I'm building techtalksweekly.io – a free weekly email with all the talks from software engineering conferences uploaded in the past 7 days to save my readers from scrolling through messy YT subscriptions.

If you're into software engineering conferences (like GOTO, PyCon, Devoxx, CppCon, JSNation, RustConf, etc.) and enjoy watching tech talks, you should check it out.

I'm currently working on splatgallery.com. It's supposed to be a curated community driven gallery of the best 3D models reconstructed from photos or videos. It's currently in a very early stage and I am still adding more models to it hoping it'll gain traction from the community :)

I never finish my books, so I created a small site with concise summaries of books that I want to read. Each summary includes key concepts, critical reception, and recommended related books, along with an audio version for listening on the go. It's still early days with just a few summaries, but I'm enjoying the process of creating them, all by AI with my refined prompts. There are a lot of book summaries out there, but I haven't found one that I like, so I made my own.

I just finished writing a discord bot backed by postgres with a web frontend. Some friends and I like to do watch parties and this system lets you set a theme for a group of movies, everyone submits their picks, then it will randomize and post what the agenda is each week. Afterwards it posts a poll to let them respond with a thumbs up or down. The next thing on my list is to use the voting data to render a user score based on how well their picks were received by the group lol.

I got really interested in this idea when I decided to write it in a stack I don't normally work in, Go + HTMX. Go routines are incredibly useful. I used https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/ for the front end and it's really become a fun bot all around.

I’m working on https://sweetlemon.app - a tool for tech companies that help them save money on license costs by identifying unused and wasted licenses.

Having worked for 15 years bootstrapping and organically growing digital agencies, I’m now trying to get my own product off the ground.

I’d love to connect with businesses, CTOs, COOs, IT Managers or anyone else who want to talk about trimming down cost in tech companies.

This is an ongoing experiment that david927 has been helping with (thanks!). The two previous in the sequence were: Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41690087 - Sept 2024 (1041 comments) Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41342017 - Aug 2024 (1424 comments) One thing I'd like to hone in on is that these threads a…

Thanks, Dan, for that clarification. The question each month is actually two-fold: what have you been tinkering around with and what new ideas are thinking about. It's an invitation to dialogue. We know our history and the role collaboration has played in it. Whether at Xerox PARC or Bell Labs, bouncing ideas off of other colleagues has spurred incredible innovation. I submit that HN is a giant Xerox PARC. We have al…

What about just “Ask HN: What are you tinkering with?” You can tinker with an idea in your head as well so that works.
