Project: Distributed, trustless, anonymous, encrypted, messenger/mailer with the goal of hiding senders and receivers of messages. Also can't be brought down since it is distributed.

You have a problem with zip codes that start with 0 eg 07001.

Dammit, I didn't even know that they could start with 0. Thanks!

New England, New Jersey and parts of New York start with a 0.

Problem: It's hard to configure Vim/Neovim to work like an IDE, and the terminal UI isn't the same as something like Atom, Sublime, or VSCode. Vim plugins for those editors never quite hit the sweet spot for me in terms of using the muscle memory I've built up.

Project: Oni (https://github.com/extr0py/oni), a Neovim front-end with out-of-the-box IDE functionality (right now, supports JavaScript & TypeScript).

Cool to see what everyone is building!

I am working for data engineering consultancy company and I noticed that we often need large datasets for various reasons, but it's hard to find those. So we started building open source tool which allows us to quickly generate large volumes of data. The idea is to create DSL for describing the data and allowed values and the generator should generate the data set based on that.

Any help and ideas are more than welcome.

I'm working on https://programmercv.com , a résumé builder with superpowers : - import from linkedin, xing or stackoverflow - multiple résumé versions - track your job applications - export to any format you need (doc, pdf, html, xml, json) - publish on Github Pages - No lock in: build on open source tools (most features are still work in progress)

Have you investigated linkedin profile import feasibility yet? Their API is really restrictive and they're blocking most of the hosting provider IP ranges.

Ridiculous that they restrict access to user profiles even if with the explicit user permission (via OAuth).

Let me know if you find a solution :)
