I was tired of all the ads, and the poor formating on recipe websites.
So I made a website to import food recipes from any location (text, YouTube, file...).
It has been fun so far! I tried importing from fb/ig by using a meta app but it has been a horrible experience so I scrapped that ^^
I am a tech guy, now turned VC in Europe. However, something curious and interesting I'm working on with some partners is the renovation of a Palazzo in Venice. Learning new things almost every week. Absolutely stressful, and exhilarating. Completely different from coding or investing in tech startups.
I'm not doing this because I'm convinced it's a great idea, or because it's going to revolutionize computing, or because it will be a good language, model or beneficial in any particular way, I'm doing it because I think it's fun, neat and interesting to think about (and talk about).
Everything will be bound to a key in the spirit of VIm :-)
I don't have a landing page yet, but if this sounds interesting to you, you can sign up here: https://lindon.app
I'd also love to hear what would be important to you in an application like that.
Any feedback is welcome!
I once saw an idea on here[1] about putting a lot more historical information into a calendar, including past activities. It resonated with me and I wondered if bank transactions could be part of this activity layer. At the time I was working on a real-time integration between my bank and YNAB so I was already thinking about the space.

A language learning app for couples ( https://couplingcafe.com ). I wanted to learn my wife's native language, so I've been building this on my own for a long time and testing solutions! Just a few paying happy users. Cooking up a lot of ideas
I'm also working on and off on a hardware device for blind people.
This makes it possible to create a kind of requirement "programming language" where the requirements can be evaluated. With this language it becomes possible to create cross-references from various compliance standards/frameworks, like ISO27K, to USM, and automatically evaluate the compliance.
(2) Dance event calendar in Finland, running in production for over a year. 1-2M page views/month. Django app, but I am now implementing a copy of the unauthenticated user views to S3 bucket and delivering it through Cloudflare.
(3) Django app to handle all the data related to custody trial. Emails, SMS, notes, official records, voice memos, etc. can be attached to a timeline, and tagge and searchable. It has command line interface for adding data, in addition to UI, so I can quickly add notes and attach files.
I have revived my work on Go Micro (https://github.com/micro/go-micro) and rewritten the v5 cli/api from scratch (https://github.com/micro/micro). As a VC funded company there was a lot of confusion around the tools we were building and we veered off in a direction that alienated the community. With the company dead, funding gone, etc there's an opportunity to rebuild value around the Go Micro framework.
The second thing I'm working on is the Reminder (https://reminder.dev && https://github.com/asim/reminder). As a muslim I feel like it's my duty to spread the word of Islam and as an engineer I feel like an appropriate way to do that is build an app and API for the Quran, names of Allah and hadith. It's a slow patient building of something as opposed to expecting anything from it.
In terms of new ideas, maybe not new but less screen time, less phones, more nature.
