I've founded a startup with kick-ass people to build the future of Electronic Medical Records. And it looks very bright, transparent, intelligent, and automated :)

#63Im making an aggregate site for youtube mixes - house, lofi, ect. https://ytradio.xyz/ It started with only live streams (24/7 youtube music channels) I enjoy lofi youtube mixes when coding, and theres a lot of them. Currently im adding functionality for users to curate the mixes I think its cool bc its kind of like a shared youtube playlist for a particular niche, with nice ui, and soon with curation
Hey this is really cool! I've specifically been looking for something like this. Thanks for making it!

#64I'm working on a bit of testbench software for these guys - http://albatern.co.uk/
The software runs on an industrial controller (basically an Intel Atom with a proprietary bus to connect tons of I/O modules), driving a bunch of electrical and hydraulic gear, and logging data for analysis.
I like Albatern's idea for a wave power array based on lots of small, easily-deployed modules, and I'm hoping that their tests pan out and get them to production readiness.
While I have just spent 2.5 days freezing my ass off coding in an unheated industrial shed in a Scottish winter, it was a shed full of massive wave power components - hydraulic hoses as thick as your arm, man-height generators, and so on - so that's pretty fun! When I wasn't coding, I also got to make myself useful by stripping cables and wiring an emergency stop box.
In previous client work, I scrambled around wiring up sensors and programmed control code and UIs while standing in a small shipping container floating on a tidal platform in the middle of a Scottish estuary ( https://sustainablemarine.com/plat-i ); and more recently, learned how to do mean-time-between-failure analysis for an industrial Ethernet network that needed to live at the bottom of the sea with ten-year maintenance intervals and a >£10,000 bill to bring it up for component replacement.

#65An ongoing comics series. Elevator pitch: “Imagine you’re watching funny-animal Star Trek... except every other episode is from the point of view of the Borg.” Also the Federation is actually a quasi-monastic order of Space Jesuits chasing after whatever remnants they can find of the vanished Ancients, and the Borg is a bunch of goth hippie dryads dreamed up by massive shipminds, and did I mention everyone is a cartoon animal with no pants, and it’s intentionally designed to be too big for just me to draw and I’m really looking forwards to/dreading when it has enough inertia for me to actually hire some friends to draw parts of it, and...
I’ve been spending the past couple years kicking around a massive space opera. I’m finally starting to finish pages of its comic-book incarnation. It’s good to start moving forwards on a story again, wrapping up all the loose ends on my previous graphic novel took far too long.
http://egypt.urnash.com/parallax - very much a placeholder right now, just the last iteration of the pitch bible and some links; once I have enough pages drawn I’ll start having them show up there. Right now they’re just on the Patreon.

#66I'm making a 2D casual/puzzle game similar to scrabble but instead of building chains of letters to form words, you build chains of words that rhyme with each other based off the picture on the tile.
Some tiles have multiple labels. A picture of a cat can be rhymed with bat or hat, buy it can also be a "pet" and rhyme with net, etc.

#67I'm working on developing my own language.
The best way I can describe it is: imagine Python but statically-typed with type inference, proper concurrency support (via greenthreads), sum types (like enums in Rust), and immutable data structures in the standard library (like Clojure). I may even add optional checks that a function is pure.
The stage I'm at right now is learning how type inference works well enough to be able to implement a correct type inference engine for it.

#68I'm building a command line tool in python for front end development. Im self taught and never actually have built anything. Besides that, I was unhappy with everything else out there. I could either learn someone else's tool or learn to build my own.
I do have a question. I'm using urllib.request instead of using requests to download normalize and I found conflicting information regarding if it was safe or not.
Finally, can I get feedback on my website. Gotta lose the fear.
Edit: for the life of me I can't find how to solve a full height div on mobile, specifically in Firefox. It happens regardless if I use 100vh or 100%. It seems that it can only be solved in JavaScript (which I'm still searching for a practical solution), tough, I would rather avoid a js solution.

Hey, I really like it!
I've wanted to build something similar but haven't gotten around to it.
Couple questions: What do the icons at the top of the page do? (The music note, rain drop, anchor, etc) I think they are some sort of filter but click them doesn't seem to do anything. A tooltip or quick note might help the user know what they are for.
would you consider adding soundcloud integration? I have a bunch of playlists/music that I can only find on soundcloud and want a way to integrate with youtube playlist for continuous play/mixed playlists.
are you open to outsider help? I've been looking for a project to help contribute to and really like what you have started. Wouldn't mind helping with some PRs if you are open to it.
Great work!

#70https://yumefood.com.au - a platform that mitigates surplus food from going to waste, saving CO2 emissions, landfill and water usage in the process at a massive scale.
It also enables organisations like schools, universities and missions get access to bulk food at a fraction of the usual price.
I never thought it’d be possible to affect this type of change using code, which is quite cool IMO!
