stories with video. The sad part is I am not Casey Neistat.
Here is a video that the whole family worked on for a school project a few weeks ago: https://youtu.be/QHmkRBIzUMs

#480I've been making a personal information/task management system that I can only describe as a weird cross between Things for Mac and Dropbox Paper. It's really an opinionated tool designed specifically for myself to be run on a desktop.
It's a buggy work-in-process app built in Svelte and PouchDB and definitely not in a "Show HN" state yet. I put my progress up on Github pages for close friends to try [1], but what the heck, I'll put it here too (no instructions or videos yet).
I honestly haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it long term, whether to make it free or to try to monetize it somehow. Right now, my main goal is to fold it into an Electron app and have it sync with a Couch/Pouch db server once the main UI code is done.

Note it's not a Saas, so no sign up required to try it. PouchDB is storing the data in your browser in IndexedDB so you can delete your data by clearing your browser data for that URL.
