I've been working on a fitness app. It's been a fun project on the side for a while, initially designed to help me keep track of my weekly hours or kilometres on my watch without shipping data to a cloud somewhere. This then grew (with me, as my training and goal did) to include all the other fun things like plans, graphs, notifications, etc.

The app tries to help build good habits - Encouraging and motivating users to achieve their goals.

I fell down the rabbit hole of voice transcription about a year ago, always had a love for utilising fine tuned LLMs so have put two and two together and built https://whistle-enterprise.com . The biggest challenge being it all running on CPU with the target device being your low to mid spec office laptop that's a few years old (I5, 8gb RAM). All nicely packaged together in a single completely offline selfcontained a…

Do you think this can just be used as is to create subtitles for a multi-person video?

How good is it at foreign languages?

I am looking for a nice solution to subtitle some old movies.

I've been building a site to help someone start a small business. Think figuring out how to get a loan, what neighborhood I should build in, what permits I need, etc. I feel there is a ton of content for people wanting to start a VC funded business but not enough for small business local to your area.

Its still in the building phase but what I have currently is at:

https://banksia.bio - I think private personal genome sequencing is an underserved market. I'm trying to start a "Mullvad VPN"-esque service where I as a provider do not need your personal information to perform the sequencing. Very much a WIP at the moment :)

My wife and I are working on a math/science/CS-inspired jewelry business. We try to create pieces that stand on their own aesthetically but have a hidden meaning. We currently have two styles: lambda calculus based pieces (we depict the lambda/Tromp diagram) where we have Y-Combinator earrings (well, strictly speaking they are one beta reduction away from Y-combinator. Aesthetic oblige) and a pendant depicting a lamb…

Focusing on sharing more on my blog https://so.long.thanks.fish after having a flood of HN views last month on a post

Recently made a stargazing app on Apple Watch, vanity address miner, playing with gameboy roms, and have been making and testing a social photo game that I’ll hopefully make public next month as a PWA

I’m developing BaseRef (https://getbaseref.com), a requirements/risk/test management and documentation SaaS tool focused on medical device startups. There are competitors in the space but most are enterprise tools for enterprise customers. My primary differentiators are reasonable up-front prices, and easy inclusion of traced items in a wiki/notion-like collaborative document editor. It’s not a sexy or original idea, but I think there is a gap in the market for a solid business. I’ve been an embedded software consultant for medical device startups for years, but this is my first SaaS business.
