During the holidays, I’ve experimented with some ideas. I wondered if it was possible to make money in 2025 using simple, nano banana wrappers, thr answer is yes! for example, RecolorLife.com and Headshoti.com generate around $800 USD. Now I will expand for real estate.

#552Hi HN, I am working on Circuitscript, a language based on python to describe electronic schematics: https://circuitscript.net/ . A basic IDE (called the Bench) to try Circuitscript is available online: https://bench.circuitscript.net/ During the December break, I have implemented some new features: automatic stable refdes annotations, parameter assignment rules for easy part number assignment and some ERC rules. Thes…
Nice work this looks like it would be so much nicer than fighting with the GUI tools. Using existing component libraries via some sort of importer code looks like it might be needed to gain momentum.

#554I'm launching many landing pages these days and want to collect emails into waitlists. I have been working on Wait: https://github.com/tanin47/wait , a self-hostable CORS-enabled headless waitlist system that connects to Google Sheets. I have many landing pages hosted for free on Netlify and Github Pages as static pages. All of them have waitlist forms that send cross-domain AJAX requests to the Wait server, which th…
I guess one advantage here is that the user is not locked into a specific hosting provider.

#555I'm still working on my PDF search engine for desktop: https://www.docgoblin.com/ I'm implementing a bookmark utility right now and hope to add support multiple E-books format in the near future.

Is this solving the same problem as Netlify's forms? https://docs.netlify.com/manage/forms/setup/ I guess one advantage here is that the user is not locked into a specific hosting provider.
Any alternative that is hosted or uses iframe will encounter this kind of frictions.
In comparison, with Wait, you'd just call `fetch(...)` and do whatever you need after `fetch(..)` succeeds or fails. For example, one landing page might say thank you afterward. Another landing might show the installation instructions after the user submits their emails. The whole code is controlled by you.
It's like you call your own backend except it's hosted in a different domain, and your landing page can be hosted as a static site with no backend.
If you are interested in trying it out, I'd love to work with you to make it successful for you. Thank you!

#560My meta side project for building other side projects: https://bodge.app/ I've always had a bunch of small side projects that I want to do that aren't worth the overhead required to actually put them together & keep them maintained. So, I built a small Lua-based FaaS platform to make each individual project less work whenever inspiration strikes. So far I've built: * A current-time API for some hacked-together IoT de…
Do you think a service like yours with support for many variety of languages a good idea? Not in order to meet user demand but purely because I think it would "just" require running the program on the server using a different interpreter/compiler, assuming code sandboxing has been achieved to make the initial language work.
For example, I love the long list of languages supported by Code Golf: https://code.golf/wiki.
