I'm working on the next release of Cyphernetes. It's a query language for Kubernetes that allows doing most complex k8s management operations in a much more compact and concise form (compared to writing shell scripts, using jsonpath+jq, nested kubectl, writing API code etc.).
Recently merged a visual overhaul to the Cyphernetes web UI and now working on adding support for ORDER BY, LIMIT and SKIP to the language.

#352I'm working on a calorie & macro tracker called FitBee. Tracking my food has been tremendously helpful in terms of improving my health, but it's always been kind of a PITA. These past couple of months have been really exciting as I'm leaning into using AI to make it less of a hassle to track & provide more insights. https://fitbee.app
I clicked because I have strong opinions about calorie-tracking apps (just since I've tried all of the major ones and know what features I like). I'm impressed! Love the UI.

#353https://getapptrack.com/ I wanted a better way to keep track of applications I sent out, A spreadsheet just seemed like a poor way of tracking data. So overtime I built a desktop application to track my job search activity for me. Most alternatives are web-based, but I didn’t love the idea of broadcasting my job search to third parties. This is a native desktop app (Windows/macOS) that keeps everything local. Still w…
Maybe a kanban view might work? I use that on obsidian right now. I found it easier than a list
I had thought about it, but I found that in practice that the majority of applications I send out wind up in the 'Applied' state and don't get much further, leading to a large list in a narrow swim lane.
That and I am able to customize the flow of applications, and the number of swim lanes would be a bit messy. I have my app setup to track interviews, phone screens, take home assignments, and many more.
I found that a smart sorting algorithm is best for displaying the applications.
But its still early days of the app, possibly someday.

#354Same as last month (no update). Any insight would be awesome!
I’ve deleted all my social media apps. I’m trying to see what’s missing in my life in terms of interacting with friends and family and trying to build it.

#355I'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. https://easyinvoicepdf.com/ Also it’s open-source https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf Would love to receive any feedback as well :)
Nice work, this looks better than the established players in this space! You've got some customisation options in yours that I'd love to implement in mine as soon as time permits. Huge props for not forcing people to sign up for an account to use it!

#356I’m working on a live voice chat for settling rule disputes during tabletop gaming. It uses OpenAI’s realtime API to allow anyone to call in a “ref”, trained on the rules of the games, to answer questions about the rules.

#357I am working on Navi, an open source digital twin that helps you review the digital notes you've taken in the past week:
https://github.com/Melvillian/navi
Checkout out the README; it gives you a straightforward idea of how Navi works. Currently only works for Notion, but the idea is to make any notetaking tool (Obsidian, Evernote, Google docs, etc...) be ingestable by Navi.
Next steps are to make an SRS plugin, and to make a HTMX-based website so it's useable beyond just the CLI.

#358I have been working on Hostup, with which I recently got accepted into Antler's residency program.
It's currently an upsell management and fulfillment platform built for hosts and property managers who list on Airbnb, Booking.com, and other travel websites. My goal is to make staying at Airbnbs as great as staying at a hotel (without the downsides) by building experiences for guests.
This currently includes the ability for the hosts to offer things like meal plans, at-home massages, etc. In the future, it will help them offer a faster check-in process, make personal recommendations, add interactive guides, and maybe even neighbourhood treasure hunts that involve other travelers.

#359It's an OKLCH color picker, as well as a converter for other color spaces.

I was inspired by the article over at evilmartians[0] about OKLCH, and I loved their oklch picker. Decided I wanted to learn more about OKLCH by implementing my own tool that I've released this week. Had a lot of fun with this project, and am getting plenty of usage out of it already.

#360I'm working on a new Event Sourcing database that elevates the WAL into a first class application concept like a message queue. So instead of standing up a postgresql instance and a kafka instance and a bunch of custom event sourcing plumbing, you stand up this database and publish all your application events as messages. For the database part you just define the mappings from event to table row and you get read mode…
I have done similar for a few customers. I have found that useful pattern is to have both raw queues (incoming data) and clean queue (outgoing data). Outgoing data in single queue only (so all changes are ordered, so we avoid eventual consistency) that has well-defined data model (custom DSL for defining it) and tables/REST api that corresponds 1-to-1 to the data model. Then we need mappings from raw queues to the cl…
Interesting experience! Can you explain a bit more about the raw queues vs clean queues? Is it literally just incoming and outgoing queues or was there a problem that you were trying to solve?
