This is a big concern for us. Fortunately, we are self-funded and only answer to ourselves. I’d love to hear more about your experience - please feel free to email me (info in profile) if you’re not comfortable sharing publicly.

Two easy anecdotes, have seen it play out similarly multiple times over the past decade:

- has in the sales pipeline. Client wants an invasive feature for reasons. No chance to say no, decides to build it due to .

- has a platform that deals with anonymous . sues to take down mean and sue the user for defamation. No chance to defend, need to give in to survive the lawsuit.

Those cases will come and they will hurt. It's probably healthy to up front think about how you would deal with it (and assume a worst-case-life-or-death scenario).

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!

If you’ve not seen it, there’s a vscode extension called CodeTour that does something similar, could be good inspiration (or maybe you already do better!)

I'm working on Edna https://edna.arslexis.io/ It's a web-based scratchpad and note taker for developers and power users. It sits somewhere between Obsidian and Simplenote. It's particularly optimized for keyboard navigation: Ctrl + K / ⌘ + K to open note navigator where you can quickly create new note, switch between notes, delete notes. Even though it runs in the browser, when running on Chrome you can store notes i…

Is it inspired from this? https://heynote.com/

Nix-based PXE booting. It can boot different images than your NixOS-based system configurations, but the main focus has been to support NixOS. We even have a system which is able to scan your hardware pre-boot, and then launch the initial ramdisk with a kernel which has all the required drivers pre-installed. https://github.com/majbacka-labs/nixos.fi

That is VERY cool!

I'm working on a money laundering simulator video game.

This is actually a really cool idea. I work in the fintech industry and a simulator where we (employees sitting through boring compliance training presentations) could play as money-launderers and attempt to launder cash through the various schemes like layering etc would be a fucking awesome learning experience. I think you'd have a ready market there.

In one week we have our anniversary for CloudCamping - a property management software for campsites. It is targeted for the European market at the moment, mainly the german market, because there is not much digital infrastructure in this space yet. In a nutshell: campsite administrators can create and configure their campsite and enable guest to book a place online.

https://majorpager.com - Very simple on-call rotation scheduling for small teams!!! I even toyed with the idea of putting a `#noai` hashtag on the homepage.
