I'm working on a language optimized for solving programming challenges as quickly as possible. That is, I'm not optimizing for execution time , I'm optimizing for time between reading the problem statement and having a working solution . As far as I'm aware, there aren't any existing languages in this space. There are plenty of "code golf" languages, which optimize for shortest finished program , but that's slightly…

For the IDE part, you can look into the Language Server Protocol spec and write an implementation for your language. Would then work with most editors like VS code, vim, etc. out of the box and remove the leg-work of making the rest of the editor.

I'm working on bringing the "pay as you go" model to game server hosting, starting with Factorio. Most game server hosts require you to pre-commit to 1/3/5/etc days of hosting and limit the number of "slots" for people to play. I think these are completely arbitrary limitations as a result of them needing to justify the cost of the server in the rack. If you pre-pay for 72 hours straight, plausibly you're going to be…

This sounds interesting! Is there already a website?

I'm working on my programming statistics service Code::Stats: https://codestats.net/

This month I'd like to release a new type of analysis and a way to support the service with a paid account, but we'll have to see how much free time I can get to work on it. I don't make any money off it (last year about -95 € total), but I'm hoping that some day it will bring some side income or at least pay for itself.

The website is Elixir + Phoenix, so acts as a good way to apply the latest things I learn in those.

I'm working on a website for sharing files with large masses of people. It has higher limits than WeTransfer and Zippyshare.

I support freedom of speech, you can share anything you like on pixeldrain as long as it's legal. I have some fairly simple rules:

  * No copyrighted content
  * No child abuse
  * No terrorism
  * No malware
  * No gore. Though I am debating whether this last rule is necessary. Gore is not strictly illegal. But I don't want to turn my site into just another shock site.
Growing this site has been a challenge, especially since the amount of abuse it receives is always growing. But developing it has been a lot of fun. Lots of hard scaling problems to solve.

I'd love to hear your feedback.

1. "WoL" - web-application that runs in home network, scans selected subnet for devices, persist devices in the list. Then it allows send "Wake on Lan" packet to desired device. Ultimately this allows me to wake my computer(s) via VPN when they are shut-down and I'm not home. Wanted created a webapp for that.

Some months ago I made a game using Godot. A simple mobile focused arcade game. The goal was to design a game where the player has only one action, and make it has fun as possible.

It's available on the Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loustak.in....

And on Itch.io: https://loustak.itch.io/inline

Multiple projects right now:

- https://getworkrecognized.com — A platform to keep a work journal/brag document/work diary and create self-reviews or promotion writeups based on your notes // Currently trying to find motivation to make onboarding nicer incl. free trial instead of paid to get more users and initial feedback; I guess partly because of that tool i got promoted to senior level recently soo wohooo

- https://caseconverter.pro/app — A simple case converter on the web, guesses the type you want to convert into with a neural net (i know i could have used just statistical approaches lol) // Open sourced some components: https://github.com/igeligel/react-in-out-textarea and the text conversion soon™ - will launch on Product Hunt soon

- https://linkedium.com [Neither landing page nor app is ready yet] — A LinkedIn post scheduling app, planning to make it a bigger growth tool with insights on what kind of content performs well. Kind of like some analytics + social media scheduler for personal profiles but also company pages

If you have any questions about the projects, feel free to ask me :)

A Rust/Electron/three.js cross-platform disk-space usage analyzer. It's meant to be easy to learn, efficient to use, and nice to look at. I have a beta up and would love any feedback: https://diskatlas.com/ It's my first small software business idea that I'm seriously pursuing. My goal with it is to earn enough passive income that I can return to work on more ambitious exploratory projects, e.g.: http://symbolflux.co…

Looks really cool, I use Disk Inventory X but it's old and it shows, it's very slow and often crashes. I will have to try out your app.

Working on https://blogstreak.com Running static blog is east nowadays but adding comments, likes and subscribe form is not easy. That's why I'm creating blogstreak to host those components. Easy web components that will add those features with minimal coding.

The name "blogstreak" made me expect an app/site that gamifies "blogging": if you blog every day, you'll have a streak.

I've been running a blog for, almos 20 years now, first 9 years on Drupal, then as static first with all comments migrated to disqus then dropped disqus.

For me, not having comments, like buttons, newsletter subscription etc, is not a technical limitation, but a choice. They add too little to warrant the effort (moderation, attention, spam etc). So i'm probably not your user.

Having bootstrapped a WordPress hosting corp, I can only advise you to seek that demography too. I'm certain many WP-blogs would gladly switch to static site (WP maintainance and performance is terrible) if their interaction features remain intact.

Maybe consider "wordpress migration" as a feature. For example.
