I'm working on https://ubikom.cc , end-to-end encrypted email service based on the concept of self-sovereign identity. Basically, you keep the encryption key, and all your messages are encrypted, on the wire or at rest. The core platform is open-source, the code is available here: https://github.com/regnull/ubikom Billions of users use GMail (or similar services). These companies are making money by selling ads, and…

SMIME won't solve this?

Well if you google for SMIME adoption numbers, you mostly find articles about why exactly SMIME is dead. I would guess it hasn't solved the issue. Our approach is to make it impossible to send a message that is not secure (signed and encrypted). We also have a decentralized registry of encryption keys.

I would like to try something novel (and not really art based) with NFTs. Ideally using Cardano and/or Ethereum (basically want Ethereum since it's the most authoritative source, but want something green/low cost, maybe L2). If anyone knows much about the blockchain and wants to try something out, email me.

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar…

I’m interested in learning more about this! Email is in my profile.

I want my offline client to have a plugin system like Anki. Powerful plugins will want to manipulate the DOM directly. They can't do this if I'm using a virtual DOM, which is what Blazor uses. (VDOM updates will overwrite any plugin DOM changes.) There are Fable bindings to React, but of course that also uses a VDOM. I can't express in words how seriously sad I am to leave F# for the shitshow that is TypeScript. I tr…

No luck with Feliz either? https://zaid-ajaj.github.io/Feliz/

Hm, I haven't tried it, but from the docs it targets Elmish and React, both of which use a VDOM, which sadly eliminates it as a possibility.

I’m working on a search engine crawled by users themselves. If I think about it, I'm not interested in 99% of the web. Therefore I don't need to deal with exhaustively crawling the entire web. Hypothetically, if I could access only the sites visited by the HN crowd, that would be fine by me. Somebody in an art community might feel similarly. If there were some metric the crawlers could use to rate a page (time spent…

I would like to figure out if it's possible to do DNA sequencing at home. Like detect Covid virus or other viruses. The idea is to get a nanopore MinION, and some library kits, flow cells, learn how to extract DNA and a computer. I know how it all works.

What's your opinion of the PineTime watch?

The idea is great! The hardware is a little less to my tastes: the one I picked up has a GPS unit, plus a display that can stay on for days (weeks?) on a single battery charge, plus it's readable in the sunlight. Otherwise I think there will be a fair share of software reuse between the projects.

You might also be interested in https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os which runs on nRF52-based hardware (there may be eInk-based variants as well)

I'm ideating around productivity and todo lists, I'd love to talk with and bounce ideas with any UX designers interested in the space! Email in profile :)

One thing I've been looking for is a simple to-do list app that allows sharing/syncing cross platform. There are some nice and simple to do list apps (eg. Notally on Android) that have no syncing. Then there are some platform specific solutions (eg. the Apple's Notes app) that work well on platform. I've been looking for something just to share a shopping list with my SO, and all I could find were elaborate SaaS prod…

Sounds like something todoist should well be able to handle: https://todoist.com/ They have been around for years but they really focus on being just 1 thing, a good to-do list manager. Sharing lists/tasks amongst people is as far down the collaboration rabbit hole as they went.

If your use case is really just groceries there is even an app just for sharing shopping lists with others (some friends use it and like it, personally for me it felt overkill): https://www.getbring.com/en/home

Well, it's not programming-related, but here goes...

I'm building a cooperative hands-on workspace in Brooklyn in an old warehouse. I have lots of interests that require space and tooling (old motorcycles/cars, woodworking, etc), and lots of friends in a similar boat (with fabrication, music, art, etc). I spent the last 6-8 months searching for a suitable space that I could actually afford, and finally found one about a month ago.

I'm in the process of gutting most of it (it's in gnarly condition) and rebuilding it to suit what I'm trying to do. If there's anyone here who lives in NYC, is good with their hands or wants to be, and is intrigued by the idea of getting a bunch of highly motivated and creative people together in one spot to build Cool Shit (whatever that may look like), feel free to get in touch.

My email is in my bio :)
