I journal my computer and startup ideas in the open since 2013.

My first batch of ideas hit the front page on HN

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas

Since then I wrote 3 more editions

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4

These all flopped since I triggered the self promotion filter

I had a try at thinking of business ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups

Ideas4 is what I'm working on today. I enjoy ideas4 more than the first edition.

https://crowdview.ai - search engine for forums and discussion sites Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great…

Wow, this almost feels like the old internet and old google.

Generic results from a few corporate entities has become ubiquitous, but here you can type whatever and it seems to give a broad range of results.

Wow, this actually feels like a search engine. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this.

How do you rank the results?

I made a drum machine that I think is pretty cool - https://main.d28ilu31tegyi1.amplifyapp.com/ I taught myself how to program 15+ years ago because I wanted to make music software. Fast forward 15 years, and I've spent my whole career as a designer for B2B Saas. I wanted to re-learn some development stuff and going back to my original inspiration seemed like a good idea. (Still a bit in progress and sorry doesn't wo…

If you added a pattern selector and maybe a MIDI time sync, this could be really fun to use in a live setup

https://github.com/shish/rosettaboy The same gameboy emulator rewritten in C++, Go, Nim, PHP, Cython, Python, Rust, and Zig (and WIP typescript); mostly to teach myself the languages and to compare and contrast their idioms. Also, when taken with a very large grain of salt, usable as a language benchmark (As with all benchmarks, there are lots of caveats - but as far as I’m aware this is unique in being “the same cod…

Neat. I haven't done a deel dive on any kind of technical project in a while, where did you learn amount programming for emulation initially?

Data frames for Python (and some other stuff): https://github.com/otsaloma/dataiter Comparison against dplyr and Pandas for a quick overview: https://dataiter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_static/comparison...

I've always wanted to make a simpler API called RowCol. why `.slice` ?

The data frame is a Python dict and I consider that a feature so that users know how to e.g. loop through columns with .items() etc. That then means that bracket notation is reserved for column names only (i.e. dict keys). So, that's why a separate function is needed.

Almost gave up this tool to build FPS immersion visits. From photos. In 2021-22 had only little traction. https://free-visit.net https://youtu.be/VHSAfiXK_s4

Argh, here's some honest feedback: that webpage looks a bit amateurish, the intro "slide" of the video is 90's Microsoft WordArt, and the example pages are the most amateurish part of it all... "Try the Example 1/2/3"? Why not give them names like "Hallway at [location name]", or "Kitchen of [whoever's kitchen it is]".

The rest of the website is in English but the video narrations are in French, and in Example 2 it's been recorded using, as the joke goes, "a potato".

2 more things: everyone knows WASD nowadays, and I keep ending on "Example 1" because when I go to the menu, I click on it hoping it would appear, but clicking on it actually takes me back/reloads the page of Example 1... but not before the dropdown opens and letting me click Example 2/3.
