-Alzheimer's caregiving is exhausting even with many times more informal caregivers than persons with dementia.
-It's difficult to track where everything stands, what needs to be done, and how a family member or friend can help.
I'm working on an app that helps families delegate tasks, message, and take notes in a single place with customizable permissions for what is and isn't shared.
Every story on Storylocks is a serial; chapters are crowdsourced and the top-rated gets inducted into the larger story. I wanted to create a platform that lets creative writers / hobbyists contribute to larger communal & ongoing stories, but without the pressure of having to write an entire novel on their shoulders.
On release it will be focused on blogs and podcasts. I'd like to add Gumroad-like functionality a couple of years later (if all goes well).
It's oriented to non tech people: photographers, cooks, writers, travelers, etc, but of course developers will be welcome and will be able to post snippets of code. :)
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…
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 could imagine one mechanism is that you make bets on how popular content will be, and get rewarded if it is popular (number of clicks, comments, etc.) ie popularity handicapping.
What do you do with the rewards of your bets? Maybe allow you to bump stuff to the main page? Promote content? I couldn't imagine paying for this, however.
Alternatively, you could use the mechanism to identify people who are good at identifying interesting content, and having a leaderboard of people who find cool shit. That might be monetizeable.
These are all being wrapped up into https://joltblock.com
I'm sharing videos often including the alpha channel embedded (using the HAP codec). Also using a seedbox to distribute the videos so as to overcome hosting fees, which become costly for the amount of data I'm sharing.
