Made a collaborative "corona stock" spreadsheet[1].

Now feel like a great opportunity to buy some "cheaper" stocks that could make great returns in the future. Also helps to have better perspective of my "limited" vision of the market.

I'm working on Polar: https://getpolarized.io/ It's been out for about 1.2 years now and we're really starting to nail some important features. JUST about to post a new release now. COVID19 is having us pivot a bit in that we're going to experiment with collaborative group reading in the hopes that students can work more efficiently with their colleagues without having to leave home. The core idea is to have a fully-…

Can it be used without external services, like firebase?

I'm working on a morse code iOS app that can optionally use Force (3D) Touch. My dad had a stroke recently and is quarantined in a care facility. He can't talk but remembers morse code like a boss. He can't lift his finger off the screen to "tap" and there were no other morse apps out there for people with physical impairment. With this he's able to communicate... I've been coding for 15 years but this was life chang…

Consider an Apple Watch app/extension?

It could be incredibly useful to not have to pick up a phone to use, and probably would not be that difficult to port over.

If you need help, testing or advice feel free to contact me at claire at theoic dot me. I’m a bit of a Watch nut and do iOS programming for a living.

I am working on my password manager's android app. Implementing Android's autofill capability. Alot of fighting with flutter, android, kotlin, ... The password manager is Psono (https://psono.com) if someone wants to know. I built it myself because a couple of years ago when I started good alternatives did not exist.

Hi, so many cool ideas in this thread but this one really caught my attention. As it happens I've been investigating solutions like this under an open source basis. Unfortunately I didn't pay enough attention to "marketing" so I was forced to quit due to lack of funding. Now my hands are sort of tied by a greedy copyright clause in my contract so I'm not sure how much I personally can do as I really want my work to be in the hands of the public.

One of my ideas is exactly using morse but more as a means to demonstrate a way to make a new input method learnable via a HUD.

Apart from that I'd think you might be interested in Dasher and that you should check out the solution that Stephen Hawking is using which happens to be open source.

I've put in quite a lot of thought into this and would love to discuss this with you. If you are interested please use contact form in link below or let me know how I can contact you.

https://host.io - an API to get domain name metadata (scraped web content, backlinks, redirects, dns data, ranking information and more). See https://host.io/google.com for an example. We've been building out the infrastructure for a while (scrape all domains monthly, resolve all domains, progress the data etc), but have only recently launched the API (see htttps://host.io/docs). We'll soon be releasing a Top 10M Ran…

Some corps collect DNS logs from the infrastructure for domains that have been registered very recently.

UPDATE: The free tier is static at 1k and then you have to buy credits or it is 1k / month?
