When someone dies, you don't get even one extra second to access the documents and information they meant to share it with you. Trying to fix this problem with Eternal Vault. Link: https://eternalvault.app

Looks interesting, I have one question about the pricing and a main button on the home screen, it says "Protect your family (free forever)" and yet there is a monthly fee (which makes sense of course). What does the free forever bit mean?

I’m building an open-source tool called kafy, which is a kubectl-style cli for Kafka. It’s meant to handle all Kafka use cases and some basic AWK-like operations for inspecting topics, brokers, and consumer groups.

The tool is free and open-source, so anyone can use it for their own Kafka clusters. It’s very much a “crappy but functional” project at this stage — nothing fancy, just a practical CLI for certain tasks.

You can find it here: https://github.com/KLogicHQ/kafy

I have never written code before but I have been learning vibe coding for the past few months.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a platform where we share our repos and projects that was vibe-coded. Somewhere we can reflect on our experiences and share what we have learnt. No payments, or profit seeking behavior.

In my experience, the hardest part of vibe coding is getting through the initial hurdles every time I use a new tool. Whats worse is that it seem to be so obvious what I should of done in retrospect, like understanding the implications of using an sql database vs aws redmi.

I think this is where a platform could come in to aid us vibe-coders in sharing projects for free and learning from others mistakes, like the early silicon valley days. It might be a dumb one, but my thesis is that through sharing our experiments and experiences we can drastically reduce the learning curve for new programmers. I think be extremely beneficial for people with no prior experience, especially as we move to more agentified development.

But please let me know your thoughts and if anyone would be interested in working on this with me.

www.longevity-tools.com Interpret your bloodwork for free with a precision of a longevity clinic. You can calculate your biological age based on the best bioage calculators.

(you could fix your link so it's clickable) 1. thanks for building this. I will get back on my iron deficiency diet. I now understand it takes over 7 weeks to reliably fix 2. when doing data input, I'm lazy, especially for the blood age calc. So my process is: upload list + my blood results to the LLM and spit out the list of values I need (terrible privacy job right here for me) but anyway, I wonder if you could off…

thank you for your kind words and good feedback.

importing labs is something I think about a lot and I think the solution will be something along the lines of what you suggested. Since I need to keep 100% privacy which I publicly promise.

My nights and weekends project at the moment is a virtual staging tool for real estate agents.

I'm focusing on the South African market (I know a bunch of agents and I've noticed an increase of very obviously ChatGPT generated images on property listing websites)

My hope is that I can own a nice slice of the listing marketing workflow:

- Creating great, but realistic staging images for listing websites - Improve property descriptions and copy

There is some early interest from agents, hoping to start marketing properly this week!

I’ll update this comment in the morning when I’m not tired and I actually have something on GitHub, but I’ve been vibe coding a rails engine (don’t worry, I know how to build things in rails, I’m just time poor with a job and kids) that is a sophisticated rss feed subscription engine. Has niceties like adaptive polling based on posting frequency, user managed auto scraping capabilities if the feed doesn’t provide the full content, and all sorts of other nice features. I have a couple other project ideas that are based on a foundation of ingesting rss content at scale so I’ve been meaning to build this for years, and AI coding tools finally make this possible because otherwise this would have taken me months

I’m building a small side project called https://www.localgeoguessr.com/ — a fun geography game that tests how well you know your local area. It’s still in a very early stage, not polished yet, but it’s somewhat playable. The idea is to eventually add more categories like “restaurants,” “theaters,” “roads,” etc., so you can play based on local themes. I’d love to hear your thoughts - any feedback on what you’d like t…

Nice idea.

Bug: I tried in my area in the Canary Islands and all the places were off, sometimes in the middle of nowhere or even in the sea.

Also, in small villages, we don't necessarily have a town hall, a library, etc (within selected radius), but the game asked to pin these.

A couple of months ago, I saw a tweet from @awilkinson: “I just found out how much we pay for DocuSign and my jaw dropped. What's the best alternative?” Me being naive, I thought “how hard could would it actually be to build a free e-sign tool?” Turns out not that hard. In about a weekend, I built a UETA and ESIGN compliant tool. And it was free. And it cost me less than $50. Unlimited free e-sign. https://useinkless…

agree.com is free though
