> Hi HN, I'm curious to see what cool things everyone's building. What side projects are you developing? What are you applying to HN with?

A music composition mobile app designed to be a combination midi reel / chart creator. Think ultimate guitar or iRealPro but you can also dictate how the chords should be voiced and which tones on which beats (so a midi reel with context aware highlighting). Beta in ~3 months, I'd love to connect with any interested testers! Trying to think if I should do paid, free with ads, or free with something like patreon

Tons of features working, just need to refine UI. Multiple voices and instruments, modal interchange, secondary dominant, and tritone substitution functionality. Android only atm because I don't own an iPhone or mac and developing for that platform doesn't sound fun.

Me and a friend have been working on a game that I describe as "Factorio but for programming". Essentially you're an AI who's mission is to mine every resource from a planet. To keep things efficient you start out small and have limited processing power. You're only able to run an assembly like language that we've developed. As you get more resources you can research new things like functions, variables, type argumen…

Very interesting. More screenshots on site would help, as I abandoned the session after entering email address once with expectation I could see some kind of interface but was presented with some other sign up thing instead.

Show us the thing! :)

I'm making a video editor that removes silence from videos. After creating a bunch of code screencasts, I've found most of my editing time is spent manually cutting out chunks of silence, and it's always felt like a job the computer should be doing. So I'm making a native Mac app to do it for me. It's in private beta right now, and feedback has been good so far! I'm hoping to hoping to get it launched in the next few…

You can use webRTC VAD or the VAD from RNNoise.

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…

Congrats! Site looks great.

> needed to build something of my own

I HEAR THAT (and I bet many of us here do too.) Glad you got it done and best of luck.
