2 years ago I created a guitar chords website to solve a problem I have with finding songs to play on my guitar/ukulele. You can login with your Spotify account and get some suggestions based on your listening history, and also import Spotify playlists. I wanted to create a website that is lightweight, more accessible and less invasive for the user. Existing chords/tabs websites can be a real pain to use. The design…

Hey this looks awesome ! I've been getting into guitar this year during confinement (apologies to my equally-confined neighbors), but Ultimate-guitar is so bloated it barely loads on my shitty wifi. This is exactly what I need.

Thanks :)

I am building standardized and modular mass-distributed DNA toolkits. Two blog posts for context: https://blog.libredna.org/post/cheapdna/ https://blog.libredna.org/post/sporenet/ Website offering version 1: https://www.sporenetlabs.com/ I pretty much figured out (after quite a few years) how to distribute DNA for 100x-200x cheaper. Right now, I’m building DNA toolkits for engineering every different organism (it’s e…

Very cool What do you think about the apocalypse story that a person uses something like this to make a virus worse than covid? (or the AI fears but with bio)

I am a bigger fan of the hero stories where everyone is able to fight an epidemic themselves, instead of being subject to the whims of pharma / ineffective government policy.

The moderna vaccine basically took a weekend to design, but many months to test, since they were going to give millions of doses out. What if one day, every small town had the ability to manufacture independently designed vaccines for local usage (once we have a better grasp of the background biology). It is quite likely that, while some of the vaccines may be toxic, they'll certainly be less toxic than the disease itself, and the distribution means that variation controls against new variants of the virus.

https://acreom.com/ is a powerful text editor for life organisation. Currently, there are many tools specialised in 1 area (todo, cal, notes etc) with terrible user interfaces. We want to create an intelligent all-in-one tool with lightweight design that will tackle the problem of how do we "design" our life holistically.

The landing page is in progress, so we're currently aggregating sign-ups here: https://forms.gle/HMTw4xa5ppABzCFRA We'd be delighted to share once its fully baked :)

It's an app for churches (or any live performance) to display and manage lyrics. http://alpha.lyricscreen.com:6754/ I'm missing accounts and some of the more frilly features, like different fonts and backgrounds. All the info is shared and HN could probably crash it. It's all synced live, so it's very loosely collaborative. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Interesting - have been thinking about something similar: collaborate on lyrics / song sheets with band, make a set list, transpose chords if required, display song (incl. notes) on iPads for band members.

I built a little tool to turn the dial on my thermostat. It's called the Thermoshat. https://blog.c0nrad.io/posts/thermoshat/

Okay, the name gave me a giggle. Then I clicked the link. Then the picture of the device gave me a giggle. Then the tagline gave me a good laugh.

Well played sir. Well played!

This looks like it's got a lot of great potential.

I use Trello right now and one thing it's sorely missing is dependencies.

Like this to do depends on this other to do.

there's mods and all but it's pretty clumsy and I wish it was baked in.

Just something to think about.
