I’ve been working on a free rss client. It runs as a PWA on mobile phones, and is very simple, and fast.
Don’t even have a landing page yet, but you can sign up for free.

#122Long-term (decades), no-subscription archival storage. Essentially, you buy a block of space, upload your data over time, and it gets distributed when you need it (if you lost a primary backup), or on your death (to friends and relatives, or whoever you choose), or on a specific future date. It's a mashup of a safety deposit box, time capsule, and deadman switch. It's not ready yet, but will be ready in a few weeks.…
How are your clients sure that your storage lasts decades and doesn't end if you lose interest / fail / sell to another company? (They can't, of course, so: how do you convince them?)

#123Last week the Android App Store finally approved my GopherGeyser app! It's used to control our sprinkler controller (over MQTT) to turn your outdoor living space into an animal-themed Bellagio water fountain show / splash pad to entertain kids/dogs in the warm months! :)
It's still pretty basic, but I'm pretty proud of it. Even though it doesn't use AI, I used AI to write the app, generate copy, and generate the image assets, as I didn't care to learn Flutter just for this one app and have no artistic ability.

#125Just for fun, I'm writing an internet forum software from scratch, strongly inspired by phpBB and the likes.
It is split into an Angular UI, C# ASP.NET Core RESTful API and postgres database. I aimed to let EF Core handle the data model in the database and am pleasantly surprised by how well it works. Also updating the database is a breeze with its migrations.
The features of a forum seem easy enough, but I find it difficult to detail it out into the data model at times.

#127Laid off last fall, and while looking for a new role I've been working on an old idea I had for a MIDI sequencing app. It's meant for live electronic music production, so it's not a full DAW for composing and editing tracks or anything like that. It just records notes for different MIDI devices/channels and loops them back over a selected number of beats. There are some other features as well, like an arpeggiator, but it's pretty basic so far. I've been meaning to record a demo video with real audio, but I'm not actually a musician myself so I haven't come up with anything presentable yet.

#128I’m working on a nutrition tracking app for iOS called FitBee (https://fitbee.app). There’s been a huge number of “AI” based products in this space but they’ve all been relatively bad in terms of accuracy and reliability (eg the Humane AI pin demo). At some point I’m sure I’ll introduce some AI based features into the product, but for now I’m focused on making it the fastest and most convenient way of tracking your nutrition.

#129Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
> There would have to be two websites Yes. That... doesn't sound like a very hard technical challenge?
It sounds like a very difficult social challenge though.

#130I'm working on a very experimental music generator:
https://app.bars.ai
(I regret my domain choice). It's free to use and you can play around with it pretty easily.
The idea is that you have a "framework" that you can change for what you want the music generator to produce. You can download the MIDI files it produces as well.
