https://www.carboninterface.com ----- Carbon Interface is an API to generate carbon emissions estimates. Right now my API can calculate emissions for flights, driving, shipping and electricity generation. In addition to making the estimates more robust, I am working on having the algorithms behind the estimates certified by international bodies to increase the trust of my API.

This is really cool, but limiting to the US for electricity is obviously not great. What plans do you have to expand outside the us/let us provide our own mixes? It would be interesting for example to show savings that could be achieved by switching from your current providers "mix" to self provided solar

I'm working on better code review for GitHub.

If you're part of a small team that writes code on GitHub but isn't satisfied with their code review tools, send me an email: sam [at] habosa [dot] com

We're in very early Alpha but definitely ready for some more early adopters.

I'm working on a language optimized for solving programming challenges as quickly as possible. That is, I'm not optimizing for execution time , I'm optimizing for time between reading the problem statement and having a working solution . As far as I'm aware, there aren't any existing languages in this space. There are plenty of "code golf" languages, which optimize for shortest finished program , but that's slightly…

I've worked on a few similar projects, and in this case I'd recommend trying to write your syntax however you want, but implementing it as a transpiler to Python.

That way you always have access to the Python libraries, for competitions where you need to show your code it'll be easier, and there are already a lot of optimisations.

That said if you're primarily doing this for fun- go wild with the implementation.

I'm creating a course for Hotwire. I'll be explaining the concepts of Hotwire and then use many example to show Turbo and Stimulus work. At the end, I will deconstruct some parts of hey.com and show how it works.

No website yet but you can follow me on twitter.com/n4cr if you're interested for the release.

Another project is https://speqt.co where it helps you automate fetching digital invoices from your SaaS providers.

Hi, I am working on this project, "linkish" is a bookmark manager which embeds audio, video and text from your saved links to view in a dashboard organized with tags and nested collections. The browser extension also comes with a URL shortener and persistent web page text highlighter which syncs highlighted text between different browsers and your dashboard.

A macOS app to quickly create iOS apps and generate their SwiftUI code: https://purecreek.com/vulcan I released the MVP in November, which only allowed structuring the navigation of an app. Since then, I released incremental updates adding more and more content, covering the most common iOS UIs. The idea is to get it to be a full-fledged editor, but not as complex as to lose its initial purpose of creating apps quick…

Thank you. This is really needed. Have you considered having community supplied component library? Also have you considered premium elements that are richly documented? The official Apple docs are poor so it would definitely be worth a premium to get access. The vast majority of iOS development is the same stuff over and over with slightly different colours or backgrounds or effects. If you could get navigation, onboarding/login/password reset screens, maps, api queries bound to components, you’d have 80% of the app and developers could instead focus on the critical bits that add real business value. I’ll definitely follow your project.

SQL anyone? High level language, immediate feedback mostly, does the low level optimisation for you, you can performance tune with indices where needed... :)

An app to help couples learn each other's languages ( https://learncoupling.com ) My wife is Chinese, and I've been learning Cantonese and Mandarin off-and-on on my own for years. For many reasons, I recognize it's extremely difficult to make it work to acquire a language with the help of a romantic partner. I even had a friend who's wife was a doctorate in French language education but completely failed to use her a…

Wow thanks ! It's really the perfect app that I was looking for !
