https://mmabetsharp.com A website to help make informed bets on the UFC. It presents a lot of relevant data if you're serious about MMA sports betting. I made this during the pandemic and tried to promote it through Reddit and Twitter, but it mostly fell flat and ran out of steam. I only scratched the surface of what I intended here. The data on the site is a bit outdated since neither I nor anyone has used it in a w…

This is rad. I'd love to see it updated with current data. I've tried to bet on MMA with mixed results, but ultimately tried to find a data driven approach to place wagers. My approach would net me tons of open browser tabs trying to track down stats about each fighter :(

I really like what you've done.

https://sequencer.party

It is a modular audio/video/midi environment that supports Google Docs-like multiplayer, and supports third-party plugins (a format called Web Audio Modules 2 -- like VST or AU but for the web).

One of the parts I'm most proud of is the MIDI sequencer plugin, where you can script a custom MIDI sequencer in a few hundred lines of javascript:

https://editor.sequencer.party/sessions/0e87d610c4d08d750fb7...

Still a lot to do on it, but in it's current format I've had some fun jam sessions where people sequence my hardware synthesizers over MIDI, and listen to the result over twitch.

Longer-term it will have thousands of samples, many more WAM plugins built in and templates available in the public library, integration into freesound and archive.org

I've previously made two synth-related apps for iOS (Synth Modes and Spectrum synthesizer bundle).

https://github.com/jameslawlor/reddit-playlists I made a bot last summer to generate and update weekly Spotify playlists from 100 or so music subreddits based on the top submissions of that week. Update operates entirely through a GitHub action so no resource spending. I don’t often finish my side projects so was pretty happy to have something finally usable and shareable, it’s been fun showing friends!

I see in the repo you mention wanting to add support for archiving. I'd really like to see a sort of master playlist for a genre. Just keep adding the songs from each weekly playlist to the master genre playlist, then the "date added" field could be used for looking at the playlist historically. You lose duplicates this way, so maybe not the best archival strategy, but with the master playlist you could have hours of music instead of an hour.

I made a drum machine that I think is pretty cool - https://main.d28ilu31tegyi1.amplifyapp.com/ I taught myself how to program 15+ years ago because I wanted to make music software. Fast forward 15 years, and I've spent my whole career as a designer for B2B Saas. I wanted to re-learn some development stuff and going back to my original inspiration seemed like a good idea. (Still a bit in progress and sorry doesn't wo…

https://trycereal.com - Membership platform for creators that want their own site. We made Cereal to help content creators find more independence in running their own content business, by centralizing their content on their own site and offering subscription/monetization. It's been great, creators are able to monetize their customers without being on a 3rd party platform with ridiculous fees, or base their entire inc…

Interesting project! You write that creators can monetize without having to be on a 3rd party platform, but on you pricing page it shows that clients have to pay extra to use their own domain - so how are you not a 3rd party platform?

Thanks! Great question, and I should have been more clear in my terminology. We're more like a site builder + hosting provider than a general platform. The difference is between us hosting them directly i.e. Squarespace, and their presence on a platform where they are in a larger pool of creators and their branding is secondary i.e. Patreon/YouTube.

The key is that even on our lowest tier there is no cross site discovery, the only presence of our branding is in the footer, and their membership list is exportable at any time. As a result the creators feel and communicate that this is entirely "their" site, if that makes sense.

I (significantly) restored Palm/HP's webOS services, include the SDK, (partial) App Catalog, and a variety of proxied, re-created back-end services to keep devices like the Palm Pre and HP Touchpad functional: https://www.webosarchive.org

Cool! Brings back memories...

https://github.com/shish/rosettaboy The same gameboy emulator rewritten in C++, Go, Nim, PHP, Cython, Python, Rust, and Zig (and WIP typescript); mostly to teach myself the languages and to compare and contrast their idioms. Also, when taken with a very large grain of salt, usable as a language benchmark (As with all benchmarks, there are lots of caveats - but as far as I’m aware this is unique in being “the same cod…

Is the github language summary indicative of relative LoC between implementations, or are there other factors? C++ 24.9% Python 19.5% Rust 12.5% PHP 9.5% Zig 9.4% Nim 8.0% Other 16.2% And very interesting! Would love to read (a post?) on how you saw the language differences.

At least for the python percentage, it is skewed as both `py` and `pxd` contain python code.
