Working on a webapp for critically think with others about a problem. The idea is that you build a diagram that contains all the details about the problem and people's thoughts on it, and it's organized in such a way that it's easy to just keep refining , down to the smallest detail. So you build this concrete, shared understanding , and move it forward and forward, until hopefully y'all can make some best decision t…

#992The idea is to have deterministic text transformations generated by AI, which can be saved and reused later to avoid incurring/piling up LLM-call cost and hallucinations.
This solves my own pain points when I wanted to clean up some text with non-trivial requirements which takes quite some time to figure out with normal text editor's find-and-replace + regex. Yes, you can write your own code/put LLM generated code in an IDE and do the same thing. However, I just wanted to create a trivial way to generate/save/execute (safely in a local lightweight VM) code to transform my text.
Would love to hear some comments and feedbacks!

#993tl;dr: By encapsulating infrastructure within an extensible monorepository - recursively resolved from Git submodules at runtime - Proxmox-GitOps provides a comprehensive Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) abstraction for an entire, automated, container-based infrastructure.
Originally, it was a personal attempt to bring industrial automation and cloud patterns to my Proxmox home server. It's designed as a platform architecture for a self-contained, bootstrappable system - a generic IaC abstraction (customize, extend, .. open standards, base package only, .. - you named it!) that automates an entire infrastructure. It was initially driven by the question of what a Proxmox-based GitOps automation could look like and how it could be organized.
Github: https://github.com/stevius10/Proxmox-GitOps
On point: 75sec hands-on demo [video]: https://youtu.be/2oXDgbvFCWY
It's a noncommercial, passion-driven project. I'm looking to collaborate with other engineers who share the excitement of building a self-contained, bootstrappable platform architecture that addresses the question: What should our home automation look like?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!

#994Non tech, but I started a sports beverage company with my brother and a neighbor. We are based in South Florida. My brother and I grew up playing sports and remember the simplicity of home-made drinks we'd take to games that blew the likes of Gatorade out of the park. We aim to replicate the simplicity of home-made drinks with simple ingredients. https://www.drinkiso.com/ Our whole value-add is based around the fact…
On another note, it's cool to see another sibling team at it. My brother and i are also building a startup together (https://www.img-pt.com/). Our tool helps generate ads for products just like yours, without needing an agency or a huge budget, using the information on the website you already have.
Since you guys are in growth mode, would you be open to us making a few ad concepts for drinkiso with our software? I could send them over here for you to see if they're any good or useful. No pressure or strings attached at all.
Keep up the great work!

#995We launched Codimix - a platform where developers network by building together.
The concept is straightforward: join coding events, meet other developers, and collaborate on something. The best way to know someone is to work with them on something.
We're running timed events at different hours so developers worldwide can participate. Teams typically work together for a few hours on small projects.

#997I wanted remote monitoring of machine health and interaction so now it’s more like a PM2 alternative with a built in terminal emulator. Next I will add support for peer-to-peer data sharing so that the dashboard displays data from multiple machines.
In the meantime I am trying to figure out the reporting I am doing for things like USB devices, processes, services, users, and more in an event oriented way so that I can alert on changes in real time.
It’s all TypeScript and the dashboard is a browser page. Interesting learning from yesterday when I tried to perform list analysis between system sockets and processes. For some reason that analysis was dramatically slower in Node (about 100ms) versus in the browser (about 10ms) even though it was almost verbatim identical code against the same list data.

#998This privacy-friendly developer toolbox that bundles a bunch of everyday utilities (JSON formatter, JWT decoder, Base64 encoder, Markdown previewer, etc.) into a single, consistent interface.
It works completely on client side and designed for quick, distraction-free workflows.Right now, the app has a clean sidebar with all tools organized by category .Also it offers as PWA.
It started because I kept opening random web tools for tiny tasks and most of them have lots of ads and not sure where the data is shared with the backend.
Would love to get thoughts from other devs here:
1) What small utilities do you find yourself searching for all the time?
2) Would you prefer a desktop version or just use the web app?
3) Any other “must-have” features you’d want in something like this?

#999I'm launching a new product for my clock-making business: https://DigitalHorology.com None of my clocks tell the time. They're all fully automatic GPS-enabled timepieces. For a couple of years I've been developing, hand-making, and selling these clocks that track the moon phase, the sun's position, etc. My new idea is the tide clock "NautiKron." It's getting a lot of interest from US coastal buyers.

These are great! I love the natural aesthetic with wood as well. I'm curious: how do you sync them to gps?
I connect a tiny GPS module to the Arduino via 3 wires: power, ground, and serial input, and use Mikal Hart's "TinyGPSPlus" module to parse the NMEA data streams.
