I had a daughter last week. Lots of work, but the ROI is amazing!

#842I'm working on iOS app that lets you TRANSLATE WITH YOUR FINGER ;) It works for printed text: you just point at the word with your finger (yes, right in the book), point your phone camera and see the translation.
Here is the demo: https://booktopus.com/yc_demo.mp4
On the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1490757013?pt=12010...
Currently we support only Oxford explanatory dictionary & english-russian dictionary, but adding more languages soon

#843https://host.io - an API to get domain name metadata (scraped web content, backlinks, redirects, dns data, ranking information and more). See https://host.io/google.com for an example. We've been building out the infrastructure for a while (scrape all domains monthly, resolve all domains, progress the data etc), but have only recently launched the API (see htttps://host.io/docs). We'll soon be releasing a Top 10M Ran…
Where are you getting the link data from? Common crawl? 3rd party?
Same question for ranking info, assume you're not scraping yourself and using some like D4SEO?

#844Made a collaborative "corona stock" spreadsheet[1]. Now feel like a great opportunity to buy some "cheaper" stocks that could make great returns in the future. Also helps to have better perspective of my "limited" vision of the market. [1] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bBsJnUIWg8BbET-h3oKN...

#845I am not a trained fabricator nor a certified welder but I’m starting a turbo manifold for a non-turbo car and I’m trying to avoid learned mistakes from other DIYers. We’ll see how it goes, luckily I get to work from home this week.

#846I wrote this tool (started on Thursday) called Doodle that is designed to give kids a quick drawing canvas. It's a super simple app that I made for my son who kept drawing over all of my Apple notes. You can draw, then press the button in the top right to quickly erase your drawing (Like an Etch A Sketch). Someone nerd-sniped me and I added in the ability to record a video as well. Technically , you could use it to d…
Very cool my kid loves doodling on my iPad but always accidentally clicks some part of another app

#847I'm working on a self-hosted app to track family history and stories. I've got photos going back to the 20s and my dad seems to have so many stories I want to capture around them. I also had an uncle pass recently and finding photos of him for the services was so manual. I'd love to have some photo-tagging of sorts. Perhaps allow family to upload their stash of photos. It's also giving me a fun chance to dive deeper…
Want this! How can I help

#848I'm finally trying to scratch my own itch and develop something I want (need). I run an auto detailing shop and am desperate for a web app to manage scheduling, quoting, and more. Initially the project was going to be a price comparer for detailing supplies but I decided to pivot. And I know there's other scheduling apps out there but none fit exactly what I needed.
With the whole pandemic going on my business has died off but on the bright side I get more development time.
Should be live shortly. Having trouble deploying the landing page. https://detailingarsenal.com

#850An email sandboxing and testing application called MailSpons: https://mailspons.com/
Primarily, it allows developers to set up fake inboxes for their local development environments.
The only thing you have to do is change the SMTP settings of your local environment and then all mails will be caught by MailSpons.
The next step is to automate end-to-end testing of applications by reading the sent emails via the API. I am currently writing the documentation for that.
Please don't be put off by the homepage. I, a developer, "designed" it ;)
