I'm creating an infinite canvas that has all your organization's code and documentation on it. If you zoom in, you can see the code, if you zoom out you see the big picture. By giving everything a place on the map, it becomes easier to figure out your way through the landscape and understand the systems. Different modes can you show you different things: code age, authorship (bus-factor, is the person still with the…

Cool idea :)

I’m working on two main things right now.

1. I have a cloud platform for the movie industry (although in reality a lot of different industries use it for different things) that allows you to share files and get feedback from your team that I’ve been rewriting in Rust. Didn’t necessarily intend that but I started replacing Apache with Rust and liked it enough that I kept on replacing stuff.

https://www.kollaborate.tv (current version on cloud is not the Rust version, but on-prem is)

2. I work with another company that uses a really rudimentary way of time-tracking employees. So I’m working on a system to use their device MAC addresses to count their hours when they’re connected to work Wi-Fi. I was surprised that such a thing appears to not exist. I’m still working on it so it’s not anywhere public right now.

I've been building Tailcolors lately, a TailwindCSS color palette: https://tailcolors.com

Just recently actually I published a Chrome extension for it too, so you can access and copy all the Tailwind CSS colors directly from an extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tailcolors-tailwind...

In between figuring out what to do after a decade of work on Micro (https://github.com/micro), I started a new project called Reminder which tries to provide a single clean app and API for the Quran, Hadith and names of Allah. Maybe some of you would find it beneficial. It tries to put English first since most of us are non Arabic speaking and cultural from the west.

https://screenmemory.app is my current project as of a year or so. Records your screen continuously and lets you look back at it through a GUI. I use it myself to recap days or weeks at work, mostly.

Anything like this for Linux ?

Not sure to be honest, I know a lot of these tools popped up and swiftly disappeared. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a Linux version still alive though, try searching for "Rewind.ai alternative Linux".

I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera. I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings. I ha…

I'd rather put up with the speeding than aasking for the government to intervene.

Government is already intervening, you think people are going at only 46 kmh because of goodwill?

Super simple business idea validator using AI. https://ideapulse.io

cool idea! i'm a bit curious about the Idea Viability Score. What does it mean?

Thank you :) The Idea Viability Score is a metric that evaluates an idea's likelihood of success based on four key factors: *Market Demand, Competition, User Need, and Feasibility*. It helps assess the market potential, feasibility, and competitive landscape of an idea.
