Working on https://usedigest.com, a tool to curate content from any source into a daily email. No this is not just grabbing RSS feeds, we're using tons of APIs to fetch data wherever we can. The goal is to replace the mindless scrolling we all do on a daily basis and try to help people become more productive without the fear of missing out. You can consume the daily email, or read it on the web as we generate a direct link to your digest each day. Here is an example: https://app.usedigest.com/digests/share/b40cd659-bce5-4a38-9...

My October project is an immersive survival horror game that you can auto-generate for your home/space. https://pulsargeist.com

It actually won a prize at a hackathon recently and it was enough signal for me to make it a fully fleshed game :-)

I’m also making progress on an immersive gpu shader editor app that got release on AVP recently: https://shader.vision

I am working on a cloud governance and remediation solution.

Our first product was a CO2 monitor for your AWS infrastructure https://www.li10.com/

The next logical step is to provide tools to reduce it (along with cost reduction and security benefits)

Our first iteration is available here: https://github.com/li10labs/li10-governance

Really good job! Just a note your pricing comparison table looks a bit shady. I think you should give either your per year cost compared to the others, or put the document cost on the others. But the way you've done it makes it look like you are tricking people into thinking yours is cheaper. That's just the vibe I'm getting from it. I think that's what you want the takeaway to be there, so I'd suggest updating that…

The others don't do a document cost, so it does make it much harder to compare. The others just have a document limit, eg Docusign has a 100 document limit per user. Docusign has a really high cost per user (I don't charge for users, only for sends). So it is harder to compare apples with apples – at the end of the day GoodSign is just that simple. $1.50 per send, unlimited users : ) I choose 6 – because that's about…

That may well be the case, but I think you need to have a look at the design of this pricing grid as it is confusing or not helpful or misleading.

Perhaps some sort of slider where you can work out how yours compares to the amount of documents per month, so start with a sensible default and then show how much other services cost versus yours with, for example, 100 documents per month.

A native MacOS menu bar app that gives you a deep breathing reminder every hour: https://github.com/p44v9n/deepbreath/releases/tag/v0.0.4 Functional but a few small bugs to iron out, then want to get a nicer welcome screen up and submit to the Apple App Store. Would love any feedback!

Didn't try yet - however did you consider ppl are working / having meetings / etc - simply don't want to see anything on their screen they don't expect? What about proper notification & maybe 'blinking' icon in appropriate area? Setting could contain even sound and/or small menu appears similar to Battery status..

I have been looking for something like this, but the pricing is too high for my use case. It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens, or it's not generally worth it to me. It seems wild to me that something that in principal could be basically free costs so much.

For the curious, the price is $1.50/envelope, which seems very reasonable (I'm not affiliated). [0] > It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens When you factor in the price of buying a printer, and move the printed doc around for multiple persons to sign, it is comparable if not cheaper.

> When you factor in the price of buying a printer

I don't think that's a fair comparison, as you would have to compare buying a printer and pen, with buying a computer and internet connection.

I'm working on https://nuenki.app/ , a language learning tool. It teaches you a language while you procrastinate by inserting translations of appropriate-difficulty sentences into webpages as you browse HN etc. Currently trying to reduce costs by switching from using DeepL (high quality, low latency, high cost) everywhere to a hybrid that also uses Claude (high quality, high latency, low cost) for text that is far fr…
