Working on my site that lets you annotate and skip around youtube videos - tubenotes.xyz I built it mostly to organize and catalog guitar tutorials that I learn from.
Nice one, that's pretty clever.

#822I was playing Minecraft with my son, and besides clicking on things, it also has some commands that you can type in to change blocks. For example you can fill rectangular areas with the same block. I got curious about whether you could compress images by reducing them into a bunch of rectangles. Due to some limitations it wouldn't really work for images, but I got it working for QR codes: http://craftqr.com/

#823I'm working on an album that represents my shift away from synths to sampled instruments. Synths are fine, but my computer is old and a whole orchestra runs on the same amount of CPU as one synth.

#824After noticing that the growing number of people at my day job seemed to be using our internal jargon differently, I decided to write a team glossary using confluence. The experience left me wanting. No crosslinking of terms, no enforcement of structure/format. Ugly/outdated styling. I thought there had to be a better way, but I couldn't find one so I built Jargonaut ( https://www.jargonaut.net ). It helps you build…
I think it'd be a hard sell to smaller teams, but _maybe_ to organisations that are a bit older or larger and have accumulated a lot of internal cruft. I definitely think it would have been valuable at some of my previous workplaces: at one we had an event log with 12+ different types of transactions and no one in the office could tell me what all 12 meant. I found this out because I was tasked with telling a 3rd party what they meant =/
On a different note - have you consisdered doing some content marketing by making a public jargonaut for common development terms? My little brother is learning to code and he just asked me what the difference between .NET and C# was. I think learning programming is like this x10000 times. I've been daydreaming about making a public Wikipedia-style tech glossary site for at least a year or so. I think it'd be very useful but haven't gotten around to it (in a year so what does that tell you).

#825I’m working on building monitoring and analytics for machine learning (visualizing patterns of data around the data pipeline and model itself).
You’d be able to track long term and short term data distribution changes so you have an idea of when your model could be underperforming and will require retraining.

#826I am building Freecount (https://github.com/ssimono/freecount) a little progressive web app to track expenses in a common pool (like a trip, a shared housing etc). It is meant to be entirely free and open source, without server to deploy, app to install nor account to create

#828I'm working on a browser based, client side, GIF screen capture tool. Give it a try: https://gifcap.dev/
Works nicely, thanks.

#829I'm working on a morse code iOS app that can optionally use Force (3D) Touch. My dad had a stroke recently and is quarantined in a care facility. He can't talk but remembers morse code like a boss. He can't lift his finger off the screen to "tap" and there were no other morse apps out there for people with physical impairment. With this he's able to communicate... I've been coding for 15 years but this was life chang…
What a wonderful thing to read on another day in covid isolation. Very sorry to hear about your father. He must be beyond delighted with what you've made.
Re: Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?
#830Log storage and search system for structured logging data in Rust. i.e a database optimised for logs and log-like data and nothing else. Existing solutions are too inefficient for the use case of logs (TB+/day), suffer under high field cardinality, are based on costly and unnecessary full-text-search systems that aren't well optimised for logs data or just plain and simply can't handle structured data and degrade to…
Would really be interested in the project. We’re building a tool to monitor model performance and data patterns and could see use of this.
