Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

AFAIK this doesn't (can't) override GitHub's site-wide guidelines: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-...

Thanks, it doesn't claim to override GitHub ToS and I will adapt the guide if anything in there is against their ToS. So far nothing was reported to me as being against their ToS and I think it's fine as it is. This guide does not endorse/support anything unlawful in Germany. If that guide is used by anyone outside of Germany, they should check their local laws before. As for the code of conduct, the current "no code of conduct" approach is only meant to say that I have nothing to add besides the GitHub ToS which anyone has to agree to before signing up anyway. The guide also specifically states it's not meant for use for any unethical/unlawful activities of any kind and some sections of the guide have been limited.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Online Anonymity https://github.com/AnonymousPlanet/thgtoa (Please don't be too harsh as it's still a draft but any opinion, criticism or help would be welcome)

Thanks for doing this!

Thank you!

I built football11challenge.com after spending a ridiculous amount of time solving this challenge on twitter: https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/1250066001821130759 I wanted to extend on the initial premise by allowing users to define and share arbitrary constraints for a soccer starting 11 and automate verification of a squad given the set of constraints. It needs a little bit of polish but overall I really learned…

This is really cool. Are you planning to add different sports? Would love to see Hockey.

Thanks! At the moment I'm only focusing on soccer because that's what I know best : ) However, I can easily see this being extended to other team sports.

The main bottleneck is obtaining data around the teams that a player played for. Right now I'm depending on wikipedia because the soccer data is very rich and easy to parse. I'm not sure this is the case for other sports. The data could always be crowdsourced if there aren't any good data sources for other sports.

https://www.thingybase.com/ It’s a home inventory app! I’ve been working on this and using it for almost two years now in tiny little scraps of time I have between my day job and raising 2 kids. I’ve embraced the “half-baked” aspect of shipping a project like this by drawing silly stick figures for all the illustrations. It’s just been so much fun building and using it. If you use it, don’t worry about me abandoning…

I'd love to make labels like this for the boxes in my storage unit (and then be able to look up the contents from home). Your site clearly explains the product, it's very compelling for me! I couldn't find anywhere on the site though: can I export the data and self-host? If I were to invest time cataloging my data this way, I'd want to be sure I had a backup plan just in case the service went down one day

There’s a CSV export for backups that you can find from the Dashboard.

Is it open source?

It’s not open source.

It's an app for churches (or any live performance) to display and manage lyrics. http://alpha.lyricscreen.com:6754/ I'm missing accounts and some of the more frilly features, like different fonts and backgrounds. All the info is shared and HN could probably crash it. It's all synced live, so it's very loosely collaborative. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Interesting! Can you share the code/run on-premise server? I'm interested for a different (language) church. I started to try GitHub pages to share lyrics, but failed to add all songs I planned.

Lyrics are complicated due to copyrights I believe, but I will throw my awful MVP up on GitHub. There's a Dockerfile work-in-progress as well, but it seems I haven't committed it yet.

Interesting - have been thinking about something similar: collaborate on lyrics / song sheets with band, make a set list, transpose chords if required, display song (incl. notes) on iPads for band members.

Yep! This is exactly what I'm hoping to build! I'm putting the source on GitHub shortly.
