I'm working https://annotate.dev , a tool inspired by the Stripe documentation, to let anyone create step by step code walkthroughs. Here's a sample of a walkthrough you can create: https://annotate.dev/p/hello-world/learn-oauth-2-0-by-buildi... Would love to hear any feedback thoughts!

This is a really clever idea, and worked great on mobile as well. Is there a way to choose to display the code window underneath the documentation instead of on top?

Thanks for the kind words!

Not currently, can you elaborate why you'd want to the code window at the bottom?

I’m building a crawler for remote job postings. As well as a daily email that emails the latest remote jobs found in the past 24 hours to people who sign up: https://bloomberry.com/remote-jobs/ So far, there’s more than 1500 subscribers after a month and a half

This is fantastic, I just subscribed!

I had a similar idea of scraping lever, greenhouse and linkedin to get informed of absolute latest senior software engineer jobs. I also wanted to correlate to past job posts to rule out duplicates/reposts, and to analyze against what I am looking for. Some jobs rule out certain states and timezones. Other jobs are primarily java which is my only hard-no.

Long-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.…

What's a deadpan switch?

I’m working on an app that ties a tech stack to psychological configurations so we can stop the “How many times did you mention Typescript” game on resumes and applicant tracking systems. The result is that HR can find diamonds in the applicants who might not match the precise keywords but can nonetheless do the job.

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,…

I’ve been working on a synthetic DNA assembly company. Basically, I figured out how to assemble DNA for people at a fraction of what it normally costs, so they give me a sequence, and then I make it in real life for them, then ship it to them. Most of my customers have been AI protein designers, ironically. Turns out SOMEBODY has to wrangle atoms in the real biological world and that’s me! After almost a year of work…

How the fuck does one "assemble DNA" lol

Sorry but that's so outside of my understanding it reads like pure science fiction

(I'm sure it's a thing, I'm just a moron)

Maybe it's ChatGPT speaking, although would it be making such obvious mistakes?

oops, deadpan -> deadman

It's not a perfect switch, but the idea is that you might have things you would only rather release when you're dead.
