I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge. It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree. This is all generated on-the-fl…

Nice work! Well done.

A new CI/CD platform. Local CLI (run without git push), remote debugger, automatic content-based caching, DAG-based definition, and dynamic tasks. It’s taken a lot of work to build it, but I’m really excited about how well it’s working. https://rwx.com/mint

I love Captain! I would have been over the moon to see this project ~1 year ago when I was porting our CI away from Circle CI.

Still working on https://exist.io , a platform for quantifying and tracking data about your life. We've been around for about a decade now and seen many competitors come and go — this niche is definitely not at the peak of the hype cycle any more. On the other hand, Apple Watches have normalised tracking body stats like activity (and sleep to a degree), and yet we think there's still so much more that can be done wit…

Nice this looks similar to https://futureland.tv

I'm working on a web app that helps you discover books, movies, TV shows, video games, and songs that you'll like. The app makes it super easy to describe what you're looking for and then gives you a unique set of 10 suggestions on each run. It's the first solo project I've done in many years and I'm having a great time learning. I've also been able to get some great recommendations for myself and it's fun to use! ht…

This is amazing, bookmarked and will try and use it to discover some new artists.

It seems to reverse the song/artist names occasionally. For example I've got a recommendation of 'Russian Circles' by Harper Lewis, but it should be 'Harper Lewis' by Russian Circles.

It is also telling me the song 'Ten Billion People' is by As I Watch You From Afar (who have a song called '7 Billion People all Alive at Once'), however it's from Explosions in the Sky.

Removing duplicate annotations from the Kindle clippings.txt file.

I like to annotate (highlight and create notes) when I read on my Kindle, and then I take those annotations and throw them into Obsidian. The issue is that if you ever mess up a highlight or note and then delete it, it doesn't actually get removed from the Kindle clippings file. So this project will remove all of the "incorrect" clippings.

I have the de-duplication algorithm working extremely well and right now I'm working on creating the web app using python/django

I've been working on a kind of strategy game called Fall of an Empire ( https://fallofanempiregame.com ), it's a bit like a mix between Crusader Kings, Total War, Mount and Blade type games (just the overworld, not the battles), but rather than expanding you're trying to prevent an empire from collapsing. It's a ton of work, especially with the number of systems - you've got combat, resource management, settlement de…
