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.

Said someone living in a comfortable country with a stable government.

You can’t seriously believe this right?

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…

We use IcePanel for a similar functionality but like all diagramming solutions it suffers if you don’t constantly feed it. If you can solve that problem you’re definitely on to something.

I think I have a solution for that but can't spill all the beans ;) I love IcePanel btw, awesome product and awesome team.

A C-based graphics engine/raycasting engine to make 90's games like Wolfenstein3D (1992) - but on a never-before seen scale. The scale is RNG worlds like Minecraft. I've never seen that before with a Raycaster. Here is my progress so far (I've had a month break) https://github.com/con-dog/chunked-z-level-raycaster/blob/ma... Not for profit, just for fun and exploration

Wow, this is really cool. Do you take inspiration from or have you looked at the original Wolfenstein3D code?

A simple, non tech method to increase agreement in online arguments.

I’ve gotten to some degree of a protocol, surprisingly.

I had made this LLM prompt (about a year ago?) wildly useful in helping me think.

It’s helped with everything from realizing you have burnout, relationship issues, arguments with family members, Mondays

I made another version, which showed its “thinking”.

I quit my job last December to start an AI x AdTech startup which didn't work out: we discovered a similar piece of tech was about to get released by Google AdX. So now it's back to finding ideas, I'm sure there are niche problems that can be addressed using AI agents, one idea we have is developing an AI agent enabling content creators to better connect with their community.

I've working on Colanode, an open-source & local-first Slack and Notion alternative that you can self host. You can use Colanode for real-time chat, as a knowledge center, project management or file storage. As a local-first application, Colanode offers full offline support, allowing you to work even when you’re not connected to the internet or the server is not available. You can host it in any environment (with minimal dependencies), giving you full ownership and control over your data.

Definitely want this kind of thing.

Thanks! If you or other interested people in this thread are in a position to pay for it, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you!

I've been inspired to build my own browser mmo game after seeing hordes.io, which is made by a single person. Launched a prototype with, for now, only basic movement over at http://everwilds.io . Instead of working in a silo I've decided to develop in public and launched as soon as possible to slowly gather an audience. So far the Everwilds.io Discord server already gained 1 member ;) I'll share the link incase other…

Which tools are u using?

VSCode, TypeScript, Three.js. But I am about to remove Three.js and use WebGPU instead, I don't like the 800kb+ size of Three.js. Also will do some experimenting with C++ and WebAssembly and see how that goes.
