Small notes/link manager that will be a standalone page and, hopefully, a browser extension. Sometimes I find myself hoping I could have a list of the links/documents I’m working on at the moment on my New Tab page, so I’m making one. It’s mostly a reason to learn Elm.

#962I’m building a platform to connect volunteers with those in need during this global pandemic. It should go live in a few days on https://pandemicvolunteers.org It will start with “Hospital Support Staff” working under nurses formed from SARS-CoV-2 immune volunteers.
I was hacking a low code Volunteer management system.

#963I'm working on a self-hosted app to track family history and stories. I've got photos going back to the 20s and my dad seems to have so many stories I want to capture around them. I also had an uncle pass recently and finding photos of him for the services was so manual. I'd love to have some photo-tagging of sorts. Perhaps allow family to upload their stash of photos. It's also giving me a fun chance to dive deeper…

#964I'm making a new tool for writers. With it, you'll be able to write your essays on "layers" The problem? Tweets are easier to read than long-form essays, as they require less time commitment. If the content is not good on a long-form article, you'll find out way too late. With this tool I'm developing: Layer 1 is the shortest version of your essay, the 1 min read — like a tweet. The idea boiled down to the shortest v…
I've built something like this called "stretchtext" 3 years ago :)
Here is the demo (use the slider displayed after the first blockquote in the article) https://blog.fgribreau.com/2014/05/fr-stretchtext-retour-sur... or click on "[+]" to go deeper.

#966I’m working on a tool that allows developers to record and playback interactive, guided walkthroughs of a codebase, directly from their editor. It’s called CodeTour, and it’s currently available as a VS Code extension: https://aka.ms/codetour . I built it because I frequently find myself looking to onboard (or “reboard”) to a project, and not knowing exactly where to start. After speaking to a bunch of other develope…
Why can't you create a documentation file which explains the code and how to get started. Tell me an idea more simple than this

#967I and a friend are validating an idea: A product to track your (and competitor) Shopify app ranking and reviews. If you'd like to help, please fill this survey. It will only take 2 minutes. Thanks in advance!

#969I am working on https://dev.events – an ad-free, open-source listing of developer conferences, meet-ups, and training.
I missed a listing with minimalist design, iCal support, RSS feeds, so I built it myself. You even get sweet karma points for contributing events :)

#970I'm working on a web application to help kids in the Netherlands learn basic math: https://elkedagrekenen.nl/
I'm working together with my son's teacher, who is also working at a local school. It's for kids that might not have the privilege of getting private lessons. I'm a backend developer, but I fell in love with Elm and built the site entirely with it. I host it on GCP.
I'd like to build a template system to support multiple languages, but I'm not sure the so-called calculation strategies kids in the Netherlands learn are the same for kids in other countries.
If you have kids in primary school: please give it a try and let me know what you think?
