I’m just putting the finishing touches on (https://jtrack.app)[JTrack]

I spent a long time working in manufacturing and struggled to find a piece of software where we could define a process, share instructions and collect data all in one go.

The idea is you can basically turn your process into an interactive flowchart and follow it through. I’m almost code complete on the MVP, moving into distribution mode in a few weeks.

I’d love to hear from any HNers who’ve gone from 0 to 1 on a SaaS for non technical users. What worked for you?

I wanted to know what my kids were doing on the computer: homework or watching youtube shorts, so I built https://screenspy.app to monitor them. Now I’m working on turning it into a product.

They might as well get used to being spied upon now. Beat the rush! :)

I have been working on http://phrasing.app - a language learning & acquisition tool for polyglots. I’ve been using it to study ~12 languages (5 on maintaince, 2 seriously studying, 5 casually “studying”) and it’s starting to feel really good. If anyone is learning/maintaining several languages, please reach out! I’m looking for beta testers in as many languages as possible (it supports 120+). In what I believe is sti…

Since you're in Amsterdam, I'm curious how well you think it performs for learning Dutch? I'm a native English speaker with a B2~ in Dutch and just looking to progress more. I've not used spaced repetition up to this point in my learning journey (almost 3 years).

Honestly a little bit hesitant to say anything yet. There are a few more features to add, and a whole lot more work to be done to showcase just how cool it is. But the short version is, I'm working on a sort of meta-pico8, a game maker for WebGL2 2d pixel art games (e.g. 320x180 games like Animal Well) that runs in the browser, but one that's firstly collaborative, so that we can all build it together. And some of th…

Interesting, I have been working on a similar project, albeit 320x240.

I also got some code-share and collaboration features working, but got a bit stuck on fonts. But I can appreciate your feeling of 'how cool this is'

I ground to a halt once I realised I had no barrier to entry, ie it could be cloned very easily. Always an issue with Web Development I guess. Plus I hate what modern browsers have become in recent years and not sure I want to target such a fast moving platform. I got burned once already with WebStart 'warning this app might do something scary' and certificate fiasco.

I thought about some native binaries, but I know I am kidding myself. I had an ios app that was pixel cloned within 6 months. But somehow a web app feels like publishing straight into public domain.

www.promptcol.com

A prompt collection platform that let's you organize your prompts, share them, learn prompts from other users and reuse them on multiple LLM / AI platforms. It's aimed at improving prompt engineering skills for both technical and non technical LLM users. Currently in Alpha phase and actively looking for feedback.

Worked a little on Server Radar [1] again, the Hetzner Auction price tracker.

It's my fun little project to resort to. Implemented dark mode, sorting, grouping and various layout improvements. Also added a Drawer with Auction view the other week. UI is finally fun again with component libraries and LLMs.

Oh, and I added a Cloud Server Availability [2] page as I noticed people on /r/hetzner were complaining about lack of resources. Looks like their Cloud offerings are going quite well.

The first ever SQL debugger – runs & visualizes your query step-by-step, every clause, condition, expression, incl. GROUP BY, aggregates / windows, DISTINCT (ON), subqueries (even correlated ones!), CTEs, you name it. You can search for full or partial rows and see the whole query lineage – which intermediate rows from which CTEs/subqueries contributed to the result you're searching for. Entirely offline & no usage o…

This seems like it could be extremely useful.

Thanks! Would you mind sharing what would be your use cases?

At my job, all of our business logic (4 KLOC of network topology algorithms) is written in a niche query language, which we have been migrating to PostgreSQL. When an inconsistency/error is found, tracking it can take days, manually commenting out parts of query and looking at the results.

https://mitte.ai — an AI image generator with focus on quality and details

so you can get logos / icons that doesn’t look AI generated.

it comes with Photoshop-like editor (https://mitte.ai/editor) so you can zoom into details and change / remove anything, or upscale, etc.

I built it for myself but now there’s good amount of paying users as well.
