Project: Resume builder that is very opinionated. More focused on underemployed and unemployed. Folks who don't know how to sell themselves well. http://jobhero.org It is open sourced on github. Problem: Need more (good) resume template designs. Want to move to react to learn react (angular 1.6 currently). Will move to JSON Resume standard for storing the resume. Will include a login provider instead of the current u…

What a great idea. If you're not charging, I wonder if craigslist would link to you, there are so many people posting resumes on there that are just hopeless, it makes you feel sorry for them. Some people just can't write well, a service like this could really help.

currently making low-cost and low-powered tree cameras that will hang from Atlanta-area fruit trees and send us once-a-week tree photos. The idea is that we can hang them in trees all over the metro area and keep an eye on when they ripen. This is mostly powered by the Twilio programmable data service and the Ai-Thinker A20 ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DIYmall-ESP8266-A20-Wifi-GPR... ) -- WiFi and 2G cell radio…

What kind of a cell plan (and pricing) do you use for this?

Are you making it so tesla cars literally​ sell themselves?

Tesla owner needs to cash out and sell his tesla. Opens my app and gets an offer OR uploads to get offers from buyers. I am not sure. What do you think?

Could be helpful to people. Not sure how often it would be used though, since tesla also sells there own used cars. You could also try to scope outside of Tesla's as well. Tesla may have a great computer in it, but alot of cars have computers in it. I'd says start with tesla definitely (since you seem to have already started :) ) but don't be afraid to Branch out!

Quick note - your homepage says 'try without registering', but clicking on the editor button prompts for a login.

Hey, thanks for replying! This definitely shouldn’t be happening, would you mind sharing which browser/OS you’re using? Do you maybe have cookies/javascript disabled? You can send a quick mail to dzeno at tuiqo.com if you want.

Looks like you fixed it. :)

A self-contained binary would work fine for me (If it could run on a Surface Pro 4 - or as a VM image - eg. hyper-v and/or virtual box). I always prefer a Free software/open source solution - but I'm not sure how you'd monetize that. Maybe charge for the app (ios/android) - and provide a free/open self-host server solution, along with a subscription service and a web client? (The payment for the app would also grant…

The plan is to offer a subscription service even if there's an offline component. For a bunch of reasons, it's the best approach for a one-person venture trying to get off the ground. I've been an OSS user and supporter for a long time. I don't think I'll be open sourcing the core system anytime soon, but I'm very likely to release any useful NLP or ML-related libraries that are created as part of this project. Not s…

I understand. Fwiw I recently had a look at "cyberduck" again - they do a gpl+free(nag) binary+sale through windows/Apple appstore:

Not sure what kind of income they see, though.

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.

Love the idea of not having to sign in. Got an error message however.

Code Corps is intended to be a place to find and volunteer for open source projects you think are worth whatever free time you have. For maintainers, we'd like to make scaling your community trivial: acquire and retain volunteers, onboard newcomers, recommend the right tasks to the right people, and fund your operations. https://www.codecorps.org As an aside, I'm kind of curious how others feel they fare on building…

I don't like that I cannot browse projects without signing up. I like looking into things before acquiring more spam mail.

You can definitely browse projects without signing up.

Problem: AWS Lambda cannot be used for high-traffic low-latency APIs over HTTP right now, because of cold starts and high API Gateway costs.

Project: Keep AWS Lambda functions warm by calling them every so often, making sure enough containers are provisioned concurrently. Currently working on a prototype for an API Gateway replacement.

Prototype available on https://lambdacult.com/

Working on my second encrypted email project. The first one got some traction but ran out of money. https://oakmail.io/

I worked for an encrypted email company for ~4 years and I'm pretty familiar with the space. How do you solve the user experience problem associated with PGP in terms of sharing keys? You cannot send an encrypted email to someone you have never communicated with before, right? Do you have a blog or anything to follow?

The guy who does backend at Oakmail here.

1. Supporting external APIs greatly helps the cause. Keybase, Facebook PGP.

2. Custom protocols for TOFU key sharing. There has been some effort in ModernPGP regarding that. Not a fan of that.

3. Certificate Transparency implemented for WoT. Something that Gary Belvin from Google proposed during 2nd OpenPGP Summit. Pretty cool stuff.

4. Legacy key servers.

People say that you can't make e-mail secure. Sure as hell you can - the protocol is very flexible and if you cooperate with other companies you can at least create a mini encrypted ecosystem for emails. If we finish the product, we could grab a significant market share away from the competitors and get them to implement new features to finally create proper products.

Made this web app to help you figure out how your favorite language is doing in the job market / what to learn next. Every month I scan the previous months’ Hacker News 'Who Is Hiring' thread and build these stats. Hope others find this useful. Constructive feedback welcome. This is only the first version. Next I'm planning to add more data for previous months/years as well and show the evolution of individual langua…

Really neat website. Would be awesome to set a time frame or pick a month etc.
