I've posted before, but https://beatyourbookie.app/ is what I've been working on for a while. The website is for tracking betting lines and finding arbitrage and +EV bets across sports betting sites. I've been hooked on the idea that there are inefficiencies in sports betting markets that can be taken advantage of, especially in betting on live events and so this started as me just collecting minute by minute odds da…

Love the site and the idea, but struggling to understand the criteria needed for a +EV bet. Would one site need to have a positive moneyline bet on team A, then another site have a positive moneyline bet on team B... assuming team A & B are playing each other?

I have a few: https://www.ytemail.com/ - e-mail notifications for YouTube uploads. I was in the 0.01% that used and liked e-mails, and built this after Google killed the e-mails. If you want to use, please get in touch, I'm happy to onboard free users if the amount of notifications you'll get isn't big. https://github.com/kassner/whattocook - Recipe chooser, but it works the other way around you'd expect.

That's really funny, I have very similar story with a personal finance tool that I wrote for myself and "maintain" since 7 years or something and thought about writing a blog post like you. Thanks for sharing!

It's probably closer to 75% baked: https://wordwhile.com/

The core game mechanic is an endless word-finding game, where it is possible to save up letters to spell some very high scoring words. There is also a 5-minute mode for people who need an ending. Oh, and a 2-player versus mode that virtually no one wants to play, according to anonymous stats.

I'm still ironing out bugs and adding some features, but it's coming along.

On-screen keyboard for Linux mobile with next word prediction and gesture recognition: https://github.com/pentamassiv/keyboard

I wrote it to scratch my own itch so I can type faster on my Pinephone. I had no idea about writing Rust code, language models or Wayland protocols and ended up writing a master thesis about it. The language model used n-grams and was generated from Wikipedia. The idea was that everybody is able to easily generate a model for their own language. The keyboard worked fine, but the language model was way too big.

I got side tracked writing an input simulation library that works on all platforms. Once I am done with that, I'll get back to the keyboard and make it usable again.

Ooh i got several of those. The one I like the most is this: https://github.com/obaqueiro/dominoparty The idea is to make a minimalistic tabletop online multiplayer game engine that only draws the "pieces" and controls the player-hidden pieces but doesnt enforce game logic. I tried to simulate the environment I had when playing dominoes with my friends in real life. The idea of the engine is that you can change the "…

That sounds similar to tabletop simulator, but lowering the barrier to entry seems like a great way to go for this sort of thing.

https://shipscoop.com/ I've been using Shipscoop for years now to the delight of many clients, but we've yet to finish its "go live" flow. That said if people want to try it out, it works quite well for turning git logs into weekly status reports

I tried getting the sample report but when I fill in my email address, I get error "We're sorry, but something went wrong."

https://muso.fm An internet radio aggregator & player featuring music radio stations organised by genre rather than location. There are tonnes of great music focused and specialist stations out there. TuneIn or RadioGarden don’t really make it easy to find the best stations for a given genre though. I wanted to build it as a web app that’s usable as a PWA on mobile but have had lots of issues streaming audio reliably…

This is super cool, I am inspired!

Reddit clone: https://github.com/ferg1e/comment-castles https://www.commentcastles.org For moderation, a user whitelist sits in front of the typical content blacklist, which introduces some interesting properties.

Not really a Reddit clone, as I don't see subreddits, but it looks like a solid start toward that goal!
