I’m building Pagecord to make blogging as effortless as posting on social media, but without the doomscrolling.

https://pagecord.com

It’s minimal in design, but packed with features.

The USP that customers seem to really value is posting by email. It massively reduces the friction required to blog and is surprisingly enjoyable.

Launching next week is custom home pages with dynamic variables. It’s in beta already, see https://iamgregb.io.

Pagecord is free and source available with an unbeatably priced premium plan of $29/year.

Follow along on GitHub: https://github.com/lylo/pagecord

Feedback welcome! :)

I have been building a mostly free website and API to interact with sec EDGAR filings, get realtime new filing alerts (and preview those alerts), and see the historical impact of financial filings.

Right now I am working on adding historical tables extracted from filings, as well as historical financials and their calculations.

Still a work in progress, but please check it out

Here on Croatian islands maritime traffic disruptions and power outages happen often. Constantly checking websites or searching paper notifications stuck on random street lamp posts is a no-go and timely information is important. I'm working on a mini-project which monitors official resources on the web and sends email notifications on time. Currently covering around 15000 inhabitants. https://skoljarev.com/bodulica/

Awesome! What are you using to send emails?

Hey thanks! Using Brevo, formerly known as SendInBlue. Free tier covers project's needs for now.

Inspired by iLovePDF, I am currently working on https://ilovellm.com

It is a small playground for text, vision, and audio models that use Transformers.js, WebGPU, and MediaPipe.

There's no server, no tracking, and no data leaving your device, everything runs locally. The models download once, cache for offline use.

https://SaasCustomDomains.com, it started as a side project while I was working on https://sparkloop.app. https://kit.com acquired SparkLoop and I decided to go full-time on SaaS Custom Domains.

It's basically a reverse-proxy-as-a-service. I handle TLS termination and cert management, offer routing rules, rate limiting, WAF + DDOS protection, proxy + web analytics, redirects etc. All accessible via very simple API.

Underneath it's Caddy hosted on AWS for proxy fleets, and Heroku for Web + API fleets.

Any feedback is welcome!

I’ve been working on https://redditdeep.com to solve a problem I’ve had for a while. I regularly browse Reddit (and Hacker News) to keep up with new trends and research topics, but it's really time-consuming. - It’s hard to find the right communities. Search and recommendation features aren’t quite there, and I don’t want to just passively scroll a feed. - Going through all the comments takes too long. I just want to…

Interesting, I has a similar idea for this problem of being overwhelmed with sources and the need to go into each submission and its comments.

But I went in a different direction, it is a mix of RSS reader with summarization. https://rss.sabino.me/

It is open source, and hosted for free on github pages, so you can customize the feeds and reddit communities.

There is also a configuration ready to use the locall llama from github build system, so you dont have to rely on paying for AI services

I've been working on a 3D voxel-based game engine for like 10 years in my spare time. The most recent big job has been to port the world gen and editor to the GPU, which has had some pretty cute knock-on effects. The most interesting is you can hot-reload the world gen shaders and out pop your changes on the screen, like a voxel version of shadertoy. https://github.com/scallyw4g/bonsai I also wrote a metaprogramming…

wow, this is so cool Jesse :)

I'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.

OpenAI gives an allotment of free daily tokens if you agree to hand over the inputs as training. I’d love a proxy that places the limit just before you exhaust those free tokens, to avoid incurring any expenses for small hobbyist projects.
