This is a great idea! Are you doing it manually or scraping subs for keywords etc?

Thanks. I have been manually adding the alerts. Users also have the option of submitting their own alerts.

you probably know this but you're building a nice labelled training set for machine learning to help you automate the process later

Like most people do I seem to start a million and finish none. I have been having trouble tracking my options trading cost basis lately and am thinking about writing something for that. I want to integration Plaid, but the version that supports Brokerage accounts starts at $500/mo :|.

I completely identify with this. it's about bad time management or whatever, no tool can fix this - it's about education. well organized people use excel just fine to track whatever, and also some artists don't track anything and do amazing. so it also depends on your purpose.

this is something I think about a lot. I think this affects some people more than other, not sure if this is ADHD, ADD or whatever but it is a huge problem even more so the information age.

let me know if you have ideas how to tackle this.

Working to solve the online privacy problem by making it easy to discover and host copies of existing privacy-respecting web apps.

Coupling: language learning app for bilingual couples looking to pick up each other's native languages https://learncoupling.com

Cool. I've fiddled with A-Frame and I've seen supermedium before. cool stuff. Why do you focus on couples though? I love the concept of partnering together but I don't think you should limit your audience.

Dotfilehub: https://dotfilehub.com I've always found various solutions that use git for sharing configuration files cumbersome. I set out to make my own simple version control system, and a lightweight web application where I can browse and edit them remotely. The main idea is that paths are aliased to simple names, so I can say `dotfile pull i3` and it will install https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/i3 to ~/.config/i3/…

Would love to comment with feedback but I'm not techincal enough to use it! Sounds like a time-saver though. Do you have any plan with Dotfilehub? Sell it as a product, keep it free, accept donations if it becomes widely used...?

This CloudFromScratch, right? https://github.com/technomada/cloud-from-scratch

I have a document for myself where I note down what I believe to be future industries — trying to time the market. In the same way you might've timed the market in the early part of the previous decade by betting on remote working becoming a pretty viable option (hindsight is 20/20 tho!)

Self-hosted for privacy reasons, to me, is like a bomb waiting to explode. Just like covid accelerated our habits around healthcare (Perhaps future generations will look down on those who don't wear a mask when one catches a cold, the same way we look down on those who don't wash their hands after using the toilet... but in the 17th century that wasn't a thing), I believe mass privacy-awareness will come with a major leak/event.

Looking forward to Apr 1st (if the beta is launched there and it won't be just April Fools' lol!

MultiPreview: https://multipreview.com Create sharable links with different images, so you can share the same article multiple times, e.g. on twitter keeping your feed nice and clean. For those interested in the details, it renders an html page with custom metatags and immediately redirects to the target. Redirect happens in js, so crawlers actually display our metatags vs the target ones. It's just a hack I've teste…

Ohh, kinda like Seth Godin's blog! If you share any of his blog posts, there's a rotation of pics that come up in Twitter's preview. Did I get it right?
