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…

Any chance of a demo you can show?

I’m working on a parser + dashboard for bank / cc / investment statements. You feed in your docs and you get a dashboard that shows your categorized “flow” of money (think sankey, stacked bar), as well as some simple grouping tools (Show me all grocery spends on my credit card by month. I initially wrote it in Haskell, but I don’t really know Haskell and I didn’t feel very productive with the stack, so I’m reworking…

Seems like you're not the only one, I've seen other people mentioning similar projects in this post

I am still working in my epaper calendars, now making a 10 inch display: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale... More broadly, I’m working on replacing my day job with something more exciting and impactful. I think the most excitement and impact can be found in a startup, so that’s what im trying to get into now!

Nice!

On your site it says "The calendar data can come from one or more calendar providers". Is the connection direct (e.g. data flows from Google to epaper calendar), or via the app installed on the user's phone, or does it need your servers in-between?

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…

This is very interesting. I had the same need a few weeks ago, which resulted in a tiny Golang/OpenCV project (https://github.com/kmmndr/motion-speed). In my use case, we even had champions beating 60 km/h, three times allowed speed

I've been obsessed with making it easier to handle tab overload in the browser without requiring any sort of active "tab management".

I have a working extension that replaces the "new tab" page with a clean view of all open tabs, along with simple ways to search and select which tab to switch to, including search over bookmarks and history. There are also some simple tools to allow for creating and reorganizing tab groups.

For a small group of people, it revolutionizes the browser experience. I'm still trying to decide if there is a widely-useful product there, or if it's just a niche use case.

Any and all feedback welcome!
