I'm working on a solution to the age-old problem of tracking my food intake. Every app I have every tried from the many dozens on the market has not met my need of a low friction simple UI tool, so I've built it myself. I've built Journable, a simple & frictionless chat-based & photo-based calorie tracker. Just type in what you've eaten, in as much or as little detail as you can. Or type in what you did for exercise.…

I've wondered if a camera you "show" your groceries to as you unpack them would be enough to track incoming items accurately. Or a couple of cameras around the kitchen, with an ML setup that recognizes both incoming food items, and their use in cooking. Then it could give you notifications/calendar items on things expiring :)

how do you buy your groceries, I wonder if a solution that scans the receipts might be better lol

I'm still working on https://reciperium.com where people can write recipes with a custom language and create forks of other recipes and modify them. I'm currently working on supporting images on the recipes. I'm proud of having launched on producthunt and now trying to figure out how to attract more users

I like the idea of recipe-lang. Great you open sourced it!

Thanks!! Hopefully it can live beyond reciperium!

LookOutWindow.com , mapping the routes between airports, and showing points of interest along the route. I wanted a way to read about what I was flying over, and which worked offline. We have amazing views up there, but no idea what we are looking at.

Hebrew and Arabic words seem to be backwards on the map

I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much f…

When I shared this on Facebook Messenger, it didn't pull in anything more than the title, like a blurb about the site.

I think that's easy to implement, if you care.

I love this project.

In my 50k population town in Minnesota, I notice a lot of headlights, taillights, and turn signals are out. Our roads (outside of the Twin Cities) are often bumpy which causes vibration in the vehicles, leading to many bulbs failing. I drive a 21 year old Saab, and in my 2 years of owning it, I have replaced every single bulb in the exterior of the vehicle except a turn signal or two. I decided to create a mobile ser…

I live in San Francisco and a few blocks down the street from me is a street that always has a bunch of Saabs parked out on it. I don't know if it's one person that owns them or fixes them for others but I thought it was pretty random and interesting.

Probably someone repairs them and sells them.

For an individual, it can be easier to focus on one model. You get to use parts and knowledge from past cars.

There's many people doing this with certain models, like hardbody trucks, Jeep XJs, Honda civics

For me the most important issue that needs to be solved right now is the increasing urban sprawl and the car dependent neighborhoods. It causes social isolation. Maintaining infrastructure like roads and electricity, is causing a strain on the economy for local municipalities. Not to mention the disastrous effect car based transportation has on the environment. I am a fullstack developer living in Norway. Last year I…

I’m helping a YIMBY group in Austin, Texas. In the USA, we’ve tied the legal right of what you can build to the land. So, a housing shortage causes land prices to skyrocket. We need to break those connections (height limits, unit limits, floor area limits, etc.) to bring urban prices back to reasonable values.

Then, people who want denser, walkable, social neighborhoods can create them.

I do data analysis for the group, on land prices and politics. (E.g., campaign donors). If anyone has questions, reach out to me at hackernews@mike.nahasmail.com

Myself, mind and body Everyday, I get up and cold plunge. I exercise twice a day. I eat carnivore diet. I do red light therapy. I drink a gallon of water. I read 10 pages out of two books. Sometimes I get a third exercise in. I use the sauna (20 minutes at 205F). I stand on a vibration plate for 10 minutes. I also play factorio.

My body is also something I constantly work on yet I can't help but read this in Patrick Bateman's voice.

I'm working on (yet another :)) key-value store. It's 99% educational project for me, no ambitions to create a startup or such, just a good enough project to try various technologies e.g. new protocols, kernel by-pass, libraries like SPDK or xnvme. Planning to go distributed as well, probably using Raft. Quite a good opportunity to sharpen low-level programming and design skills, work with profilers, doing benchmarking, and optimizing things. :)
