I'm building a dating app for what I think is an untapped market. I'm just worried the apple store is going to reject it. I read back in 2020 they aren't accepting more dating apps but I've also seen a number of new ones pop up.

#322I'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…
I built something similar for myself, but with a live PDF preview, support for downloading PDFs in multiple languages (English and Polish), VAT tax deductions, and multiple currencies.
Also it’s open-source https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf
Would love to receive any feedback as well :)

#324My pursuit of happiness, I'm in fear of quitting my current job and go for a working holiday to Australia, I'm excited while still trying to overcome the fear of not having a stable and well paying job because I don't find any joy in this job no more , so I am working on mentally getting out of this, I want to truly let go "money is more important than my happiness" idea.

Not sure what your age and obligations are, but I did this years ago. Highly recommended.
I spent time kicking around, had a work visa through BUNAC[0] but didn't use it, went to some festivals, did some WWOOFing[1] and hiking and climbing. Also took the opportunity to visit other countries near AU that I wouldn't get to otherwise (NZ, Fiji).
One of my life highlights. Two thumbs up! I doubt my experience is super relevant any more, but feel free to send me an email (address in profile) if you want to chat about it.

#327I built a free and open-source invoice generator with a live PDF preview that runs in your browser.
It supports multiple currencies, VAT tax deductions, and lets you download PDFs in multiple languages (English and Polish for now, with more coming soon). You can also share your invoice by clicking “Generate a link to invoice” button.
Try it out: https://easyinvoicepdf.com/
Check it out on GitHub as well:

#328An app for helping groups of friends decide on restaurants, movies, etc using ranked choice voting and a Tinder esque swipe interaction for creating rankings.
Been dabbling in game dev and have been having a good time with a little sailing game that I think could be a cozy “A Short Hike” esque , but where you have to grock how (simplified) sailing works.

#329I'm still working on my newsletter: https://ciamweekly.substack.com/ , all about customer identity and access management (CIAM).
Recently added a free tier, so working on making sure both the free subscribers and the paid ones get value out of it. I've asked people to pay for my time as a consultant and books I've written in the past, but it is pretty scary to ask folks to pay for my knowledge via a newsletter.
Finding the balance between technical dives, standards reviews, interviews, and CIAM use cases while doing this as a side hustle is an interesting balance as well. And, the weekly cadence can be brutal. But it does keep me on my toes.

#330I've been slowly building https://www.hamradiolog.net/
As part of that, I made an ADIF (ham radio logs) parser to learn go. It's more than 2x faster than parsing the same data in json format with the go standard library.
