FreeBSD 15.0. Rather depressingly, almost everything I said two months ago is still true: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45419134 But I'm hoping to have it out by the first week of December.

Thank you for your hard work. I don’t have a lot of time right now but would love to try to contribute to FreeBSD early next year

I'm working on a paragliding track visualizer: https://skyviz.io - I started it just for myself, then it kind of got out of control, and now I'm spending wayyy to much time on it After many years of working on enterprise crud apps, it's so refreshing to actually use some maths and 3d programming again :D But now it seems the the only way forward to make more out of the product is by doing marketing... Something that is absolutely NOT my area of expertise nor interest

I'm working on Flavia, an ultra-low latency voice AI data analyst that can join your meetings. You can throw in data(csv's, postgres db's, bigquery, posthog analytics for now) and you just talk and ask questions. Using cerebras(2000 tokens per second) and very low latency sandboxes on the fly, you can get back charts/tables/analysis in under 1 second. (excluding time of the actual SQL query if you are doing bigquery)…

Hey! I have a business inquiry for you but I don't see a contact anywhere on your website. Is there a place I can reach you? Thank you!

I recently launched this satellite imagery tool.

https://satellitemine.com/

I work as a civil engineer in the mining industry and it can be troublesome to download satellite imagery for a particular date and cloud index. Yes, Google Earth Engine and QGIS plugins exist, but they are slow and confusing to jump back into after a period of time. SatelliteMine is simple to use and any images of your area of interest is saved to your account and can be downloaded as a geotiff.

Currently free to use with a cloud storage capped at 512MB per account. Paid plans for greater storage requirements will be provided if the demand is there. Any feedback is welcomed :)

I recently launched a daily word puzzle! https://tiledwords.com It’s inspired by tile placement board games like Patchwork and crosswords. You rotate and move tiles to rebuild a broken crossword. It’s free, web based, and responsive. I currently have several hundred daily players and growing. My wife and I create the puzzles and I’m continuing to fix bugs and add new features. I just launched a ”community puzzle” fea…

This is really well made! As someone who has built daily puzzle games (ex. sidewords.ca, kickoffleague.com, and just today fivefold.ca), I appreciate the effort it takes to make something that polished! It plays really well on mobile, which is tricky, especially when you’ve got a grid as big as yours.

I'm starting a project soon, with the clear idea that:

- I will not consider it feature-complete

- It might be a waste of time if the performance isn't what I imagined

Basically, I have a pain point with pytest being a bit slow. Nim and Rust (and other languages) have ways to transpile Python code into the other language. I know some Rust tools to run the tests, but they have some differences from pytest.

My idea is to have a runner that transpiles the code to either Nim or Rust, compiles it, and runs the compiled tests. Test discovery for sure would improve, but I have no idea at all if the compile + run time would be smaller than just running pytest normally. There are a lot of challenges in this project, so I'll probably use it to learn another language and some new skills, instead of building something aiming to be usable out there.

Currently working on a take on Pokémon GO + Pokémon Snap but for birding. The goal is to explore your neighborhood, find birds, take good photos of them all. Next month, I'll be doing an event to find a rare bird, excited to see how it goes! It's still a small closed alpha, if anyone is interested: https://testers.birdlego.com Here is a rough trailer of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVpR8aafFjI

I'd be careful with the name and the way you're describing it, as Nintendo are notoriously litigious. Best of luck with the project, though!
