#472https://ossdatbase.com A catalogue of open source software. Recently it is picking up a little steam. ( https://www.similarweb.com/website/ossdatabase.com ) Costs me $10 a month in hosting, Rails app. I have a job now, but plan to keep updating it. The site is open source https://github.com/prithvi16/ossdatabase
site seems down.
looks like they typo'd, it's https://ossdatabase.com

#473A website/marketin company
https://www.constructioncompanywebsites.com/
I wrote a program that makes websites from an INI file, it handles everything except for the domain name purchase.
Currently working on the marketing/business plan part of everything, which is very different from software engineering.

#474Ah I love this ask HN! I'm building an iMessage app (www.pigeon.ooo - nothing here yet, I just get a hoot out of the name) that brings note taking into iMessage. I built it because I wanted to be able to save/pin messages so that I wouldn't have scroll up to find important pieces of info. You can also share the lists directly through iMessage so that the others in the conversation can update the notes, which has been…
Is www.pigeon.ooo a typo? Doesn't seem to go anywhere

#475Bonsai-garden.com
I put this together over Christmas while I had the flu. I just wanted a way to keep a nice timeline for development of bonsai trees.
I have a long list of features I would like to add, comments, likes etc. Some better pictures would be great too!
It is built in Flask. I don't get to code too much at work any more, so this was a fun thing to do

You should add a clickable link. Also, it seems to just lead to a placeholder page as though it was just registered.

#477I work on a Python game engine called Arcade[1] and other projects within it's Github organization such as pytiled-parser. We also help to drive continued development and improvement within Pyglet[2]. Recently, my efforts have been focused on creating a version which can be run in web browsers by using Pyodide and WebGL[3], though that is still fairly early stages.
Arcade's primary focus is on being an educational tool for beginner programmers, so my hope is that with browser compatibility we can lower the barrier to entry further and make it more accessible and easy to get started with. In a similar vein to the goals of browser compatibility, we've recently enabled full compatibility with Raspberry Pi through the use of OpenGL ES(and this was largely only possible thanks to the huge amount of work that everyone involved in the Mesa project puts in)
I'm not the original author of Arcade, but I am a current maintainer and put a substantial amount of time into it and it's community.

#478SteamDB: https://steamdb.info/ I've been running it for over 10 years now, it's a database of Steam games, their updates, price history, charts, and a lot more. In the early days we took monetary donations but stopped a few years in. It costs less than 100$ a month to run. Cloudflare reports 552.2M requests in the past 30 days, and 6.09M unique visitors.
SteamDB is awesome!

#479Automated Python utility to collect Zaptec EV charger usage and invoice details. Calculates a price per kWh and sends an invoice to the registered charger user using a third-party invoice solution.
Zaptec has a decent API. Invoice retrieval (electricity) and invoice distribution is done by faking browser sessions with Python.
I live within a housing association (townhouses) where the garages are separate from the houses. All chargers are on the same fuse box.
Commercial solutions providing the same service are typically $5/month for each user plus a 0.01USD fee for each kWh. I figured I could save myself and my neighbors some money.
Currently hosted on GitHub, but private repo as I am not too proud of my 3 evening rushed code.
