Occasionally I've felt a frustration configuring email, so I created a simpler way to set up notifications: https://batsign.me

#102"Oh By"[1] It's a "universal shortener" which means it doesn't just shorten URLs - it shortens anything and turns it into a short, recognizable code. Or, what would be a recognizable code if anyone used it :) Here's an example: https://0x.co/examples.html ... and for some reason I am still enamored with the " send a text to someone in the future " use-case.

I work in abuse (prevention), and you might want to change the name of that website since it is very similar (edit distance 1) from some really bad stuff - unfortunately i can't share more details for obvious reasons :)

#104https://grueplan.com/ - I recently finished an initial version of a social event planning app. Idea is to have an alternative from Facebook events to quickly:
- Create
- Share
- Collaborate
On group plans. I eventually want to add in simple commenting + note taking features, but for now you can register, create/edit plans, and share those plans with other people.

By the way, your website access is already blocked by certain ISPs and marked as "dangerous".

#107Windward, my first book of photographs:

I’m glad I can finally point to a book and say “I made this” with no excuses. Don’t care if it sells. Just happy it is finished!
Back in the mid 2000s I was invited to come to Boston in the first Y-Combinator batch. Because of border and money issues I could not go and I regretted it as I had a project related to visual art and photographs that I wanted to make.
But in a way it was a blessing because instead I concentrated on photography and visual work which is more compatible with the way my brain works and which I later came to understand makes me happier.
I am thankful for this website and community of kind people interested in technology living on a [light blue dust dot][1] in the universe. I have learned so much here and continue to do so, and maybe I will make that project eventually, crappy code and all :)
As Hawking says in the Pink Floyd song, all we need to do is to make sure we keep talking.
Peace.

#108I tried to train an adversarial neural network to play idle games.
After several days of work it still wasn't learning anything, but I don't care.

#110https://gen.go350.com/login https://github.com/62726164/ed25519-login I built a website that uses public Ed25519 keys for user authentication (rather than passwords). Users sign the current Unix Epoch time (with the private Ed25519 key) and paste that base64 encoded signature into the login form. I don't care if the idea succeeds or not, I use it for myself. I like simple, secure things and I feel webauthn is too com…
For extra security, the website should generate an extra nonce to go with the current time, otherwise there's a window where the signature could be reused to login again (maybe to another site).
