I've been building an email archiving system [1] which ingests emails sent by a company to it's customers. The hypothesis is that this data is largely un-indexed and once it's indexed, it can be really valuable tool for market insights.

#892Building a tiny ~€50k mountain cabin in the mountains of Cyprus that I hope to Airbnb to then get a retired visa and move to Cape Town.
But pouring my soul into building Afterhours (afths.com); Duolingo for life skills (financial independence, building muscle, writing well, parenting etc)

#894I'm working on Cali Challenge. A calisthenics workout app with a daily challenge that gradually increases in difficulty. It guides you through the different progression levels of core calisthenics moves like push-ups, pull-ups, and dips.
This is a cool idea; like to give it a try!
Thanks! I'll pop you a DM on here when I've got it up on the app stores.

#895Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would love to do something similar. Have you written about the technicals/set up somewhere?
Not yet as I’m still finessing it to her needs. She has a problem getting rid of thumb sucking, and finally asked for a fairy tale with a thumb sucking princess who eventually stops sucking her thumb lol. It’s a fun activity and also letting me learn about LLMs.
We've used them to generate stories about our kids and their favourite characters, too. It's a great use case — your approach sounds excellent. Good luck to you!

#896Working on getting my life back together. I've been more or less sick for the most of Q1/25. Always some cold, coughing, sometimes worse. Went to work nevertheless most of the time (stupid, I know), because... I don't know. Guess I think work is more important because it gives me the feeling of being good at something and worth it. Didn't take much care about eathing healthy, getting my gym routine done or even enoug…
thank you for sharing this, as someone going through a rough Q1 too, it's nice to hold this feeling with someone else across the universe as well. Onwards and upwards.
You're welcome. Would have loved to tell something more positive.

Going to work while sick exposes everyone there to whatever you have. That’s a very careless act.
Yes, that's true, not very responsible, nothing to argue about.

#898Not a coding project, but I have been writing a sci-fi novel about a world where time goes backwards and forwards. It has some interesting history in it too. I'm looking for beta readers.
got a link?

#899I've used Notational Velocity for years, but couldn't get a working binary on latest MacOS/Chips and the newer variants I found seem to miss the mark on what made Notational Velocity great (imo).
So I'm working on an electron version[1] that has what I remember of the core UX. I wasn't the best user of NV – I'm sure it had features that I didn't use. If there are features that it had that you used, I'd certainly like to be aware of them.

#900I have recently started working on a swi-prolog library for unit aware arithmetic[1].
It is still very bare bone (especially in documentation), but I started writing some examples[2] to showcase the library.
It is essentially a port of the mp-units[3] library in c++.
It was a lot of fun, and I found prolog especially well suited for manipulating symbolic representation of units and quantities.
