There are two such projects (both are not active anymore) that I was hoping at the time to get some feedback, good or bad

1. Centask - flexible task manager fully integrated with gmail (I am still using it)

Original post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21458907

Best video explainer I could came up with - https://youtu.be/RBBPbIkgWUU

2. Postwaves - social media with distributed moderation, I lately realize the algorithm is very similar to tiktok, except that for tiktok video's you vote by how long you watch a video and not by actual vote (much harder to get)

Video explainer - https://youtu.be/mtZKUF6lyyg

Let the crickets be heard (I know I am bad merketer)

https://nodablock.com/nft/ - An "NFT visualiser" to see how NFT Tokens are transferred between wallets.

Can see a contract activity, but also see if some weird interactions are going on.On the side it creates a dashboard with some statistics. Probably not ready for prime yet, but my chance to test the idea and get feedbacks

https://SimplifyRecipe.com The people who use it, love it, but I’m still learning how to tell the story well. The iOS shortcut instantly turns any recipe page into a consistent, usable cooking experience. I’m open to any feedback/ideas about how to tell that story better!

This is great. Love the idea.

Finding the recipe in a blog post has become a meme at this point, so this tool is invaluable.

I tried it with my favourite sourdough recipe and it didn't handle HTML encoded apostrophes. They display as 's

I imagine other HTML encoded entities might also be handled this way.

With regards to the story, I think you should lean heavily on how bad recipe blog posts are. They try to tell you their whole life story before getting to the actual recipe. Your tool removes all the rubbish and cruft.

It didn't flop, but awhile back I created https://findkismet.com to help introduce HN users to each other. We sure could use an influx of new users! It's free and has cost me more to run than it has ever made in revenue.

I've been a member since when you first announced it I think. I think I got maybe one email reply from someone wanting to help me, and to be honest I've never been that motivated to reply to help anyone.

These both might be me problems rather than issues with Kismet, but there you have it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/656280/Fractus/ Simple arcade-style game. I ran out of steam developing this. The gameplay and UI need work, but I thought the graphics were interesting. All the units are rendered as Mandelbrot and Julia sets on the GPU. Parameters are varied in real time to make the fractals look like they are moving and swimming. Another fun thing is the audio effects were made with an electric g…

You might get some more eyes on your game if you released it on Itch. It seems to me that it would fit better with the gamejam scene than general consumption. With my amateur game design hat on (discard if you please): I think that the game could be much improved with a drum track to make playing the game feel more zen. I get the vibe that it isn't a game that you "play" but more of a time killer. It would be extra c…

Thanks! great advice, totally agree. I did want more of a musical experience.

I have a Substack about books and writing. Topics include rhythm, suspension of disbelief, lessons from reading over a hundred short stories, as well as the analysis of several novels.

There is an occasional short story or piece of serialized fiction as well, usually horror, fantasy, supernatural, literary, or “other.”

Eg, an analysis of Less Than Zero by the author of American Psycho https://barbariangrunge.substack.com/p/notes-on-less-than-ze...

I’m an introvert – made an app to help maintain connections with people. Landing page is at https://communiqai.com and it's also on the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.mtc.ga . CommuniqAI is an intelligent tool for scheduling and automating SMS text messages, calls and email. It’ll help you stay in touch with those who mean the most to you—and it’ll be there for you through life’s many…

I'd use this but alas I'm on iOS at the minute.

I'd love to do this for iOS! But it's unlikely Apple would approve the features of the app, though Google has.

https://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.

Are you on mobile? There is a second column with flipped coordinates that is offscreen if the phone is in portrait mode. I suggest that you try to browse the page in landscape mode.

https://destroycovidgame.com/ - a quarantine friendly cooperative board game I developed with a friend of mine

The idea was to make a board game you can play with your friends during the quarantine period even if you are not in the same place. Unfortunately it only works with 4 players and because it is an "escape room" like game you can only play it once. We developed an app for it in Flutter. It was the most fun project I have ever worked on, too bad nobody wanted to buy it :)
