I'm working on a tool to auto-label emails in Gmail (first) based on what you've labeled in the past. It pulls down up to 400 emails for each custom label and creates a custom model just for you, that will label new incoming email. For emails that are likely, but not certain to be a particular label, I use a 'Proposed/{label}' approach which lets you just archive them in Gmail, and it will detect that they've been ar…

Do you have this up in a repo?

I'm building a manually curated catalog of games made by the HN community. Currently the collection has data up to the end of 2022. The plan, of course, is to gather all data up to today and then keep updating the collection. You can browse the catalog at these addresses:

Made a partially open source event platform for Pickleball and Badminton in Asia. Apart from managing event attendance, reminders, waitlist, level restrictions, and calendar syncing, there is also a pretty thorough Event Manager built in. The event manager has a built-in ELO-style rating system designed for computer games and applies it to offline sports. You tap on the winning pair and it automatically calculates ne…

and when will you support real tennis?

Not sure how many people are playing real tennis these days. But for most older established sports there are existing communities and apps that service them which make it hard to penetrate. Whether it's tennis or real tennis, even with badminton I have a hard time convincing groups to use it. The software is provided as-is so if people use it then that's fine, but otherwise I'd mainly target the ones I actively organize around so that there is actual usage. There's also not much in it specific to any single sport so supporting real tennis, however obscure it is, is basically free from the software side.

Interesting! Can you share how hard it is to use the MS store for distribution? And is it worth it / does it bring in a good amount of business?

Hey,

I didn't really find the MS store to be hard to use, but it's for sure the weakest of the "app stores" when it comes to discoverability.

That said, it has become a bit better with Windows 11 and as time goes by Windows users are gradually starting to trust MS store apps a bit more.

Cheers

I'm working on https://bodge.app/ I'm calling it a "Micro Functions as a Service" platform. What it really is, is hosted Lua scripts that run in response to incoming HTTP requests to static URLs. It's basically my version of the old https://webscript.io/ (that site is mostly the same as it was as long as you ignore the added SEO spam on the homepage). I used to subscribe to webscript and I'd been constantly missing i…

Cool! This reminds of https://val.town

My first thought too!

Currently working on https://tinyZKP.com It's an API that allows zero-knowledge proofs to be generated in a streaming fashion, meaning ZKPs that use way less RAM than normal. The goal is to let people create ZKPs of any size on any device. ZKPs are very cool but have struggled to gain adoption due to the memory requirements. You usually need to pay for specialized hardware or massive server costs. Hoping to help fix…

This looks really interesting! Where would you suggest a beginner go to learn more about ZKPs and their applications?

I’d love to play with simple ZKP algos.
