https://pastmaps.com I'm building Pastmaps - striving to eventually be the world's largest online collection of old maps, aerials, and photos all packaged into a public historical research platform that's as easy to use as Google Maps. This has been a labor of love now for about a year, but I still have a huge mountain to climb to realize the full vision. Give it a try and give me your harsh criticisms - that's the g…

Criticism: This is going to suck. Too much of my time, that is. This is super cool, thank you for doing this!

A new YouTube app/player, for my kids. It allows us to control the algorithm. It’s all LLM translating to YouTube search queries under the hood. Visually it looks the same. The suggested videos come from predefined buckets on topics they love. E.g. 33% fun math, 33% DIY engineering, 33% creative activities. Video recommendations that have a banned word in the title/desc don't get displayed e.g. MrBeast, anything with…

sent you mail, I would love to be associated with this project. I was looking for a solution for some time, at least one which allows to restrict the content from the main youtube. Youtube kids app they have is a joke.

I’m building a way for developers to easily deploy open source applications (Postgres, redis, sentry, elastic search, etc), plus have a full heroku like workflow for their own applications, all within their kubernetes cluster, with what I hope is a super intuitive and friendly UI.

I'm hacking away on something I've built recently to improve the native "Publish to Web" feature from Google Docs.

I am building a kanji learning webapp (soon to be a PWA) using open dictionary data, indexeddb, and vue.

https://shodoku.app/

It is almost feature complete, but good enough for my private use, as I’m using it my self to study kanji. I have maybe a three or four more weekends until it is completely finished, with dark-mode, data backups, input by radicals, etc.

I'm working on a serverless VPN that works without relay even for those behind symmetric NAT (most of the time). I'm not aware that it exists at the moment and would love to be proven wrong.

So, like NAT punching? A rendezvous server for both the parties to communicate so they can establish a connection?
