I’m working on a market validation web app to help founders and small business owners identify emerging trends and common DIY solutions/business ideas using Reddit data - and once the ideas are put into play, to identify, save and act on mentions and feedback to help iterate around their customers faster.

Anywhere that I can type my email in to get updates about this?

At 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…

This is a good idea. I am a follower of GTD for over a decade and always the annual reviews, tickler file management etc., (long term to TODO) was a challenge. I wrote a python script to keep all my long term ideas in a separate file and transfer to my todo. I open sourced it. You can find it here https://github.com/vivekhub/todo-tickler

An 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…

I agree with the other comment about how this incentivizes just being a good content picker. To simulate and get the efficiencies of the stock market, I think you need a mechanism that is analogous to how a profitable company pays out dividends. Sure the speculation can drive prices but fundamentally there needs to be some intrinsic value to an investment that is actually derived from how useful the content is... how profitable the content is

Just started a new job, so had to take a break while I get my routines sorted out, but before that was making semi-interactive sites for my short stories to live in. The latest one was a trio of short stories embedded in a... html puzzle box I guess? Anyway, it's up here: https://3ai.highvoltageclouds.com/

Awesome!

A minimalistic web app host that supports serverless functions. Just create an account and you have an entire sub domain to work freely in. No projects, no deployments, no git, no cli, just create files, folders / routes and functions and away you go, all from the browser.

Link? Github? Newsletter sign up?

I built a website for finding deals on Amazon Warehouse items.

Over the past few years I've been buying a lot of stuff from Amazon Warehouse and have been extremely pleased with the experience. Most are very lightly used items that were returned, and in some cases it's just that the packaging was damaged. If you're ok with this, it's not uncommon to find items with over 50% discounts. In the few cases where I got a bad item, returning it was a breeze. My main complaint has been that the items are very hard to browse, so I decided to make my own website for this.

The website is https://www.dealforager.com
