I absolutely love pre-1800 homes and am exploring a few ideas on how to help preserve and promote them. The main thing I'm working on to that effect is https://homelore.org It's like a carfax but for your home, although the intention is more to create an interesting historical narrative that inspires people to care about the history of their home rather than as a tool for inspecting home issues before buying. My targ…

This looks great and I'll probably order a report. A couple of small suggestions. First, the price is very reasonable, but I think you should be more open about what it costs -- maybe on the home page or at least the Order Report page. Second, I think you should tell what areas of the country (world?) that you can provide reports for, again on the main page would be great.

Trying to solve my own problem of drowning in meetings and scattered tools, turning things into actionable items. It sits on top of what I already use and gives me a unified "What do I need to do (now/today)?" view. Trying to auto-capture action items from meeting transcriptions and other inbound, and routing quick thoughts to the right tool with a couple of keystrokes, helping me prioritise my day so I'm not spendin…

Can you share more about your setup? This is such a common problem.

Me and Claude have been working on zfetch (https://github.com/roobie/zfetch), which is a single static binary that fetches URLs over HTTPS with strict security defaults. For many applications, it should be able to replace curl in restricted environments where you need a small, auditable tool with no runtime dependencies.

It should also be usable as a Zig library for embedding HTTP(S) fetches in your own programs.

Notello - local-first notes & tasks app for individuals / small teams.

We got tired of bouncing between a note-taking app and a task tracker. Notion combines them but it's slow and its offline capabilities are limited. Linear is fast but tasks-only. Obsidian is local-first and e2ee but single-player. So we're building Notello - notes and tasks in one deeply nestable tree, real-time multiplayer, works offline, e2e encrypted.

Reads/writes hit local SQLite first, sync happens in the background. That way everything is instant, you don't notice the network except in some very special use cases. Runs on web and desktop with shared core logic.

We're building it for powerusers like us who want IDE-like navigation, block editor, control over their data, granular sharing down to individual entries and more. Your work workspace and personal workspace live side by side, no switching workplaces.

Old website that needs refreshing (we failed to build it beyond an MVP a decade ago but armed with more experience, we're giving it our best this time): https://notello.com . Launching within the next few months!

I didn't like any of the car maintenance apps I've tried, so I'm building my own. simpler, can be run locally (I run it in a k3s cluster). I don't think I have any stand-out features for it right now, or planned for the near future, but it works well for my purposes.
