What is everyone working on?

Working on https://greatreads.dev/ A place to aggregate and find articles from developers' blogs. Right now, I'm building a submission form for people to submit new sources.

There is also a way to search for articles using vectors, it's called "Semantic Search". So basically you can ask, for example, "Postgresql and how to best optimize it." and it would search for articles touching that subject, or at least related to it.

Wondering about the best way I can add a weekly newsletter built on top of the content currently being ingested, and still looking for more sources to add to the database (let me know if you have any good recommendations).

Making rent as an open source developer.

Attracting new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my crappy HTML skills.

VERDURE is still a creative plant-generation sandbox where you grow and sculpt stylized trees.

https://inSolitaire.com

I'm building on an ad-free website with 50+ solitaire/puzzle games.

Gotten some feedback from HN already and now fixing things – basically rewriting the engine for the 4th time.

Hoping to add some hundred games more soon!

Two thoughts on solitaire.

1. I don't like how if I already place an Ace and then reveal a 2 that matches it suit, it then automatically moves it over. While mostly trivial, it still takes a way one move from the player and automates it.

2. Would you be willing to expose the value that seeds the game? That way any particular game of solitaire is replayable or sharable with a friend.

A different kind of Internet message board based on two principles: each sentence written must be true, and claims must be easy to verify.

I want something different than Reddit or HackerNews. Something that can't be gamed by flawed metrics or AI. There are some ideas for a different way to rank comments.

Edit: I wonder why this HN thread doesn't get lots of comments, why a similar thread from a week ago also didn't get lots of comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46118229 but a thread posted specifically by https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=david927 gets hundrerds to thousands of comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45869146

I've been working on a digital math workbook. Currently the demo covers fourth grade math. There is a practice mode where you can select the skills you to want practice. There is also a customizable dashboard where you can setup your own tasks. There is still a lot of work to do with improving the UI, but I think it is a good start.

I am currently working on fifth grade math. My plan is to cover first grade math up to Calculus and High School Physics. I envision it as a companion tool for Khan Academy/Math Class/Math Books. It is inspired by Chris McMullen's math workbooks.

Check out the demo. No signup required. Progress is only stored locally. https://demo.numerikos.com/

Are you planning on offering printable worksheets as well?

Comment by mchaver 1 hour ago

Yes, it is a little bit further down in my todo list, but I think for teachers (and students who like worksheets), worksheets would be a nice feature.

Comment by slig 5 minutes ago

Yes, I think so too. Also, they're great to bring organic traffic.

Sente - a custom browser agent for QA automation http://sente.run/

Comment by mchaver 2 hours ago

This is really cool. Can you describe more about the scenarios you define and how you manage them over time? I can imagine if you end up with a lot of them, then it becomes time consuming to perform all of the visual tests or handle the human-in-the-loop part.

I wonder if you could do some automated diffing between the scenario results. If they are pretty similar and they were previously considered in a good state, then you don't necessarily need a QA person to review it.

Puzzleship - a free daily puzzles website with the archives paywalled. Right now it has Logic Grid Puzzles and Zebra Puzzles. I'm pretty proud of the LGP generator algorithm and some experienced players also liked the way the puzzles are constructed. This is my first subscription site and it's been online for less than a week, so I'm learning a lot and trying to figure out the pricing.
