#862A language learning app that combines Anki like spaced repetition with language learning ai tutor. https://vocabuo.com
This is an awesome idea. Traditional use of anki (i.e. med school) is super helpful for memorizing and retaining a vast amount of information making it especially great for recall when solicited on a test or irl. Have you found the ai component to help with learning the meaning of a word or phrase in various contexts?

That looks really cool!

#864https://CodePeer.com - An AI-assisted code review platform that manages the lifecycle of a PR. We make sure everyone knows whose turn it is, we show you only what needs to be reviewed, and all historical edits and comments are intelligently presented. We say “AI-assisted” because it’s a human-first approach to design - that said, you can use AI to do everything from making simple code suggestions to executing the entire review for you.

#865I am working on a private transportation service. Think Uber, but in a small market. We have an aging population, poor public transportation and some of the bumpiest roads you can find in the West. It will fill a void. Not my idea, though. Through our local geek community, I met this taxi driver who pitched his app idea. He convinced a few other drivers to pay a small fee to kickstart the project. Then he convinced m…
I am intrigued by the concept of an open source Uber equivalent. I was involved early in a few rideshare app concepts before Uber came to market and it was surprisingly complicated. You have the technical challenges combined with being a "market maker" for both riders and drivers. It's possible but hard.

Can you explain some of the difficult parts? I'd think it would be fairly straight-forward. Is the technical challenge of market making the hard part? or getting enough users on the app to actually make a market?

#866I'm working on a 3D infinite canvas of text, focusing on code. Runs on iPhone, iPad, macOS so they can all act as separate viewports into a space. You can point the app at a repository, download a copy locally, instantly render the entire repository into space in less than a second in most cases, and then fly around and search for text. I just got an optimization working for larger files and it's kinda fun how much e…
do you have the iOS app published?
Not yet, but I was planning on putting up at least a beta within the next few days or so. Most of the features about editing, searching, colorizing, syntax analysis, etc., are in some almost-finished stated or another, but I'd love to publish something for people to play with! If you drop a line to my email on GitHub, I can make sure to add you to the beta, or at least send ya a link when it's up =)

#867I recently started using X (Twitter), and got annoyed with my daily new followers that were obviously bots.
I made a Chrome Extension to automate the bot follower removal: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/x-bot-remover/aohkh...
I suspect these bots are being used to boost certain content controlled by their owners, so definitely not good to leave them alone.

#868I built 3 electric cars from 2018 to 2023 and drove them 20k miles. My own firmware and controllers, with an https://openinverter.org motor controller Now I release my knowledge in bite-sized chunks on my new YouTube channel to help others: What's a battery management system? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QsMoCrSTYc What is the C-Rate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDu1fRtKfsA What is battery balancing? https://…
I still have my fingers crossed that one day someone will build an electric drivetrain for a very common engine design (akin to how people put bigger engines from bolt compatible vehicles into smaller ones so they go faster), and for iconic vehicles so that we can keep them on the road. There are plenty of collectible cars out there that already lack matching serial numbers. Swapping the engine on those is no great s…

#869I'm working on a self-hostable replacement for Google Timeline, which is being discontinued. It includes a web app to view my timeline and an Android app to send tracking pings to the server. It also includes an import function for exports of your Google Timeline data so that your historical data from that can be integrated as well. I'm planning on open-sourcing both the web app and the POC Android app early next mon…
Is there a repo we can follow for this?
