#112I'm building Scinna (https://scinna.app/)
It aims at being a fully featured server app to share screenshots, and will be having a desktop and android client. The far-far end goal is to have something as good as ShareX but self-hosted and cross platform. The client will feature a toolbox as the one found in ShareX which I really love but with the added benefit of allowing plugins to enrich it
Been on it for half a year more or less, as of today, I've got the API working and a cli client that works well in conjunction with maim, and I'm focusing on the web ui

#113https://pancakes.cloud - A minimal recipe web app which stores all recipes in simple plaintext format and lets you share your recipes with the community. All this, but without all the fluff, ads, stories and infinite scrolling before you get to what you actually want.

#114I've been trying to think through something called Story-So-Far which is supposed to be an IDE plugin which logs user keystrokes with timestamps and saves it to a local file .ssf . This file should be replay-able in the IDE which essentially means other developers can literally see how the software was made by the original author. This aims to replace tutorials and also increase open source contributions once you see for yourself how the software was written. I know there are security risks involved. But one problem at a time. Haven't started on the actual implementation yet.

#115https://ugly.video - browser based video conferencing using WebRTC
Main idea is to minimize the clicks for my three most common tasks: creating meetings, copying meeting link, and sharing memes.

#116I've been investing for a short while and found no real tools to track my progress to any sort of FI. Before I would use an Excel sheet to keep track of my portfolio value and my net worth, but tracking investments manually was a bit tedious which is why I've started writing a small tool / website to track them for me.
At the moment there's no way for me to integrate with brokers and get up-to-date portfolios, but since I am a mostly passive investor it only takes me a few minutes a week to update my positions.
I'd appreciate any honest feedback and tips as I haven't had much success in finding anyone besides myself who'd want to use this.

#117https://planflow.dev - The easiest way to PLAN your website or mobile app. It tries to make planning a website or mobile app as close as possible to the pen and paper experience. It does this in a simple but (from my, and the experience of those who have tested it out) very effective and engaging way. I share a bit more about how this is done here: https://simpleprogrammer.com/information-architecture-develo... .
FYI - the landing page tells me nothing about what it is you're selling, and "Why PlanFlow" leads to "Access Denied". I don't want to give away my email if I've no idea what it is I'm signing up for.
Plus some bugs you might want to be aware of - the "Coming Soon" floating labels are pretty off-centre on the links, and the hamburger menu when the browser is in portrait is nearly unusable and splits the "Sign Up - Free" button in half. This is on Safari on a Mac.

#118Working on a person focused task list/note taking app for me to be less forgetful.. Personal itch, but though others might like it. https://150people.app
I'm interested, but without your text here I'd have no idea this was a task list/note taking app. There's not a single mention of that on the site, if I were discovering this for the first time I'd think it was a "mindful" exclusive social media site.

#119https://www.slowernews.com/ - https://github.com/slowernews/slowernews
These are, somehow, curated news extracting relevant trends and some edge cases. I see it as a way of using my procrastination positively so I don't really care how popular will it be. I always wanted to read something like this but couldn't find it elsewhere. It may be useful to others also.

#120https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
Something that displays your personal history on a timeline: photos, geolocation, social media, searches, browsing history, transactions, chats etc.
My goal was to have a repository of my personal data that isn't controlled by a third party. I can use it as a much more contextual diary, and as a way to locate things in time (e.g. purchases, motorcycle maintenance). It's both interesting and useful.
It's inspired by my travel diaries, Google History, my photo stream, and the notebook that sits on my desk.
It's live since a while, but I'm still working on adding new sources of data.
Theres also https://github.com/nicbou/homeserver, my personal streaming service. It's in production since a few years. Recently, I added a watch party mode (WebSockets!) and updated the reencoding logic to waste less disk space.
