A place to connect the books you want to read with friends who already own them, and vice-versa. Imagine a distributed library composed of your friends’ books. Encouraging sharing with friends and starting conversations about topics you might never have considered having not known they were into the same books as you. Very rough draft but it has the core functionality, even if it’s a bit cumbersome. https://opnshlf.c…

love the idea! I would have registered if it weren't using passkey. is there a reason you chose this for user verification? I've never used it and am hesitant to adopt technologies that give chrome more control over the browser market

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,…

This is such a first world problem. It's normalized in many 3rd world countries to give and receive cash (red envelopes). Directly not giving money and resorting to gift cards (and roundabout methods like these) just, doesn't make sense to my third world brain is all I'm saying.

>This is such a first world problem.

Indeed it seems that way. It's kind of funny and sad at the same time when people get frustrated over such things.

My own photogrammetry pipeline because I'm fascinated by the tech (automatically create 3d models from photos). There are also a huge number of commercial applications but I haven't addressed one well enough yet. https://beholder.vision So far I've built a first pass of the pipeline using C++/CUDA and used it to power a SaaS and desktop photogrammetry app (free for personal non-commercial use).

I would love if someone would make a photometry app that ingests video (such as iPhone video of my house or drone footage of my property) and outputs a 3D gaussian splatting model. I want it just for fun, but I’m sure it to real estate agents!

Well, you can just extract the frames from the video and save them as PNGs. I am not sure though if iPhone videos contain the metadata necessary for photogrammetry model generation (camera angle, etc.).

I'm working on https://quickchart.io/ , a web API for generating chart images. I've expanded it to a WYSIWYG chart editor at https://quickchart.io/chart-maker/ , which lets you create an endpoint that you can use to generate variations of custom charts. This is useful for creating charts quickly, or using them in places that don't support dynamic charting (email, SMS, various app plugins, etc). I messed around with s…

API fuzzer built, currently supporting generating data from jsonschema but now expanding into also fuzzing grpc apis based on protobuf files.

It's fun and I don't think LLM with all the uncertainty would fit as well since you want to cover the whole input space.

Hope to charge 99$ or something per year for it but I don't know if anyone would pay for it :)

well, the secret will come out at the moment they google up that lagniappe jewelry.

Interesting question to me, as I was focusing on AI for most of my career but got burnt out. Getting back to more traditional software engineering was a bliss. Right now, I'm working on our web scraping API SaaS (https://scrapingfish.com/). What I found mildly surprising and amusing is how web scraping happens to have one common thing with AI: you hypothesize on something, run an experiment, draw conclusions, iterate.
