I'm working on a JS lib that makes zones in an overlay to any HTML element.
With two modes (edit and view) you'll be able to draw and store polygons without coding and then use them somewhere else. Like in your home automation's floorplan where you want to handle actions by just clicking to your night stand light, or zoom into a room, etc.

#742I'm making a new tool for writers. With it, you'll be able to write your essays on "layers" The problem? Tweets are easier to read than long-form essays, as they require less time commitment. If the content is not good on a long-form article, you'll find out way too late. With this tool I'm developing: Layer 1 is the shortest version of your essay, the 1 min read — like a tweet. The idea boiled down to the shortest v…
I like this idea! I'm building something similar at www.sivv.io. This is a community for knowledge sharing where users share / discover summaries of useful knowledge, ideas or advice that are structured into sections (e.g. background, key point, examples) that can be hidden or revealed depending on the preferences of the reader. The idea is that this forces authors to remove any 'padding' and allows readers to consume the key points as quickly as possible, in theory learning more while reading less. We are currently focusing on the topics of business, behavioural science, personal development, professional development, science & technology and wellbeing. You can sign-up to the beta version at www.sivv.io - any feedback would be much appreciated!

#743I'm finally adding JSON and XML projection support in jOOQ. Hoping to tackle MULTISET projection support, too, and emulating it with JSON or XML.

#745(1) Careteam & services coordination platform for elderly living in full care homes, assisted living homes or in 'virtual' care at home.
(2) Exploratory platform looking into 'cross silo' team coordination workflows and data sharing for healthcare workers and social services based on HL7 FHIR for preventive healthcare and post-intervention at home recovery care.
Both of these initiatives started long before COVID-19 was in the dictionary.

#746Saw this post kind of late, but I'm working on an event system for Unity 2020 that can handle multiple serialized parameters and use reflection to figure out the parameter types to use for each event. The idea being to slot in an event in the inspector and have the editor script update the fields to only show valid types.

When I read your description I immediately thought of the Minto Pyramid principle. Your tool is like a technical way of solving the same problem :)

#748I'm still in the super early stages of working on a collaborative sketch/whiteboarding web app. The idea is to have a site wherein users can sketch a diagram/write out some notes, with other users able to view in real-time or save and view later a la Google Docs. Had the idea a few weeks ago, but with most universities converting to online lectures and many businesses working from home it seems like there's a definit…
sounds similar to mira board (well known player in online collab whiteboard)

#749I'm working on promnesia, a browser extension to enhance web browser history. It allows you to answer different questions about the current web page: - have I been here before? When? - why have I bookmarked it? - how did I get on it? Which page has led to it? - who sent me this link? Can I just jump to the message? - which links on this page have I already explored? - which posts from this blog page have I already re…
Why do you need this information? What's the use case?

#750I'm working on making Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi ) work with as many monitor setups as possible.
Lunar is a macOS app that can change your external monitor brightness and contrast based on your Macbook built-in display brightness (which already reacts to ambient lighting).
It can also change the brightness based on the sun position or can just add some hotkeys for you to change the brightness manually in case you are using a MacBook in clamshell mode, or a device without a built-in display like a Mac Mini
Lunar doesn't use dark software overlays, it actually changes the hardware monitor brightness/contrast using the standard DDC protocol that's been implemented in monitors for the last 20 years.
In the latest update, it also adds hotkeys for changing the monitor’s volume which was a very requested feature.
Right now I’m trying to make it work with all the esoteric setups that users have. As you can imagine, there are a lot of ways you can connect monitors to your device: hubs, docks, adapters, AirPlay, cables with missing wires etc.
While DDC works most of the time, I still have to implement all kinds of workarounds because the system doesn’t play well with those setups.
The code is a spaghetti mess of Swift because I didn’t know reactive frameworks for Swift existed at the time: https://github.com/alin23/Lunar
