I'm working on an application where you share your business idea with an AI which evaluates and ranks ideas. It scores the idea, explains why it scored the way it did, and offers suggestions for improvement. That's double meta in this thread, I know. I don't have an MVP yet but I've been testing and tweaking prompts. An early strategy might be to release this as a free open source app and then offer extra business va…

There's already a `dimeadozen [dot] ai` for that purpose. What other features will your app have?

I didn't know about them but after a quick glance I'm thinking...

- You don't submit your ideas through us; they stay between you and your LLM.

- It will focus on tech founders.

- It will be open source and free with additional paid features for the 1% who may need more.

- It will show you results without asking for more information.

- It will have a much more narrow focus; at front at least.

I'm building software to transparently connect your program or machine to remote filesystems. I'm initially supporting C++ and Go, and later plan to support Python and Javascript as well.

There are a lot of exciting filesystems out there - what I'm focusing on is ease of use and getting a "magic" experience for the end user. Think NFS, but easy to setup.

If anybody is interested in learning more or helping write some language specific implementations I'd love to talk.

I built Carve, a site that lets users schedule Google Calendar meetings with 1-click. There are a bunch of features I want to add but I want to make sure that this is a real problem first. Link: https://carvemeetings.com/

I currently use Calendly and will try Google's new built-in offering[1]. What features would you add that set Carve apart? [1] https://workspace.google.com/resources/appointment-schedulin...

I just read through that page, thanks for linking it! My vision for Carve is that I just want users to say "I want to schedule a meeting with A, B, and C people". And then Carve would handle the rest: finding availability, making sure the meeting time is during working hours, etc...

The additional features would let users set filters on:

* What times they wanted to schedule meetings

* Schedule meetings at least 24 hours in advance

* Set some people as optional

* etc..

Working on https://kindbuds.ai - a platform where you can craft and deploy custom AI chatbots. You can use them on your site or plug them into our network (kind of like upwork for ai) of bots for users to discover/interact with.

Like bots trained on a market: https://www.kindbuds.ai/ght/telluride

Or bots for utility: https://www.kindbuds.ai/ght/spence

Or bots for business: https://www.kindbuds.ai/ght/knowmad

Much is mid development - ultimately I'm deep working on finishing out the sites UX, bot output and functionality.

https://transcript.fish I have been working on this podcast transcription project for a couple months and it's been super rewarding. I listen to a podcast called No Such Thing As A Fish[0], where some researchers talk about their favorite facts they learned that week. Then they riff on it and are generally smart and funny. I listened to the series so many times that I decided I wanted to listen to the show on shuffle…

This is fantastic. I'm a huge fan of No Such Thing as a Fish podcast. Are you part of club fish? I bet the folks in the discord channel would love this.

Oh yeah, I'm in there. Come say hi! I just shared it with them a couple days ago and they already pinned it! Felt pretty great.

I just started working on this last week at Recurse Center — a live coding playground for audio effects: https://fxplayground.pages.dev

The three main todos on my roadmap are:

- support languages other than JS (C/C++ would be the obvious ones)

- improve the visualization

- improve debugging (e.g. if you have a syntax error)

Bitgrid[1][2] is a continuation of an idea I've been carrying around since the 1980s, and tweaking from time to time. If I can maintain focus long enough, I intend to learn RTL, VHDL or Verilog well enough to get it entered in one of the Google open source chip shuttles. I think this approach to computing if applied to neural networks may offer a cheap way to get far more compute, perhaps exaflop performance out of a…

Are you sure this can run backprop?

There’s something along that line here but I don’t know if it’s the best execution of the idea

I've been working on a managed service provider for smaller clouds -- right now it's focused on Hetzner.

A few services (redis, webpage analytics) have already been released on Nimbus and next is Object Storage next and it's quite a big lift!

The dogfood tastes great so far! I've been able to consolidate a bunch of instances I was running and mange them centrally which is fine (I had a lot of side projects).

I've been having trouble finding the right people to try it out and give me feedback/see if they'd use it regularly, and if you're running on Hetzner (or have avoided it because they didn't have managed services) I'd love to hear from you.

[EDIT] - I should note, there IS a free tier, but a credit card is required. You can launch an ephemeral redis instances for absolutely free, but I do have a CC gate up to help mitigate fraud (and to see if I've built something people actually want!).

It's a small tool to sort and filter protein bars.

I often found myself trying to figure out how many protein per dollar or calories I'd get and a friend of mine said he does the same. So we decided to build this in our spare time.
