Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year, PlasticList found plastic chemicals in 86% of tested foods—including 100% of baby foods they tested. Around the same time, the EU lowered its “safe” BPA limit by 20,000×, while the FDA still allows levels roughly 100× higher than Europe’s new standard. That seemed solvable. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent lab testing of the specific p…

this looks so cool! I wish it told me if the levels found for tested products were good/bad - I have no prior reference so the numbers meant nothing to me

Coming soon. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm building decision-making software: https://orgtools.com Not sure what the market is for something like this but it's something I've been thinking a lot about since stepping down as CEO of my previous company. My goal is two-fold: 1. Help teams make better, faster decisions with all context populating a source-of-truth. 2. Help leaders stay eyes-on, and circumstantially hands-on, without slowing everything down. W…

“Fewer meetings.” Not “less.”

This is a good nudge to choose the grammatically correct option, thank you.

I originally had "less meetings" before an LLM corrected me into using "fewer meetings". Then when talking about Orgtools to a couple people I heard them say "less meetings" and switched back thinking that sounds slightly more natural (but incorrect).

I’ve got a side project going that’s a browser extension (starting with Safari + Sign in with Apple) intended to add a comment layer to the internet as a whole. I’m calling it Chaffiti ( https://chaffiti.com ). The idea is to enable a comment section on any webpage, right as you’re browsing. Viewing a Zillow listing? See what people are excited about with the property. Wonder what people think about a tourist attract…

Great idea but wouldn’t you run into storage issues pretty quickly without massive budget for large database clusters? The web is a big and constantly changing place. Covering it in useful comments seems prohibitively expensive.

https://www.radiopuppy.com Makes it easy to search, favourite and listen to online radio streams. I like to listen to online radio while working and none of the available web apps I could find hit the nail on the head, so decided to build my own.

I clicked on a few and couldn't get any to work, either just didn't play or gave me "Stream format or URL not supported."

A couple of months ago, I saw a tweet from @awilkinson: “I just found out how much we pay for DocuSign and my jaw dropped. What's the best alternative?”

Me being naive, I thought “how hard could would it actually be to build a free e-sign tool?”

Turns out not that hard.

In about a weekend, I built a UETA and ESIGN compliant tool. And it was free. And it cost me less than $50. Unlimited free e-sign. https://useinkless.com/

I’m currently working on https://www.dreamly.in - automated, personalized, and localized bedtime stories for kids. My daughter loves stories, and I often struggled to come up with new ones every night. I remember enjoying local folk tales and Indian mythological stories from my childhood, and I wanted her to experience that too — while also learning new things like basic science concepts and morals through stories. S…

I like reading to my kids and try to read to them in English and Mandarin. My Chinese is conversational, but I have a hard time finding books for them because I’m not good at writing. Something like this with language learning tools would be awesome.

I also like making up stories when we go on hikes. Long, rambling stories about unicorns befriending spiders and flying to faraway lands.

I've been working on an engine that will allow me to play the old DOS game "Eye of the Beholder" with the original assets. It's mostly an exercise for me to up my golang skills and to explore what coding was like in the early 90s.

Currently an AI powered golf club fitter: https://eldrick.golf

The amount of fine tuning we've put into the model has been incredible. Starting to rival human multi-decade professionals in custom club fitting.

Feels like this will be how all human-tool interaction fitting will go.

Our waitlist is open for https://flatm8.co.uk - the platform for anonymous reviews of Landlords and Estate Agents in Britain and Ireland. We’re working directly with partner housing unions and charities in Britain and Ireland to build the first central database of rogue landlords and estate agents. Users can search an address and see if it’s marked as rogue/dangerous by the local union, as well as whether you can exp…

Aren't UK libel laws super strict?

Sounds like it’s done by address, so the slumlord’s name isn’t necessary. Seems like a great idea.
