I'm building a windows-like Linux graphical admin tool to manage background services/daemons. I saw some people complaining that it didn't exist, and the subject interests me, so I decided to do it.

#492https://merely.xyz/lenses - a user friendly spreadsheet with camera lenses that lets you view and compare multiple parameters at once.
Right now only E mount full frame lenses, more systems (and parameters) to be added in future.
It's already useful for me at the moment, hopefully you'll find it useful as well. And in any case, feedback is very welcome.

#494https://streamigo.io/ It's an app to help 2+ people choose what to watch together on the most popular streaming platforms by presenting semi-random titles, asking each person to vote (swipe left/right), and settling on the "best" based on most votes/popularity. It was born out of endless scrolling through Netflix (and the like) with significant others and friends, and not settling on something to watch. Instead, this…
Now if someone could make this but with food, they'd get all my money.

An app where you can draw with emojis and then copy your art as text and send it via, e.g., messenger. I want to make it a full-featured drawing app with undo/redo, line drawing tool, circle/square, etc.

#496Trying to build the world's largest encyclopedia of magazines, fanzines, journals and newsletters. Most of the world's magazines are dead and buried, languishing as copyright orphans with no known owner. Yet, they contain far more knowledge than probably all the books combined? We should probably think about training the next LLM on all the world's magazines as well as all the books. It is less than half-baked. I ask…
Is this something where you could or should cooperate with the Internet Archive?

#497I am participating in a competition of a wannabe IT guys when some mentor is searching for one such a student. I have summed exactly his proposal which he has published in Russian and all my work and I have ended up with a 19-page whitepaper 6 pages of which describes my original tradebot idea, in English of course. If you know how real tradebots work feel free to help me to enrich my understanding. Current status of…
That's kind of interesting. Did you get any sponsors?
There are 2 days remaining for the announcement of the winner.

#498I left my last job and a toxic boss a few months back and decided the only viable future is to start my own thing again. But this time I was going to do it properly - lean customer development, speak to users before writing a line of code, etc.
Instead, I became fascinated by the massive improvements in OCR and how they can be applied to digitising boring paper records. Decided to start out with the most boring problem of them all - credit card and bank statements.
I decided this would also be a great project to make the leap to Python and Django. So, without speaking to a single potential customer, I threw myself into coding. After a while, I realised Laravel is so much better and jumped back to that. Have learned loads as a result.
I've built a local prototype that works really well with impressive accuracy. However, I noticed the signs of fatigue and self-doubt that often mean a project is abandoned at 80% without seeing the light of day.
So I decided to find a domain name and put the totally half-baked and not-yet-functioning version online. A crappy, embarrassing, non-functional version. But at least I might get some feedback, which is more likely to inspire me to keep going and work out how I could market this.

I'm giving myself a week or two to refresh, then will press ahead some more and put the minimal functionality online while thinking about how to find users.
Yeah, about that lean thing...
