#172Here is my post from last year which didn’t get much attention on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33507260 It analyzes how much sugar is in the food based on nutrition facts data scraped from Walmart. It also shows relation between amount of sugar and rating.
This is incredibly useful! Is it possible to make this into a simple (single page) shopping list? Where I type my shopping list, product recommends substitutes with lower sugar — and gives me distribution (histogram) of main ingredients for my shopping list. That would be life changing.
This is definitely possible. I’m not sure if we’re going to have time for this as we’re occupied by work on Scraping Fish but we shared the code for scraping nutrition facts data from Walmart on github: https://github.com/pawelkobojek/scrapingfish-blog-projects/t.... Feel free to take it and build such app/website on top of it.

#173https://app.dev-esc.com/new_game/ - an online escape room for developer teams. I aimed to make a team-building experience that was a bit different. unashamedly geeky: you’ll need puzzling and some coding to solve the challenges.
Fully remote for teams of 1-8ish; free to explore. Requires a computer, although you can explore on mobile/tablet.
Originally it was free to play - I got a fair few plays off my HN post, now I have a trickle of paying customers.

#174https://confluo.app - A productivity assistant app that instead of planning your day in advance dynamically suggests you tasks to pick based on the time of the day.
Planning ahead never worked for me as something unexpected always came along. Hence I wanted an app that I can open, go through a list of task suggestions and pick the one I like.
In addition, I included features like timer, pomodoro, and virtual co-working that helped me stay productive during the lockdowns.
I also wanted to track how many hours I was working and which skill I was spending my time on, so I also those features.
I shared it on HN, hoping people will like it. But it never made it to new page :(

#175https://flipcoords.com/ The web tool will switch the position of latitude and longitude in text. It's a common issue in GIS industry as there's no agreement which order is the correct one (and tools/software want one or the other). The initial Show HN dicussion derailed into which order is the correct one, second-guessing why the tool could be any useful to anybody and it went downhill (well, flagged) from there.
Not sure it's working. I keep hitting the flip button but nothing is happening.

#176Wire RSS Reader https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wire-rss-reader/id1438331258
An RSS reader that caches webpages locally, so you can read the article in a webview with native-like performance instead of just that text that comes through in the RSS feed.

#177Dollero - https://dollero.app/ I created a personal budgeting web app which doesn't store any of your financial information in the cloud. Instead your budget data is stored locally in your browser with IndexedDB and is sync'd peer to peer with your other devices using WebRTC.
Is this open sourced?

#178https://lite.markee.io/?utm_source=startups.fyi
I've been learning video streaming tech for the last year (ffmpeg, webrtc, all the great videos available of SF Video Technology - https://www.youtube.com/@SFVideoTechnology) and I haven't been able to come up with a remotely interesting product idea. When I came across this, I thought it was the most clever SaaS video tech I've seen in a while. I'm probably dating myself but I'm certain TokBox had something similar 10 years ago. In whichever flavor markee is doing this, it was a refreshing idea to see.
I have no affiliation to this product or engineering team.

#179https://scipipe.org - A pipeline tool for shell commands by a declarative flow-based API in Go
Github link: https://github.com/scipipe/scipipe
There are many pipeline tools for shell commands, but a majority has one or more limitations in their API which makes certain complex pipelines impossible or really hard to write.
We were pushing the limits of all the tools we tried, so developed our own, and implemented it in Go, with a declarative API for defining the data flow dependencies, instead of inventing yet another DSL. This has allowed us great flexibility in developing also complex pipelines, e.g. combining parameter sweeps nested with cross-validation implemented as workflow constructs.
SciPipe is also unique in providing an audit report for every single output of the workflow, in a structured JSON format. A helper tool allows converting these reports to either an HTML report, a PDF, or a Bash script that will generate the one accompanying output file from scratch.
An extra cool things is that, because the audit reports live alongside output files, if you run a scipipe workflow that uses files generated by another scipipe workflow, it will pick up also all the history for the input files generated by this earlier workflow, meaning that you get a 100% complete audit report, even if your analysis spans multiple workflows!

#180For the past three years I have been working on a desktop app for creating step by step tutorials, guides, documentation, walkthroughs etc. It captures your workflows while you work and outputs it in one of 7 formats, such as pdf, doc, json, markdown and more.
