I'm working on PhotoStructure. After 20 years of taking photos and videos, and suffering through numerous cloud-based photo startups that end up folding in a year or two, multiple crashed servers, and having my smartphone camera feed the adtech beast, I decided I needed something that: * ran on hardware that I owned (or rented in the cloud) * had robust de-duplication [1] * didn't require expensive or proprietary har…

This is everything I have ever wanted in a photo manager and I am so excited to see this.

I've been working for a while now to get my PC to play the game Robotron directly on the xbox360. Tried multiple reinforcement techniques (DQN, DDQN, Etc) and I haven't had any luck. Converting it over to work with Rainbow now. Lets hope. https://github.com/stridera/robotron

I've got a few things going:

1. A company playbook writing tool that helps you document team and company processes. It gives you a nice online browseable playbook, along with .epub and .mobi download.

2. Adding more advanced features to my https://yuml.me UML tool, including text formatting, UML packages, and a more succinct DSL.

3. A contract e-signing tool that doesn't suck on mobile. For some reason, every digital signature tool I use feels yucky.

4. A tool that lets you write out user stories and converts them into example mobile wireframes by parsing the text. You can also do point estimations for relative sizing.

I'm working on http://trymaniac.com which is a set of tools to make documenting code easier and faster. The basic idea is having the code itself drive the documentation. This means: - Autocomplete that's powered by the codebase/previous docs. - Code tracking so documentation doesn't go stale. - Automatic updates when the changes are simple/minimal. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts/feedback. Anything I'm missing…

Maybe you could add on the homepage for which languages it works. It looks like it's python only. Is it?

I'm building a community for knowledge sharing (www.sivv.io). People use this to share and discover short summaries of useful ideas, knowledge or advice that they come across in the books, articles, podcasts etc that they consume. This allows members to learn more while actually reading less. You can sign-up to the beta version at www.sivv.io - any feedback would be very much appreciated!

I grew up playing tower defense games on Kongregate and Warcraft 3. I loved building an intricate maze of towers, optimizing it's structure to get the maximum efficiency, and building on my mastery of the game. Even more than that, I loved how players could collaborate and build these mazes together to form an even better structure. I've been working on an indie tower defense game that I hope captures this essence of strategy and multiplayer. I'll be releasing this game on Android within the next week and iOS shortly after!

I'm working on RISC-V based SoC on a Lattice ECP5 FPGA. The end project is a low cost combination signal generator / oscilloscope for aligning antique radios that I eventually want to sell. But the firmware will be RISC-V based and I think this will be a great example design for others to use for their own projects. I show one way to make an SoC purely in Verilog (no external system-builder tools needed). Right now t…

Very nice work. I love hardware based projects. Regarding the FPGA isn't the Lattice ECP5 FPGA too costly for a personal project?

> The end project is a low cost combination signal generator / oscilloscope for aligning antique radios that I eventually want to sell.

What do you mean by aligning antique radio? Could you please explain a little bit on this?

Are you using lattice tools to build or open source tools?

Also is it similar to Red Pitaya board?
