#512We started building https://kbee.app at the beginning of December after our frustration with other help center/wiki tools.
Every wiki/help center tool seems bent on forcing users to learn a new authoring/text editor experience in order to publish new articles. Many times, folks are creating drafts in Google Docs first and then copying it over. We figured, why not cut out the subpar text editors and just publish to a wiki straight from Docs?
It's definitely not ready for prime-time but we're at a point where we're actively looking for feedback!

#513http://myoilguage.com Hardware is version .1 and as well as web app. I am learning new web stack tech to Enable commercializing this and improve the hardware.
And your pipe cap housing reminded me that I had a similar project in mind but float switches would not be rugged enough. I'm going to revisit it using ultrasonics!!!

#516Up For X: https://upforxapp.com/ I wanted to learn React Native and decided to build something simple and whimsical that I could see myself using. The app lets you set a status about what activity you want to do and see what your friends have set; ideally simplifying the first step in making plans with friends. It's still missing push notifications and some other key features, but I've gotten the basic functionality…

#517It invokes youtube-dl under the hood, but the user can add videos (to be downloaded) via the browser. It is quite usable as is, but pretty slim on features. Maybe someone here wants to take it further.

#518To cut the long story short, all my early search for a solution was leading me to overpriced "kits" on ebay and the likes. All you have to do is type "frequency 60hz clippers" to understand what I'm talking about. The solution, which is cheap and simple is to buy a $18 power adapter with a $20 inverter from Amazon.
I figured I'd make that information available online for anyone facing that same problem. So I just put together a site [0] with some amazon affiliate links. I haven't done any SEO or marketing yet. Me being a backend dev, this is a nice little learning project.

#519Earlier quoted context omitted.
Very interesting. Any code?
Thanks, nothing public yet but I am getting inspired to share what I have. It is really nothing more than some systemd units, /etc configurations, and a dockerfile. I will try to put something together though.
