#652My (LLC) partner and I have spent quarantine building a 'network administration' SaaS to simplify network changes for MSPs (IT providers).
Some features:
- Easy deployment of IEEE 802.1x (network access control) with PKI and BYOD portal. (Freeradius with lots of PKI work)
- Configuration backup of network devices to a git repo (custom front end on git for network engineer specific needs).
- Runbook studio to create web forms on top of automation scripts with integrations to Nornir and Ansible. Execute the runbook on the SaaS, it gets pulled by the 'probe' and makes the change.
We need to launch yesterday.

Our product is called Realm Helm.
We haven't made up our minds on if we want to apply to YC or not. I've gone through the videos/reading which has been a huge help but I'm not convinced the target market is big enough for YC.

#653I'm building https://keat.app
After failing my last project where I focused mostly on engineering. I built a landing page now and I'm trying to validate the idea. It's still hard as I don't have much experience in this area.
The app attempts to modernize recipes applications. Most of the existing apps for recipes you cannot easily share them. Like I want to "clone" your recipe and adapt it to my taste.
I also want to create a community around it, where people can discuss and decide based on the latest research. This would translate into feedback for your meal plan.
Let's say there's a discussion about the recommended protein intake. Once everyone agrees on the amount based on a proper discussion, I would add a feedback rule telling you if you are meeting your goal or not.
I don't want to claim it's based on science because it's an ever evolving field, but I thing it would help bridge the gap between diets and research. And of course you'd be able to disable a rule if you don't agree.
I would kindly ask you if you think the landing page reflects those ideas well.

#654Rove - a different take on knowledge management for teams.
Most knowledge management tools (including Notion, Confluence, etc.) are fundamentally wikis - you replicate information from somewhere else into the wiki. Rove is a set of extensions that works inside your existing apps (GSuite, Asana, Slack, etc.). You create backlinks between individual pieces of content in those apps, which creates a graph of knowledge that is unified across all your apps. Because it works within your existing apps, it's much less friction to add knowledge, and you never "forget" to keep it up-to-date.
Give it a try at https://userove.com - or email me saurabh@userove.com if you want to learn more.

#655I just bought a tiny farm, together with a friend. 1300m2 of dirt.
Right now we’re just brainstorming but I consider that “working on it.” Neither of us has time to become farmers, and I will only spend a couple months a year near the Minifarm, so our possibilities are slightly constrained. But this can be an advantage!
Our basic vision is a combination of low-effort agriculture, camping, and art, but we might also try to make wine. The plot is terraced in three roughly equal sections, each a longish rectangle. It’s regulated agricultural land, so no building, but we think we can drop a couple containers on it.
Suggestions welcome!

#656https://categorybooks.com A way to find books by different categories (by prizes their authors have won). I gave up on the site after a month or two (and a lot of work), but I'm putting some more effort into it again. It's the first website I've ever built, so any feedback is appreciated! For example, browsing through the books by "people" and by "books", the format is inconsistent and I'm not sure which is considere…
Neat! I think it'd be useful to have a little blurb under the name of the medal to describe what its for. Like:
Turing Award
for contributing major technical innovations to the field of computing
(I for one didn't know what an Abel prize was)

#657I’m building a website to help people discover high quality, freshly roasted coffee more easily. I’m quite the coffee snob but still find it easy to just grab a bag at the grocery store even though I much more enjoy freshly roasted coffee than something that’s sat on the shelf for months. I’m not quite ready to launch but hope other coffee drinkers will find some use out of it at least
I hope you have www.chainoforigin.com listed on your site :) message me when your site is ready

#658A service that makes it easy to unsubscribe from unwanted emails easily.
You hook up your mailbox to our system via IMAP and we find all your subscription emails and show them to you. You can them choose which ones to unsubscribe from and which to keep.
Most of our competitors are _free_, but make money by selling their users' inbox data for advertising. We pride ourselves on being a paid service, but NEVER compromising on our customers' privacy.
We're currently building an new email digest feature that will let you roll up your newsletters into a single email delivered to you weekly, so you can avoid distractions during the week :)

#659Outline – Fast and open knowledge base for teams
If you like Dropbox Paper but just wish it was more focused on the structured knowledge use-case rather than competing with Google Docs then Outline is for you. If you like Notion, but think it's too slow and complicated for your needs then Outline is for you.
The source code is open on GitHub with 10k+ stars and a Docker container, there's also a very affordable cloud hosted version which pays for continued development.

#660A browser extension called Curb Your Consumerism that detects when you are on a checkout page and shows you how long it took you to earn enough money to complete that purchase. The idea is about increasing the mindfulness of your purchases and reducing unnecessary environmental waste driven by impulse buying. Here's what I'm planning next: - Detecting the checkouts and extracting the checkout total generally across w…
I'm not sure how one would word this exactly, but there are many additional costs to each product that we buy.
Plant space, animal lives, tainted ecosystems, busted up terrain, displaced humans are all contained in most of the products we buy, and especially online.
It's one thing when it's a bare necessity, but I shudder when I think about how many animal lives were lost in order to produce just one faux-animal beanie baby with cute oversized eyeballs.
