European night trains search engine. The plan is not to provide the functionality where user searches for a specific route on a specific date and the engine returns prices. The plan is to provide "tips for trips", e.g. I provide a starting city and it will recommend me interesting trip ideas any time in the future. There are many flight apps that provide this functionality, but no train app. Currently I'm building sc…

For some reason Prague -> Bratislava trips are only shown with departures at 00:36 even though there are several through cars that leave Prague at 21:58 (and join the rest of the listed NightJet in Breclav), which is much more comfortable for your average traveler. Ceske drahy website has both connections, so maybe you aren't scraping it yet?

So I had an idea for a music app that tries to minimize the amount of music theory needed to play as a group.

Basically you pick a key, then it's just 7 buttons that play the notes in that key. Actually 21 because there are three octaves.

This has some neat effects. You can play thirds by just hitting every other button.

I wanted kids to get started playing as a group without having to worry about wrong notes. Everything is in the same key so it never sounds too bad.

There's not much to look at, I just started it last Friday. https://github.com/wmill/EasyMusic

I'll throw on some screenshots if there's any interest. I could actually use some feedback from someone who knows a bit about music, my knowledge is pretty minimal.

I am building several small tools for myself, no real intention of sharing them yet. Some have better solutions in the market:

* Advanced tab organizer, small chrome extension to organize my bad habit of 200+ tabs, can group them into windows, search, close duplicates, search just on a specific window. Pretty fun.

* A clipboard manager, just wanted to build something in Swift for fun

* A todo app for mac, local-only

Social network for gamers (iOS/Android, soon web).

Tinder meets Discord and, somehow, they have their way with Uber/Calendly.

It's live if you want to test it: https://jynx.app/

Let me know what you think of it. The main goals I want to achieve are: 1. help with social isolation 2. help e-sport team with sourcing and organizing
