#532This one's going to be out of left field, but last Thursday I launched Countdown Treasure ( https://countdowntreasure.com ) It's a real life treasure hunt in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a current total prize of $31,200+ in gold coins and a growing side pot. I modeled it off of last year's Project Skydrop ( https://projectskydrop.com ) which was in the Boston area. * Shrinking search area (today, Day 5, it will be 1…
I don't know enough astronomy, but can the angle of any shadows visible via the webcam help narrow down the location?
Maybe some? But the circle today will be 160 miles wide or about the same width as Switzerland and Denmark. So I'm not sure how much shadows would help you pinpoint a specific location in an entire country worth of mountains.

#533I'm working on https://www.fontofweb.com because design inspiration platforms don’t give enough real material to work with.
Most sites fall into extremes: Dribbble leans toward polished mockups that never shipped, while Awwwards and Mobbin go heavy on curation. The problem isn’t just what they pick — it’s that you only ever see a narrow slice. High curation means low volume, slow updates, and a bias toward showcase projects instead of the everyday, functional interfaces most of us actually design.
Font of Web takes a different approach. It’s closer to Pinterest, but purely for web design. Every “pin” comes with metadata: fonts, colors, and the exact domain it came from, so you can search, filter, and sort in ways you can’t elsewhere. The text search is powered by multimodal embeddings, so you can use search queries like “minimalist pricing page with illustrations at the side” and get live matches from real websites.
What you can do:
natural language search (e.g. “elegant serif blog with sage green”)
font search (single fonts, pairings, or 2+ combos, e.g https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?family_id=109 , https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?family_id=135 )
color search/sorting (done in perceptual CIELAB space not RGB)
domain search (filter by site, e.g. https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?domain=apple.com, https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?domain=blender.org )
live website analysis (via extension — snip any part of a page and see fonts/colors instantly, works offline)
one-click font downloads
palette extraction (copy hex codes straight to clipboard)
private design collections
Appreciate feedback into the ux/ui, feature set and general usefulness in your own workflow

Kind of have been wasting time with Cloudflare workers engine. Trying to build a system that schedules these workers for a lightweight alternative to GitHub actions. If you are interested in WASM feel free to reach out. Looking to connect with other developers working on the WASM space.

#537I am working on https://www.ironcalc.com , a spreadsheet engine. I have been working on it for the last two years as a side project, but starting March will be my full time job! Kind of excited and scared at the same time
This looks great! r/selfhosted will love this. Could you please provide a Docker image?
Oh right, yes, that's long due. I will have one for ~Sunday and post it there.
Many thanks!

#538I'm working on a little website that helps me and my friends to decide easier what to play on a gamenight, because it always goes like this: - I want to play x and y - I want to play y and z - I don't have z - I don't really feel x - Lets play b - I'd rater play c - Let's settle on d - Today H is joining, he does not have d It'll work in sessions where first everyone can suggest games, then in the second phase veto o…
Sounds great. Would everyone "accept" the result, or would it be worth adding a little LLM explanation of why the result should content everyone by explaining how the game retains elements or this other voted game and that other voted game, to try and make people go "ok, sure"?
I'm not a huge gamer so maybe this is an obvious reaction they would get from their own experience when seeing the result without needing a LLM explanation.

#539I'm making an OpenAI API proxy to stay within a spending limit (like 1$ per hour then a 429), AFAIK they only support "budget alerts" and I'm not comfortable releasing anything without a hard limit on the spend. https://github.com/goverture/goxy - Still a work in progress, I plan to support streaming as well and might support other providers if there's a demand for it.
This would be a game changer. There are so many times I run out of credits without knowing when it’s going! I know there is the dashboard, but I think it’s quite limited in my use cases.

#540bash scripts that make terraform configurations for scaling bioinfo work to n h100s/a100s spot vms with resistance to the vms getting terminated. i now have it for alphafold3 jobs but i need to make the same for boltz, gnina, gromacs (although spot vms do not make sense here), etc
next step is to make a simple login portal for non trusted persons to be able to submit work as this a uni project, mail the result / process.
