Dance calendar (Django app, with some AlpineJS/HTMX). Approximately 80 admin pages + 20 end user views + 100 admin views. 2M page loads/month during the summertime. This is in production. For the dance calendar, support site with good first-line AI support based on FAQ answers. Ad management platform for the dance calendar. Sites like this have specific requirements for placing ads that are not well supported by AdSe…

Do you have a link to share of the app?

Tinder To Decide What To Eat Tonight [0]. Or: Meal Planner For Couples. It started as a web app for us, but more ppl asked. So I turned it into an app. Basically a meal planner / recipe manager for families and couples. [0] https://whatdinner.com/

Have similar personal app except that it is for grocery list. It starts with the meals desired and once selected, give you the grocery list of what to get.

Working on https://shepherd.com/ and trying to help readers find books they will LOVE (not just like). In a few days, launching user accounts + our first user feature using our new Book DNA review system that is trying to help narrow in on the type of books you love and why. The goal is to serve better recommendations going forward and get more people excited about reading. It is fun :)

Cool website, and cool domain. What is the difference between this and Goodreads?

Well, for one, Goodreads is owned by Amazon so I expect them to mostly show me things Amazon Audible/Kindle wants to get money for right now.

https://longhaul.fitness/ I'm working on an exercise database and a strength training app. Two years ago I tore my meniscus and had to go through physical therapy. The experience was eye-opening! Before PT, I thought I was relatively fit because I wasn't overweight, walked a bit, and went to yoga 1-2 times a week. At PT, the therapists basically told me, "You tore your meniscus because you're weak." I had just turned…

If you haven't heard of exrx.net, I strongly suggest you check them out. Their exercise database is excellent, and they have some of best research exercise advice sprinkled throughout their website.

I've been working on https://saasufy.com/ - No-code/low-code serverless platform for building web applications. The idea is that if you're a highly experienced senior developer, it should feel oddly familiar. It aims to address every possible concern that a senior developer might have when building a web application. Avoiding footguns is one of the core principles behind it. It aims to strike the ideal balance betwee…

Is the name intentional? (French, "ça suffit", "that's enough").

exrx.net is such a good resource. Thanks for boosting it.

If I were really focused on hypertrophy, I think I'd use exrx.net more. The site does an amazing job detailing ~41 muscles and exercises to activate those muscles.

For me, I will not be competing in body building competitions (Never say never!). I mostly just want to be able to lift a kid, piece of furniture, etc. without getting hurt. I'm not too particular if I'm working my "gastrocnemius"[1] or "soleus"[2]. I'm okay with working out my "calves" and calling it a day. For better and worse, I've condensed the Long Haul Fitness database to focus on 21 simpler muscle groups that are more approachable for gym mortals.

Open source doorbell camera software running on Raspberry Pi Zero. Face recognition and motion detection already built-in, so I've set it up so that I get a message on element when someone is at the door and a video of any motion longer than 5 seconds. Not fully optimized yet.

Do you have a link to the software, got a raspberry lying around mind use it for that? Is it based on OpenCV?

A vscode extension that aims to be "vim for code' meaning that it has first class motions for programming concepts like functions, arguments, etc. quick demo: https://youtu.be/owuuFxDBQh4?si=tqYi-RqvFQa6kI8h

Just saw the video, looks cool. multi language support would also be awesome. Nice work. all the best.

In theory it should work for many languages with minimal support. In practice I've done some testing with typescript, Rust and Go and it largely works.

Started my masters at Georgia Tech [1] this summer. Still in the first semester, but really enjoying so far. Just not much spare time on nights and weekends, but it helped me cut down the time spent on social/news/etc. [1] https://omscs.gatech.edu/

nice, i first heard about OMSCS through hackernews and finished the program 2 years ago.
