I’m working on an open source verb conjugator for different languages, currently in Korean and Hindi. The conjugator will take in a verb and a grammar form and output the conjugated word. For example, the future form of ‘하다’(to do) should return ‘할꺼야’(will do). This API will come handy for people who are learning a new language or, if you’re like me, building a language learning app. It gives us the flexibility to cr…

Hi, this looks very interesting. I signed up at https://llip.io/ , but how do I choose Hindi? I am not able to switch from Korean

Hi, thanks for checking out our app! We are currently working on the Hindi lesson contents. We'll be sure to email you when it's ready. In the meantime, please feel free to ping us about our progress or contributing to our conjugator project.

I've recently been working on a simple-to-use birthday reminder service (simple as in: no need to open any accounts, no need to ever login anywhere, no passwords etc.): https://ReminderExpress.com Just finished working on v1 of this a few minutes ago, by sheer coincidence; it should now be fully functional.

I like this idea where the service does not need any accounts, just an email address. Do you have plans to monetise it?

Family has a birthday party supplies business, so there might be some non-intrusive ads for that with the birthday reminders.

Initially the plan was to partner with existing birthday reminder websites, but I didn't like that they required logins, passwords, etc. for something as simple as a birthday reminder.

Problem: I don't know when the optimal times to go to Krispy Kreme for hot donuts are. Solution: http://hotdonuts.info/ And yes, this is the most important problem in the world.

Is the start date supposed to be in the future? "The scraper came alive Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at 12:33 AM." Or am I in the past...

It's April 4th, 2017.

But it's okay… I thought it was 2018 earlier today.

Everyone is writing about their startups. My startup makes self-driving delivery robots ( http://robby.io ). But that aside, one of the things I'm working on is trying to use RNNs to create a better digital piano. Even the best digital pianos out there are far inferior to a even a YouTube recording of a concert grand piano. One of the biggest problems I notice is the complete decoupling of resonances between strings;…

Thanks! This is interesting.

Problem: Writing regular content for your product's blog is time consuming. Project: We are working on automating the content writing process. Articly ( https://articly.me ) is a automated content strategy and writing platform. You give us your site or product and every week our platform sends you a new article to post to your blog.

I'd like to "TRY" before making a bigger cash commitment. I can pay BUT want to have an 1 off article to see the quality. I am not saying free. Just gimme a taste. Before i fork over the dough.

No problem, we have a one article option for $60!

I'm working on a same-source MIR to "HSA IR" for Rust, allowing full use of generics and closures. The first target will be for SPIR-V, but it'll be easy enough to leave the door open for other targets, including FPGAs, so I'll be writing code to allow that.

This project is in it's early stages; I've finished the research in the Rustc compiler and figured out how I'm going to provide new "primitive" (ie a 4 by 4 matrix, a 16bit float type, etc) types to the framework (and work closures in), and have started writing code, but I have nothing working as of yet.

Scuba diving computers have become a necessary part of diving. Current models have indecipherable interfaces that hang from dongles or are worn as bulky wristwatches. I have developed a scuba diving computer HUD with a simple graphical interface placed in the diver's mask and is easy to learn and use. Also, scuba divers must maintain neutral buoyancy during the dive. The current method is manual, making it a difficul…

> Finally, wetsuits are made with neoprene, an air-bubble infused rubber. These highly buoyant suits force the diver to wear extra weight during the dive. They also compress at depth so the diver must compensate for the changes in buoyancy with the buoyancy compensator device. I have developed a wetsuit material using silicone and an additive that is a better insulator than neoprene and neutrally buoyant.

Awesome. The wetsuit might also be used by people with neoprene allergy. I have been using a suit from Fourth Element which does not trigger any allergies but doesn't keep me very warm either.
