I'm working on a Polish dictionary. There are already professional dictionaries online but I miss one feature: to be able to search in definitions. It's also scrabble oriented, so words come with anagrams and so on.

This is really timely. I was about to post a Show HN to get some feedback. I have been working on an app that will help people in their stock trading. You can find it here: https://guardrails.xyz The expensive market data feeds are not hooked up yet and I wanted to solicit some feedback before proceeding. I am also looking for monetization and partnership opportunities. Here is a youtube clip explaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C96f_xXXQZw and a survey : https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Q8QVJN3

Open source continuous profiling software https://github.com/pyroscope-io/pyroscope

I did a lot of profiling at my last job and it was always kinda frustrating because you usually have to do it adhoc on your machine, and you can't do it in production, or you can't go back in time.

So I started looking into possibilities of doing it in production, and after doing some research and back of the envelope math I figured it's possible to run this kind of stuff 24/7 in production environment and store months of this kind of data for cheap.

I just released the first version a couple of weeks ago, would love any feedback on this.

A (kind of) decentralized and secure voting platform:

- distributed as a PWA(written in Rust, client and server side)

- the authenticity of voters is certified by the voters themselves validating/signing their contacts profiles (by scanning a QR-code). Similarly to the PGP web of trust.

- most of the voters data (included their private signing key) is encrypted client-side and then optionally stored on the server

- moderation policies is to be defined but would ideally by done organically by the users themselves

- the recommenced voting system to use would be by majority judgement [0]

- open source, open government model, non-profit

A visual bot maker.

Imagine a blueprint editor similar to one found in UE4 or Unity, but for chat bots. You can place a node a connect it to other nodes to express the logic of a given bot command, we have support for Variables to persist data across invocations and also have Parameters so if you just want to import something from the marketplace without editing the nodes you get a simple form view.

It's still very Alpha, not all the nodes are implemented, variables are currently bugged, the editor can be a little buggy, but it's something I'm actively developing and plan to monetize eventually.

I'm working on DFlex: JavaScript Project to Manipulate DOM Elements (https://github.com/jalal246/dflex)

Also, I'm looking for contributors! If anyone interested, please let me know.

I wrote about it here - Why DFlex and how It's different: https://dev.to/jalal246/dflex-javascript-project-to-manipula...

The work is still in progress but can't achieve the desired outcomes without community support.

I and my friend are building API to search for structured news articles [1]. It's a data-as-a-service.

We've been working for ~1 year. Our full-time job now. ~3k MRR
