I'm working on a vscode plugin that let's you write documentation easier and closer to the code.

#32For the last three years, I've been working on https://onlineornot.com It's uptime monitoring (and status pages) for software teams. In my words, the aim is "monitoring that doesn't suck" - I've worked at companies with proactive monitoring like OnlineOrNot before, and was surprised how little the incumbents are innovating in the space. One customer once told me "f*k , all their system ever did was alert us when we w…
This is a super simple IT problem to solve technically (ping a URL, provide a status HTML page, etc.) but really hard to get right, like your customer comment about a vendor. If done wrong, people will go to their "you had one job" card. How do you handle hosting of your own service and isolation from larger "cloud" or internet issues?
I replicate the service across several AWS regions, and Cloudflare Workers.
At the moment, it's really good at answering "am I down everywhere?", since I can just double check in several other regions.
I recently taught it to answer "Am I down just in this region?" by monitoring across cloud providers in the same location, though it's more of a niche use case (for the people I chat to, anyway)

#33We’re working on a privacy-focused iOS app that enables you to track anything. It’s called Reflect. The app enables you to answer questions like “how does meditation affect my mood” or “how does this new supplement intervention affect my sleep”. We already support detailed visualization and correlation between all of the metrics you track and are working on some very exciting features to make self-guided discovery even easier.
Here is the link to the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reflect-track-anything/id64638...

#35A simple, self-hosted RSVP system for parties, now that FB is no longer a unifying platform for my social circle.
And a "mood meter" mapping app that puts anonymous reports of how folks are feeling on a world map. I don't quite have the skills (yet) to do this latter project, so we'll see how much time I have to dedicate to it.

#36https://www.osomatsu.net/ — a little recipe writing and sharing website that me and my wife (and some close relatives) have been using over the last few years. Have got plenty of ideas to implement on it, but it works well for us as is at the moment. People can request to join for free if it could be useful for them too.

#38https://hyperpaper.me/ – rich, customizable planner pdfs for e-Ink tablets. I have another related project that I'm slowly working on, essentially an RSS reader that sends daily pdf digests/newspapers to your tablet.
Both are very fun and rewarding, and I love building things that help spend less time in front of a (glowing) screen.

#40Still working on my bootstrapped job board SaaS, Niceboard (https://niceboard.co) which I launched about 4 years ago now! Makes launching a job board for your community/association/company super easy, with just a few clicks and Been thinking about adding AI-related features but there isn't that much AI that would really make the product better.
