Up For X: https://upforxapp.com/ I wanted to learn React Native and decided to build something simple and whimsical that I could see myself using. The app lets you set a status about what activity you want to do and see what your friends have set; ideally simplifying the first step in making plans with friends. It's still missing push notifications and some other key features, but I've gotten the basic functionality…

Reminds me of Google's "who's down for" app: https://www.greenbot.com/article/2999629/whos-down-is-google...

Huh, I'm surprised I never saw this. Thanks for the link

https://pingr.io - uptime (soon performance) monitoring service I'm looking for help regarding: - New features which you miss in such services - Pricing model ( https://www.producthunt.com/discussions/how-to-choose-correc... ) It's already working, though might be buggy a little. Thinking of switching to B2B, instead of B2C

Just had a look and your site looks great. some feedback. 1. I saw in the change log that you support IPv6, make it more prominent in the front page as well. (maybe add IPv6 support to pingr.io as well) 2. Your pricing is what I was looking for, per request and per location. but the fixed charge thing is what holding me back. maybe a prepaid option would be better. eg: a person adds $10 credit to the account and uses…

Oh thank your for your feedback

Regarding pricing, this is what I'm struggling with. The reason for fixed pricing is to cover commission + if I got a lot of users with like "$0.01/mo" usage, then it'd be hard to support all of them, it's literally free option.

I thought about prepaid, I don't remember exactly why I declined that option. I think I liked the digital ocean model, though they don't have fixed dollar.

Hmm

https://ulysses.sonnet.io -- It's a "text input" tool I built to develop a daily writing habit and reduce stress. It makes editing text really hard so you can focus on writing first: https://sonnet.io/posts/ulysses/ So far I'm doing 800-1000 words per day on average so I'm pretty happy with it! My fluency has improved drastically. TODO: - I need to change the name because Ulysses is a well known writing app. (I think…

Ulysses is really beautiful, no distractions and just a natural flow. As a name, maybe Ensō?

Heard of Trifacta? Something similar?

Similar, not as polished obviously. Also not in the cloud, the loaded data stays within the browser, all the transformations happen in browser. Primarily because I'd prefer more people to have that option. Not sure if anyone cares though...

in browser (staying local) would be a requirement for my usage where i have export restrictions on my verbal communication, let alone what i am allowed to send to someone else.

https://www.taskeera.com/ : Monitoring background and async jobs from start to finish. Half of the infrastructure and coding is done but I didn't find a big audience so I'm in the process of just open sourcing it. https://presentador.dev : Opinionated presentation framework based on MarkDown.

Taskeera looks very interesting and is something I need. FYI: you link to a Twitter account at the bottom, but that account has been suspended.

Oh brilliant! Please do get in touch, I would love to tell you more of how it works and hear more about your case. Thanks.

We have a Android Keyboard, a working application. However, we know it needs more work and some more killer features. In that sense it's half-baked.

Lipee Keyboard ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.svayu.lipi ) is a keyboard for Indic scripts and languages that uses gestures to speed up typing by 100%. I am also my own prime user, typing various texts (messages, social media, etc.) in Indic scripts, so I can also vouch of its utility myself.

A video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgW9V4YOHGQ

The first novelty is that it solely focuses on people who do NOT read/write English, but know their own mother tongue and script well. So, a native Kannada user (of Kannada script) or Bhojpuri person (of Devnagari script) are our prime targets.

The second novelty is that almost all Indic scripts add an extra line/symbol next to consonants, called "maatras" to create sound out of a consonant. Each sound has a unique maatra, for any consonant. We use gestures to add such a maatra to all consonants, which speeds up the keyboard typing hugely.

We know we can add more features and killer technologies to make typing in Indic scripts very smooth and fast.

We need more tech talent and support to make this happen, and I hope to on-board a CXO or a senior free-lancer for rapid development.

Do up-vote if you like this project, and spread the word!

Thanks!

awesome: https://github.com/AnonymousPlanet/thgtoa/blob/main/CODE_OF_...

Unfortunately, a more robustly social-justice-informed code of conduct is a requirement to be supported by (and receive funding from) some big players in the online privacy/security community. On a completely unrelated note not at all related to the above paragraph, ask me if you need any help with the Whonix sections.

Thanks :) If you spot anything wrong with my Whonix section. Feel free to submit an issue on GitHub. Mostly I'm referring to the Whonix documentation itself with some added personal experiences so it should be up to datte.

As for the code of conduct, this project does not aim to receive any support or receive any funding from any big player.

This project also aims to be remain as neutral as possible politically besides privacy and anonymity. Its only stance is that it's meant for adult people with good intentions and that those people should check the local legal aspects themselves unless they're in Germany where everything should be fine (multiple citations included in the guide in regard to that).
