#932My roommate and I despise LinkedIn, and all the soul draining "thought leadership" that comes along with it. We also found that it's absurdly easy, and absurdly funny, to poke fun at the mish-mash of content marketing, thought leadership, and broetry that makes up 90% of our LinkedIn feeds.
So we've been working on a "satirical social network," part fake LinkedIn, part The Onion, part something else, and right now we're calling it...ShlinkedIn.
It's been a ton of fun to work on, and we'd love any / all suggestions as we build it out!

#933I'm working on a Hacker News client that I've named HackiNews [1]. It's inspired by HckrNews [2]. I've made it simply to scratch my own itch but with others in mind.
I wanted more granularity in the score that I filtered out. I also wanted night mode (automatically switches with system chosen theme) especially in the comments section.
I have the code available here on GitHub [3] but it's not documented for use as I've only spent a couple days on it.

#934I am building a Vehicle to Home (V2H) charger to use the batteries from my Nissan Leaf to use only off-peak energy (cheaper and greener). Also allows to run the car as backup.

#935Tree-shaped discussion board!
Wanted a better way to layout reply-based social media sites. Please, post interesting programming related content!

#936Meta: This thread is fun to read, it's cool to skim through such a large variety of ideas and projects. I wouldn't mind seeing it as a monthly thing like the "Who is hiring?" posts. There'd probably be some overlap with Show HN, but I personally wouldn't mind if it's just once a month.

#937I'm working on a Dokku-like tool for Docker Swarm mode, where you can describe your entire application (stack) in a docker-compose.yml file and simply git push to deploy your stack on a self-hosted server cluster with automatic load-balancing and SSL using Traefik and Let's Encrypt. The main idea is to develop locally instead of spending hours on server configuration. I'm including some nice metrics and examples like…
This is very interesting.
K8S is often overkill for small and medium size projects, while Heroku sometimes is too simple.
I'm wondering why there is not much tooling around such cases, either we go all-in (k8s) or something very opinionated and simple (heroku).

#938Still working on my multiplayer LAN spaceship bridge simulator game called Space Nerds in Space[1], possibly the worst genre of game to be working on with coronavirus on the loose, since it involves inviting people over to touch your keyboards. [1] https://spacenerdsinspace.com
That looks super cool!

#939I'm building a side project around launch SaaS products as quickly as possible on a JVM stack right now. As a dev who cut their teeth at a bank then a FAANG, I found it really tough to move from working on a small complex part of a big thing to working on broad problems where I felt like I was implementing the same things (password reset, user management etc) over and over. I know that Laravel for PHP and Rails in Ru…
Spring Boot has everything you need to run very quickly. What you aiming at? Speedup of development or deployment?

#940I've been building a browser extension called Curb Your Consumerism that detects when you're on a checkout page for a website and redirects you to a screen that shows you how long you had to work to earn the purchase you're about to make. The idea is to get people to more consciously consume and in general reduce their consumption. It's currently working, but I've stalled a bit because I'm not sure of the best way to…
I want to thank you for making a Firefox extension. As a fellow WebExtension developer, I'm shocked to see how many extension "product" teams just skip adding a version for Firefox, when most of the code is the same (due to the shared standard.)
Thank you for doing what's right!
