Working on an app that enhances communication and collaboration within a building, among its tenants, or within a neighborhood. Beside the obvious "project planning" for the chores around the building it also boosts "good behavior" among the neighborhood. Finishing the mobile part in the next few days, then dealing for a while with the server setup...

I’m working on amna. It’s a better way to manage everything we do. We’re constantly switching between different tasks and use various pieces of information to help us (docs, websites, emails, chats) to help us get those things done. Consider this across all your head spaces, maybe you’re planning a trip at home, and coordinating with volunteers at work. A better to way to keep up with all that is what I’m building.

If it’s interesting, drop me a msg. Planning to open source it (getamna.com)

I'm intending to learn Go and maybe a start with both C and Rust to get a feel for why one is better over the other.

None of these are better than the other. They are all great and powerful languages for different reasons, and a lot depends on the needs of the application.

I run an online collaborative songwriting platform (https://songcraft.io). With the quarantine, I'm going to be pushing to launch a matchmaking system for songwriters looking for collaborators. I've already heard from a bunch of people who are looking for new ways to collaborate on music.

If you're in this space at all, I'd love to chat!

I'm building a no-code web app development platform. There are numerous existing tools in this space, but I don't think anyone has really hit the sweet spot of having the same composability/reusability/conditional benefits of code in a WYSIWYG interface that drastically increases development speed.

Also happen to be looking for a cofounder as well. I'm a developer myself but I'd love to partner with another product-minded dev or a product person with significant industry experience. Let me know if you're interested.

I'm making a new tool for writers. With it, you'll be able to write your essays on "layers" The problem? Tweets are easier to read than long-form essays, as they require less time commitment. If the content is not good on a long-form article, you'll find out way too late. With this tool I'm developing: Layer 1 is the shortest version of your essay, the 1 min read — like a tweet. The idea boiled down to the shortest v…

What you propose as the system for writing makes sense and probably reflects what many people already do.

However, I am curious to know what the tool does. In other words, someone can write a “thesis statement”, and the bullet points and an outline and so on in any editor. What does the tool do?

I'm working on https://spendlight.com a SMS-powered spending journal. With all the uncertainty and risk to our personal finances, it seems fitting to work on a project that will (worst case) help me buckle down and improve my spending habits.

hah, cool to see this idea. I built something similar in 2010 to track my debit card purchases because I always pressed the 'credit' button (in the US) and the transactions didn't appear on my balance sheet for a couple days. So I sent a text just like your site describes and kept a ledger. Nothing like the tags or trends in yours though. Cool idea! The Monzo app in the UK has some really inspiring ideas.
