Repo: https://github.com/specfy/getstack

I'm building this website to track technology trends and usage across the most popular GitHub repositories. I parse 35K repos every week and find tech inside, aggregate it in Clickhouse, and show a summary on the website.

It was a good opportunity for me to finally learn more about Clickhouse, also trying to fully self-host on a VPS, which has its own challenges, especially regarding hosting frontend with SSR

I’m playing around with the idea of a location intelligence data union. I work in an adjacent space, and it drives me crazy that there’s all this data about humans moving around that could make a huge positive difference in the world but it doesn’t, because ‘good’ actors won’t touch the shadily data broked data.

I figure the solution is to pay people for their location data, and be up front and transparent about collecting it.

I just released version 1.4.0 of my app ReminderSync for Obsidian!

https://turquoisehexagon.co.uk/remindersync/

The latest version supports dataview tasks format and multiple reminder lists with Routing Rules.

I think the product is pretty much feature complete now so I’ll probably start doing some marketing and move onto coding something new. Sales until now have all been organic.

I've been working on and off on a client-side* SERP rank tracker: https://serpowl.com/

I wanted a simpler alternative to the self-hosted SerpBear tool that I could use and share, so this is the result.

It uses SerpApi (where I work) as the data source for what actually executes the SERP scraping because it's much too complex to have purely client-side, but 100% of the rank tracking portion is client-side.

It's not fully complete and there's definitely rough edges with it, but because of the data source, it supports a large number of search engines right off the bat.

I am working on building a prototype for a simple 4-track recorder. It would be a cross between a Yak Back [0] voice recorder and a Tascam DP-004 [1] mixer.

My 7 year-old has gotten into music and is trying to record his own ideas. We have found the existing tools to be either too simple (Yak Back) or way too complex (Tascam). I want to make him something that has a simple interface, few buttons, and simple recording/mixing. The idea is to avoid the software programs like Garage Band and Logic.

JSON API to integrate with QuickBooks Enterprise / QuickBooks Desktop https://qubesync.com

Spent 14 years slogging through a custom implementation with my previous company, and didn't want my pain and suffering to go to waste. Just spent a few hours yesterday to replace that app's integration with my new api and got a pretty good diff:

In the last 3 months, I've analyzed 540 directories and platforms (did backlink analysis with Semrush, checked whether new tools have been added recently, checked traffic, tried submitting on the platform, checked approval time, special requirements etc.) and curated a list of the best 100+ platforms to launch your new product and gain initial backlinks.

I recently launched a free newsletter where I'll be sharing one platform every day with pro tips based on my experience for the next 100 days.
