Working on https://shepherd.com/ and trying to help readers find books they will LOVE (not just like). In a few days, launching user accounts + our first user feature using our new Book DNA review system that is trying to help narrow in on the type of books you love and why. The goal is to serve better recommendations going forward and get more people excited about reading. It is fun :)

Awesome work

Thanks, have a bunch of cool features coming out soon too!

I launched Screen Recorded (https://screenrecorded.com/en) a few days ago. It's a screen recorder that runs in your browser.

I intentionally made it a super easy choice if you need a quick screen recording by not having any accounts, making it free, not watermarking videos, etc.

I also recently added WebP support to Batch Compress (https://batchcompress.com/en), which is an image compressor that runs in the browser.

I built an English-speaking website that helps immigrants settle in Berlin.[0] It has been my full time job for a while. Most English speakers know about it, but it's nearly invisible to Germans, who would also benefit from the content and tools I have worked on. I'm currently adding an automated AI translation feature to my custom static site generator, so that I can translate the website to multiple languages and r…

(on an unrelated note): I tried to move to Berlin for summer but quickly discovered almost no apartments have AC, I mean strong South Asia-level AC. It was a major no for me as I cannot sleep with temp above 20C, 18C is perfect. Any idea how to find an AC apartment next summer on local estate apps? Any "checkbox" somewhere to tick?

Maybe a hotel will do? You can also rent an apt and buy a mobile AC yourself. Which i did this summer, for the few days it gets really hot.

Super awesome work btw, I was looking to move to Germany and my mind was blown with the weird notary monopoly when it comes to starting a business. I couldn't believe that is how it worked...

Cool! I wonder if it is possible to have this trigger via shortcut keys or similar?

At work, I am helping internationalise and localise an HR platform as well as maintain a legacy one that is the biggest mess of spaghetti I've ever seen.

During my spare time I am building a web app to help my mom manage her healthy food market and trying to finish a ChatGPT wrapper web app to help me create meta descriptions for web pages a little quicker. Might monetise that one if it's worth the effort and will be valuable to people, we'll see.

Unfortunately I don't think there's a browser API for registering keyboard shortcuts that can trigger actions on webpages.

I'll make it a PWA soon so that it can at least be added as an app.
