I've been putting together a no-nonsense free invoice generator, for people (like myself) that only occasionally send invoices. It's more-or-less a WYSIWYG editor, and the state is stored in the URL, so you don't have to worry about keeping track of where you stored your copy - if you've sent someone an email with the link, you've got a copy. This project was born out of the frustration of trying to generate an invoi…

Useful and simple. The pattern could be applied to any templatized document we need to generate.

A basketball shot chart. I’m about done with it, but one thing I was happy to have figured - out coaches often want to tag a shot as a particular type. So like a three pointer, mid range, or whatever else it may be. With my shot chart, it automatically tags the shot based on where they added it, which I think is pretty neat.

https://aponlink.com/ I built a no-AI, human-only social network focused on ONLY one thing - keeping people connected. I'd stepped away from mainstream social media last year due to the overwhelming negativity, privacy violation, etc. Then around early this year, I started to feel I was missing updates from people who actually matter in my life. Instead of going back to traditional platforms, I decided to create a si…

So I like what you are doing but I think it might be worth having a larger think about this > no user search and no friend suggestions I get the intentionality, but the reason that facebook was successful was that it found the people you intentionally wanted to communicate with for you. The issue is that the social graph overstays its welcome. After its done finding all the people you want to communicate with, it sug…

That’s a great insight. I totally agree that early Facebook’s ability to surface actual connections was valuable before it turned into an endless recommendation machine.

The challenge is figuring out how to offer just enough discoverability that doesn't creep users. I like your idea of an opt-in, time-limited, depth-1 search, it keeps things intentional while reducing friction. Definitely something to think about.

Curious: would you see value in a simple "import contacts" option, or do you think that would risk overstepping?

We are putting together an automated compliance solution for environmental sustainability. Think of us as Delve.co or Vanta for heavy industries. Currently working on a new landing page. The goal is to make it easy to stay compliant when regulations get updated and maintain a positive compliance posture down to the asset level.

I am working on this mobile app that is a cross between karaoke and musical instrument practice. Through playing music for a long time, I realize that playing with a band or with the actual song is important to get a good feel of music, specially for starting musicians. Hence the app. Currently I have Nepali songs up. I am finding it difficult to get more subtitle files or generate them quickly (for lyrics layout). Through this I would want to ask how I can quickly generate lyrics file. I really would appreciate the help.

Https://AppGoblin.info

Free online database of all apps and their third party trackers.

I made an Android app that lists the trackers on your phone.

You can checkout that app by going to https://AppGoblin.info/about and clicking the link there. It is a test url for an open source ad tracking software. (ie track where an install came from, in this case the about page of the site).

Feel free to reach out if you're interested in either project.
