I am aggregating real estate listings across all African countries and standardizing them into one MLS and API. No front-end yet, but that will be the next step. Still finding sources for some countries

#552I'm building Nottawa (https://nottawa.app/), a free and open source C++ live video and VJ app for macOS. The VJ space is pretty built up with expensive and professional level software (TouchDesigner, Resolume, etc.) - Nottawa is aimed at the non-technical, hobby artist who wants some cool, simple, and audioreactive visuals without hiring a pro. Long term vision is a community powered repository of presets which can be loaded in-app. Still optimistically aiming for a 2024 release.
Much of the GLSL is Creative Commons fragments from ShaderToy written by brilliant artist coders from around the world. ImGui and an associated node editor library for the GUI, OpenFrameworks handles the graphics APIs. This is my first serious foray into shaders, C++, and OpenGL, meaning if I can ship a product and it helps one single artist then I'll walk away very happy.
I'm standing on the shoulders of giants with this one. Huge gratitude and respect for Inigo (IQ), Omar (ocornut), and Michal (thedmd).

#554A few weeks ago, I started some tutorials in the game engine Godot. I've been a developer for ca. 15 years and actually started with Game Maker many years ago. I always found it very fun, but started studying software engineering, got a job and did not have much time left to develop games. I decided to pick it up again as my situation now is different than 10 years ago and man, it is a joy to work with. Currently, I am writing a game design document and writing some ideas down on paper. I want to make the art and the music all by myself, which is a challenge but a fun thing to learn.

#555Working on wasitsent.com. It's an uptime
monitor that alerts you when your automated emails stop sending.
Hoping to get a working version out this week. In the meantime if you want to get an early peek at how it works you can go to sandbox.wasitsent.com. The sandbox is ugly but functional. It goes down a lot and the data is periodically wiped because I use it for testing.

#557using AI to audit sneaky, slippery, weaselly lawyers for claims. after 8 years of estate litigation, a lot of crap revealed in courts cause papers where counsels who collude to bleed the estates. AI does the legal issues analysis and match the lawyers subsequent motions to verify their appropriate and loyal response for the client's cause. On target to recover millions.

#558I'm building an async library for python called taskiq (https://taskiq-python.github.io/). It allows you to easily setup RPC over distributed queues. Currently I'm trying to add a monitoring to see what tasks are being executed.

#560I got so upset with Docusign being too expensive and unfair, that I quit my last startup to build a new one. I built a complete platform over the past 3 years, that doesn't require a subscription and you only pay for what you send. Give it a go if you need to send a document that needs to be signed. https://goodsign.io
This is nice, but I think it would be even better if you had some sort of unlimited plan or volume price (I see the $1k offer but that still is pretty high). A person conducting a survey with NDAs with 150 would find this useful, but if i am regularly conducting surveys with at least 1k people who have to sign NDAs, your pricing model becomes unfavorable. Great job all the same, this is nice.
Appreciate the feedback - you probably could do something much simpler for NDA. I don't really think you need a signature, a check box would be good enough in your survey saying they've agreed to your NDA.
GoodSign works really well for multiple signers, employment contracts and small to medium startups that are want a better signing tool and document management - but don't feel like the high prices of other tools is justified.
