I am working on a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling used camera gear. Currently, the only way to do this is via Craig's List, Ebay or forums. We're creating dedicated marketplace and we'll be facilitating secure transactions among buyers and sellers. It's going to be a long road. If interested, you can sign up for early access here: http://gearoffer.com

Love the idea. Are you building the marketplace from scratch or building on something existing?

How long until you launch?

In light of today's Apple Mac Pro announcements, I'll chime in... Problem: Building macOS desktop applications as an indie-developer. Project: Fileloupe for Mac and Videoloupe for Mac Fileloupe is a lightweight media browser that I actually announced on Hacker News a few years back. Videoloupe was just released and is a video player/editor in the spirit of the older QuickTime Pro 7. I work on both of these full-time…

Nice.

Get yourself listed on http://alternativeto.net/browse/search?q=videoloupe

Problem: software developers want to hear about software needs in other industries. Project: Opps Daily ( http://oppsdaily.com ) interviews people about the software they wished they had, and sends the interviews out every day. We then connect interested devs to the interviewee when possible.

This would be helped by doing a bit of extra research to include a summary of existing solutions; ideally the interviewee would explain a bit of detail about anything they had experience with (why it didn't work).

I'm working on Dullahan - an open source, headless browser SDK that uses the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). It is designed to make it easier to write applications that render modern web content directly to a memory buffer, inject synthesized mouse and keyboard events as well as interact with web based features like JavaScript or cookies. Currently working on Windows 32/64 bit and macOS 64 bit although there is st…

What is the advantage of your project over regular headless Chrome? It appears you have prioritized Windows + MacOS while the official version only supports Linux. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headle... I am also curious regarding the timeline of your decision to implement this on CEF vs. the official headless support finally picking up steam around the same time (October 2016). Keep up the g…

Thanks for the info j_s.

The project has been going for some time and as far as I know, headless Chrome wasn't an option back then.

I've come across it in the past but I didn't realize it was as far-forward as that page suggests - looks really neat and sadly, might render my modest efforts obsolete.

Windows and macOS are the priority now since we are using it for rendering web content inside my company's primary application and for us at least, the focus is on those platforms. There is a working Linux implementation - it just needs some love from someone who knows what they're doing.

I'll take a closer look. Thank you!

Project: Building an ML model (in an iOS app) that detect different fitness movements, count the reps and indicate if the user used a proper form. It's mostly a fun side project I am building to improve my ML knowledge.

I'm interested in this. Whats your progress so far? What techniques are you using; can you point me to any research papers? Best of luck on your project.

I've been working for about a year now on Juicebox, which is like turntable.fm but better:

- Can play from YouTube and SoundCloud

- Autoplay makes a juicebox more like a radio station that plays your favorite tracks

- Allowing users to create and curate their own juicebox gives them a sense of ownership

https://www.juicebox.dj/

Use the invite code HN to create your own Juicebox!

A search engine for the world's laws: global-regulation.com. It has over 800,000 machine translated laws.

Two person company in Toronto. One dev (me). Lots of big universities are clients, currently trying to expand to more corporate clients.

We charge customers according to the purchasing power of their country so it's cheap for developing countries. We are trying to aggregate all world legislation, convert it to English, and make it available to everyone.

Project: I'm working on a visual web app designer that will enable non-developers to build sites, and developers to build sites much faster. It exports to Docker+React+Node.JS but could feasibly export to other platforms too, and is automatically responsive and isomorphic.

Problem: cleanly representing different types of logic (positional/layout, CRUD logic, maths, styling) in a cohesive GUI is challenging. Fun though!
