Over the last few months I built and am still adding onto https://www.promptcompress.com which is the best prompt compression tool in the market offering multiple compression techniques which can be used together or separately. It provides analysis of the compressed prompts' accuracy impact which is utterly and frustratingly lacking from every other prompt compression tool. It's free to use for now. Considering adding support for using different LLM backends with it. Not sure if I want to bother with trying to monetize it so may just open source it and let users provide their own API keys in the future.

I've been working on https://saasufy.com/ - No-code/low-code serverless platform for building web applications.

The idea is that if you're a highly experienced senior developer, it should feel oddly familiar. It aims to address every possible concern that a senior developer might have when building a web application.

Avoiding footguns is one of the core principles behind it.

It aims to strike the ideal balance between flexibility and simplicity. It's not for building rough prototypes; it lets you build apps that are more secure, more performant, more scalable and more maintainable than the ones you would write from scratch.

I'm working on pivots.fyi ( https://pivots.fyi/ ). It tracks 1000+ startups that have been founded in the last 3 years and showcases how their product, mission, team size, founders, etc. evolve week over week. It is interesting to see how quickly early stage startups pivot. Looking for feedback/suggestions about how I can make this more useful.

Love the UI very simple and minimal How do you find the data if you don’t mind sharing

Thanks! The data is collected by continuously scraping the startup's website and their YC page.

Working on Hedgy, a tool for confidentially exploring new job opportunities without messing with your current employment. It's a combo referral/reputation network (members endorse each other) and anonymized hiring platform. Members share what would make them move (role/$) and employers review anonymized profiles.

Building some prototypes of games with Godot. Mostly enjoying it. A few gripes with the GDScript language though. Might switch back to C#. https://godotengine.org/

I love GDScript and have been working a components-based mid-layer for Godot: https://github.com/InvadingOctopus/comedot

The "me database" tracking my gps for physical location, urls visited, etc.. This way I can search through all my physical and computer activity to answer questions like: how many times did I go to the gym last year? or how many leetcode questions did I do this month? Wrote a summary here ( https://theptrk.com/2024/09/27/me-database-master-plan/ )

Nice I plan on doing this for a whole year, hopefully 2025, but with lots of sleep data possibly with openBCI components and other devices and see if I can gain insight into some weird health phenomenons I've been experiencing.

Oh nice. I feel like so many things affect my sleep including diet, mood, how long it’s been since I doom scrolled. I wonder if any of that can help you investigate.

I'm working on https://nuenki.app/ , a language learning tool. It teaches you a language while you procrastinate by inserting translations of appropriate-difficulty sentences into webpages as you browse HN etc. Currently trying to reduce costs by switching from using DeepL (high quality, low latency, high cost) everywhere to a hybrid that also uses Claude (high quality, high latency, low cost) for text that is far fr…

Would be really useful to have some way to hear the translated sentences so that you can also learn how it's supposed to be said - would be very useful for learning Japanese.
