I'm working on:
- a very simple monitoring platform (for HTTP and possibly PING) for 2€/mo, that _just works_
- a sort-of-project-management thing for law professionals

#352I’ve been working on a synthetic DNA assembly company. Basically, I figured out how to assemble DNA for people at a fraction of what it normally costs, so they give me a sequence, and then I make it in real life for them, then ship it to them. Most of my customers have been AI protein designers, ironically. Turns out SOMEBODY has to wrangle atoms in the real biological world and that’s me! After almost a year of work…
If I ever met you in real life I think you would be the coolest person I've ever met.

#353I've been working on a local-first personal finance/expense tracker called Tender: https://tender.run Tender runs as a PWA and uses the Automerge crdt and sqlite via wasm. The app more or less runs entirely in your browser (works offline!), though our server proxies connections to pull in plaid/splitwise data. Feature-wise, we're targeting folks who do want to manage their expenses but not have to do fine-grained bud…
Hey, so you may not be targeting this particular market but it is adjacent and something I would pay $5-10 a month for. Have you considered expanding this eventually into a Empower (formerly Personal Capital) competitor? What I mainly use from them is: - investment performance tracking across my various accounts. - retirement planning/forecasting - cash flow, expense, and income tracking overtime. - warnings about up…
I'm a former Personal Capital and Mint (:tear:) user. Checkout Monarch Money.

#354OpenPV is a website to analyze the potential of PV installations for electricity production on your building. It's based on openly available 3D building data and does a shading simulation in the browser using WebGL: https://openpv.de
Based on your TLD, I would not have been surprised if the service is working for Germany only. But it is Bavaria-only - bummer. Any chance to extend the coverage?

#355I just launched paid subscriptions to Bernard (https://bernard.app), an automated broken links checker for websites and got my first paying users.
These days I am taking a break and looking to "pivot" it into a more complete website monitoring tool, that not only scans for broken links, but also offer uptime monitoring, page speed and scans for all sorts of issues that might affect your user. Basically a one-stop shop for everyone that runs a website.
This is a product I would love for myself, but I am unsure if it is a good idea to expand the scope of a product that originally had quite clear and "modest" goals: to check for broken links.

#356I'm working on a digital menus solution (https://www.menulio.app/). Would love to hear any feedback thoughts!

I would love to use something like this but globally. I'm working on some parcel analyzer product for Poland. Perfectly I would like to use it in form of an API where I can pass coordinates in request and get response with pv potential metrics.

We are right now extending to whole Germany. And in theory, all data from https://github.com/OloOcki/awesome-citygml can be integrated. But still, data is only available for very few parts of the earth.

The problem here is the availability of 3D building data - at https://github.com/OloOcki/awesome-citygml is a list of all possible regions where we could extend our service in future, but that is still very limited parts of the earth.
We are right now also open sourcing our shading simulation code of WebGL as an npm package, check out https://github.com/open-pv/simshady if that is interesting for you.

#360I’m working on https://langible.com, a language learning app intended to be fun like Duolingo and effective like Anki.
Would love to hear any feedback thoughts!
