An aggregator ala reddit/hackernews/twitter that uses a market mechanism to better incentivise content discovery. One of the biggest issues with existing aggregators is that: - how well content performs is dependant on the attention it gets immediately after posting. - However, readers aren’t incentivised to sift carefully through new content, which is generally of lower quality than "frontpage" content - This means…

I think this is interesting, at least in terms of judging quality of individual posts.

I remember back in the days of kuro5hin there was reputation, you could earn reputation with thoughtful comments and then good reputation would mean more visibility for your posts. Has that proven to be a horrible approach? Are there communities that work this way now?

A near real-time peer-to-peer piano keyboard visualizer for remote music lessons. Peer 1 plays their keyboard, and the midi data is sent to Peer 2 where a keyboard animates and sound optionally plays. Project name is Midishare. Got the idea after starting piano lessons about 5 months ago. It’s all over zoom, which works surprisingly well for music lessons on its own, but it’s difficult rigging a camera to show the re…

I get that this leaves non-midi keyboards behind though, as well as all other instruments. If anyone has ideas on that topic I am all ears!

Initially I do plan to keep the scope small to see how well it performs, identify the problem areas, etc.

In the last several months, I've been working on MintGate that allows taking any Internet link and protecting it through a proxy that gates users by access tokens (Etherum, ERC20, ERC721, 1155, xDAI, Matic, NEAR, and others). We think of ourelves as mashing up authentication tokens with actual token economics. :)

A note taking app called thinktype: https://thinktype.app

The goal is to make it as easy as possible to write down your thoughts. You can immidiately start typing when you open the app, and thinktype uses one field to write and search notes, so you don't have to ask yourself whether you wrote something down before.

Making a practice area for students to hack a network for CPTC, setting up a SBS 2003 with a few windows 7 clients with email and everything to package up and help students learn how to hack a network. I plan on making it mostly public and hopefully RIT lets me open it up to the world to self serve spin up a copy on the new CyberRange they made
