I'm making a new tool for writers. With it, you'll be able to write your essays on "layers" The problem? Tweets are easier to read than long-form essays, as they require less time commitment. If the content is not good on a long-form article, you'll find out way too late. With this tool I'm developing: Layer 1 is the shortest version of your essay, the 1 min read — like a tweet. The idea boiled down to the shortest v…

Lots of design work to do too but decent MVP. How are conversions?
I mostly print nylons and PC and with the humidity here in HI it's a big pain to keep it dry enough. Even drying the spools in the oven doesn't really work because it takes days for the inner parts to dry out. So instead I'm building a heated and dehumidified box that will hold 8 spools and can feed the filament directly into the printer. The box itself is foam and fiberglass, the heater I'm reusing an old 3d printer bed heater, and the dehumidifier a thermoelectric element from a broken wine refrigerator.

QQuiz, a map quiz where you have a few seconds to click on the correct country. https://qquiz.com/eu_med.html I started off making it for maps. Now I am trying to make a more generalized version. This is for learning biology with parts of a cell: https://qquiz.com/cell.html With that I am mostly working on a geojson editor for creating and updating quizzes.
I bought an old trench coat from a thrift store and outfitted it with 350 programmable LEDs , an Arduino to control them, and a 24 AA battery bank for a music festival last year, it was a hit. I'm currently working on adding another 150 LEDs, fixing the power system (I burnt out the Arduino after a couple hours), and looking into adding a microphone and learning some sound programming to make the suit change colours…
Often times, for any real-life data, there are exceptions to the data over different periods of time. Building complex queries that handles these exceptions while not having to hold these in my head gets to be challenging. I want to build these queries iteratively with contextual help and autocomplete. I wanted something that makes me feel like I'm touching the data directly.
If this is something you find yourself wanting, let me know.
I was frequently annoyed at the lack of middle ground between easy purpose-built image captioning tools (as opposed to general image editors like Gimp), and full blown video editors just to make animated memes.
I intend to use some of the extra home time to improve the UI and maybe start adding social features and content import from external urls/clipboard. The user experience is pretty rough now.
Not sure I want to host user generated content and deal with DMCA for a hobby project.
It's not open sourced (yet), but the fun facts are that it's Clojure/Clojurescript w/ Rum as a react wrapper for the frontend. Have to say - Clojure(script)'s immutable data model is a dream for handling undo/redo in content editing. It also makes the path to a multi-user editor a'la Google Docs pretty simple.
Video encoding to animated gif & webm uses:
https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js
It's an almost completely a client side app - the video encoding happens in browser so the user content remains private.

I'm working on https://topstonks.com - We're covering the speculative culture of investing coming from Reddit's WallstreetBets and 4chan. I'm also considering buying a sewing machine and making masks for my local community. Shoot me a message if you'd be interested in branded (cloth) masks for your startup. This would help subsidize the cost. Still feeling the idea out.
