A personal recipe vault. Me and my wife got sick of dozens of bookmarks that we had of our favorite recipes so I've decided to make something about it. I'm guessing that if we needed it someone else might like it. I haven't launched it yet officially, it is still in testing stage but is usable.

You can put your recipes into it, you can share them or make them private and if you see other users' recipe you can copy them to your vault just by a click of a button. And if you speak more than one language you can specify that and search other users' recipes in all the languages you understand.

I'm working towards building my own mutual fund index, but for data sets.

There's a protocol on Ethereum that allows people to invest and buy data sets. I take their market data and rank all data sets. That's what it looks like now:

What's missing is to put my index data on the blockchain and create an ERC20 that allows anyone to invest in my fund.

I'm building a time series viewer / editor running in the browser.

I'm working in the ocean engineering space where we extensively use time domain simulations and need to view/edit/transform a lot of time series data. I had previously build a proprietary desktop version at my current company.

One of the key feature is the embedded expression calculator that's operating directly on the times series in a vectorized fashion.

I have a proof of concept running, but still a lot to implement before I can disclose it.

I'm currently focused on dusting off my old blog and getting some new posts out.

I ended up accidentally building my own (somewhat cursed) static page generator in PHP. It's probably not super portable, but it does the job of taking some Markdown and Mustache files and putting together a site.

And since I was super minimalist about it, the site is really fast. So that makes me happy!

A Slack app called Whatis which is like a super-powered glossary for teams.

The goal is to nudge teams to share the burden of keeping knowledge touchpoints (acronyms etc...) up to date by gamifying knowledge discovery and maintenance. Figuring out gamification was a great challenge!

You can find out more here Https://Whatis.rocks or in the Slack app directory

I'm trying to learn more about precision FDM 3d printing. Right now, I'm trying to narrow in on getting a screw thread to work.

I doubt I'd ever apply to YC with this, but I've been tinkering in my spare time with Rails on this side project: https://buddysystem.dev

I have a web page for this :) https://cincheo.com/renaud-pawlak/ You will find all my (side) projects, including the ones in standby and failed/stopped ones. Not sure these projects all fit the "cool" criteria though! ;) Never applied to HN so far since I am not sure my projects fit.
