#372a responsive website to allow people to play 'bau cua tom ca' a vietnamese board game usually played at new years
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%E1%BA%A7u_cua_t%C3%B4m_c%C3%...
have been learning alot across the stack (react/mobx/webpack, nodejs/express, postgres)
also really loving heroku for the ease of setup hahaha
inspiration for this was me and my friends would always plays this game at any party. covid put a damper on that so decided to build the website so we can play together. I never went through the process of actually going through the google ouath publishing requirements so should be a good journey.
have it currently at https://bau-cua-tom-ca.herokuapp.com/

#373Simple (web, but hosted locally) app to help me synchronize my (and my team members) SSH keys across servers - no more wondering where particular user had access. User case is simple - I recently bought new laptop and I need a nice way to add it (it's ssh key) to all servers, that old one had access to.

#374engram - Open Source Knowledge Management Tool
I've struggled to find a note taking app that handles unstructured thought. I frequently have thoughts throughout the day that aren't ready for a full "page" on Notion for example. I just want to know it's stored somewhere so I can review later.
Slowly I'd like to be able to take those thoughts and organize them from there. Pretty much trying to find a way to tame the chaos that my brain produces.
No Product page yet, but some details here

#375I'm working on my side project, a Google My Maps alternative using OpenStreetMap data: https://maphub.net/
Just today I did my biggest feature launch so far, adding real-time collaboration, which might even be a first for map platforms: [1]
Originally I launched MapHub here in 2016 as a Show HN. Ever since I've been running it without any kind of monetization. I'm planning to launch it out-of-beta next month and add freemium packages. Feedback welcome!

It also shows you a random but helpful prompt to reflect on the nature of consumerism and happiness. Maybe they'll decide to not buy all 3. Not guaranteed to save everyone or anyone.

Wow, this is exactly what I need. I've recently been thinking a lot about how much less likely I am to purchase a product if I map its cost back to my hours worked. Thanks for this!
I'm stoked you connect with the idea. Feel free to reach out with any feedback.

#379https://pitchy.ninja -- An online vocal and ear trainer using real-time pitch detection.
It would be really useful if you could add a mic test option to monitor input levels. Managing input devices on the browser can be a big pain....
Also this one is just my opinion, but I think the input volume visual feedback is not very noticeable. Maybe play around with your colors or effects to make it more contrasting?
This is really fun, though. I'll be coming back to it.

#380My pilot's license! I don't really have a lot to report right now, I only just started and have my first lesson on Sunday, but I've gone through most of an online ground school and I'm pumped. I'll be going for my Sport Pilot for now (the FAA medical is a gigantic pain in the ass if you have any chronic illnesses) and I'll hopefully be taught in an early 1940s Aeronca Champ.
That's an magnificent achievement
