I’ve been building an email newsletter with stock market indicators like futures, premarket data and historical performance going from one day up to ten years of all the major indexes like S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones.

The idea is to send an email every morning before the markets open so I can plan my day and decide if it’s time to buy, sell or hunker down.

I'm building a new twin ad-hoc encoding format to replace JSON and friends [1]. It has native support for all commonly used data types, so you don't need to artificially specify custom encodings just to get your data across. It's a twin text / binary format, where the text format can be transparently converted to the binary format, and vice versa. This means that you can use the binary format for storage and communic…

That looks amazing! Best of luck.

Having worked on a designer to create and share templates for Würfelmosaik, which is a physical game for kindergarten kids where they have to lay patterns with wooden cubes that have different colors and patterns on each side.

Currently only available in German, but it should be pretty much self-explanatory.

I, with a friend of mine, worked on creating a static website - https://learn-from-home.herokuapp.com/ to learn from home during the lockdown. It has a list of many of the free resources available right now. While going through the comments, I was inspired/amazed by https://grocy.info/ and I'm thinking of building something similar. It is really helpful.

I am leading several efforts helping multiple state HIEs (health information exchanges) and hospital associations gather COVID-related data which they can't obtain any other way due to the US's terribly disjointed healthcare system. The data we are providing to the various states is pretty depressing.

We are also getting close to standing up a solution that allows Washington State and NY state and others to search for patients that took COVID tests but for whom they only have partial demographics. The solution will allow the states to find hospital visit history and full addresses.

This week has been very crazy for my company.

I'm building https://remoteleaf.com so that it helps people land remote jobs during this COVID-19 crisis. Remote Leaf[1] hand-picks thousands of remote jobs from 40+ remote job boards, 1200+ company career pages, Linkedin, Reddit, Facebook, Hacker News Hiring and only sends the ones that apply to you. [1] - https://remoteleaf.com

One super minor thing you may want to change that may help clarify things for both companies and employees (mostly companies) :

> Jobs are tailored to your location and skills

I live near a metro area and have been asked dozens of times if I'd be cool 'coming in 1-2 days a week' even though the job listing says 'remote'.

I think, for a 100% remote job board, you may consider revising it to something less specific, but specific enough for taxes/residency/cost of living purposes.

> Jobs are tailored to your country and skills

If nothing else it's a pain point for job sites that I rarely see talked about so hopefully you find my reply somewhat useful

I've just finished off (within the last hour) my version of Asteroids, which I started with enthusiasm two or three years back, then did very little after getting the basics of the game working: https://arcade.ly/games/asteroids/ Now I've finally added all the stuff I wanted to (black holes, satellites, power-ups) so it's time to pick up another project I started a long time ago and haven't really done much on: my ve…

Gonna finish up work on my 3D marble madness clone now. Thanks for the motivation!
