I filled my own need with https://howsyourblank.com . I have a minor, but chronic medical condition I am trying to get in check, and I just wanted something incredibly simple to identify good and bad days. I was inspired by "year in pixels" calendars. And I took the opportunity to try out Userbase[0] and build something with a secure backend and no tracking, considering the potentially sensitive nature of it. No plan…

great job! you took a problem, came up with a solution, and executed it very well.

Thanks! Ideas are all around us.

I want to do a side project but not have web development be part of it. Any ideas?

Build the CLI tool or bot. I think you can utilise Telegram or Slack bot as the user interface.

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/…

Great idea! I feel the personal configuration space is ripe for innovation.

I’ve been working on a space telescope constellation. No website or anything yet since marketing is the least of my concerns, there’s so much hardware stuff to work out the feasibility of first. It’s entirely COTS and I’m building the software stack on top of KubOS and Major Tom https://www.kubos.com, and using RPi and Pine64 hardware. LimeSDR hardware and getting the local jurisdiction RF permits to begin work on the communications stack are the next major step after I finish getting the OS built for the various boards it will need to run on.

I’ll keep an eye on the the thread, feel free to ask me any questions. (Or email me, email is in my profile)
