Re: Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
#402In the beginning of all this covid-19-craze I (like many others) wanted to get a better view of the numbers and spread of the virus so I created a small app for that - https://coronadata.se - I look at it daily to get an overview of how the numbers evolve, hopefully someone else can have use for it, not that we have to few of these corona-apps :).
Right now I am working on a tiny analytics SaaS that helps small business owners to get KPI:s like Engagement, Retention, Churn and Earnings out-of-the-box with simple integration and some sensible defaults with dashboards etc.

#403Strengthening my lungs. I've had a persistent cough for over 6 months, and decided that with a respiratory-based pandemic going around, I ought to do what I can to get rid of it, or at least strengthen my lungs while I have the chance. So I've picked up running and cycling, and have gotten more exercise in than I have in years.
And after deciding to pair it with some calorie monitoring, I've gone down almost 5 kg since C-19 started!

I've been working on https://FoundersList.com -- a place for founders to connect, share ideas/posts/launches, connect with professionals/experts, ask questions, find cofounders, events, etc.
Would love any thoughts/comments/feedback!

#407https://sqlc.dev
Work continues on sqlc, my SQL compiler side project. I recently released v1.3.0, which mainly consisted of big fixes.
I’m really excited about the in-browser playground I launched at https://play.sqlc.dev. I hope it gets more people to install sqlc locally.

It's a collaborative media database to rate and track all your media in one place.
Think Letterboxd/IMDb/Goodreads but with more media types.
Also http://masscorona.info - easily digestible and mobile-friendly statistics and graphs/charts on official Massachusetts Coronavirus data.

#409I've been struggling to find time, but when I do I've been trying to get a good family-room video chat setup going.
Ideally, Apple would just release a FaceTime-compatible camera I can plug into my TV... but until then, I'm working towards a small HDMI connected device that I can control with my phone (running Jitsi).

#410I've been working on a video annotating web extension, works on Firefox/Chrome and Netflix/Youtube/Vimeo: https://plopdown.video
Edit: wanted to add a few more details on what my goals are with this project!
1. Being able to easily add audio commentary to hosted video, MST3K and Rifftrax being an example.
2. Being able to do popup video style context and commentary.
3. Drinking games.
4. Instant replays.
5. Picture-in-picture commentary (reaction videos).
5. Pointing out easter eggs or continuity errors in videos (think the hidden ghosts in "The Haunting of Hill House")
