https://siteguardian.dev an elixir/phoenix micro-saas that is intented to be an all in one website monitoring solution: - SSL monitoring (Expiration, security and best practices) - Domain registration monitoring - UpTime and performance Monitoring - API/Content Monitoring This has been a great trial using the PETAL stack and I'm really impressed with the development speed and results I can get.

I have developed a blog about ALS disease (Lou Gehrig disease). [0] I wrote also a book about the state of ALS research (updated on February 1) [1] I would be interested in exploring the idea of using Cell Penetrating Peptides (or PROTAC) to either relocate or remove entirely TDP-43 aggregates. It could be studied at low cost on Ciona (an aquarium animal that looks like a plant). If someone is interested my email add…

very cool to see something on here not made with code! hope your book does well!

I'm working on a (not so instant) messaging app to help friends stay connected. Most of us use some form of instant messaging apps like whatsapp, FaceTime, snapchat to be in touch with our close friends/family inner circle. But it's hard to keep in touch with the ones whom we lost touch with. like your best friend from school, ex colleague. My goal is to create an app that will randomly connect them out of the blue.

honest question, but isn't that one of the main value propositiona of Facebook die to its sheer number of accounts? how do you track people without a complementary size?

I work on these three projects to launch them soon: * https://onthesamepage.online/ - a minimalist private whiteboard with no registration; already used in German schools, but working on scaling it and prepare for a more general market. * https://lalatabs.com - a tiny tabulature website for amateur musicians who can't read notes; need to add a few hundred songs and open it to the public. This won't be monitized, and…

On the same page is cool! unfortunately I have Teams' Whiteboard so I don't need it

https://cleave.app Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Think of it as a workspace or project manager from an IDE, but on the OS-level. Started because of frequent multitasking of heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, w…

This would be awesome if it works well and for every app

Me and my friends are currently working on a job board for Devs and IT people from Germany and those who want to move there:

https://germantechjobs.de/en/

The main differentiator between existing boards and our site is the transparency: each company has to provide details like: salary, tech stack, all dev methodologies that they use (are they doing CI/CD, writing integration tests, etc) and so on.

Presently we are polishing the code base, trying to get some attention from the local market, grinding through social media and talking with various companies. If you have any thoughts, ideas, complaints and insights, feel free to drop some comments down below :)

An aggregator ala reddit/hackernews/twitter that uses a market mechanism to better incentivise content discovery. One of the biggest issues with existing aggregators is that: - how well content performs is dependant on the attention it gets immediately after posting. - However, readers aren’t incentivised to sift carefully through new content, which is generally of lower quality than "frontpage" content - This means…

This is brilliant! I love the idea and would be willing to contribute if possible. I agree we don't need another social network where new content is posted. We need a way to sift through the large amount of existing content out there.

My questions:

1) How do you plan on getting content from reddit/twitter/hackernews? Are there api's for this or do you plan to scrape?

2) Would other social sites have issues with you using their content in your social stock market, and possibly profiting from it?

3) Would it be possible for a social network to cut you off and kill your business? For Example: Reddit realized that they are losing traffic because more people are going to [yourSite].com to view Reddit content so they sue you.

Happy to be a part of the team for this project.

Some funny fact: we are very lean when it comes to development and have 0 (Zero) automated tests.

Currently grinding on Curabase (https://www.curabase.com), my tool for shared team bookmarks.

I built it to scratch my own itch. (Apparently I'm the only one with that itch. LOL)

I actually hit the front page of HN here a few years ago with it. Maybe it is time for a second go.

2021 will be the year I monetize it and hope to make it pay for its own hosting.
