A non-profit and opensource meditation app called Medito. https://meditofoundation.org It's built in Flutter which I am loving. We recognised that there were a lot of Meditation apps that had very expensive monthly fees, profiting from people's suffering and a practice that has been around for thousands of years. We've been around only for about a year and we've had around 400,000 downloads and are quite often to top…

Cool app!

An web-based video creation tool where you can create short animated videos. Similar to Kapwing but focused on videos and with more animations and effects. Still far from complete but it's been used for a couple of notable product hunt launch videos already such as bufferi.ng. And for a couple of blog posts of Supabase. Not profitable or anything at the moment and looking at various niches where to take the product,…

Need to try

I'm working on better code review for GitHub. If you're part of a small team that writes code on GitHub but isn't satisfied with their code review tools, send me an email: sam [at] habosa [dot] com We're in very early Alpha but definitely ready for some more early adopters.

Hi! What is wrong with github's code review? You means the pull requests?

I recently started the process of digitizing some old 8mm home movies from my late grandfather. I lament not knowing most of the stories and people shown in the films. It's gotten me thinking about the best way to preserve details of my life for future generations--like what I think my great great great grand kids might be interested in knowing about me if they were doing genealogy research. They probably won't care…

Great point, something I think about often as well. In theory, your great great great great grandkids or nieces/nephews will be able to see 4K video of your kids doing keg stands in college... definitely think there could be a market for people pruning or selectively showing parts of their life, both their more personal and professional/outward sides, for future generations.

A professional social network, on the fediverse. AKA a "decentralised" alternative or addition to- LinkedIn. https://flockingbird.social With some friends, I've been on this for months now, doing all the "less fun stuff" such as interviews, market-research, businessmodel, designing, aligning needs[3], concepts etc. And the more fun stuff, such as proof of concepts and lately some actual programming (yay). "The fedive…

would you put your profile/resume/CV on a decentralised professional network and why (not)?

Probably not, but only for the same reason that I won't post it in the "Who Wants a Job" threads here -- privacy/anonymity online. But if I was someone who had it posted on my website, I would have no problem posting it to a decentralized network as well. IMO just further surface area for potentially finding your next job!

Secondly: Would you be interested in running a small social network just for your co-workingspace, colleagues, company, alumni, startup-hub, businessnetwork, etc?

Maybe, depends on how much work it is to get set up and running, and how helpful it is (how much social/professional capital I would gain for doing so).

Best of luck! I like the idea

A browser extension for creating unions/campaigns, that can collectively decide whether to e.g. boycott a website. If they so decide, all members of that union will, when visiting the page during the time-period of the boycott, see a message explaining the reasons for the boycott instead of the site. (Or the union can decide to display a banner with a message at the bottom of the page, if a full boycott is too strong…

Bravo. Love anything that puts more power into the hands of people as opposed to massive corporations or governments

Current main side project is a website, "Theory of Predictable Software". I want to try and pull together a lot of threads of thought I've had piling up over the past few years: engineering psychology, microeconomics with specific focus on public goods, collective action problems and institutional economics generally, statistical process and quality control, systems dynamics and bunch of other buzzwords worthy of twe…

Got a landing page that I could put my email into to hear more about this down the line?
