I'm working a tool that lists Apple Computers by sound levels.

To help people who value silence choose the quietest mac: https://quietmac.app/

A very small side-project that was something I wanted to do for a while.

There's no plans to monetise it, it's a resource for those who want a quiet desktop.

Mostly finished (not mobile friendly, yet)

Working on a way to take the output of Event Storming and translate it into serverless applications.

hashtag DDD, CQRS, etc. etc.

I really don't know much about either (learning a lot), and when I tell people about it their eyes glaze over but whatever I still wanna do it.

https://github.com/stochastic repo is still private but I'm willing to add anyone interested. I just don't want to be judged on how bad a programmer I am before I have time to clean it up a bit.

I’m working on a tool that allows developers to record and playback interactive, guided walkthroughs of a codebase, directly from their editor. It’s called CodeTour, and it’s currently available as a VS Code extension: https://aka.ms/codetour . I built it because I frequently find myself looking to onboard (or “reboard”) to a project, and not knowing exactly where to start. After speaking to a bunch of other develope…

Looks really cool.

I'm working a tool to track and report git commits across multiple repositories in an organisation. I am also adding more features to validate commit messages and branch names to help maintain a standard across the repositories.

My goal is to provide qualitative analysis on Git usage throughout the team and identify users who may require additional Git training. It is such a powerful tool but I see so many dev's still writing commit messages like "changes", "updates", "fix" multiple times per pull request.

I'd love to get some feedback

I'm putting some more time into PortableApps.com. I know it'll help people use their laptops for both work and personal stuff while keeping them separate. And I built a portable package of Folding@home which they're reviewing for release to hopefully get more folks helping attack COVID-19.

I'm working on chess analytics! Lots of interesting tools for statistical analysis of openings and other potentially useful things for tournament prep. Writing it as a Clojure library but it includes its own engine just for kicks.

I posted this to "show" yesterday:

The last couple of months, I have been working on Paysly (https://paysly.io) to make it easier to accept payments online.

At its core, Paysly allows developers to create payment flows using Stripe Elements - all from the fronted. During development, I though it would also be cool if it supported the creation of dynamic Stripe Checkout flows from the frontend as well, and also provided a way to verify both kinds of payments using JWTs.

I think the tutorials are the easiest way to understand how Paysly works, and I have created examples for one-time and recurring payments using both Checkout or Elements in the docs (https://docs.paysly.io).

By signing up and linking a Stripe account, Paysly will generate both a live key (for regular payments), and a test key you can use to set up and test integrations.

I think that Paysly makes the (awesome) Stripe developer tool set even more simple to use, but I have been struggling to figure out how to find interested users(...).

The last bit is what I am working on now. Trying to figure out where to post/advertised to help devs writing payments integrations.

I am working on a browser extension called Toxnic that can block out trolling content on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. I have been wanting to develop this for quite some time in order to have a troll-free browsing experience when using social media. The extension uses deep learning to filter content that is considered extremely toxic or insulting. The model was trained on a standard toxic content data set by Google (Jigsaw). https://faizanahmad.tech/toxnic/

The extension code has also been made open source.

Newsy is my current project. I have quite a few un-used idle domains, which I have been meaning to develop for quite some time but never had time for.

I wanted to quickly create a site that worked well, runs on its own, content-driven and few other features that I wanted in it (e.g. membership, automated newsletters, ability to sell domain or get leads) - imagine a Reddit-like content aggregator site. So I created Newsy.

https://newsy.co

We're currently in beta so lots of bug fixing. Here's a few sites that run on Newsy.
