In 2023 a friend and I started a monthly dinner club with the goal of eating around the world without getting on a plane. We gather once a month at a restaurant on Long Island for a meal focused on a theme or region of the world. The meals are around 10+ courses and include a drink. We work with the restaurant to craft a menu that is as close to authentic to the region as possible. Our first dinner was with 13 friend…

This is an amazing idea tapping unto the one thing we most humans love which is food. Kudos!

"Google maps but for old maps": https://pastmaps.com This is a solo startup that I've been working on for 2 years now. It's a labor of love and I'm very lucky and thankful that it's big enough to surprisingly pay all of our bills. Still constantly feeling FOMO over all of my startup buddies working with AI and LLMs while I plug away at old maps and GIS . It gets ~80K MAUs and just slowly and consistently is growing o…

That's nice! I have some GIS data of my country it was pretty detailed, it may be outdated now, but covered a good amount of administrative details. If you are extending and need some data on Bangladesh, I can send you

I built an alternative to the Typescript package "neverthrow" called "no-exceptions" I found neverthrow's api to be not very ergonomic so I built my own little version. https://www.npmjs.com/package/no-exceptions

Serious question, not dismissing any of your work but why implement it yourself when there's plenty of such implementations in TS land already. fp-ts has an Either type e.g. but there's plenty of such libraries. https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/modules/Either.ts.html

The post says why.

I’m working on an ISBN database that fetches information from several other services, such as Hardcover.app, Google Books, and ISBNDB, merges that information, and return something more complete than using them alone. It also saves that information in the database for future lookups. Mostly because I’m working on a personal library management service called Shelvica to solve my own problems[1], and none of those serv…

I'd love to get updates on this and talk with you. My email is ben@bookdna.com

We are in the process of building Notion but for books (specifically aimed at your to-be-read list and book log): https://building.shepherd.com/roadmap/launch-our-tbr-app-to-...

Very interested to hear how it goes.

We are working to build Notion, but for books. It is a personal book diary to collect your to-be-read and smart sort them, as well as log your reads and use that data to build a profile of your book dna in order to connect you with new books/authors that your book twins love.

My one man side project is Prisme Analytics: an high-perfomance, self-hosted and privacy-focused web analytics service.

I'm working on improving UX and simplifying deployment a lot. In the next release, a single docker run will be enough to get a working web analytics service with minimal resource usage.
