I’m working on Catchcam - https://hackaday.io/project/199220-catchcam-speed-camera-det... , a privacy-first, offline speed camera detector for drivers. Unlike apps like Waze or Radarbot, Catchcam doesn’t track your location or require an internet connection. Just plug it into your USB socket, and you’re good to go.

I just put live a daily logic puzzle, Clues by Sam. I've been working on it for a while now, mainly on the level generator. It was tricky to generate levels that are solvable using logic (no guessing needed), and also fun to solve (no crazy long deduction chains, but also not just obvious things). I'm sure the implementation still has some quirks on some devices, so would love to hear if you encounter issues! https:/…

Highly enjoyable (after I finally read the definitions of "neighbor" and "to the right/left")! Did you write a program that can automatically generate these?? I'll definitely try this again. Note, the emoji graphic in "share" might be buggy? I'm seeing one green checkmark, one green square, and four red squares..

PodSnacks ( https://podsnacks.org ) — Personalized AI summaries of top podcasts, delivered to your inbox. I've been building PodSnacks because I found it overwhelming to keep up with podcasts across tech, business, and science. PodSnacks uses LLMs to summarize the most popular episodes from shows like Lex Fridman, Acquired, All-In, Invest Like the Best, and more. You choose your favorite shows, and we email you short…

That's awesome! I'm really not a podcast person, but a lot of good content is available primarily through podcasts. Hope that can help with it.

B2B SaaS for Sponsorship ROI measurement (https://wehave.io)

We use data from club & sponsor to measure conversion over time. Our challenge lies in attributing a select group of people who appear in both datasets. Sponsors spend millions on their sponsorship, and they have no idea what comes back.

We also got funded last week & looking for a founding engineer (2nd employee) :)

I'm currently working on Academy Referral* (https://academyreferral.com). It's a referral platform for martial arts academies, allowing owners to reward their students for bringing in new members.

I've trained martial arts for a few years, and have always been that person who tries to introduce those close to me to the community. I know a lot of other people do the same.

Now, I don't care that I wasn't rewarded for it, but why not? We have point-based programs for nearly everything. Why not for martial arts as well?

* Have a few academies in the process of testing it out. Still a lot to do, including the demo video that isn't going to load on the main page.

A pentagonal geospatial indexing system: https://a5geo.org/ If you’ve used H3 or S2 it should be familiar, the major difference (apart from the fact it uses pentagons) is that the cell areas are practically uniform, whereas alternative systems have a variance of around 2 between the largest and smallest cells, making them less useful for aggregation. The site has many visual demos, e.g. https://a5geo.org/examples/are…

Wow, that's a really fascinating problem to work on. I work in mapping but haven't actually come across this field of what you call DGGS's.

Is it essential that the cells be the same shape?

Also where does the name "A5" come from exactly? I get that 5 is because it has five sides, but why A?
