Hey all! Built out a passion project app to help podcasters find new listeners.

Each podcaster is given a channel with a public facing website for their podcast. To give prospective listeners a taste of an episode, post an audio clip with a key moment (has to be less than 5 minutes long). We take these clips and serve them in a feed of posts for listeners.

Example Website: https://jointidbit.com/c/startupadvice

App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tidbit-snackable-audio/id14656...

Thanks everyone!

An observable tree data structure which could form the basis of a state management library in typescript https://github.com/mfbx9da4/observable-state-tree

I love this, but I need something like this for Swift. I’ll probably review how you pulled this off

Thanks :-)

A stock and options trading tracker for Robinhood with a social component. ios: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tradebase-for-robinhood/id1021... android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epilix.tra... I started this project many years ago, but I still consider it "half baked" because it not nearly what I think it should be. Turns out, building reliable and accurate finance tools is not easy. The idea…

Neat idea I will check it out. It seems like a lot of potential in the trading + social space.

Postgres change-capture device that supports high-throughput and low-latency capture to a variety of sinks (at first release, just Google BigQuery):

https://github.com/lawrencejones/pgsink

I know there's debezium and Netflix's dblog, but this project aims to be much simpler.

Forget about kafka and any other dependency: just point it at Postgres, and your data will be pushed into BigQuery. And for people with highly-performance-sensitive databases, the read workload has been designed with Postgres efficiency in mind.

I'm hoping pgsink could be a gateway drug to get small companies up and running with a data warehouse. If your datastore of choice is Postgres, it's a huge help to replicate everything into an analytics datastore. A similar tool has helped my company extract expensive work out of our primary database, which is super useful for scaling (nevermind the business-intelligence and data-engineering uses!).

The project is 90% there, about 10hrs and some testing away from being useable. Once there, I'll be hitting up some start-up friends and seeing if they want to give it a whirl.

It's an app for churches (or any live performance) to display and manage lyrics. http://alpha.lyricscreen.com:6754/ I'm missing accounts and some of the more frilly features, like different fonts and backgrounds. All the info is shared and HN could probably crash it. It's all synced live, so it's very loosely collaborative. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Very nice, this makes a lot of sense.

I'd call it 2/3rds baked; but doing nba + tech questions w/ friends via 30 second takes. Would love a couple of thoughts / feedback on playing around with it. A lot of features, but still refining core experience dramatically: https://trypersona.com/feed (check out on mobile)

after realising how frustrating is to work with third party recruiters and companies that do no share clear salary ranges,

i built https://golang.cafe for myself. golang cafe is a golang job board with no recruiters and clear salary ranges.

i also don't like sites that use excessive javascripts, ads, and other crap and bloatware. golang cafe will try to remain analytics free and bloat free.

i have managed to get a salary explorer https://golang.cafe/Golang-Developer-Salary-Remote

a list of companies actively hiring and using go in production https://golang.cafe/Companies-Using-Golang

also experimental a bunch of go devs open to work https://golang.cafe/Golang-Developers

[edit] ps. it is also open source https://github.com/golang-cafe/golang.cafe
