It started as a hobby project to showcase virtual tours of my own hikes and bike rides, but it has grown a fair bit since the start of the pandemic.
For example, some tourism organisations are creating virtual "guidebooks": https://www.mapthepaths.com/guidebook/860e52a3-6935-4fb8-8ba...
https://ultimatemealplans.com - a meal planning app focused on real food, 5 ingredient meals for busy people with instant online grocery checkout.
https://movewellapp.com - 15 minute mobility exercise routines to help you get stronger, stay injury-free and move better (aka we show you what the hell to do with a foam roller).
Would love any feedback you guys have on these.
Building a twitter community around Adverts from old technology magazines like Byte, Compute!, Crash and ZZap64. Mostly around 8bit computers and the retro computing scene, but also retro stereo decks, cameras and electronics. Most from 80s, 70s and older.
Now I am focusing on making the curating and posting workflow as efficient as possible.
This instance is focused on personal and independent websites, but it is relatively easy to set up other instances to search other parts of the internet (git clone; edit .env; mkdirs for data; docker-compose build; docker-compose up -d). It also has a unique approach to adverts to try and tackle spam - it detects adverts in results pages and promotes results which don't contain them. At the time of writing, users have submitted 768 sites from which it searches 46,176 pages. Some quite fun and interesting content so far, which is hard to find elsewhere.
I start paid client work again from next week so all the rest will have to be put on the back burner so I can make some money for the year.
It's targeted to startups, freelancers and side-hustlers that need something nice that's quick and affordable.
- A book on software development https://efficientdeveloper.com that should give people a good overview of things outside of programming itself (so the focus is on topics like the command line, testing, software estimation, processes etc.).
- An app https://contentwok.com to help bloggers and other content creators to understand more about their articles, compare with the competition and enhance the content to be more attractive. The most recent feature I added is the ability to find images automatically for articles (see it in action here: https://twitter.com/stribny/status/1341490526609149953).
It's an online chat room where you'll find a small group to chat with (around 10 people) with the idea that nowadays it's hard to have a "meaningful" conversation with people in social networks.
It also does something I haven't really seen before which is showing what people are typing in real time, to help make it feel more "real time"! Come try it :)
If you come back it'll try to match you with people you have met before, so that even it became popular it would "feel" like a small community of people.
Still trying to work out the user experience to make this work though, which is why I haven't done a proper launch
Not planning to apply to HN with this, of course, but hoping to build out an indy company.
