I'm struggling with https://memordo.com which is a minimalist flashcard platform where you can create public and private decks. I use the tool religiously because I prefer my tool over the others tools available. I think the strategy forward for me is to create some public decks that others people would like to study.. Do you guys have any cool ideas for decks?

Language learning decks are super popular. I've been learning Russian for a couple of years and finding good vocabulary decks has been a challenge. I know there are some spreadsheets out there with the 5,000 or so most commonly used words that might help you automate the process.

https://lofichess.com I wanted a trimmed down interface for following live chess streams. To keep the website updated I run an AWS Lambda every two minutes that does the following: 1. Pulls active streams from the Twitch API. 2. Uses the Go templates library to repackage the response as static HTML. 3. Uploads the static HTML to S3, where it is served behind CloudFront.

Interesting approach to generate a static website. Is this completely free? Or do you end up paying for the Lambda task?

https://github.com/internalfx/pageflo A Flexible headless CMS. Create data structures and deliver them to any front-end through an API. It's actually not totally half-baked and is perfectly usable, but could use some more polish.

Nice! I've been looking for something like this. I'll watch your video.

https://cinetrii.com analyses reviews to infer possible inspirations behind a film.

There are a bunch of things that could be improved with the text processing applied here. The wrong movie title is resolved occasionally, like failing to distinguish between an original and a remake, or a book. Sometimes the wrong part of an article is parsed, resulting in wrong connections.

But I think it works overall, for the right type of film with a rich discourse.

https://github.com/briancappello/flask-unchained I wanted something better than Django. So I built this. IMO it's already there from a technical perspective but the documentation needs some more work. Would greatly appreciate any feedback!

I used padrino for a while, because it advertised itself as half-way between sinatra and rails. I liked it, but I don't think the framework ever had enough support to be able to rely on it, and since it's not well known I wouldn't pick it again in an environment where someone else had to code on it.

Flatpack Apps is a lo-code tool for database application development. No demo version on the website yet, but that will come soon. https://flatpackapps.com

You probably already know this but https://flatpak.org/ is used for app distribution so you may struggle with organic discoverability
