I'm building https://signwith.co/ - a pay per doc alternative to DocuSign We used to run a content and product studio, and every time we had to get NDAs or service agreements signed, it felt ridiculous to pay $30/month for 2-3 documents. So we built SignWith — no subscriptions, just simple pay-per-document pricing. ESIGN act and UETA Complaint. Every month you get 3 free signatures - and then you can pay per document…

Looks useful. Add a developer tier and an npm module for user to embed in their apps.

I’m working on https://voicecast.app/ but struggling to get users. It’s a way for podcasts to get voice messages for their shows. Any advice appreciated!

Aren't podcasters already relying on tools like Whatsapp/Telegram for this?

AI SEO/GEO (or whatever it will be called eventually) monitoring for companies.

We monitor how companies/brands rank in LLMs/AI Search, we don't use the API but the user interfaces (since these are totally different). We run thousands of prompts to analyse responses and combine that with website traffic to get an understanding of what is being said and how well you rank.

I didn't anticipate Google moving to AI mode so fast, to be totally honest, which makes it really interesting because we likely see rank tracking and keyword tracking disappear in the near future.

As a fun side project, I run https://homestra.com a kind of Zillow for Europe but for second/vacation homes

A new YouTube app/player, for my kids. It allows us to control the algorithm. It’s all LLM translating to YouTube search queries under the hood. Visually it looks the same. The suggested videos come from predefined buckets on topics they love. E.g. 33% fun math, 33% DIY engineering, 33% creative activities. Video recommendations that have a banned word in the title/desc don't get displayed e.g. MrBeast, anything with…

This is awesome. having control over your feed makes all the difference. Never considered LLM for this. Makes sense. Would like to demusk my feed a little.

App for learning chinese, aimed at intermediate learners. SRS, reader, import content. Lots of fun problems like word segmentation, relevant distractors, integrating with LLMs, local-first sync.

I work a project that let doctors and laboratory send notifications reports in FHIR format to the Health Offices located across Germany, based on their address.

Recently we have released everything as open source, even the code for setting a local development Kubernetes cluster using OpenTofu

After installing access points we were looking for a quick and simple way in a standard (mobile) browser to continuously check connectivity.

https://latencychecker.com does just that, because opening a ping prompt on a mobile device isn’t a thing without installing apps.

And it gave us a good excuse to stretch the legs and dabble in a little frontend development.

I'm just finishing up a book called Rebooting a Nation on how the country of Estonia modernized so quickly after independence from the Soviet Union and became a leader in tech and e-government. It should start shipping on Amazon in the U.S. later this week! Happy to chat with folks who have questions about the publishing industry from an authors perspective (I ended up signing with Hurst in the UK which distributes through Oxford University Press).
