Been working on https://www.stainedglassatlas.com . Trying to document and map as much of the publicly accessible stained glass as possible. The goal being the next time you visit a new city or town, you'll know where all the beautiful stained glass is to go see. Just recently added support for countries outside of North America. No exciting tech (vanilla HTML/CSS/JS). But excited for folks to check it out!

I like it but I'd like to see images right in your page instead of going to an external website which sometimes is not even dedicated to stained glass making hunting for visual gratification really painful.

So, I'd add more visuals to the main page just like on your 'search' link, move the map to the bottom, let visitors know of every new location to keep them engaged and coming back for more, make a gallery sorted by most liked, viewed, commented, valuable (subjective based on history, cost, location, etc)

After 10 years in defense tech, watching missile attacks in Ukraine and the Middle East made it clear how little most people really get about air defense. So I'm building this simulator which drops you into the operator’s seat. You can test out different scenarios and build an air defense network against various types of threats (stats from real world). Also have Ukraine, Israel-Iran scenarios. The new version is a lot more optimized, thanks in part to feedback from you all in HN. Currently I am working on a new featureset with missions, where the user is given a budget and geographical area to defend by placing different air defense assets; after which the system attacks it with various missiles and UAVs. Useful for just learning, exercises, playing through scenarios to defend critical infrastructure etc.

I got tired of Spotify recommending me, or creating playlists with the same songs over and over again, so I built something to make varied, targeted playlists from my library. I've been using it for months now, and the playlists generated are my top listened to playlists - I'm literally listening to them every day. Personally I'm super happy with it, and a few friends have also been using it quite successfully. https…

I've started working on a gotosocial alternative (activitypub/fediverse server) that's a bit more geared towards interoperability, hackability, and openness. Also submitted an NLNet funding request, fingers crossed!

I'm working on bewCloud [1] after getting a decent sponsor(ship) earlier this year from NLnet.

It's a simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud (built with TypeScript, Deno, Fresh). Recently it got a CalDAV and CardDAV server, and I'll be working on the calendar and contacts UI next.

I'm working on JustRef[1]: AI Referee for Sports. I shipped the product a few days ago and seeing more than 2K users have already signed up and using the web app. Seeing people enjoy the application you created gives me a lot of enjoyment. Currently, I'm giving away 1 credit for every sign-up. No need to pay to try out.

My roommate and I are still working on Tornyol, our mosquito killing drone! It uses ultrasonic sonar to detect mosquitoes, and missile control theory to ram into mosquitoes and grind them in its propellers. Our target platform is a 40 grams tinywhoop so it’s safe to fly everywhere and makes almost no noise :). A Roomba for mosquitoes! The main plus compared to traditional systems is that a drone can cover an enormous…

No to discourage you ,but how do you handle a real world cluttered room where mosquito's will be able to shelter in the clutter, under table, drawers etc.

That sounds awesome actually, as a woman football player I for sure would have some proper fun with it. You should try to pitch it to the organizations imo!
