#972Currently working on an open source Heroku / Fly.io / Render alternative: https://canine.sh Its built on top of Kubernetes, based on learnings I've had from previous experiences scaling infrastructure. If you look at the markup PaaS (Heroku, Fly, Render) applies to IaaS (AWS, Hetzner), it's on the order of 5-10x. But not having that, and trying to stitch together random AWS services is a huge PITA for a medium sized…
This is something I should use but am not at all knowledgeable about. One thing to consider as a feature is creating an llms.txt file that explains all the details so its consumable by an LLM

#973i've been working on a small saas product helping folks figure out how to manage their social media accounts when they die. yeah. pretty esoteric, but, i'm a bit stuck at this point on how i should grow it. i don't want to pay money for ads and i don't want to have to pseo stuff or try to "hack" a subreddit. https://deathnote.ai

#974I’ve got a side project going that’s a browser extension (starting with Safari + Sign in with Apple) intended to add a comment layer to the internet as a whole. I’m calling it Chaffiti ( https://chaffiti.com ). The idea is to enable a comment section on any webpage, right as you’re browsing. Viewing a Zillow listing? See what people are excited about with the property. Wonder what people think about a tourist attract…
I remember an IE toolbar that let you chat on any website back in the late 90s/early 00s.
Interesting. Hadn’t heard of any existing that far back. Do you know if they generated revenue at all? What was it called?

#976https://freesheet.io - My Tiny Sheet, I built a spreadsheet that runs inside your browser and saves data locally in localStorage. It is very good for small calculations and organized note taking. I have also added synchronization option to save data remotely. I am going to add also collaboration and more features.

#977I am working on an AI-powered fitness and food tracker that automatically logs your food based on the photo. One of the difficulties I had when going to the gym is keeping up and sharing macros weekly with my personal trainer. Manually logging food is a hassle and massive pain point - so my app, Eat n Snap attempts to solve this problem. You can also set weight and BMI goals and see your progress on a weekly basis. S…
I suppose you must know this already if you have done research on alternatives, but there are already a plethora of apps like this — Lifesum, Cal AI, MacroFactor, just to name a few. I'm curious what sets your app apart?
Good question! I have added better UX features like the ability to record a voice memo at the end of the day to automate the logging. It would be helpful for someone like a busy professional who is having a hard time to take time out of the day to log his food at every meal... So during his downtime, or before he goes to bed - he can quickly jolt down what he ate and then AI would summarise log it for him.
Let me know what you think.

#978What do you guys think of this? https://www.textaurant.app . It's an AI "agentic" SMS ordering system that's hopefully better than Taco Bell's attempt... I got sick of navigating every restaurants nuanced online order placing and figured I'd try to standardize it myself with an SMS based assistant (yes I'm aware of the XKCD). The idea is every restaurant would have their own number, or down the road I could have a si…
Cool, SMS is an underrated UI. Its universal, works accross all phones, requires no app installs or fancy website work, I like it! I think it would need to integrate with the delivery ecosystem eg. doordash/uber eats to get traction, have you talked to any local restaurants about it yet?
Late reply but I have a local restaurant that's willing to beta test it. I'm trying to get all the edge cases ironed out before I go live. There's a whole lot of branding logic I'm trying to account for so nervous it won't be reliable and they'll flake on me.

#979Klay.dev - a tiny, but super capable cms. basically it is the cms system i have always looked for as a web developer. i made a launch attempt last year but got zero attention. so currently it is only used by me, my own agency and a number of my Danish clients. a shame, really. i wonder how many other people out there have made stuff that is super useful, but just never got any attention?
it looks nice! modern devs seem to have a eflexive, irrational "hate" of php
