#172https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-tab-a... I built this for personal use, but maybe someone else also finds it useful. It's a Firefox add-on that arranges YouTube video tabs based on the runtime of the video. I often hoard many YouTube tabs and at some point I want to either watch the shortest ones or play something lengthy so I can do household chores while listening to the video. This makes fin…
> Chrome Web Store has a publishing fee Excuse me, what?! Everytime I think I'm unhappy with Mozilla, I find way more disturbing things at Google. Cool Add-On btw, I'll try it!
Well TIL

It's $5, but still...

A weird and cumbersome web based synthesizer.
In the examples below, double click on a node to trigger a signal in the circuit and produce sound.
Here is a "song" that a friend made with it: https://alex.miller.garden/sonic-circuit/?2.9.C4.m.1.15,6.9....
And here is "Happy Birthday": https://alex.miller.garden/sonic-circuit/?3.1.G3.m.1.24,4.1....

#175Its a small circuit that uses quantum noise to decide a coin flip. You use it to break the deterministic timeline your life is stuck on. However, it only works if you always abide by outcome no matter what.
LOL, I just posted this yesterday, a magic 8 ball seeded with a quantum-generated seed from https://app.quantumize.io/sign-up

#176https://ant.care/
https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants
I'm making a digital ant farm. SimAnt + Tamagotchi that runs in real-time. Written in Rust/WASM/Bevy
The goal is to give people cute ants that do cute ant things 24/7, ask people to look after their ants and feed them once-per-day, and then deny the ability to provide ant care unless users engage in a breathwork/meditation exercise.
I would love help. I'm very much so in over my head. I have a billion things to add and the number one demotivator is not having people to tinker with, bounce ideas off of, and get hyped alongside. https://discord.gg/pg5Tu68cdW come say hi!

#177Hah I never have a thing to show off.... yay unemployment? I made a little thing to count and track how many people are surfing on surfline's webcams to learn a bit about ml/ai, computer vision and deploying these things. I think its neat, and the data is fun in a nerdy way. Not sure what to do with it now. Its been cool, I had to get my own dataset together for it to work. Check it out at and click around dp52hy5y2z…
This is really cool. Maybe you could collect the data and make a predictor for how many surfers will show up at a given spot at any point of time during the day. You could record past numbers as well as other factors like weather, time of day, amount of sunlight, etc, and have the model adjust its predictions based on those factors automatically

#178I made this site called Rashomon. It was a "news-betting" market, where you get de-titled articles and bet on their political bias (left, center-left, center, center-right, right), where the political bias was determined from allsides.com. I never fixed all the various bugs and stuff but the idea's there. I pulled some articles in case y'all want to try it out (for about 24 hrs)

#179https://draw.horse This is a drawing toy that takes some inspiration from kidpix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Pix ). It makes amusing (to me anyhow) noises, has some goofy brushes and stamps. You can't save your pictures or print them out, and I haven't gotten around to figuring out some happy medium of using canvas and doing a flood fill.
I love the sound effects

#180https://github.com/mattrighetti/envelope
it’s a cli utility tool to manage/replace .env files.
I was tired of having 3 different .env files in every project folder. They fall out of sync when you’re developing stuff and you only update your .env.local file, only to realise, later on, that you did not update the values in your .env.stage and all the others too.
This cli leverages an sqlite database to abstract away these files. Instead of having multiple .env you can create as many environments as you want (local, stage, prod etc.) and each one can contain multiple key-value elements. I have already implemented some commands that I use day to day but I plan to make some more useful stuff with it.
