"Google maps but for old maps": https://pastmaps.com This is a solo startup that I've been working on for 2 years now. It's a labor of love and I'm very lucky and thankful that it's big enough to surprisingly pay all of our bills. Still constantly feeling FOMO over all of my startup buddies working with AI and LLMs while I plug away at old maps and GIS . It gets ~80K MAUs and just slowly and consistently is growing o…

cool! you might be interested in https://maps.arcanum.com/en/ with a lot of European maps

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As someone who's curious (I see lots of room for improvement in terminals!), I can't tell what this does from the website, other than the ability to load and view 3d models.

Ah right, that’s just the “wow factor” hook. If you scroll down a smidge you’ll see a 3-minute video trailer. The Media page also has a 15-minute demo comparing Terminal Click against suckless. Of course I just need to do a better job telling you what we’re all about without the need to watch videos.

This isn't really the "wow factor" hook you're expecting. It's very confusing and doesn't at all show what it is.

After watching the video where you explain it, I understand and am much more interested in it.

Kanji Palace - https://kanjipalace.com I'm building an app to help people memorize Kanji by turning the characters into vivid, memorable images with accompanying mnemonic stories. I think AI image and video models have reached a point where they can offer a completely new approach to language learning. Next, I'm planning to add features that use AI to generate comic strips (using Seedream or Nano Banana), songs (usin…

Landing page needs way more quality examples.

There's one shown in the video (and which appears for 1 second after waiting 5 seconds for it to be generated) and 3 static ones below (two out of which don't really correspond to the text menmonic below the image).

Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year PlasticList discovered that 86% of food products they tested contain plastic chemicals—including 100% of baby food tested. The EU just lowered their "safe" BPA limit by 20,000x. Meanwhile, the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe. This seemed like a solvable problem. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent testing of s…

This is great. We definitely need something like this.

Where are the safe levels limits to interpret test results? This would be a small addition that would make any of the results interpretable. I had to open the PlasticList website to get the baseline safe thresholds for each chemical and to do some rough approximations.

I built Wikli ( https://www.wikli.com/ ) - an AI-powered news aggregator that clusters articles semantically and generates daily digests with editorial oversight. The Problem: News fatigue is real. Reading 50+ articles daily (from hundred of different sources) to stay informed is unsustainable, but traditional aggregators just dump links without context. Wikli uses a three-stage pipeline: Scraping & Processing (Cloud…

It's only in Italian lol

Building https://multi.dev , an AI coding agent with bunch of FOSS contributors We took a great amount of learning from tools like Cline, Roo.. After spending some time on their tech as active users/devs, we decided to build multi from scratch with drastically different take on core features, tech stack, ux/devex.. If you are an active user of similar tools, and/or want to try multi.. We want to hear from you. -- edi…

Love to try this out! We're using Cline already

I’ve been suffering from migraines for the past year and the health system hasn’t been too helpful in diagnosing why. I’ve got some meds, but they’re expensive and not without side effects. So I’m building an app to try and figure out how to avoid the triggers in the first place. https://dotsjournal.app Sort of like a digital bullet journal. You setup some rows of events you want to track, then just tap for when/if t…

> some rows of events you want to track

Neat.

I also created a grid for habit tracking (for chronic pain mgmt). Day of month across the top, all the things I'm supposed to do along the side. Something to share and discuss with my care providers.

Mine's just a spreadsheet that I tweak and print every month. (Then added to my discbound clipboard organizer, that I bring everywhere.)

I haven't had the gumption to digitize my effort. I really like the physical check lists. Though I've wondered how a hybrid solution might work. eg vital signs added automatically to digital version via Health.app. eg scan printed copy and magically fill in the digital version.

I look forward to seeing your app.
