Hookdoo: SaaS that allows you to create incoming webhook endpoints to run shell scripts on your remote servers. https://www.hookdoo.com/ And of course my open-source webhook server project: https://github.com/adnanh/webhook

How does Hookdoo differ from plain old CGI scripts? I have no idea why I would need it.

Hydroponics.

Between farmbot and MIT openAg, it feels like there is momentum to disrupt the food industry. From my first tests this year, it is way cheaper and gives better results, to grow my own food either in the small plot in my back yard or inside in some sort of hydroponic setup. My goal is to make it super simple.

I just finished my latest Hacker News reader. I usually read HN on my phone, so over the years I've written several wrappers to improve the layout on mobile devices, and also to test out new tech. This version uses Bootstrap 4 for the frontend and ASP.Net MVC Core 2 on the backend, running on a Linux server. http://webbindustries.com/hackernews

For 2018 I'm hoping to make progress on an app I've started, which handles Project Management specifically for software development consultants. The difference from most other PM tools is going to be handling multiple projects for multiple clients, client/role-restricted views, separate-but-linked requirements and task+time tracking, and separate-but-linked budgeting and estimating. I'm designing this primarily for myself, but also so that it can become a SaaS product I can offer as either a hosted service or self-hosted product.

Building an API based quick report service (around Typeform, Zapier, Mailgun, and R-Project's Plumber service) for my professional and academic businesses focused on essay editing and resume writing. People don't have the time or inclination to do final edit themselves so these tools will tell them how bad their doc is and whether they need a professional service like ours. Will mostly be for Asian clients who find me on China's Taobao and Weidian where we have our electronic shops.

I have 3 big ones. - Nulis - a tree text editor for writers https://nulis.io/ I have built a beta that was very well received, now it's time to clean up the code(rewriting it from scratch), add some cool features, and follow the roadmap to complete v1.0. - Helix - a habit tracking app https://helix.startuplab.io Designed this app mostly for myself, but I think it turned out great, has a lot of potential, and users se…

Is there a "long-term" view for Helix where you can zoom out and see a map of your activity? Kind of like GitHub's contribution graph.

I'd use this, looking forward to a V1.

Hi Rayalez,

Nulis seems very interesting. I just played with it a bit. I certainly like your approach on creating an outline.

I'm also working on an app for writers: https://mediatag.io. It is more general for all creatives and filmmakers, but I wrote a use case for screenwriters: https://mediatag.io/use_cases/filmmaking/screenwriting
