I'm working on Botnet of Ares, a hacking simulator game for PC [0]. It's an homage to classics such as Uplink and Hacknet, and also a commentary on the state of the IoT security industry. Recently I've managed to port the game onto a real-world cyberdeck, the uConsole. [1] [0] https://store.steampowered.com/app/3627290/Botnet_of_Ares/ [1] https://tiniuc.com/hacksim-on-cyberdeck/

This looks really cool. What are you doing for music? I have been looking for a new project to continue working on my production skills.

Currently working on an open source Heroku / Fly.io / Render alternative: https://canine.sh Its built on top of Kubernetes, based on learnings I've had from previous experiences scaling infrastructure. If you look at the markup PaaS (Heroku, Fly, Render) applies to IaaS (AWS, Hetzner), it's on the order of 5-10x. But not having that, and trying to stitch together random AWS services is a huge PITA for a medium sized…

cool! how does this compare to dokploy? same niche or are there important differences?

I'd say the biggest difference is in the backend -- canine is built on top of kubernetes, which is what lets it leverage the rich ecosystem of tooling and packages. Kubernetes has a reputation for being difficult to use, and so Canine tries to be super opinionated, and follow a set of best practices.

I'd like to think at this point (about 2 years into development) we've gotten to a place where the end user doesn't even know they are using Kubernetes.

I'm building a website to pull strava activities into my google/apple calendar (without needing permissions or logins) https://stravatocalendar.com/ It's working well and I think I can use the same "backend" to pull this data into a spreadsheet which could be useful for data hungry users/coaches/club and event organizers/etc.

Data hungry users/coaches probably already use something like TrainingPeaks[1], which has the more advanced features that you seem to want out of Strava. Might be worthwhile to check out if you're looking for ideas.

I'm building FlightWise ( https://flightwise.io ), an all-in-one SaaS platform for flight school operations. After acquiring a flight school, I quickly realized how challenging the day-to-day operations were. To solve the problems of aircraft fleet management, scheduling, and student course progress tracking, I developed a comprehensive platform that handles all aspects of running a flight school. Existing software i…

I love your landing page, it makes it very easy to determine how the product would be useful to ops.

Thanks! Really happy with its current state but it'll be further fleshed out a lot more in the near future with dedicated pages for each major feature set, e.g Bookings, Safety Management System, Simulator Management etc.

Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year, PlasticList found plastic chemicals in 86% of tested foods—including 100% of baby foods they tested. Around the same time, the EU lowered its “safe” BPA limit by 20,000×, while the FDA still allows levels roughly 100× higher than Europe’s new standard. That seemed solvable. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent lab testing of the specific p…

On https://laboratory.love/faq you say: "We never accept funding from companies whose products we might test. All our funding comes from individual contributors." On https://laboratory.love/blog you say: "If you're a product manufacturer interested in having your product tested, we welcome your participation in funding." Bit confused as to your position on funding.

Have zero stake in this, but I read it as they won’t accept blank checks from those companies, but if those companies want to pay for testing they can work something out. It’s poorly worded but I don’t think they are trying to be sneaky.

I’m building a goroutine capable typescript JIT. So far I have lexical scope, closures goroutines and GC.

Since I’m using AI to build it and have limited context window I started with the hardest first. So it only supports int64 now.

We're building a repairable and more sustainable ebike battery at https://infinite-battery.com :)

Any chance you'll take a look at power tools next? There are some Amish people who rebuild Dewalt, Milwaukee etc battery packs. I'd like a repairable/sustainable platform where I can actually check the health of the battery packs and replace worn out cells as needed. To give you an idea of the market, original batteries are about $149, and their knockoffs are around $100.

Yes! We're looking at it! :)
