I’m building a VS Code extension, that provides a CodePen-like playground experience, but integrated into the editor. I wanted a way to easily create and share runnable code snippets/samples (like a “visual repl”), but using local files, and leveraging my existing IDE color theme, keybindings, and extensions.

It’s called CodeSwing: https://aka.ms./codeswing

https://www.dispoteca.com/ I just launched the marketing site on Monday. I'm 38 with a spouse and two small children. I've been a CTO of two SMBs over the last few years and needed to build something of my own. It's the craziest thing I've ever done. The industry is end-of-life IT assets. It's a big industry with a lot of steak dinners that you can make a decent living at by grinding. I was introduced by a buddy of m…

This is really well done.

I'm making something I call "newsbetting" - you get an article stripped of title, author, or source information and you have to bet on whether the article is right or left wing based on the content.

It's definitely not ready for primetime, but my hope is that I can show 1) it can provide a viable business model for struggling news sources 2) it is possible to change the incentives around our news ecosystem to be less ad-driven and sensationalist. I have lots of other ideas, like integrating social media and cryptocurrencies and allowing betting on something other than political bias, but I have my work cut out for me as is. As I'm not really a developer, I'm using this idea mostly to learn

A SwiftUI interface design tool, so you can design completely visually / without coding skills and export SwiftUI code.

The idea is to give  platform app designers and app developers a completely honest bridge... two can be looking at the exact same work artifact and discuss it with dignity.

No more developers being like "I don't think it can look like that" and designers being like "why does that look off?". If it looks like that, well, that's real SwiftUI you're looking at so it can look like that. If it looks off, well, you both know how SwiftUI works now so update the design and send a new copy!

Just working on adding necessary features to the app and growing the community

If anyone has feedback, I would love nothing more than to hear it

I’m currently work on a “leaping fountain” using laminar flow fountain nozzles. I’ve got a first attempt nozzle I’ve 3D printed, and now I’m making a second, larger version. My eventual plan is to have four nozzles that create “leaping” water spurts into a single basin timed to music.

A mobile app for free running gait analysis for reducing injury risk and improving running efficiency. The app uses a user provided video, estimates the runner's position in 3D space, and analyzes the gait over the video duration to identify potential gait abnormalities and areas for improvement. Things it will (hopefully) detect/measure: - Gait asymmetry - Basic running stats (speed, vertical oscillation, stride len…

Looks neat!

Have you considered enriching your dataset with what’s also being collected by an iPhone or Apple Watch? (walking speed, step length, walking asymmetry, and double support time in the Health app)

I'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…

It's a bummer mapbox isn't open source anymore, now you're (and lots of other peoplare) are stuck pre-2.0.0 :(
