A website that provides transparency into the new/used car market in Australia: https://carvalue.app/ The goal is to allow anyone to know how much any car is worth at a given age/mileage, and eventually help people make better purchasing decisions. Be warned: It's still a very buggy prototype at this stage and the data confidence for all but the most popular models is low!

Where do you get the data from?

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…

Awesome. Would suggest considering a built-in URL shortener.

Not too short or it's too easy to guess.

The app might be stateless right now (I haven't checked); if it is, adding a URL shortener will break that.

I just finished building a Night Routine manager for me and my wife that help us keep alternating who does the toddler night routine. I needed this because we both have evening activities and trying to figure how to block day for it while keeping the routine fair was hard.

I wanted to build everything from the ground up in Go and have it fully integrated with Google Calendar where we have our family calendar.

It setup full day event with the name of the parent in charge of the night routine. To override a routine, any of us can just rename the event with the the other parent name and the software recalculate the following routines.

I also wanted to give a try to Roo Code in VS Code it only took me 2 days (evenings) to code the whole thing with a proper sqlite db.

I've been working on a free, in-browser "pre" video editor. Upload your clip, use a transcript interface to cut it down to the takes and salient bits you want to keep, then export your cuts to FCP or Resolve to complete your editing. This tool saves me about 25-30% of my editing time.

Uses transformers.js & WebGPU for running transcription, so it's pretty fast. It's still a bit rough around the edges, so I'm looking for feedback.

A blog about burnout and recovery that chronicles my experiences going on an extended sabbatical for the last 3 years. The good, the bad, the unexpected, what I'd do differently, what I've learned along the way, etc. I started the project 1.5 years ago after many people I spoke to expressed interest, but life got complicated and I had to focus on health among other things. It's now back on the front burner, and I'm h…

Interesting, I’ve been using https://simpleinvoices.io for a couple of years and really like it. Integrates with my Stripe and super easy to configure. Best of luck!

I have been using simpleinvoices.io for a few years too. It's great. (Just checked, 10 this year).
