I've been working on https://growfa.st . A lot of times, websites suggest I sign up for a 5-10% discount/promo code. That might lead to a sale and they get one more user to their email list. GrowFast takes that a step furtver by offering a widget that provides different tasks for the user to complete in order to receive the promo code. The tasks range between user generated content leading to more organic traffic, us…

I like the effect on the email signup but it appears to make my android 14 phone/firefox mobile cough blood.

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…

Hey, just a suggestion, I thought of doing this a while ago but for children books , never went on to actually do it but I definitely see a need in there, * Children books are quite expensive * Most of those you get over them in a couple minutes to an hour * Your kids want new books every single day Buying 5-10 and regularly trading them with other parents seems like a neat solution.

I like this idea. Would you imagine the functionality being much different to what is already there? Or is it more a difference of framing?

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

Thanks!

I chose it because I wanted to learn more about passkeys and I liked the idea that I wouldn’t have to deal with private credentials themselves; just save a public key to my database. I use both KeePassXC and Bitwarden and they’re slowly getting support for passkeys (currently only on desktop).

I briefly had the ability to add a new passkey to the same account but wanted to keep it simple for my friends and not confuse them more. If that’s something that could help I’d be open to adding it in again.

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!

can this be self-hosted?

Nice app! Just downloaded however there's a bug where regardless of the focus time I set (when the app first launches) it always counts down from 20mins. If I edit the focus time in settings it will change. I'm on an M1 OS 14.1.1

Thanks for reporting - will fix in the next update!

This is fixed now

what if the software misses something?

can you give a specific instance of a sequence that would be dangerous in a cloning strain and not screenable?

You are asking for a counterexample but I think s/he was asking for what assurances the software can provide. Is it proven to be perfect, bug free in both specification and the physical analysis?

Remember compared to you assume we are all laymen.

It would be interesting for us on the armchairs how such software even works. Is it like (ahem!) antivirus software looking for patterns?
