It is steadily growing and generating revenue. However, due to other obligations, I am not able to actively work on it. I am keen to find someone to take it over from me, raise capital, and build a proper business. My contact is easy to find if you are interested to chat.

Re: Ask HN: What are you working on?
#912The goal is to have a dense information display system that can persist between restarts and after the window is interacted with, all of the overlapping windows are correctly restored to their positions.
I will use it to display trading data, but it would also probably be useful for showing service and build statuses if they are distributed across different services or pages.
I've looked for exising solutions for this on Windows, and they look all very rudimentary. Window layout savers have very little recognition logic when restoring window placements, and of course they don't restore internal state like auto-refresh and scroll position. Chrome by default doesn't restore pop-up windows, while non-popup windows have too much of a GUI visible and I wasn't able to find an add-on that can do this.
I would probably be better off writing a browser extension, but I'm not that proficient in that, so for now am going with making a browser by integrating Microsoft's new embedded Chromium-based browser.

#913I have found it to be buggy, obviously there are performance issues, but when it is just right it is a really magical user experience. My first test was highlighting a section of a document, running it through client side OCR, and automatically copying it to the clipboard. It happens in less than half a second.

#915An aggregator ala reddit/hackernews/twitter that uses a market mechanism to better incentivise content discovery. One of the biggest issues with existing aggregators is that: - how well content performs is dependant on the attention it gets immediately after posting. - However, readers aren’t incentivised to sift carefully through new content, which is generally of lower quality than "frontpage" content - This means…

#916It's not much but (most of) it's mine :)

Currently users can sign in with twitch and play audio locally from youtube urls (using the invidious api, so no google login required) but I work on it whenever I can so it can hopefully become what I described above.
Contributions are more than welcome, although my code is pretty much undocumented and untested (but you could say I'm still in the prototyping stage so there isn't much code to begin with)

#917It is called TerminusDB and I just redesigned the README:

We think it could enable the sort of data mesh architecture discussed in this article:

#918I've just started a browser app that allows you to create and restore layouts of windows with websites, with minimal graphical UI and which remembers zoom levels and scroll positions as well as has an auto-refresh functionality. The goal is to have a dense information display system that can persist between restarts and after the window is interacted with, all of the overlapping windows are correctly restored to thei…

#919At the risk of sounding like I am kidding, I am building a personal productivity application. While the world is full of "todo" apps, they are essentially list management systems. They vary in aesthetics and mechanics but none of them help you do the hugely valuable work of planning years out and then driving your weekly planning and daily activity off these huge goals. More so, they profoundly fail to keep you accou…
