https://www.debt-dash.io Plug in some basic information about your debt accounts. Choose your payoff order and how much extra you can pay towards debt each month. I provide a month by month guide on how your payments will snowball until your debt-free. I’m the only user currently and I have a lot of work to do on branding/homepage before I share it with others but it fits the bill of unfinished but slightly useful.

I've thought about writing something like this. Right now I use a spreadsheet. The "killer feature" I've been looking for is the ability to compare things. Like, if I paid an extra $100 a month, how much faster would I pay off the loan and how much money would I save in interest. Also maybe different repayment strategies. Like one where your payments get gradually lower every month and one where they get gradually hi…

a bit OT, but I have a mortgage, and noticed that my mortgage processor did an upgrade last month, and have included a "what if I paid $x/month more?" live calculator, as well as a 'one time payment' calculator. of course, you can find many of these around the internet, but it was useful to see it baked in to my account dashboard with my exact numbers/dates/etc.

It's a stock portfolio manager focused on dividends.

I have been thinking about financial independence and financial literacy for years. How so many of us were never taught about the impact of credit card loans and inflation on our financial situation. So as I've read more about how a brand new car is the worst thing you can do with your money, I dug deeper into how money can make money. As I started investing right after university, I thought the web would be a better way to track dividends automatically, instead of manual google spreadsheets. So this is my project I work on weekends mostly, trying to visualize dividend stocks and what passive income I can expect. It's always half baked project because there are so many exchanges and stocks that all have their own problems and it's hard to automate from free data sources. I really like building the project I use myself! Hopefully, it will last!

https://pingr.io - uptime (soon performance) monitoring service I'm looking for help regarding: - New features which you miss in such services - Pricing model ( https://www.producthunt.com/discussions/how-to-choose-correc... ) It's already working, though might be buggy a little. Thinking of switching to B2B, instead of B2C

Just had a look and your site looks great.

some feedback.

1. I saw in the change log that you support IPv6, make it more prominent in the front page as well. (maybe add IPv6 support to pingr.io as well)

2. Your pricing is what I was looking for, per request and per location. but the fixed charge thing is what holding me back. maybe a prepaid option would be better. eg: a person adds $10 credit to the account and uses it at pay as you go pricing.

I've been trying to sell the idea of AI-assisted breast augmentation visualization. I call it breastimate. So far no plastic surgeons will meet with me to validate the idea. It's image to image translation using SPADE from before augmentation to after augmentation. NSFW (female breasts shown) https://spark.adobe.com/page/zZlziYu47YiwR/

The failed model screenshot have some Total Recall vibes!

I made a serverless website that gathers and displays tweets with variants of the phrase "latest research" (in Polish). My goal was mostly to see how the phrase is used to add credibility to complete bull. I also tried to deploy an English version, but the volume of tweets was so large I gave up for now. I will probably continue working on it at some point, mainly because I want to try out Lambda Layers.

I was tired of the limited/awkward search structure of trying to find parts for surface mount device (SMD) assembly for printed circuit boards (PCBs), a process generally referred to as PCBA.

Thus, I slapped together Google Apps Script utility which runs via a ~cron job~ time based trigger and keeps the _same URL_ updated with the daily updates to the JLCPCB inventory (a subset of LCSC). Check it out here via the "easy to remember" link: https://brianredbeard.com/jlcpcb-parts

*edit: that also reminds me, leave a comment if there are specific filter views which you think would be useful. I've been adding a few here and there so that everyone can benefit.

Building a legitimate email replacement, "mnm":

https://mnmnotmail.org

https://twitter.com/mnmnotmail

Not production-ready, but well past half-baked. I began publicizing it this month.

Legitimate, i.e. n-identity, decentralized, store-and-forward, simple protocol, open source. Contributors welcome!

I just created http://unaffixed.com for finding and posting Gumroad-like jobs [1]. It's just a markdown file converted to html and served from a Fastmail folder. My process was: Read this thread [2] yesterday afternoon. Thought this sounded like a "looser" work environment. Searched "synonym loose". 3rd result was "unaffixed". Bought unaffixed.com and pointed it at Fastmail. MD to html with pandoc. Added water.css st…
