I'm building Recon Wave ( https://reconwave.com ) - we monitor companies online perimeter and let them know when something's wrong. Recon Wave basically finds and scans all their services - DNS, IPs, Apps, Ports - and notify customers when it breaks some policy (aka. "no ports than 443 should be open") or when some service is straight vulnerable. I'm former security engineer and I hated all that "critical reports" th…

I'd hope companies practice Zero Trust nowadays and don't just close off all the ports (and leave things vulnerable, just inside a VPN...)

I'm all for in for it. Sadly, companies host wild stuff and forget about it.

What we build is primarily focused on companies that have at least hybrid stack - some on prem, some in cloud. If you completely behind load balancer and have strict change management, we can't bring you any value.

In ideal world, we wouldn't have any business. But oh boy... Companies host wild stuff.

Every single conversation I had with clients ended up with us showing some of their infra and the response was "wow, we didn't know this is ours".

I develop an app that makes it easy to create charts in your style, while following best data visualization practices. Upload your CSV, write a prompt, and get a journal-worthy chart. https://charts.quesma.com/

I've been working on an alternative to JSON called XferLang, and along with that a "CLI construction kit" that will let the user create a CLI for interacting with RESTful APIs (and, eventually, more). https://github.com/paulmooreparks/Xfer https://github.com/paulmooreparks/Xfer/tree/master/ParksComp...

Seems interesting tough more complicated. In json you can't have multi line strings? Does your format supports it?

I am sharing what I learnt building electric cars. On YouTube: https://youtube.com/@foxev-content In a learning app: https://foxev.io/academy/ On a physical board where people can explore electric car tech on their desk: https://foxev.io/ev-mastermind-kit/ Backstory: from 2018-2023 I converted London taxis to be electric and built three prototypes. We also raised £300k and were featured in The Guardian. I have a day-…

I really love the concept of the mastermind kit. An experimentation product that's geared to learning about a specific niche.

I have been curating a gaming newsletter for a little over 5 years now called The Gaming Pub - https://thegamingpub.com/

This year, I started my first original content, Unmuted, which is a series of interviews with regular gamers about how gaming is part of their lives and their gaming habits. It's going pretty good so far with 2 interviews done. This is the latest one: https://www.thegamingpub.com/features/unmuted-002-mateus-kar...

The hardest part is sourcing the people to be interviewed.

I dusted off an old app (2012 or so) that I wrote for me and my girlfriend who are in a long-distance relationship which I call "Date Night Movie Player". It needs updates and she mentioned that she missed using it. Basically it lets two people sync watching a video/movie together, while chatting in a side transparent overlay and has a remote control with interesting buttons like timed "beer break", "bathroom break",…

I would 100% pay for this as a big movie fan and living away from my gf

I'm working on a tool specifically for viewing log files, it started when I wanted to open logcat files and have filtering but I couldn't really do that with a lightweight tool, Wireshark works well and I found a cool tool called lognote. so I started making my own, and I wanted to display things different ways and make it easy to add features. it's still a work in progress but I'm proud of it so far

I'm working on pure.md[1], which lets your scripts, APIs, apps, agents, etc reliably access web content in markdown format. Simply prefix any URL with `pure.md/` and you get the unblocked markdown content of that webpage. It avoids bot detection and renders JavaScript-heavy websites, and can convert HTML, PDFs, images, and more into pure markdown. pure.md acts as a global caching layer between LLMs and web content.

Love the recursion redirect at pure.md/pure.md

You found the easter egg!

I made Periplus (https://periplus.app), a new interface for exploring and learning with LLMs.

It generates interconnected learning documents, a bit like personalized wiki articles. Features include courses on any topic, generative flashcards for spaced repetition (think Anki), as well as a chat alongside each document.

Would love to hear your feedback!
