#703An open-source, self-hostable app for sending out newsletter to your friends and families. I'm mostly making it for myself because I want to share what I've been up to and family photos, without uploading it to Facebook or whatnot. At the moment, the flow goes like this: 1. During the week, write posts for things that have happened. 2. Posts can be assigned to groups. (family, friends etc). 3. At the end of the week…
Can a recipient be a member of multiple groups, for example, if I happen to be among coworkers and family (or whatever)? If so, hopefully I would get one newsletter containing all the posts tagged as any of my groups. But this means the potential number of different newsletters grows exponentially relative to the number of groups (although in practice, it would be extremely unlikely that a huge number of combinations…
This sounds like Google+'s circles.

#704I’m working on https://postcardlove.com — a super simple site that lets you send real postcards using a photo from your phone. No login, just upload, write, and send.
It started because I wanted to send my sister an old photo for her birthday, and instead of using CVS or Shutterfly like a normal person, I ended up building it using Bubble and Lob.
Now I’m exploring the B2B angle — a friend asked if I could do postcard mailings for her medical practice. Curious if anyone here has experience with postcards for outreach or marketing?

#706I'm working on a MCP Server to get Starlight API documentation quickly connected to any model. I have the initial stuff setup, doing some experiments now to figure out how to optimize performance (reduce number of roundtrips, don't overload the context).
For example, if during the conversation someone asks, "tell me how this API call works". It should be able to. 1. find the right API document (requires search) and then 2. 'retrieve' that API document. But if that API document also requires other content (eg Authentication is separate) that will require ANOTHER roundtrip. So I'm currently trying to figure out what the best flow would be for this.

#707Working on: https://www.zigpoll.com a contextual micro-survey tool solo.
I'm now supporting over 30K clients and over 40 million survey responses. Naturally lots of things come up when scaling a project solo heres a few:
- Optimizing existing reporting dashboards
- Improving onboarding experience
- Tapping new growth channels (Organic SEO, Paid ads, Integration marketplaces)
- Resolving customer support tickets and minimizing ticket flow in general
Lots of things come up which always keeps the work interesting. It's probably time to scale past one person though so that's next on the docket!

#709I’m hacking on a tiny open-source/self hostable “prompt vault” so you can stash prompts and personas once and use them with whatever AI model you’re playing with today (or tomorrow). Right now it’s just a single-binary server with a SQLite file next to it—add / edit / tag in a simple UI, then copy or share. Next on the list: a lightweight browser extension that pops your saved snippets anywhere there’s a text box. Ma…
Do you have a placeholder repo I can star?

#710Working on https://sauna-assistant.com - app to make sauna rituals in home sauna - from ambient music and time tracking to lighting automation
It is a personal itch for my home Sauna. Lots of stuff to manage, but trying to work on consistency as a priority as I dropped the ball in many previous attempts.
