Concise Encoding: https://concise-encoding.org The friendly data format for human and machine. Think JSON, but with 1:1 compatible twin binary and text formats and rich type support. * Edit text, transmit binary. Humans love text. Machines love binary. With Concise Encoding, conversion is 1:1 and seamless. * Rich type support. Boolean, integer, float, string, bytes, time, URI, UUID, list, map, markup, metadata, comme…

My game plans to build an encoding for JSON that has schema that shows structure, name, and type. So, we would transmit a schema ID that maps to an in-memory schema. Do you have any plans for something like this? If so, we could work together.

I started out as a software engineer, but have spent the 8 years building and running a custom software development agency, which was acquired last year by a larger company. I am now looking to help developers who want to start a software agency themselves, so have created Dev to Agency where I am writing about the lessons and insights I learned. https://www.devtoagency.com

I tried to dm you, but you disabled dm on twitter. Somehow we have almost same path, running an agency at the moment with 9 ppl :-)

Oh really, weird.. Do you follow me? whats your twitter I will reach out.

Journal Prompts, get constant prompts delivered to your inbox, to help you make the journaling habit stick! https://sendfox.com/journal-prompts I'm still in validation step, wanted to know if people are interested in such service before I jump in to development. Honestly I just wanted to dive into development and dealing with code, but if I want a proper product I need to validate it first and I need to deal with peo…

I signed up, this is really interesting. I have been working on a journalling pwa ( https://zenjournal.org/ - I need to change the name). The daily template is configurable, but it has been a week and I am already bored of my default template.

Thanks!

Wish you all the best in your app, I think a touch of css would change it drastically (I'm sure it's on your list)

I built a tool to help realtors easily create slideshows from still photos without any technical knowledge.

It hasn't really gotten a lot of traction and there are probably other markets where this might be useful, but I've been so busy with other stuff lately.

I build a tool for residents at care homes to find pen pals around the world.

I didn't try to get care homes on board so the project basically died upon launch. Sometimes I think about trying to go for it or make it just a general pen pal service instead...

https://blogline.co I wrote this during the first lockdown mainly because I wanted to write some fresh code in the evenings, but also because I was dissatisfied with Wordpress, Tumblr, Posthaven and static sites, having tried all of them over the years for my blogs. A blog app is literally every web framework tutorial so it’s a bit embarrassing to show (“is that the best idea you’ve got?!”) but the funny thing is, I…

What are the shortcomings of Wordpress, Tumblr etc and how did you address them? Thanks
