I'm building an RF monitoring system. It can tell you things like: - The car that parked nearby last night coincided with "Chad's Galaxy Buds" with MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. The buds also drove by briefly the previous night. - Alert on sudden cross-specturm interference (e.g. burglars using a cheap jammer to knock out WiFi cameras). - Alert on known device contact loss (powered off / left premises). - Review dev…

Could this be used to identify masked ICE agents?

I'm working on a multiplayer stock trading game that was inspired by all my favorite board games. https://www.spellfolio.com/

It's a web-based game for 1-8 players, features a tutorial and bots, plays like a board game, and operates with economy, bluffing, forward-planning, risk-taking, course-correcting mechanics.

Play as an amateur psychic navigating a fictional stock market. Receive premonitions, call in your wizard friend, navigate dividends & earnings releases, and chase the glamorous annual investor awards.

If you try it out, please leave me some feedback :)

A newspaper for kids - printed and delivered monthly. Full of puzzles, math, nature facts, science experiments, card games, outdoor scavenger hunts, etc... I wanted something for my kids to do for hours every month that is fun, education, and most importantly, screen free. I built a custom newspaper builder along with it to help me design it. I'm not a designer so tools like phoshop don't ocme easy. This allows me to…

Neat, I'm also planning a lil newspaper hobby project. I'm curious:

- what paper size are you going to use? Like full broadsheet size or zine size?

- and how many pages of content do you think you'll have, given that size?

- black and white, or color?

- where will you get all your content? Designing puzzles, experiments etc seems like it would take a long time

- do you recommend any printeries?

- anywhere we can follow your progress? I'd be super excited to see a first mockup

FWIW, as a web guy, I'm leaning towards designing my content in HTML + CSS and exporting to PDF at a certain page size, probably using playwright.

I'm working on a neovim plugin: https://github.com/patrick-sharp/waypoint.nvim

It's a bookmark plugin with a couple features I felt were missing from existing bookmark plugins. At my job I often have to navigate large codebases that I didn't write, and it's easy to get lost. This plugin should help with that.
