No-code platform for building dynamic apps and websites: https://saasufy.com/ It's further along than what is available online right now though there should be an update in the next few days as it's very close to MVP. It allows you to build tables, lists and pages which update in real-time and support complex views including filtered by category and/or based on variables with pagination. It's designed to be fast and…

Will it be available without needing a crypto token?

Yes, likely. Though it hasn't been priority for MVP.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Negating a selection criterion ('no swimming pool').

Thank you for the input. Would you care expanding on why you would find it useful?

Right now it isn't very useful as there is only one pertinent criterion (swimming pool) (therefore this isn't very selective) and the database isn't shock-full of properties (therefore there isn't much 'noise' in a query result).

However I bet that, with time, other boolean criteria will appear while the DB will grow, leading to more and more need for selectivity (weeding out 'noise').

I was let go from Google in January, I started work on an iPad app: a visual schedule for neuro-atypical children to help them with tasks: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kokua-steps/id6450752938 I shipped a rough v 1.0 a couple months ago, it has had FOUR downloads total . If you have a kid with autism or ADHD it may help you.

Looks like it is geoblocked, not available in my region

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w1DDwnFWLM QR-powered home organization app! My family and friends use it constantly, but I never polished or promoted it further than that video :) If you're organizing your garage/shed/projects bench and want to give it a try, I'm happy to mail you a big stack of stickers!

I definitely have this problem, but... do you find the QR code setup improves on a piece of masking tape on the side of the box? I feel like I still continue to be lazy and not put stuff in the right box, not return it to its spot after use, etc. :/

C) what am I doing? B) what do I do after this? A) are tools and materials in the desired location?

A is more important than B and B is more important than C

Almost everyone is overly focused on C which ruins productivity and looks very unprofessional. We all know it when we see it.

https://podd.app - a web vased podcast player, can be installed as a PWA

Nice. Tested it on desktop and iOS. Works well. The content plays nicely, though I couldn't understand any of it ;). Good luck

Thanks, it should exist content in any language if you search for your podcasts. If you get an empty result, wait a minute or two and check again. I have some auto-discovery code that tries to fetch new podcasts for empty searches (capital sensitive unfortunately).

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-blind-m... I made this so I could share pictures of maps with my color blind friend. You right click on a picture of a map, select color-blind map fixer and it re-colors the map. I made it in about a day, it needs some work to handle edges (especially because many pictures of labeled maps are jpegs with artifacts instead of pngs for some reason) and it's slower tha…

)-: This is why I don't use certain authenticators that assume one-and-only-one is safe. I guess people who make them either have stuff they don't mind losing access to permanently, or don't know the first part of the Backup Mantra: one is none; two is one.

I'm sure there's some way I could get it off the drive of the broken phone which I still have somewhere, but quite honestly, if an organization is going to make it hard to interact with them, I won't do it unless I have to (banks, hospitals lol). I still like Firefox but I'm not gonna make extensions if they're gonna make my life harder.

Reddit clone: https://github.com/ferg1e/comment-castles https://www.commentcastles.org For moderation, a user whitelist sits in front of the typical content blacklist, which introduces some interesting properties.

Not really a Reddit clone, as I don't see subreddits, but it looks like a solid start toward that goal!

It does:

https://www.commentcastles.org/r/meta

https://www.commentcastles.org/r/internet

But they're a little more like tags, you can use up to 4 per post, and there are no admins for each one.

waggledance.ai! - source code: https://github.com/agi-merge/waggle-dance - buggy demo available @ https://waggledance.ai - really neat (IMO) adaptation of Plan-Validate-Solve - similar to AutoGPT and its ilk but with different architecture decisions - seeking co-founders/contributors

That's pretty cool. What LLMs do you currently support?

Thanks for the kind words. The demo is currently limited to OpenAI models (namely gpt-4, but it is currently pinned to gpt-3.5-turbo)

However it would probably only be a day or two’s work to add support for a few others— I should really prioritize that!

Podcast Content Intelligence - https://siev.io/ I've been working on building a content intelligence dataset on podcast data. Using new LLMs I'm able to transcribe, speaker detect, and topic extract anything in the podcast space (or audio in general) and produce a detailed structured dataset from what people are talking about. The website is jank as hell atm, but I think the resulting transcripts are pretty interesti…

Trying to build the world's largest encyclopedia of magazines, fanzines, journals and newsletters. Most of the world's magazines are dead and buried, languishing as copyright orphans with no known owner. Yet, they contain far more knowledge than probably all the books combined? We should probably think about training the next LLM on all the world's magazines as well as all the books. It is less than half-baked. I ask…

I love this one! It has occurred to me that while there is a wealth of information online, there is perhaps even more information in print that takes a staggering amount of work to digitize and organize sensibly. It's very interesting to come across someone actively working on a project like this. An idea I had recently that's vaguely related is that it would be really cool to try to put together a massive product in…

I am actually working on that at the same time. I'm using the same wiki engine I'm building for Magazedia to build the bigger site which collates every product ever made. Which is a large task, let me tell you...
