Podcast Content Intelligence - https://siev.io/ I've been working on building a content intelligence dataset on podcast data. Using new LLMs I'm able to transcribe, speaker detect, and topic extract anything in the podcast space (or audio in general) and produce a detailed structured dataset from what people are talking about. The website is jank as hell atm, but I think the resulting transcripts are pretty interesti…

I really like this

https://www.pagesnap.app/ Webpage screenshots as a service. I was scratching a personal itch with this one but maybe some day I will make it something others can use at scale. Backend powered by Google Cloud Run, Pupeteer, and headless Chrome. Website is Next.js.

There's a market for it: https://screenshotone.com/

Definitely. I have a couple use cases for it at .

Thanks for sharing that link. https://www.url2png.com/ is another I know about.

I love to travel and often times I have to go to somewhere. This search allows me to plan additional stops in between my origin and destination. As an example, if I want to fly from Amsterdam to New York you can take a direct flight, or add a stop somewhere and add that destination as another stop. So maybe you could visit London for a few days, or Washington or maybe Bermuda.

Another one I am working on is https://startenv.com, this one will automatically convert your docker compose file to a test/staging environment whenever you create a PR or for specific branches. This way your QA or clients can give feedback for a specific feature before you release it. I've been using it for a few weeks and I am really liking it (but of course I am biased).

While TwinFlights is a side project I am hoping to turn StartEnv into a proper B2B SaaS. If you think this could fit your business, please reach out to me and I'll do my best to make it worth your time. :)

I couldn't find a PDF or Image to excel web app that was accurate enough and could offer ability to browser through the data in the web app. So I built one: https://bankstatementconverterai.com/

I also built https://www.thehomedecorai.com/ because I recently moved into a new house and the AI tools I saw were not generating realistic images or suggestions. So I built that one as well.

When I was a boy I found an app on MacOS 8 called Graphical Calculator. You could type in nonsensical maths like 'sin(x+tan(y))' and it would draw beautiful pictures.

20 years later I get the same kick out of GL shaders. I built this website to play with them.

I left my last job and a toxic boss a few months back and decided the only viable future is to start my own thing again. But this time I was going to do it properly - lean customer development, speak to users before writing a line of code, etc. Instead, I became fascinated by the massive improvements in OCR and how they can be applied to digitising boring paper records. Decided to start out with the most boring probl…

This is something I've been wanting for a while now, and I even considered doing exactly what you're doing and trying to figure out OCR myself. The reason I wanted it is because I would like to keep track of my bank balance over time, but I am really not comfortable giving access directly (like Mint required). But I then have the same issue when it comes to using an OCR SaaS tool because you'd have data. How are you thinking about privacy in this regard?

I'd be open to testing and providing feedback if you're interested.

twinflights is something I could use. Is it possible to select number of stop overs on each direction? e.g. often I like to wander on way out from home. But then on way back I just want to get home ASAP.

In terms of the UX, a table view is a bit daunting while I'm starting with an exploration mindset, perhaps start the user with a map instead?

Also FYI, I randomly clicked on Book a flight. It led me to Kiwi but the price went up from 158 to 198. I tried a few other buttons and the price stayed the same.

Thanks for sharing this, looking forward to see where you take it.
