#822I am working on a handful of ADHD projects. Currently my biggest focus is my MUD Server I'm working on. Allows a developer to create a simple MUD game, (locations, items, combat), but all NPCs are actually just LLM controlled MUD clients. Uses Server-Sent Events for the client + HTTP post for sending actions. Not a traditional direct TELNET style MUD server, but works well in the modern world. Definitely not 100% han…
Lately, I have been considering creating my own as a "something to do in my downtime" project, using Coffee or Evennia, but if you're creating a full server environment that makes rolling out a playable world more convenient, sign me up.

#823This all started when I was first learning the language and was having a lot of trouble understanding different dialects, I want to make sure this is not a problem for future learners!
It's my first major project so it has been quite the learning experience, especially when it comes to infrastructure/hosting. The project is still pretty early on but I hope to show it off soon.

#824I got tired of trying to find a good MP3 player that just worked so I created a website to function as an online MP3 player. I started adding sources for content and ended up supporting YouTube, Spotify, Twitch, Instagram, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Rumble, WSHH, Facebook and X. So now you can create playlists from all of those sources with features you would find on any decent MP3 player such as loop, repeat, etc. I also dr…

#825I’m also working on the next version of HacKit, a macOS Hacker News reader focused on simplicity, performance and adherence to macOS design language. It’s already available on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1549557075 and further information can be found here: https://github.com/anosidium/HacKit-Feedback-And-Support.
I’d be delighted to hear any feedback, suggestions, or ideas — or simply to connect with others working on Apple platform development.

#827It’s offline-first and totally local (no cloud, no tracking). You just drop in your accomplishments, metrics, or files as you go, and later it helps you summarize them (ML model that runs locally) for performance reviews, promotions, or interviews.
Basically built it because I got tired of trying to reconstruct a year’s worth of work from Slack and Jira the night before review time.
It’s a one-time $0.99 download for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Curious if others have tried building similar “career memory” tools or have thoughts on what’s missing.
Would love feedback from people who’ve struggled to keep track of their work accomplishments or prep for performance reviews!

#828Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year, PlasticList found plastic chemicals in 86% of tested foods—including 100% of baby foods they tested. Around the same time, the EU lowered its “safe” BPA limit by 20,000×, while the FDA still allows levels roughly 100× higher than Europe’s new standard. That seemed solvable. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent lab testing of the specific p…
Some testing has been done on https://labdoor.com/ where they basically fund the testing with affiliate links, which I think could be another revenue source for your site. I did contact them in January and they said they would add the brands I requested to the list, it's just not crowdsourced the same way your site is. They received some form of backing from Mark Cuban [4].
(edit) To make this more clear - If you are looking for expansion or making it a little wider, allowing users to request other types of testing besides the plastics would be cool.

#830One man project for 4 years: https://kastanj.ch/ Most recipes are a failure for beginners on the first try. I aim to make recipes bulletproof so anyone can pick up any recipe and it will just work. The goal is to make the best recipe app ever. On a technical level recipes are built as graphs and assembled on demand. This makes multilanguage support easy, any recipe can use any unit imaginable, blind people could have…
I admire the dedication and love to idea / how much you've thought it trough from the app / logic side. From the marketing side...
