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…

I suggest you xpost to Bryan Johnson's Blueprint community. I think might help you get a lot more food tested. That community is probably ICP and also can amplify the message.

Non tech, but I started a sports beverage company with my brother and a neighbor. We are based in South Florida. My brother and I grew up playing sports and remember the simplicity of home-made drinks we'd take to games that blew the likes of Gatorade out of the park. We aim to replicate the simplicity of home-made drinks with simple ingredients. https://www.drinkiso.com/ Our whole value-add is based around the fact…

Pretty cool, I’m sure you’re well aware but I feel like the powder packs are the future here. Makes E-commerce more feasible too. Have you looked into this? Guessing the fresh part rules it out?

Writing as someone that’s switched to liquid iv and have tried LMNT and a few others.

A tool to track SEC filings and dividend changes via Discord.

I originally built this for myself to track my investments, and decided to turn it into a product. I’m planning to add more functionality to support investment research.

In my free time I'm starting a new Low Power FM community radio station for the east San Fernando Valley. www.kpbj.fm

Very nice! Looking forward to when the online stream is available.

Thanks! We're hoping to get the online stream going by the end of the year. We have a _ton_ of programming submissions but its going to be a challenge to get it all scheduled.

I'm building out a new website for it right now too. Hoping to launch that soon.

Nice work! I've recently been modeling sheds in SketchUp both with and without the Framer extension and it can be really tedious. Random question as I don't know a ton of framing... is your sample model missing jack studs on the large door opening?

Good observation. Yes, because the gable wall isn't load bearing so it doesn't have a load bearing header which needs jack studs.

https://fooqux.com/ - an experimental tech article aggregator. For several years now, I've had a routine of collecting articles on topics that interest me throughout the week and then reading them over the weekend. To help organize and streamline this process, I created this website. The main idea is to gather tech articles in one place and process them with a LLM — categorize them, generate summaries, and try experi…

That looks great. Are you aiming to automate the gathering process or let users self-serve by creating their own list of bookmarks (then processing the pages on your side)?

I'm quietly adding "pull requests" for data to Grist https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/issues/1829 - been wanting to do this for a long time.

I tried doing this years ago as a stand-alone project and it was too much. I wrote a data diff/patch/merge tool called "daff" that worked okay. But I've always wanted to add this to a proper spreadsheet tool like Grist.

I really want people working on data projects to be able to work more like coders, with pull requests and reviews. Not all data projects are as curated as that, sometimes your data is just a big soup, but when it is curated, there should be a better workflow.

I've been working on a book called "The Little Chronicles of Mathematics, Data, and the Mind of Machines", this is a 100 sections journey from counting stones to thinking silicon. This book is more like a storybook for curious builders. I wrote it for people who love see how things connect, how math become language, how data become memory, and how machines learned to reason. If you enjoy clear ideas, and big arcs of history, this book is for you.
