A friend of mine she is a professional beach volley ball player. She said there is not enough information on the internet about Women Beach Volleyball. No leagues or players information, so I have started working on https://wwbv.org for Women Beach Volleyball data, players, games, tours, etc'. I never finished though.

For @martinsrna and I, newsletters became the go-to source for learning from domain experts like Packy McCormick who writes Not Boring, Lenny Rachitsky, or Stratechery’s Ben Thompson.

But we think there should be a better reading and learning experience that also helps with the newsletter fatigue so we started working on a newsletter reader as a side project.

We spent the past few weeks validating the idea, spoke with over 20 potential users to better understand the problem and have a clickable prototype in Figma.

Right now, we’re looking for someone who could help us build the first MVP. If you’re looking to get involved with a side project and any of this resonates with you, we'd love to chat!

A macOS Node.js module/app that generates a random Google Street View desktop wallpaper.

Note: I have not ran this code for some months now, but last time I ran it, it worked OK.

I had a lot of fun building it and reverse-engineering the Google street view API was a good challenge. Overall, it was quite a bit of work.

(This is my first post here, but I read this on Hacker news newsletter and thought I'd share.)

I built a quiz that loads when Google Analytics is loading (I've spent a lot of time waiting) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/buffer-buddy/ehngg... Added a payment system to buy more trivia but no one used it and the Google Chrome payments system is about to be decommissioned. Plan on making all content free but barely bothered lol

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting! Can you share the code/run on-premise server? I'm interested for a different (language) church. I started to try GitHub pages to share lyrics, but failed to add all songs I planned.

Here's the Repo: https://github.com/lytedev/lyric_screen

Thanks!

Youtube video zapper: https://zapper.video/

Do you miss zapping through channels like back in the day, and ending up on a random documentary about ants in the amazon rainforest, zap again, you're in the middle of a Spice Girls music video?

The channels are generated by aggregating lists of finely tuned youtube search results, and some randomness.

I haven't touched the code in a few months but it works well enough, let me know what you think and also let me know which channels you would like added. Thx!
