What do you guys think of this? https://www.textaurant.app. It's an AI "agentic" SMS ordering system that's hopefully better than Taco Bell's attempt... I got sick of navigating every restaurants nuanced online order placing and figured I'd try to standardize it myself with an SMS based assistant (yes I'm aware of the XKCD). The idea is every restaurant would have their own number, or down the road I could have a single number for all restaurants but I'm somewhat token/context limited right now. It uses GPT 4o and I've been working on it for the past 4 months. Closed source for now but who knows I might open it up but I'm deciding if it's worth trying to patent.

#623I am working on an English learning app.
I combine flashcards like Anki with Duolingo-style motivation: leagues and streaks. Plus, integrated Giphy and a Telegram bot. Of course, we use the OpenAI API.
Also, as an idea for selecting words to learn, we parse movie subtitles with AI and find cool phrases and words to learn before watching a movie in English (as a second language). The app has Russian translations and UI.
My goal is to create the best online dictionary for English learners. We use a crowdsourcing approach where anyone can suggest a cool illustration for any word or phrase and add any word or idiom to learn.

#624I'm making a Chrome extension a day for a month. Basically the title explains it, I challenged myself to making a chrome extension a day for a month. I've been posting my progress on reddit, and my first two extensions have just been accepted to the chrome store (I'm only done day 3 so far, those were quick reviews!). For those interested: Day 1: Minimal Twitter Day 2: No Google AI Overview in Google Search Day 3: No…
Ambitious!

#625I’m building a small side project called https://www.localgeoguessr.com/ — a fun geography game that tests how well you know your local area. It’s still in a very early stage, not polished yet, but it’s somewhat playable. The idea is to eventually add more categories like “restaurants,” “theaters,” “roads,” etc., so you can play based on local themes. I’d love to hear your thoughts - any feedback on what you’d like t…
Love this. I chose a small village and got a few clues like "War memorial", I'd bet there are many War Memorials in the 10km radius - so was impossible to know which one it meant.

#626I've been suffering from migraines for the last month, so have channeled my (non-migraine) time into a migraine tracker to try and find the root causes. All the tracking apps I tried all have nice complex forms, which is all well and good, unless...you are having a migraine. Rough idea is easy to use voice mode to record data, then analyze unstructured data with AI later on. I want to track all relevant life informat…
Don't forget social triggers.

#627I'm working on a tool for creating custom color palettes for web designs that pass WCAG contrast requirements: https://www.inclusivecolors.com/ - You can precisely tweak every shade/tint so you can incorporate your own brand colors. No AI or auto generation! - It helps you build palettes that have simple to follow color contrast guarantees by design e.g. all grade 600 colors have 4.5:1 WCAG contrast (for body text) a…
wow! can you please include the example for Okabe-Ito (Masataka Okabe, Kei Ito): https://jfly.uni-koeln.de/color/#pallet COLOR='#000000' # Okabe-Ito: 1 black COLOR='#e69f00' # Okabe-Ito: 2 orange COLOR='#56b4e9' # Okabe-Ito: 3 skyblue COLOR='#009e73' # Okabe-Ito: 4 bluish-green COLOR='#f0e442' # Okabe-Ito: 5 yellow COLOR='#0072b2' # Okabe-Ito: 6 blue/darkerblue COLOR='#d55e00' # Okabe-Ito: 7 vermilion/red COLOR='#cc7…
Cool! Here's a quick link for now with those colors:
https://www.inclusivecolors.com/?style_dictionary=eyJjb2xvci...
I've sorted the colors by luminance/lightness and added a gray swatch for comparison so can explore which color pairs pass WCAG contrast checks.
I haven't really gotten into colorblind safe colors like this yet where the colors mostly differ by hue and not luminance. Colorblind and non-colorblind people should be able to tell colors apart based on luminance difference i.e. luminance contrast. Hue perception is impacted by the several different kinds of color blindness so it's much trickier to find a set of colors that everyone can tell apart. This relates to the WCAG recommendation you don't rely on hue (contrast) to convey essential information (https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/use-of-color.htm...).
The gray swatch above could be called colorblind safe for example because as long as you pick color pairs with enough luminance contrast between them, colorblind and non-colorblind people should be able to tell them apart. You could even vary the hue and saturation of each shade to make it really colorful, as a long as you don't change the luminance values the WCAG contrast between pairings should still pass.

As a fellow migraineur, I feel compelled to point out that the quest for triggers and root causes is probably never going to end. The way I see it, the migraine "bucket" slowly fills up, and the final trigger is simply the drop that makes it run over. I can suggest the research papers by Markus Dahlem for some in depth modern takes on migraine.
Maybe they can find out what empties the bucket.
E.g. meditation, yoga, ...

#630I’m still working on turning a wishlist app that I built for my friends into a real product — it’s called https://thingstohave.app . I wrote a comment about it in summer, and these are the updates: 1. I shared the app with the small audience I have and received some feedback in very unexpected places. First, it was hard to understand how lists work because putting things into lists was an unobvious process. I fixed t…
The design looks great!
