A 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.

"A simple, self-hosted RSVP system for parties" https://joinmobilizon.org/en/ is the fediverse version of this

Nice! Thanks for sharing! The fact that it's fediverse is unfortunately a non-starter for almost all of my friends

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Trying to keep it "realistic" in the sense of how the structures are set up (bank reporting regulations, offshore companies, shell companies etc) but I'm optimizing for fun. It's an isometric Transport Tycoon-styled game but instead of building physical infrastructure you create financial connections between nodes like drug op -> cash business -> bank -> offshore company -> real estate investment. This has been my de…

This is amazing! Is there a way to subscribe for updates on this?

Working to get the Steam page up soon and I'll be posting a Show HN

We’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 ev…

I’m having trouble understanding how to use the app! I am overwhelmed by the amount of configuration, and not sure how I am supposed to actually add activities or diary entries, for example.

Thank you for saying so. We want to make this interface easier to get started with with something like an onboarding flow or the SwiftUI TipKit.

Without knowing exactly what you want to use the app for, I’ll link you to our help page with some tutorials: https://ntl.ai/reflect/support

Currently the flow to tracking is to create a form template (called a Reflection template) to track a category of metrics such as Mood. In that template you add metrics like Happiness, Fatigue, etc. Once the template is created you have a form available that you can fill out at your convenience. You can design another template like Supplements with metrics for specific dosages, for example. Your history can be visualized and those metrics can be correlated shortly after.

Every time you fill out an entry you have the option of adding notes, which can serve as a diary functionality. Those notes are searchable in your history.

Let us know any other feedback you have, we’d really like to make this as usable as possible.

Would you be open to having a call to chat about what you are looking for and your experience using the app?

You know how sometimes the gift you really want is cash or a gift card, but people often prefer to give you physical gifts that you can open and admire?

Imagine a line of faux jewelry that is marked up to real-jewelry prices and that, unbeknownst to the gift giver, comes with a hidden gift card code. So somebody asks you what you'd like for your birthday and you say, "Oh, I'd really like some Lagniappe brand jewelry," and they go out and buy you a $50 necklace that's actually worth only a buck or two, but has a gift card code worth $45 on the underside of the box.

You thank them profusely for the lovely necklace, they feel good for having bought you something besides a gift card, and you feel good that you can put $45 toward a new washing machine.

I have been frustrated with how project management tools make it hard for engineering teams to see the impact of their work on the product. I built Beacon (https://anvilyard.com/beacon), to fix this. Instead of focusing on moving a ticket to done, I am trying to get teams to think of how their tickets get the team closer to a product goal. I know there are a lot of cultural elements at play in an organization that affect how teams measure their progress, but I am trying to shape the tools we all use to make it easier to focus on end goals, not just features.

Isn't it super likely the gift buyer will realize what's up when making the purchase?

There would have to be two websites or something.
